And ye shall be hated

And I care because?
Hosea 9:7
The days of punishment are coming,
the days of reckoning are at hand.
Let Israel know this.
Because your sins are so many
and your hostility so great,
the prophet is considered a fool,
the inspired person a maniac.
I Lived it.
Saw it happening right in front of me.
If you are my age or older?
You saw it too.
If you are not that much younger than me?
Then you grew up in the middle of it.
Not capable of realizing what was going on.
The frog that didn't know he was
even in the water basically.
Revelation 6:6
Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, “Two pounds[a] of wheat for a day’s wages,[b] and six pounds[c] of barley for a day’s wages,[d] and do not damage the oil and the wine!”
(The poor get starvation wages,
the rich continue to get richer,
indulging in more exotic luxuries.)
"The best days of the American economy are long in the past, and better days for the US are unlikely in the foreseeable future.
The 20th-century idea of an “American Dream” – where a sizable majority of people in the US could become or aspire to become middle-class, affluent or even extremely wealthy – is mostly dead in the second quarter of the 21st."
"According to a report from Moody’s Analytics in February, the richest 10 percent of Americans (households with an annual income of at least $250,000) drove half of all US consumer spending (about $10 trillion) between September 2023 and September 2024."
(To say that isn't sustainable?
Is a huge understatement.
All debt based economies eventually fail.)
"The fact that 12.7 million households could collectively outspend much of the rest of the nation is truly jaw-dropping. It points to the end of an economy that has depended primarily on the needs-based and discretionary spending of ordinary working Americans since the end of World War II."
"The biggest surprise of all on the end of the American dream, though, is that for tens of millions of Americans, this is not a surprise. The dismantling of the American dream and the consumer capitalism that
"defined the nation from 1945
through the housing bubble bust in 2008"
began more than a half-century ago.
(His "markers" are 100% spot on BTW:
From the end of WW2,
till the housing bubble bust
which was the First woe,
"a warning of impending doom."
because we and other advanced economies tried an experiment 0% interest rates, it didn't fix anything it just let Billionaires borrow $ for nothing and put it in the stock market and then make back their loan, pay it off and then do it all over again.
It set the stage for interest rates being higher to combat the inflation of the $ supply during Covid (Second Woe) and landed us right where we are today.
Both of these events (Housing crisis and Covid) were Global in nature and the book of Revelation does not say what theyare or when they happened, and if you know me? You know my position on the "chronology" of the book of Revelation. (Most of it anyway) Gods time (as in a vision or in a series of visions) is cylindrical (past present and future all at the same time.) not linear.
So Fuck your
"Regan Revolution"
(US today.)
Think its a coincidence that poster was here when we moved in?
Or all the periodicals about the JFK assassination
from that time period?
WE KNOW BETTER.
Dinosaur FDR democrat,
just like my mom and dad
and all my family was.
That make a lil more sense to you now?
And these days?
Completely apolitical
as we know
whats coming
and thinking an election,
a political party,
or a man
is going to fix the mess our world is in?
COMPLETELY IRRATIONAL
at this point.
CHRIST ALONE
is all that can fix this,
destruction being the biggest part of new birth and all.
Regan's platform he ran on BTW:
1) Cut Taxes
2) Increase military spending
3) Balance the budget.
Im 15.
Im like:
"Dad this doesn't make any sense,
it just doesn't add up,
how is it supposed to work?"
"It wont."
And it didn't.
It made people feel good though.
(See above about style over substance)
Dad also used to say:
"Trickle down economics isn't a theory,
its an excuse
to give your $ to the rich."
And it had never been employed anywhere else in the world by anybody else ever, and they went ahead and did it anyway.
I aint even got started on the moral majority and its ties to Reagan.
Dad, again, a Baptist deacon at that time mind you.
"The moral majority is neither."
And he was right,
cutting the school lunch programs?
for poor students?
While cutting taxes for the wealthy?
Not exactly Moral.
"Get out of her my people!"
Revelation 18:4)
"Particularly from 1981 on, through corporate lobbyists and the merging of various ideological perspectives from both the Republican and Democratic parties, the new lower tax system for the wealthy and for corporations took shape.'
"The nation’s richest individuals once paid as much as 91 percent of their earnings for every dollar over $200,000 in the 1950s, and a 70 percent income tax rate in the 1970s. The Reagan-era tax cuts brought the highest tax rates down to between 50 percent and 28 percent during the 1980s. Although there were some small increases in the highest income tax rates under President Bill Clinton in the 1990s, by then, investments in social welfare programmes had not kept up with inflation for nearly 20 years, and with welfare reform, they would never fully recover."
(The tax base was shifted from the wealthy and corporations, to the middle class, and the church in America was right there with em cheering them on,
as was a brain-washed populace
that didn't understand what was being done.)
"As of the Trump tax cuts during his first term in office, corporate taxes are at an all-time low of 21 percent. These policies have led to a massive shift in wealth from middle-class, working-class, working-poor and impoverished Americans, towards the rich and massive corporations."
(I said that above
before I read that paragraph
because I lived it
and I watched it happen,
so I know its true.
If you were born in 1980?
Its just how things were to you.
You didnt see the pinnacle
of middle class purchasing power
the decade previous.
Your point of reference
is skewed to your experience,
not what immediately preceded it.)
"Carter C Price and Kathryn Edwards authored a RAND Corporation working paper in 2020, estimating that between 1975 and 2018, tax cuts and social welfare austerity had led to a nearly $50 trillion transfer of wealth from the bottom 90 percent of Americans to the top 10 percent in wealth. Worse still, this transference had accelerated in the 2010s to an average of $2.5 trillion annually – all before the COVID-19 pandemic."
(It is the largest transfer of wealth in human history and there wasn't even a shot fired to do it and again a brain -washed populace (see cuts in education) cheered it on thinking they were getting a good deal.)
"In the meantime, things have been bleak for ordinary Americans in other areas of the economy. The federal minimum wage has stayed at $7.25 since 2009 (the minimum wage also went through an eight-year period of stagnation in the 1980s).
(When there is no dignity in working?
Then why even bother?
I never, not once
in any of my careers
(lol and there have been a few)
got paid equal to the value
I was providing my employer.
After a while?
You just say:
"Fuck it, I'll just get by some how
and just go ridin,
Who needs this shit?
I'm just gonna keep getting further
and further behind anyway.
So whats the point?"
:-).
"People say I'm crazy
Doing what I'm doing
Well, they give me all kinds of warnings
To save me from ruin
When I say that I'm okay, well they look at me kinda strange
"Surely, you're not happy now, you no longer play the game"
People say I'm lazy
Dreaming my life away
Well they give me all kinds of advice
Designed to enlighten me
When I tell them that I'm doing fine watching shadows on the wall
"Don't you miss the big time boy, you're no longer on the ball?"
I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go
Ah, people asking questions
Lost in confusion
Well, I tell them there's no problem
Only solutions
Well, they shake their heads and they look at me, as if I've lost my mind
I tell them there's no hurry, I'm just sitting here doing time
I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go
I just had to let it go
I just had to let it go
" Monopolisation and downsizing have continued to cost most Americans living-wage jobs, as half of all working Americans make less than $50,000 a year, and a quarter of all workers make less than $25,000."
(They have turned you into slaves to your debt.
No thx, I'd just as soon just go ride.
"Now, when I was just a little boy
Standin' to my daddy's knee
My papa said, "Son, don't let the man get you

