Whose side are you on?-2
This was a picture taken of my grandfather passing out Gideon Bibles at the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss).
As you read this, you will understand why the picture of my grandfather has become so significant to me.
As I have worked on this site, I have fought and wrestled with God. I have been frustrated and exhausted and overwhelmed. Every time I look at this picture it reminds me of why I am here and what He has called me to do and to stop complaining. I look at my grandfather, “The Tired Gideon”, fighting the good fight at the age of 80 wearing a suit in the middle of the summer.
2 Timothy 4 : Preach the Word
7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 8From now on the crown of righteousness is laid up for me, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but to all who crave His appearing.
My Grandfather passed away in 2009. At his funeral, the amount of people that came and told me that he was one the “most Godly men” they had ever met, and the impact he had on their life, made me think on how I was living my life. When he passed away God stirred up my heart. I knew the life I was leading was not pleasing to Him. I knew I would not have that same reception as my grandfather had my time ended then. I was in the midst of one the roughest patches of my life, and it was when I really started seeking the Lord with all my heart. It was when God started opening my eyes and started giving me understanding.
The 2017th Verse of Psalms could not describe any better…
Psalms 119:59
59I considered my ways & turned my feet to Your testimonies.
Anyone who knows me knows I am not a great communicator, but I know there is reason I have been led down the path I have been and seen the things God has allowed me to see. I felt in my heart this is what He has called me to do, and I pray that it will help comfort those who are tired and weary like I am, knowing that our redemption is near. I pray it will help sort through any confusion and will allow you to pull down any strongholds you might have. As John the Baptist prepared the way, I prepare that we begin to start preparing our hearts.
- I spent the first 30 years of my life trying to be somebody.
- The past 8 years realizing I was nobody.
- Recently, realizing what He can do with a nobody.
I was born in Vicksburg, Ms, known historically for its part in the Civil War. When I was 10 we moved to Huntsville, AL. Known for The U.S. Space & R
ocket Center which showcases rockets, achievements, and artifacts of the U.S. space program. Huntsville is home to Cummings Research Park, which is the 2nd largest research park in the nation and the 4th largest in the world.
From Huntsville.org : The high-tech city of Huntsville, which sprawls at the foot of a mountain in North Alabama, is equally at home in the 19th century or the 21st. Huntsville’s tourist attractions reflect the heritage of Alabama’s first English-speaking city, the strife of the American Civil War and the accomplishments of America’s rocket scientists.
The city is nicknamed “The Rocket City” for its close history with U.S. space missions. Huntsville has been important in developing space technology since the 1950s.
I always wondered what God thought of our endeavors to the moon and space. I always wondered how it tied in with the bible. I wondered how science, technology, and space fit into God’s story because it all seemed directly opposed to it.
After college I ended up becoming a computer programmer, not out of love for doing it, but of n
ecessity, in that it was the only job I could find. My dad friends referred me which is the only reason I got my first job. After my first few months I didn’t think I was going to cut it. I was staring at stuff like this. I first thought, who on earth thought of this came up with crap, to be honest. I played basketball through college so I know what being physically tired exhausted from running up and down a court for 2 hours felt like, but a whole different type of exhaustion set on me everyday trying to understand this.
When you staring at thousands and thousands of lines of this everyday it can make you wanna pull your hair out. After about 6 months I finally had unlocked something in my brain to be able to comprehend it. After another 6 months I knew the very basics and code a couple of things. It took me about 5 years before I felt comfortable and not completely inadequate. Luckily I did before technology started progressing really rapidly a few years ago. New systems, new software languages, and technologies were coming from every direction. In the back of my mind I wondered how any of this correlated with the bible. I had started to try understand more about what was in it. I would read and understand bits and pieces of it here and there but I could never really sink my teeth into it. I believed in my heart that the Bible is the truth and the Word of God but was left frustrated because there was so much I didn’t understand.
I couple of years ago I saw that the sign in Revelation 12 was going to occur.
REVELATION 12 : THE WOMAN AND THE DRAGON
1And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars: 2And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
This sign occurs on SEPTEMBER 23, 2017 and it is the first and only time this sign will ever occur.
It first struck me with anxiety because I had no idea what it meant. Everyone I have told just gives me a shrug of the shoulders which made me even more perplexed. Christians blowing it off like it’s nothing, even after telling them that this is the only time this sign has or ever will occur, leaving no doubt it is the sign John saw in his vision on the Isle of Patmos.
