TRUTH AND DECEPTION IN THE LATTER DAYS: Christian Blogger Lorilyn Roberts

I could not have imagined on January 6, 2021, that we would be living as we are fourteen months later. That this country would suppress the results of the election seemed unfathomable. Didn’t people want to know who had won? What about the censorship of other facts—not only connected with the election but also with the vaccine? How can we know the truth about anything if we can’t have open discourse?  

 I could never have imagined what our government would do to our children—the indoctrination of Critical Race Theory, the focus on sexual dysphoria, and the insistence on vaccination for a virus that rarely injured them.

I couldn’t have imagined the censorship of people like me, ordinary, hard-working middle-class Americans who love this country. I could never have envisioned our freedoms being trampled upon—like the freedom to make decisions for ourselves.

Who gave Washington the authority to vilify me and others because we don’t want a vaccine that is ineffective and dangerous? Of course, because of censorship, most people don’t know that. Most people aren’t aware of the thousands who have been injured by the Covid-19  vaccine. Or the thousands who were denied treatment with safe drugs like Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine and given Remdesivir. In prior studies, it was shown to damage the kidneys. Many hospitalized patients were killed by Remdesivir, the treatment that was supposed to help them.

As if that wasn’t enough, the continued false narrative of climate change borders on religious fanaticism.

One of my favorite Bible passages is when Pontius Pilate asked Jesus, “What is truth?” (John 18:38 NIV).

Whether Pilate’s question was in jest or genuine, the question is important because Jesus said deception would mark the latter days. The governor’s only comment after questioning Jesus is when he spoke to the raucous crowd (incited by the Jewish leaders): “I find no basis for a charge against him [Jesus]” (John 18:38).

When Jesus’ disciples asked him in private about the end of days, “Tell us, when will this happen and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age (Matt 24:3 NIV)?” Jesus replied, “Take heed that no one deceives you” (Matt 24:4 NKJV).

I believe Jesus spoke of the time in which we now live. We see the very things Jesus described to His disciples. Many things must take place before Jesus’ return, and yet, of all the things He could have said, His first warning was, “Take heed that no one deceives you.”

If the Christian church today (referred to in Revelation as the Laodicean Church) is as deceived as it seems to be in 2022, what can we expect when the many signs that Jesus listed happen in the next few years? For example, what about when Christians in the West face persecution? We’ve never had Christian or Jewish persecution in the United States.

When I was in Washington on January 6, I watched as Trump supporters physically manhandled men dressed in black, pulling them down to the ground after they attempted to break the U.S. Capitol windows. What followed that day was not an affirmation of those brave souls who saved that side of the Capitol building from being destroyed. Instead, an attack was launched on the people who were there, many of whom, like me, were Christians. The media called the event an insurrection.

There was no insurrection. A few people entered the Capitol building and caused a disturbance, but they were unarmed, and, in my opinion, those who were disorderly might have been planted there by operatives on the inside.

The distortion of what really happened on January 6 is an example of what Christians can expect in the future. I anticipate Christians will be targeted, maligned, tracked down, and imprisoned by government officials. For what? Whatever fits the narrative at that time. Truth is now relative in the eyes of those in power. We will become targeted like the Jews were in Germany. How do I know this? Because Jesus said this would happen.

He told His disciples in Matthew 25:9-10 (NKJV), “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake. And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another.”

In the Bible, the first example of a Jew disobeying the government is when Moses’ mother hid her baby in the reeds of the Nile River. Even back at that time, rulers were “hell-bent” on killing babies, the most vulnerable members of any society. Ecclesiastes 1:9 (NKJV): “What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.”

Did Jesus advocate socialism in His teachings? If you read the parables, you will see Jesus often referred to work. After God created Adam, one of God’s first commands after putting him in the garden was to work it and keep it (Genesis 2:15).

Jesus also modeled a work ethic that would put most of us to shame. Even when He was only twelve, He said to his parents when they found Him in the Temple, “Why did you seek Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father’s business? (Luke 2:45)”

2 Thess 3:10 (NKJV):  “For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.”  

Jesus said to his disciples in John 9:4 (Tree of Live Version), “We must do the work of the One who sent Me, so long as it is day! Night is coming when no one can work.”