You might just wanna
trust his will
so that you can enjoy it.
Eternally.
"All I wish for you is happiness."
Every last person on this earth.
I really do.
Peace yall.
Love ya.
"All I wish for you is happiness."
In the form of eternal bliss with your creator.
Forever.
But believing just isn't enough.
You have got to
TRUST
his will,
for you,
your church,
your country
and your world
and you have to do it
even when you don't understand it,
even when you strongly dislike his messengers sent to try and explain it to you.
To not trust in Gods will,
that is so evident
in our world today,
IS TO CALL HIM A LIAR.
And your salvation will be forfeited.
(Go read about Korahs rebellion again)
It's rubber hitting the road time folks.
The privilege of being a child of God
adopted through Christ into the royal heavenly family, comes with responsibilities.
Trusting in his will
even when you don't understand it
(Lived that, for years,
ask me and Ill tell you all about it
over coffee somewhere for a few hours lol.)
it is one of them.
All I really know is how much I don't know.
But I do know this:
A church that wants to hear more about bunny rabbits, than it does prophecy?
SIMPLY WILL NOT STAND.
Revelation 19:10
"...for the testimony of Jesus
is
the spirit of prophecy."
See where it said:
"It might be."
or
"It could be, maybe"
Yeah me neither.
To reject Christ prophecy
(which is what the entire book of Revelation is.)
Is to reject him.
PERIOD.
Romans 8:33
33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.
Got a charge to lay against
ANYTHING
Thats being said?
Or me and honey?
Then go take it up with God yourself.
(But I sure wouldn't murmur about it
in church, that's for certain.)
All that being said?