It reminded me of…
Matthew 22 : Parable of the Wedding Banquet
2The kingdom of heaven is like to a certain king, which made a marriage for his son, 3And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come. 4Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatted calves are killed, and all things are ready: come to the marriage. 5But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise
When I used to look at the picture of my grandfather, I just thought it was pretty neat that he got his picture in the paper for handing out bibles. Recently, I sat down and looked at it more closely, in regards to the detail of the picture. Not in regards to pixels or clarity, but in terms of the biblical story line. Gideon was from the Tribe of Manassah . Ephraim and Manassah were the 2 sons of Joseph born to him in Egypt. Gideon was used by God to defeat the Midianite’s and tore down the Altar of Baal which is the Canaanite name for Nimrod (“rebellion”), which ironically is the mascot for Ole Miss (“rebels”).
Little did I know how all of this would tie together and I am sure you are probably wondering what in the world any of this has to do with each other.
So how in the world does :
- The Sign in the Heavens,
- The picture of my Grandfather,
- Baal,
- Rebellion,
- Joseph and his two sons born to him in Egypt (Ephraim and Manassah)
- Civil War
- Technology, Space, and Science,
have anything to do with each other?
Jesus told Peter, “If you love me, feed my sheep“.
I pray this will help feed those who are hungering. After having gone down endless rabbit holes, headaches, and confusion, I pray the following will help to dramatically simply the confusion, clarify, and comfort for any of those looking for redemption and how this all fits into God’s redemptive plan.
This sign would logically mean that we’re at the end of the script. The end of His redemptive plan. In short, I feared because I wasn’t sure if I was ready, and I wanted to make sure I was included. As I so how fast technology was moving and the direction everything was heading a few years ago, my urgency was turned up about 100x. I started putting everything aside and put all my focus and energy into understanding the bible. I knew that if people are smart enough to come up with all this technology, then they probably knew what was in the bible, and they have led us down a dark path of deception
It really hit me when we started using this tool at work:
LUKE 21 : BE WATCHFUL
34And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come on you unawares. 35For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36Watch you therefore, and pray always, that you may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
We are commanded during this time to to watch, to be diligent, and pray that we are worthy to escape.
If those words aren’t sobering enough, I don’t know what else is.
Revelation 16 :
Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, G1127 and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
γρηγορεύω grēgoreúō to keep awake, i.e. watch (literally or figuratively):—be vigilant, wake, (be) watch(-ful).
Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly [is] ready, but the flesh [is] weak.
37 Blessed [are] those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them. … 39 And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
Luke 21 : The Return of the Son of Man (Matthew 24:26-31; Mark 13:24-27)
25And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth 
distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
Beginning in 2014 :
4 consecutive blood moons fell on Feast Days, with the last one on 9 / 28being a super blood moon over Jerusalem
26Men’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. 27And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift your heads; for your redemption draws near.
Matthew 24 : Temple Destruction Foretold(Mark 13:1-9; Luke 21:5-9)
1And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to show him the buildings of the temple.2And Jesus said to them, See you not all these things? truly I say to you, There shall not be left here one stone on another, that shall not be thrown down.3And as he sat on the mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of your coming, and of the end of the world? 4And Jesus answered and said to them, Take heed that no man deceive you.5For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. 6And you shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that you be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:
and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 8All these are the beginning of sorrows.
Witnessing to All Nations (Mark 13:10-13; Luke 21:10-19)
9Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and you shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.10And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
Global persecution of Christians is ‘growing worse than ever’
11And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 12And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

13But he that shall endure to the end, the same shall be saved. 14And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness to all nations; and then shall the end come.
The Abomination of Desolation (Mark 13:14-23; Luke 21:20-24)
15When you therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoever reads, let him understand:) 16Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: 17Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: 18Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes. 19And woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! 20But pray you that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: 21For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened. 23Then if any man shall say to you, See, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.24For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; so that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. 25Behold, I have told you before.
The Return of the Son of Man
26Why if they shall say to you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
Ancient Egypt (Aug 8, 2017):
Archaeologists think they’ve found a secret chamber in the Great Pyramid of Giza
27For as the lightning comes out of the east, and shines even to the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 28For wherever the carcass is, there will the eagles be gathered together. 29Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
The Eclipse on August 21st.
30And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
33 days later on September 23, 2017
From the first blood moon that appeared on 4 / 15 / 2014 to 9 / 23 / 2017 is 42 months
This is the first 3.5 half years of the Tribulation and was “the beginning of sorrows.”