How many people during Covid weren’t able to work? I have no doubt that a deep night of darkness is coming when it will be impossible to work. Specifically, in the words of Jesus, Christians will not be able to witness, speak about God, quote Scripture, or worship.

More broadly, Proverbs 16:27 states: “Idle hands are the devil’s workshop; idle lips are his mouthpiece.” If you force people to be unproductive and feed them a carrot with government handouts, you create an environment that is rife with discontent, complacency, and laziness.

Socialism goes a long way toward giving people a sense of entitlement. Hard work is what we are commanded to embrace, and through our diligence, we can tithe for the Kingdom and even have some left over to share with those who are truly in need. That is not socialism; that’s Biblical truth.

“What is truth?” Pontius Pilate asked. Is there not a small voice inside of you that tells you what truth is? Or is your conscience so seared with lies that you can no longer hear the truth? Or is your comfort more important than knowing the truth?

Romans 1:18 (NKJV) states: “The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.”

As the confirmation hearings wrap up for the next Supreme Court Justice, where does Ketanji Brown Jackson, the first black woman nominee to the highest court, stand on gender issues? Was she able to define what a woman is?

What Ms. Jackson said is on record in Washington, but what you say about this topic is recorded in heaven’s book of remembrance. When Jesus returns, those books will be opened. Every act and thought, to the minutest detail, is recorded in those books, and they are far more accurate than I could write as a court reporter, even with my top credentials.

It might be tempting to think that today’s problems aren’t mentioned in the Bible. For example, does the Bible talk about Israel in the last days? Is the root word for Covid, crown, mentioned anywhere in the end-time Scriptures?

Check out the book of Revelation for answers. Revelation is the only book in the Bible that if you read it, you are promised a blessing: “Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take it to heart what is written in it, because the time is near” (Revelation 1:3 NKJV).

The Bible is more relevant than people think. Acts 17:28 (NKJV):  “…for in Him [Jesus Christ] we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also His offspring.’”

And Colossians 1:17 (ESV): “And he [Jesus Christ] is before all things, and in him [Jesus Christ] all things hold together.”

If you haven’t thought about these questions, now is the time. Each of us should be a Berean and search the Scriptures. That is the only way to know what is true and what is false. God has given us a template to live by, and His Truth is as pertinent today as when written thousands of years ago.

If the Bible isn’t relevant, why did countries throughout history seek to ban it? Do you know why the Dark Ages are called the Dark Ages? From 500 AD to 1500 AD, people were forbidden to own a Bible, and the Apostate Church burned Bibles.[1]

 

History repeats itself. The New World Order will implement a reset, and the Globalists will seek to destroy true Christianity. In the name of a fake religion (climate change), they will martyr Christians to reduce the population. Spurned by Satan, they will seek to end the lives of whom the Word of Life indwells.

Why does the New World Order want to reduce the population? I hope it is evident to those who love the Lord that God, in the beginning, provided adequate land and resources to support all the human beings for which He would give His life. It is a lie to say the earth can’t sustain the people that God created.

The truth is, Satan hates human beings. Depopulation in the form of abortion, plagues, war, and starvation—among others, serves the evil one’s agenda. 

Anyone he can deceive is a likely target. If Satan had his way, no human would survive. Jesus stated in Matthew 24:22 (NKJV): “And unless those days were shortened no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened.”

Another critical point is this: The Word of Life (the Holy Spirit) cannot indwell a person who is not fully human. Suppose the devil’s goal is to corrupt the human genetic genome? As stated above, in Ecclesiastes 1:9, “What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.”

At the time of Noah, the bloodline of humanity was corrupted by the fallen angels: “That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose (Genesis 6:2 NKJV).

 

While the mRNA vaccine is NOT the mark of the beast, there is no doubt in my mind that it is a precursor to what is coming. The Bible clearly states that those who receive the mark cannot be saved.

“Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, ‘If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name’” (Rev 14:9 NKJV).