"thy kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on earth
as it is in heaven"
(We are watching it being done.)
1 Corinthians 10:5
Nevertheless,
God was not pleased
with most of them,
and they were struck down
in the wilderness.
(Think he cares if that somehow upsets your delicate Methodist (or other) sensibilities about how things should be? Might wanna rethink that "quick like in a hurry" Micah used to say.)
1 Corinthians 10:6
6 Now these things occurred as examples for us,
so that we might not desire evil as they did.
(As in not trusting in his will is immoral.)
1 Corinthians 10:10
And do not complain
as some of them did,
and were
destroyed by the destroyer.
(Keep not trust his will and thinking:
"Hh that wont happen to us"
and see what happens to you.)
1 Corinthians 10:11
These things happened to them
to serve as an example,
and they were written down
to instruct us,
on whom
the ends of the ages
have come.
(How much more clear could it be?)
1599 Geneva Bible
Summary/Heading:
v10 If God spared not the Jews,
neither will he spare
those who are of like condition,
1 Corinthians 10:2
All of them were baptized
with the outward sign,
but not in deed,
(You will be separated,
and you will be eliminated
"and he will nd he will throughly purge his floor")
1 Corinthians 10:6
An amplifying of the example against them
which are carried away with their lusts
(Cravings)
beyond the bounds
which God has measured out.
(Everybody sins,
calling God a liar
by not trusting his will
you dont understand?
NEXT LEVEL STUFF.)
"to the end
that we which succeed them,
and have a more full declaration
of the will of God,
might by that means
take better heed."
1 Corinthians 10:11
This our age is called the end,
for it is the shutting up
of all ages.
(Back in the early 1600's?
They knew better than we do now.
It's sad really.)
10:12–13 Take care not to fall:
the point of the whole comparison with Israel
is to caution against overconfidence,
a sense of complete security
(Now you see why Satan sold you
the pretribulation rapture nonsense?)
"all sacrifices,
Christian (1 Cor 10:16–17),
Jewish (1 Cor 10:18),
or pagan (1 Cor 10:20),
establish communion.
But communion with Christ is exclusive,
incompatible with any other such communion
(Hear that Easter Bunny?)
Numbers 14:34
you will suffer for your sins
and know what it is like
to have me against you
(And your sin, is not trusting in him
when you don't/cant comprehend
his will.)
(Side note:
1599 Geneva Bible on v. Ex 17:7:
When in adversity
we think God to be absent,
then we neglect his promise,
and make him a liar.
Num.14:11
And the Lord said unto Moses,
How long will this people provoke me,
and how long will it be
ere they believe me,
for all the signs
which I have showed among them?
"An hundredfold as much,
if we look to the true use
and commodities of this life,
so that
we measure them
after the will of God,
and not after the wealth itself"
Numbers 14:37
Even those men
that did bring up that vile slander
upon the land,
shall die by a plague
before the Lord.
"the murmuring of the Israelites against their God-given leaders,
Moses and Aaron—is analogous to the murmuring of the Corinthians against their Apostle, St. Paul."
(And now.)
"Every pestilence that swept over nations to purify them
was a messenger from God."
(Covid, second woe,

"Do not repine

in their journey
of faith through life,
accomplishing his purpose
in them.")
"that they had been brought out of a land of plenty into a wilderness of want; and that instead of being conducted at once to the land of promise, they were left to perish in the desert."
(nobody said it would be easy,
carry your cross etc,
just that it will be worth it.)
"they were doomed to die in the wilderness
without seeing the land of Canaan"
(Because they didnt trust his will.
All the commentators that focus on, Korah and what happened to him and his rebels, and the report of the land, and Moses giving the priesthood to Aaron etc, misses the point, which is:
TRUST IN HIS WILL REGARDLESS.)
"Their murmurs against Moses and Aaron
were virtually murmurs against God."
"The destroyer in Revelation 9:11 being of Satan is merely what we have convinced ourselves of, because we are uncomfortable with the facts scripture points out so clearly for us."
(That was yours truly BTW :-)
"It is essential that we stand back from our presumptions and prejudices and listen carefully to what the Biblical text is telling us. We are living in exciting times, but we need to be diligent in our study of God’s Word. The only certain barrier to truth is the presumption that we already have it."
Chuck Missler 2009)
"murmuring against the divinely commissioned teachers
(Paul, Apollos, and others), who, in their position and authoritative exercise of discipline, corresponded to the type of
Moses and Aaron
as the theocratic leaders
and teachers of
the rebellious people..."
Hebrews 3:12,14
12 Take heed, brethren,
lest there be in any of you
an evil heart of unbelief,
in departing from the living God.
14 For we are made partakers of Christ,
if we hold the beginning of our confidence
stedfast unto the end;"
18 And to whom sware he that
they should not enter into his rest,
Jude 5
the Lord[a] at one time delivered
his people out of Egypt,
but later destroyed those
who did not believe.
(Why no sermons on that I wonder?)
"The accusation implies
that Moses and Aaron
have overstepped their roles,
suggesting an abuse
of power or authority.
This reflects a misunderstanding
or rejection of the divine appointment.
(Seeing it again.)
"The phrase echoes
the human tendency
to resist divinely established authority,
a theme seen throughout Scripture"
(Jude 8
Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh,
despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
(As in Gods dominion over them.)
"it overlooks the specific roles and responsibilities
assigned by God, particularly the unique priestly duties
given to Aaron and his descendants.
The assertion of universal holiness is a distortion
of the covenant relationship"
"ignoring
the structure
God established
for worship
and leadership."
the rebels use this truth
to justify their challenge,
"failing to recognize
that God's presence
does not negate the need
for appointed leaders."
"The question challenges
the perceived elevation of Moses and Aaron,
accusing them of self-promotion.
This reflects a misunderstanding of
their roles as servants of God,

a good lil while ago.)

for the people.
(Matthew 22:14
For many are called,
few are chosen).
"This mirrors the pride and rebellion
seen in other biblical figures
who resist God's order"

"through the one family
which God had set apart
for that purpose."
"overlooking the fact
that God Himself had chosen
Moses and Aaron,
and appointed them
as mediators between Himself

You are a witness to it:
"educate the sinful nation")