The Sign on 9/23 marks “the Great Tribulation.” and the final 3.5 years
The lesson of the Fig Tree(Mark 13:28-31; Luke 21:29-33)
32Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near: 33So likewise you, when you shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. 34Truly I say to you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. 35Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
Be Ready at Any Hour (Genesis 6:1-7; Mark 13:32-37; Luke 12:35-48)
36But of that day and hour knows no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. 37But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 38For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, 39And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 40Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 41Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 42Watch therefore: for you know not what hour your Lord does come. 43But know this, that if the manager of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.44Therefore be you also ready: for in such an hour as you think not the Son of man comes. 45Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord has made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?46Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he comes shall find so doing. 47Truly I say to you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods. 48But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delays his coming; 49And shall begin to smite his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunken; 50The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looks not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, 51And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
2 Peter 3 : Christ’s Coming Judgment
3Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, 4And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.5For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: 6Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
The Day of the Lord (Zephaniah 1:7-18; 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11)
10But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. 11Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in all holy conversation and godliness, 12Looking for and hastening to the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? 13Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwells righteousness.
If we FEAR God and walk in his ways then the we should be looking expectantly for our redemption.
If you don’t, then i can assure you, your heart will soon fail from fear when you begin to see what is about to come on the earth.
The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.
12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
12What man is he that fears the LORD? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose. 14The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will show them his covenant.
6But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that comes to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.7BY FAITH Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.
We need to understand WHY Judgement is coming and we need to decide whose side we’re on.
As you will see, if you read to the end of this, the book of Revelation is “The Adultery Test”.
“The Law of Jealousies” in Numbers 5 which you don’t want to be on the wrong side of.
The 1st 2 Commandments and the 2 most serious offenses.
Exodus 20 : The 10 Commandments
3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness [of any thing] that [is] in heaven above, or that [is] in the earth beneath, or that [is] in the water under the earth: 5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God [am] a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth [generation] of them that hate me; 6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
DEUTERONOMY 4 : WARNING AGAINST IDOLATRY
25When you shall beget children, and children’s children, and you shall have remained long in the land, and shall corrupt yourselves, and make a graven image, or the likeness of any thing, and shall do evil in the sight of the LORD your God, to provoke him to anger: 26I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that you shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto you go over Jordan to possess it; you shall not prolong your days on it, but shall utterly be destroyed. 27And the LORD shall scatter you among the nations, and you shall be left few in number among the heathen, where the LORD shall lead you. 28And there you shall serve gods, the work of men’s hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell. 29But if from there you shall seek the LORD your God, you shall find him, if you seek him with all your heart and with all your soul. 30When you are in tribulation, and all these things are come on you, even in the latter days, if you turn to the LORD your God, and shall be obedient to his voice; 31(For the LORD your God is a merciful God;) he will not forsake you, neither destroy you, nor forget the covenant of your fathers which he swore to them.
In Revelation it says “the bride has made herself ready,” which means preparation. I needed to build my spiritual ark. We live in the most confusing, deceptive time imaginable, so I knew I needed to be anchored in the truth
- I wanted to know why we are considered “the bride”
- I wanted to make sure I knew what “ready” meant.
- I wanted to make sure I had the key of David.
- I needed to put on my armor because the battle was coming right to my front door.
- I needed understanding and discernment.
- I needed to understand what His plan of redemption was.
- I needed to understand His promises.
- I needed to start shedding all the things that were hindering my relationship with Him.
- I needed to understand what I was supposed to do and what He wanted from me.
- I needed to make sure I was living according to His will and not my own.
It has taken me on the most disturbing, humbling, yet incredible journey of my life. I pray by the end, you will understand the answer to these questions. I pray you know exactly what the sign on September 23rd represents, and you will see the sign as pure joy instead of fear, and that you will understand that God wrote it in the stars from the foundation of the world.

JOEL 2 : THE ARMY OF LOCUSTS(Amos 7:1-9)
1Blow you the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD comes, for it is near at hand; 
The trumpet was blown as a Warning Sign, and also as reminder of the ram offered for a burnt offering as ransom for Isaac.
Piece from fire found by Isaac Mccord.