Revelation 16:9-11 (NKJV) also states: “They were seared by the intense heat and they cursed the name of God, who had control over these plagues, but they refused to repent and glorify him…and cursed the God heaven because of their pains and their sores, but they refused to repent of what they had done.”

Is the Holy Spirit unable to “woo” some earth-dwellers to repentance? Perhaps it’s not possible. Jesus died for humankind, not Chimera, not Nephilim, not transhumans, not robots, or any combination of the above.

As the elitists become more emboldened, deception will reach a tipping point. Some Christians (and non-Christian conservatives) who have been “sleeping” will wake up and realize they have been duped. They will recognize the evil lies and start to push back.

I see signs of that happening now. Truth always wins in the end because God always wins. I believe this is when Christians will become the targets of not just censorship but horrible persecution.

When the globalists realize they can no longer operate with the power they gifted themselves during Covid-19, they will have to develop other ways to take away our freedoms. The Constitution is blocking the globalists’ agenda. America is the only country that has a Bill of Rights.

The Internet most likely will be sabotaged and rebuilt with Christian websites/links removed. The only information available on the worldwide web will be what the Globalists want people to know. The church will go underground, like in China. An excellent book to read on this topic of Christian persecution is Live Not by Lies: A Manual for Christian Dissidents,

by Rod Dreher, Adam Verner, et al.

What happens at that time will be evident to those who have swallowed the red pill (The Matrix), but those who take the blue will live in the matrix of deception. The truth is, the Great Tribulation is coming, and it will last seven long, horrific years. On a broad scale, everyone in the world will be affected, but in a biblical sense, the Day of Jacob’s Trouble is to bring the Jewish people back to Israel and God. When it’s over, Jesus will take His rightful place on the throne in Jerusalem.

How soon until our Lord’s return? No one knows, but God has given us His Word that provides a startling account of these last days. Almost one-third of the Bible is devoted to prophecy. God has not left us without the ability to know the future.

The number one sign of Jesus’ imminent return is the reconstitution of the Jewish state in Israel. While Israel was born in a day—

Isaiah 66:8

 

Who has heard such a thing?

Who has seen such things?

Shall the earth be made to give birth in one day?

Or shall a nation be born at once?

For as soon as Zion was in labor

She gave birth to her children.

 

—the birth pangs are increasing, heralding the return of Jesus as King. The ultimate rebirth of Israel will be when Jesus reigns from Jerusalem.

However, before Jesus’ return, those here, referred to as earth-dwellers in the book of Revelation, will endure seven years of unimaginable suffering. Some will repent and accept Jesus as the Messiah. They will occupy this evil world for the glory of God, standing in the gap between the falling away and Jesus’ return. Millions will be martyred.

The truth is, however, many will fall away. According to I Timothy 4:1 (ESV): “Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons.”  

Amos 8:12 states: “They shall wander from sea to sea, And from the north to the east, they shall run to and fro, seeking the word of the Lord, and shall not find it.”

That tells me Bibles, Christian books, writings, magazines, blog posts, articles, signs, pamphlets, and anything Christian worldwide will be almost impossible to find. Because the Word indwells us in the form of the Holy Spirit, I wonder if that means Christians will also be rare.

In my opinion, that points to the rapture taking place before the Great Tribulation begins. However, that doesn’t mean that Christians will not endure tribulation. Suffering refines faith, separating the wheat from the chaff, revealing true faith from comfortable Christianity. But Christians will be spared God’s wrath.

Next time you listen to a news broadcast or someone pontificating about something important, ask yourself, is that person speaking the truth? Question everything you hear so as not to be deceived.

If you have not accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, don’t wait. Do it now. Don’t let the hour pass without committing your life to Him and making Him Lord of your life. God loves you and sent His Son to die on the cross so you could have eternal life.

While the world will get darker and darker, as prophesized in the Bible, allow God’s light to shine through you and be a witness to the truth of God’s sacrificial love. In the upcoming days, God will help you to survive and even thrive. He is coming again to claim His own. If you aren’t ready, now is the time to receive Him into your heart. Don’t be deceived. Jesus Christ is Who He said He was. Read the Bible so you will be able to see the truth despite the rampant deception.

 

Satan’s number one goal is to separate you from God. If you don’t receive Jesus Christ as Lord of your life, you will be deceived. Separated from God, you will succumb to lies, deception, and powers that will terrify you. Fear will be your constant companion.

Governments come and go. Hollywood stars rise and fall. Countries conquer and others disappear from maps. Money is skin deep and gone tomorrow.

Again, I plead with you, if you have not accepted Jesus Christ into your heart, do so now. Repent of your sins, and start living for Christ as if you have no tomorrow.

 

I Peter 1:25: “But the word of the Lord remains forever.” And that word is the Good News that was preached to you.”

BOOK EXCERPT: SEVENTH DIMENSION - THE HOWLING: A Young Adult Fantasy, Book 6

Chapter 1

My horses, Mosi and Oni, took the lead. I could taste victory—sweet victory. They could run like gazelles when I let them. Just one more lap. I heard the roaring crowd chanting my name.

“Run!” I shouted. We passed Tariq, and a scowl covered his brow. He slapped the reins at me in a last-ditch attempt to yank me off the chariot, but I was a seasoned racer now. No chance of that happening.

We rounded the first turn, and I kept my distance. I didn’t want any more trickery or sleight of hand—like Tariq sawing off my wheel. The other racers had been knocked out or given up. Only Tariq was left, but dropping farther behind. The finish line called my name.

Less than a minute later, I threw up my hands triumphantly. I flicked the reins to slow the horses, and the people drummed their feet in the stands. Celebratory flowers littered the Hippodrome as the fickleness of the spectators never ceased to amaze me. The Romans believed I was a criminal and a Jewish one at that. Now that I was the winner—making risky gamblers wealthy—the crowd was on my side. Besides, everybody loved an underdog.

I relaxed for a moment in all the accolades. The Roman authorities wouldn’t dare arrest me. The last thing Pontius Pilate wanted was a riot on his hands and be called back to Rome.

Now was my turn for sweet revenge. What had Tariq done to my father? And that time traveler who terrified Shale at the inn, Tariq must know who sent him.

I searched for my betrothed and Shira behind Pontius Pilate and his entourage, but I couldn’t find them. Out of nowhere, I saw Much-Afraid scurrying across the racetrack. What was Shale’s dog doing here? Horses and chariots were everywhere. Fear that she might get trampled made me panic.

As I was scheming how to help her, a mysterious cloud settled over the racetrack. Amid the fanfare, I heard someone whisper, “Daniel, the race isn’t over.”

Of course, the race was over. I looked around. Who said that, but I couldn’t see anyone in the fog.

The noise of squeaking wheels and cheering fans began to fade into the distance. When the haze lifted, I saw an open scroll, and Tariq and I were racing again—this time among the stars.

I am excited to be publishing the last book in the Seventh Dimension Series, The Howling. It has taken me six years to write the series, and what a journey it's been. 

The full six-volume set is now available on Amazon at the low price of $9.99. Click here to learn more. It is also FREE in Kindle Unlimited for a limited time!

TRUMP, THE NEW WORLD ORDER, AND THE POLITICAL ARENA - MY THOUGHTS: Christian Blogger Lorilyn Roberts

I enjoy watching "aminutetomidnite" and Tony's insights into the political arena. I watch a lot of conservative videos on youtube. I don't always agree with what is said, but I'm always stretched. I rarely comment on the videos that I watch, but on this one, I made a rather lengthy comment and I thought I would share it here with my readers.

I think you (Tony) are looking at Trump in the wrong way. He is a rich man, and he’s been in the circles of the rich and famous for many years. He did not have to become President. He had all the money he needed to live out his life in wealth without doing anything else of significance. The Rothschild’s and the Blackstone Group relationships probably go back decades. 

This is where we differ in how we see Trump. Trump thinks in terms of dollars and cents. Everything has a price tag. He is a deal maker and a real estate developer. 