Strange, unexplained “trumpet” sounds in Jan 2016 across the world
2A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread on the mountains: a great people and a strong; there has not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations. 3A fire devours before them; and behind them a flame burns: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yes, and nothing shall escape them. 4The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run. 5Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devours the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array. 6Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather blackness. 7They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks: 8Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in his path: and when they fall on the sword, they shall not be wounded. 9They shall run to and fro in the city; they shall run on the wall, they shall climb up on the houses; they shall enter in at the windows like a thief. 10The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining: 11And the LORD shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executes his word: for the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?
RETURN WITH ALL YOUR HEART
12Therefore also now, said the LORD, turn you even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning: 13And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn to the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repents him of the evil. 14Who knows if he will return and repent, and leave a blessing behind him; even a meat offering and a drink offering to the LORD your God? 15Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly: 16Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet. 17Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare your people, O LORD, and give not your heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: why should they say among the people, Where is their God?
RESTORATION PROMISED
18Then will the LORD be jealous for his land, and pity his people. 19Yes, the LORD will answer and say to his people, Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and you shall be satisfied therewith: and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen: 20But I will remove far off from you the northern army, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea, and his stink shall come up, and his ill smell shall come up, because he has done great things. 21Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the LORD will do great things. 22Be not afraid, you beasts of the field: for the pastures of the wilderness do spring, for the tree bears her fruit, the fig tree and the vine do yield their strength. 23Be glad then, you children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God: for he has given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month. 24And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with wine and oil. 25And I will restore to you the years that the locust has eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you. 26And you shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD your God, that has dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed. 27And you shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the LORD your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed.
I WILL POUR OUT MY SPIRIT
28And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit on all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: 29And also on the servants and on the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit. 30And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. 31The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the LORD come. 32And it shall come to pass, that whoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD has said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.
Gatlinburg is the path of the Eclipse
16But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, said God, I will pour out of my Spirit on all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
EXODUS 3 : MOSES AT THE BURNING BUSH
1Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb.
2And the angel of the LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the middle of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed. 3And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt. 4And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the middle of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.

DEuteronomy 33 : Moses blesses Joseph
16And for the precious things of the earth and fullness thereof, and for the good will of him that dwelled in the bush: let the blessing come on the head of Joseph, and on the top of the head of him that was separated from his brothers.17His glory is like the firstling of his bullock, and his horns are like the horns of unicorns: with them he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth: and they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh.
GENESIS 49: Jacob BLESSES OF JOSEPH
22Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well; whose branches run over the wall: 23The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and hated him: 24But his bow stayed in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob; (from there is the shepherd, the stone of Israel:) 25Even by the God of your father, who shall help you; and by the Almighty, who shall bless you with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lies under, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb: 26The blessings of your father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors to the utmost bound of the everlasting hills: they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brothers.
1And there appeared a great wonder in heaven;

REVELATION 3 : CHURCH OF PHILADELPHIA
7To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: These are the words of the One who is holy and true, who holds the key of David. What He opens, no one will shut; and what He shuts, no one will open. 8I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door, which no one can shut. For you have only a little strength, yet you have kept My word and have not denied My name. 9Look at those who belong to the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews but are liars instead. I will make them come and bow down at your feet, and they will know that I love you.

10Because you have kept the word of my patience, I also will keep you from the hour of temptation, which shall come on all the world, to try them that dwell on the earth. 11Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which you have, that no man take your crown. 12Him that overcomes will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write on him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from my God: and I will write on him my new name. 13He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit said to the churches.
2 TIMOTHY 4 : PREACH THE WORD
6For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time of my departure is at hand. 7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 8From now on the crown of righteousness is laid up for me, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but to all who crave His appearing.

Ewes have estrus cycles ab
out every 17 days,[71] during which they emit a scent and indicate readiness through physical displays towards rams. The female then exhibits sexually receptive behavior, a situation that may be signaled by visible physiologic changes. A signal trait of estrus is the lordosis reflex, in which the animal spontaneously elevates her hindquarters.
The trumpet was blown as a Warning Sign, and also as reminder of the ram offered for a burnt offering as ransom for Isaac.
The LORD God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds feet and he will make me to walk upon mine high places.
From Hattiesburg, Mississippi…“Heaven and earth shall pass away,but my words shall not pass away.”
Opened to Psalm 46
1God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. 2Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the middle of the sea; 3Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah. 4There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High. 5God is in the middle of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early. 6The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted. 7The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah. 8Come, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations he has made in the earth. 9He makes wars to cease to the end of the earth; he breaks the bow, and cuts the spear in sunder; he burns the chariot in the fire. 10Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. 11The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