I believe God uses people where they are. To complement Trump’s weaknesses, God has surrounded him with Christians and men who have a Christian worldview. Trump seems to listen to people who know more than he does about certain things, like the military, and he is willing to take advice. 

Just because Trump continues to have relationships with wealthy people doesn’t mean he is for or against them or the New World Order. He’s not stupid (even though people say he is because they don’t like him). In fact, I think he’s quite smart. He has taken great strides toward knowing all of the so-called enemies of the United States. He wants to be friends with every major world leader as long as they respect America and our national interests. What’s wrong with that? That’s a good thing. 

Trump has an agenda, and if the New World Order can help him to accomplish that, he’s more than willing to bargain. Just like if he can use Putin to make a deal that’s good for the United States, he’ll do it. 

Trump, whether God put it into his heart or it’s just in the man’s make-up, truly wants to make America great. Everything he has done has been to achieve that. And whoever or whatever can help him, he will negotiate with or work with, whether it’s a country, a group or entity. I don’t think people understand how he thinks, so I’m challenging you to look at him through a different lens. 

I also believe God put Trump into office (and according to the Bible, we know that God puts leaders into office and removes them) so we can be sure Trump won because God meant for him to win. Many of his goals are very much in opposition to what the NWO wants and what the far left want. 

For example, he’s against globalization when it comes at America’s expense. That’s dollars and cents. He wants to put tariffs on Chinese products. Again, that’s dollars and cents. A one-world government does not make America stronger. The NWO wants global trade and open borders and a governing body that’s over the United States in terms of treaties and agreements. Here, Trump’s goals are diametrically opposed to theirs. 

I think it’s significant that Putin is not a part of the NWO. That makes it easy to make Putin the bad guy, but that doesn’t help America, and Trump wants to make America strong. Trumps sees bargaining with Russia as a good thing if it benefits us. To the contrary, if there is war, that’s good for NWO, the bankers, the globalists, and all those folks, because they make money financing both sides of the war. They really don’t care who wins. They are not beholden to any country. 

Trump loves America. In that sense, again, his goals are different from the NWO. Trump is pro-life and the NWO wants depopulation. Again, their goals are opposites. 

But I see a commonality when it comes to Israel. I imagine Trump would love to finance the rebuilding of the Temple. What a real estate project that would be! It would not surprise me to see him involved in some way towards making that happen. 

Obviously, that’s also the goal of the Zionists, the Jews, the Freemasons, the Catholic Church, the Rothschild’s, and on and on. 

So I think it’s very complicated and it’s somewhat misleading to say he is or he isn’t fighting the New World Order. I don’t think he thinks that way. He thinks in terms of money, making America great, and restoring here what has been lost. And being an American, I can tell you, the U.S. has been going in the wrong direction for many, many years. 

I’m thankful that God is using Trump to accomplish many things that no other leader in America has had the guts to do. I’m thankful that he has restored our relationship with Israel. I’m thankful he’s putting pro-life Supreme Court Justices on the Supreme Court. I’m thankful that he is getting us out of dangerous agreements like the Iran deal, the Paris Accord, and pulling us out of UNESCO, if I’m not mistaken, because of their anti-Israel bias. I’m thankful that he met with Kim Jung Un, as it appears that the North Korean leader is taking steps to denuclearize. Time will tell. I’m thankful that he met with Putin, and all the other world leaders he’s met with. Those are good things. 

We need to pray for President Trump. I think every day of his life he is in danger. I truly believe God’s hand is on him. I don’t call him a Cyrus, I certainly don’t call him a saint, but I call him an extraordinary leader. 

He’s what America needs at this hour, and I can tell you, the NWO is probably pretty upset about the state of affairs right now in the world because they have someone in Washington they can’t control. 

Trump is his own man, and as long as he’s pro-life and a staunch supporter of Israel, he has my vote. As a final note, I enjoy your broadcasts and insights. I hope you take my comments in the spirit in which they were intended. Blessings.

WHAT GOD IS TELLING ME - REPENT, PRAY AND DON’T BE DECEIVED ABOUT THE LAST DAYS: Devotional by Lorilyn Roberts

I have hesitated to write this post because it's controversial. It will make readers uncomfortable. It makes me uncomfortable. But God has told me it’s time to come out of my comfort zone. It’s time to speak the truth, and sometimes that’s not popular or expedient. Some will think I have become an end times lunatic or a believer in conspiracies. Well, so be it. I write from my heart and continue to ask God for wisdom and discernment.

Before I started working on Seventh Dimension - The City, Book 4, I asked God to show me the battle between good and evil throughout history and into the last days. While God wins, sometimes winning is hugely costly—it cost Yeshua His life. Sometimes winning brings an outcome we don’t expect. Sometimes we must lose the battle to win the war. I am confident of this one thing, though: God is on my side.

Be careful what you ask for. I'm sure you’ve heard that expression before, but it's true. I have spent the last forty plus years living out a comfortable Christianity. Not that my Christian walk has always been easy and not that I haven't endured trials and hardships, but compared to what's coming, I am hesitant to label anything about my Christian walk in the past, comparing it to what’s to come, as anything more than minor suffering.

As I look at what our Christian and Jewish brothers and sisters in Syria and other countries around the world are facing, don’t believe for an instant that what they are enduring won’t come to America. Believe, me, the West is not going to go comfortably into the sunset before the Lord’s return. We are ignorant to think we will escape some degree of suffering even if we don’t experience the full wrath of God.

The King James Bible in 2 Thessalonians 2:11 states: “And for this cause God shall send them a strong delusion, that they should believe a lie.”

Could I be deceived? Could you be deceived? 

In 1994, when my daughter, Manisha, suffered an epileptic seizure, the cause was nearly impossible to diagnose based on ambiguous MRI’s. It was called a "zebra" in medical parlance. We ended up going to Yale University so she could be examined by a renowned doctor in pediatric infectious disease. This physician was the only one who was certain that what my daughter had was a “worm in her head,” known as neurocysticercosis. She assured me it was treatable, that my daughter could fully recover, and that she did not have what was initially labeled as a brain tumor.

Considering that my adoptive father died of a brain tumor five years to the very day that my daughter had the partial complex seizure, I was skeptical and scared. It was this doctor’s validation that gave me the assurance I needed to go to Vietnam and adopt my second daughter, Joy, one week later. Looking back on those difficult days, it’s hard to believe Manisha is now 24 and Joy will be turning 17 in a few short weeks.

How could this doctor be so sure of the diagnosis despite the doubts of others? How could she give me that assurance? Because she knew what neurocysticercosis was—better than anyone else at that time. She was one of the leading authorities on this disease in 1994.

Do we know the times in which we live? Have we studied Scripture and asked God to open our eyes to what's coming? Are we prepared? Are we as the five wise virgins in the Parable of the Ten Virgins (Matthew 25) ready for the bridegroom’s return? Or are we as the five foolish virgins who missed the wedding because they weren’t prepared and ran out of oil before the bridegroom arrived?

I have always been struck by what Jesus said in this parable: “And the foolish said unto the wise, ‘give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.’ But the wise answered, saying, ‘No so; lest there be not enough for us and you, but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.’’’

The wise virgins did not (or could not) give their oil (the Holy Spirit) to the foolish virgins. 

A few years following the health crisis of Manisha, I wrote a blog post about the experience. I explained how she had a parasite in her brain, a parasite that she contracted in Nepal before I adopted her at age 3. I wrote the article so that other adoptive parents could be warned about neurocysticercosis. I didn’t want anyone else to bring home an adopted son or daughter and face the fear and uncertainty I had faced, something that could easily be remedied with a simple deworming pill—just like you give to dogs and cats and farm animals for hookworm and other parasites.

After publishing that article on my blog, I was contacted by the producers of the Animal Planet show, "Monsters Inside Me." They had found my blog post and wanted to feature our story.

A few years after the airing of the episode, the producer emailed me once again and asked if I knew of anyone else who had adopted a child and had a similar story of a brain or other parasitic infection. I told her of one person who had contacted me and who had said he was "filled with worms and didn’t know what to do. They were destroying his body…" The producer responded back and said the person had Morgellons Syndrome. Of course, I had no idea what that was, so I Googled it. Someone suffering from Morgellons Syndrome is deluded with parasites.

The producer of Animal Planet’s “Monsters Inside Me” could tell the difference between someone who really had a parasitic infection from those who only thought they did. 

Do I have that kind of knowledge or perception when it comes to current world events and what the Bible says about those events? Do I know God's truth well enough to tell a fake story from a lie or a delusion? 

Luke 21:26 states: "...Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth; for the powers of heaven shall be shaken."

To be honest, until the last couple of months, I couldn't imagine what could be so horrific that men's hearts would fail them with fear. What could be worse than a nuclear bomb? While that is scary, it would not cause my heart to fail me with fear. I guess it’s because I have lived with that possibility all my life.

I believe there are things that will be worse than that—things that are supernatural. 

Luke 17:26 states: "And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man."

When I think of these words, I imagine people living in sin, forgetting God, and being filled with wickedness. Every day I caption sports and news on television, and I have yet to caption a newscast that was filled with just “good news.” The problem with this “traditional” interpretation is that this kind of sin has been going on since Adam and Eve rebelled in the garden. What was different about the time of Noah?

How many of you have heard about the Nephilim? How many of you have heard about transhumanism and the creation of hybrids? How many of you have heard about CERN? How many of you have heard about the increase in UFO's, alien abductions, and animal mutilations? How many of you know about the connection of the Vatican with the Mount Graham National Observatory near Safford, Arizona? Why does the Vatican have a telescope in Arizona? What are they looking for? How many of you are familiar with HAARP, a high frequency active auroral secret research program that no one will talk about? 

It's linked to the chem trails that are being sprayed from airplanes all over the world. What are they spraying and why? What about Jade Helm, another top-secret military operation that ended a few days ago—why have they labeled Texas, Utah, and Southern California hostile states?

I have mentioned only a few things here to show you why it's important to know God's truth and why we need to be informed and prepared for the last days—whenever those days might come. We don't know God's timetable for anything. But there are signs. I believe the only thing that is holding back "the day of the Lord" is God's merciful hope that people will turn to Him and repent, and as a nation, we have a lot for which to repent.

This week, several significant events are taking place. The Pope will be visiting the United States and addressing the United Nations and Congress following the most Holy Day of the Jewish calendar, Yom Kippur, on September 23. It is the Day of Atonement, a day when Jews fast, engage in prayer, and ask for forgiveness. If the rapture were to take place this year, I believe it would happen on Yom Kippur. Of course, none of us knows the day or the hour. It might not be for a hundred years. Only God knows. 

Other significant events have also happened recently or are still occurring. We are at the end of a blood moon tetrarch cycle that has taken place on the Jewish holy days for the last two years. Historically, tetrarch blood moon cycles rarely fall on the Jewish appointed days, but when they do, significant events have been associated with them.

We are at the end of the seven-year Shemitah (financial) cycle and possibly at the end of the 49-year Jubilee cycle. If this is true (and it’s hard to know absolutely because the Jewish Jubilee hasn’t been celebrated in over 2,000 years), the last Jubilee year before this one would have been in 1967 when the Jews took Jerusalem back on June 11, 1967, in the Six Day War (to calculate this, you need to use the Jewish lunar calendar and not the solar calendar).

We face perilous times in the Middle East. The recent treaty with Iran puts Israel at risk. War is imminent. In my opinion, it's not a matter of "if" but "when."

I began work on my book Seventh Dimension - The City by asking God to show me the battle between good and evil, particularly in the last days. God has given me much to think about. If you ask yourself the same question and you do the same reading and research I have done, you will eventually have the same second question: What is truth and what is delusional?

I don't believe we can know these answers humanly-speaking. Because the battle we fight is spiritual, we can only discern it spiritually. As a Christian, that would be through the Holy Spirit. 

One thing I have learned: The occult is alive and well on planet Earth. Do not underestimate what Satan is about. He is the "prince of the air" and he knows his craft well. He also knows his time is short. He has plenty of “angels of light” roaming the earth giving enlightenment, but be aware. This is occult knowledge—not from Jesus Christ. Have nothing to do with these masqueraders. And there are many, including the elite, those pushing for a New World Order, and those who practice freemasonry.

We must remember Ephesians 6:17-18: "And you will need the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit—which is the Word of God. Pray all the time. Ask God for anything in line with the Holy Spirit's wishes. Plead with Him, remind Him of your needs, and keep praying earnestly for all Christians everywhere."

II Timothy 1:7 states: “God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and love and a sound mind.”

If the stock market crashes a thousand points this week, are you going to panic? If the banks close, do you have some cash stashed away that you can quickly access and live off of for a month? Do you have a few weeks of food on hand if the shelves at the grocery store are emptied by panic-driven mobs? What if there is no money available at the teller machine because our country is in the throes of a financial crisis and no cash or credit is available? What if the power grid fails and your house turns dark? Are you prepared for that kind of adversity? It could happen. It's happened before.

More importantly, if the rapture doesn't happen until after a period of trial and tribulation, are you ready to suffer? Are you ready to die for your faith? A friend of mine who has a friend whose husband is a trucker pulled into a truck-weighing station on the highway. When they checked the contents inside his truck, they found guillotines. Why would anyone be transporting guillotines in America?

We live in perilous times. My greatest fear is the true church in America is sleeping. As Christians, I don’t believe we are prepared physically, emotionally, or spiritually for what may be coming. We are too complacent sitting in front of our television screens, filling our already too full bellies with ice cream and snapping silly selfies with our latest iPhone. I am guilty also, but I am trying to do my part now to alert others—God needs you. He needs you to be a witness. He needs the sleeping church to wake up. We are His army. He needs us to be aware and ready so our oil is full and not empty.

We are either on the verge of the greatest Christian awakening in history or what the Bible refers to as the Tribulation. I don’t know about you, but I’d much rather leave for my children a world brimming with the knowledge of God and the love of Jesus Christ. It’s not too late to wake up the sleeping church.

Israel needs you. Be the friend they need during these dangerous days. Yes, the Jews are living in Israel in disbelief. That’s why they need us more than ever. God brought them back in disbelief. He has not abandoned them. God needs us to be their friend and be a witness to them. They need to know evangelical Christians are behind them one hundred percent even if Washington isn't.

We need to stand for truth when it comes to marriage. Don't cave in. Don't compromise. God made man and woman this way, to cling to one another and bear children together. To believe anything other than this is an abomination. Don’t be deceived.

Ask God to forgive us for any role we have had in the greatest holocaust since World War II—the killing of the unborn child. Their blood cries out for justice. We should shake in our shoes over God’s coming judgment for this horrific crime—a crime that has not only afflicted our country, but we set the precedent and gave “permission” to legalize abortion to the rest of the world. We have led the whole world astray. 

The timing of the release of the Planned Parent videos is not without significance. We have sacrificed our children at the altar of convenience, and ultimately, Satan’s altar. We have fed the false religions of this world with the blood they crave—just like the heathen in ancient times. Don’t be deceived. There is power in that blood—the power of life. Don't believe for a second God has turned a blind eye to the one billion plus children who have been aborted worldwide. “The day of the Lord” is coming.

Pray for our country. Pray for our nation. Pray for revival. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Pray that no matter what happens, whether we see demons coming in UFO's who claim to be the saviors of mankind or our country is invaded with strange apparitions that are part human and part demonic (Nephilim), we will not waiver in our faith. We will not take the mark of the beast. We will die for our belief that Jesus Christ is King of Kings and Lord of Lords. He is the Messiah and no one else. No matter what happens, remember who wins, and in the end, that's all that matters. The battle belongs to the Lord and He will give all of us the strength and grace to do His good work until His return.

Again, do not give up or grow weary. There is good in the world and it’s worth fighting for. God does not want anyone to perish, but for everyone to be saved. Let’s join together and pray for revival before it’s too late. There is still time. Return to God. Pray—in the car, in the shower, in bed, at work. Pray unceasingly—and hopefully, God will hear our prayers and delay His coming judgment.
