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.”

DR. BRIAN SIMMONS ON THE BOOK OF REVELATION - ARE HIS INTERPRETATIONS BIBLICAL: Christian Blogger Lorilyn Roberts




I watched this video because a friend asked me to listen to Dr. Brian Simmons’ interpretation of Revelation. While I don’t have a firm grasp on Simmons’ beliefs about salvation (if they comport with traditional Christianity), after watching this YouTube video, I must say his teachings on the book of Revelation are strange and unscriptural. Do not be deceived by his allegorical interpretations.



I posted the link to the video here not to promote Simmons' teachings, but to point out how important it is that we weigh what anyone says, including a teacher with a doctorate in theology, with what the Bible teaches. While I don’t have Simmons’ qualifications, I am a student of the Bible and feel compelled to point out some of the flaws Simmons presents in his interpretation of the book of Revelation.

I might also add, for those who don’t know me, I have never posted anything similar to this. I might have differing opinions with a biblical scholar or teacher, but I’m always reluctant to point those differences out publicly. However, after perusing the dozens of comments on this video, I noted that many were shaken by what Simmons said and most doubted and questioned his interpretations.  

I’ll begin with Simmons’ comments on “antichrist.” He says the word “antichrist” is never used in the book of Revelation, suggesting that there is no “antichrist.” One only has to look at the historical record to see there have been many antichrists. However, there is one man who will be the antichrist—referred to by many names in the Bible other than antichrist, e.g., “son of perdition” and “the man of lawlessness,” just to name two.

Concerning the antichrist, Simmons said the article “the” is never used before the word “antichrist.” The Bible is amazingly consistent. Messiah means “Anointed One,” without the word “the” attached to it. This is especially important when one considers that “anti” also means, according to Merriam-Webster, “the one who is opposed.”

Referencing the number 666, Simmons says in the video, “666 is the number of men,” meaning all men in general. However, Rev 13:18 says, “Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. His number is 666.” (NKJV)


I checked over thirty translations of this verse. Every single translation I checked uses the article “a” before “man.” One translation used the word “person,” but still had the article “a” in front of the noun.

The Bible is clear. A man, an individual, will arise in the latter days and will be the antichrist. Satan does not know God’s timetable, and so the devil has had many men who could have fulfilled that role. Hitler was a prototype, a forerunner of the antichrist spoken of in the book of Revelation.

The word “tribulation” is found throughout Scripture, but its meaning is precise in the book of Revelation in that it refers to a specific time when God’s wrath is poured out on the earth. Reference is made to this time in the book of Joel, referred to as “the day of the Lord.” Not only is it a period of time during Joel’s life, but it presents a pattern of a future time of God’s judgment, the time referred to in the book of Revelation as the tribulation.

While the words “rapture,” “millennium,” “second coming,” and “antichrist” may not be explicitly used in the book of Revelation, as pointed out by Simmons, other words meaning the same thing do appear.

For example, Rev 20:4 refers to the saints reigning with Jesus for a thousand years. One thousand years and millennium both mean one thousand.

Again, I urge the reader, if you watch this video, take the time to examine Simmons’ words and compare them to what God says in His Word. I certainly would not trust Simmons’ interpretation of Scripture in his Passion Translation of the Bible.

Simmons said the tribulation in Scripture never applies to the unbelieving world. It only applies to the “believer.” I have no idea how he could read the book of Revelation and believe what is happening does not apply to the unbelieving earth-dwellers.

The church is no longer on earth when God pours out His wrath. God’s wrath historically has never been poured out on the believers. Think of Sodom and Gomorrah when God delivered Lot and his family from judgment. Think of Noah and how God saved “a righteous man” and his family. To think this man is preaching such heresy is unsettling. He’s fooled a good friend of mine, and I am sure he has deceived many others.

Simmons said, “The judgments of the world are actually against our self-life.” This quote is an inaccurate interpretation of Scripture. Nations will be judged. Remember what Jesus said when He spoke of the sheep and the goats. When Jesus returns, the nations will be judged on how they treated the Jews.

In Matthew 25:31-32, Jesus said: “When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, He will sit on His glorious throne. All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.” (NIV)

The nations who have treated the Jews poorly will not survive into the millennium. Yes, there is a literal millennium when Jesus reigns from Jerusalem. Read Isaiah, the last couple of chapters, where Isaiah speaks about this time of peace for Israel.

It is not surprising that Simmons could not explain the references to the inability to buy or sell if one has the mark of the beast. Scripture clearly shows that the antichrist takes control of the world’s economic system. There is no need to allegorize what is understandable. Again, do not listen to this man’s false teachings.

Also, Simmons’ comments on “the beast” is within us—that is very troubling. I do not have the beast within me. The Holy Spirit resides in me. I am a sinner, saved by the grace of God. I am a new creature in Christ. Nowhere in Scripture is there any doctrine or even a hint or idea that believers are inhabited by a beast. The beast is not the flesh of man, as Simmons says.

Rev 11:7 refers to the beast coming out of the abyss. To draw a parallel to the beast coming out of the abyss to a beast inside of a person indwelt by the Holy Spirit is, in my opinion, demonic.

Simmons asks the question, “How can you blessed if a billion people are going to be slaughtered?” The book of Revelation enumerates seven specific blessings. They are as follows:


Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy and keep those things which are written in it; for the time is near. (Rev 1:3 NKJV)

Then I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, “Write: ‘Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.’” (Rev 14:13 NKJV)

“Behold, I am coming as a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked and they see his shame.”(Rev 16:15 NKJ)

Then he said to me, “Write: ‘Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb!’” And he said to me, “These are the true sayings of God.” (Rev 19:19 NKJV)

Blessed and holy is he who has a part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and Christ and shall reign with Him a thousand years. (Rev 20:6 NKJV)

“Behold, I am coming quickly! Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.” (Rev 22:7 NKJV)

Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may enter through the gates into the city. (Rev 22:14 NKJV)

To ask, how can we be blessed when a billion people are being slaughtered is akin to asking how can we be blessed when Jesus died on the cross. Simmons is making a mockery of salvation. “…blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.” (emphasis mine) Those who die without the Lord will spend eternity in hell. Is it not a sign of God’s grace that He gives every last human a chance to repent, even at this late hour?

Revelation 14:6 states: “Then I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth—to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people”— this is the final witness to the earth-dwellers of God’s love. God literally sends an angel one last time to the unbelievers around the world urging them to “repent and believe in Jesus.”

Simmons says much of the Bible is allegorical. There are many instances where the Bible uses allegory. I love allegory, and I use it in my Seventh Dimension Series. However, some things one should not allegorize. Furthermore, if one does, he better be sure there is not a literal interpretation that fits the meaning of the passage.

In my opinion, Dr. Brian Simmons’ interpretations of Revelation are flawed and gnostic. Stay away from him. Patricia King, the host, seems like a very warm and welcoming person. However, I have to question her judgment to give someone a platform to speak whose interpretation of the book of Revelation is so contrary to the norms of traditional Biblical interpretation which has hallmarked the spirit-filled church for the last two thousand years.

One final comment: I believe, as he mentions in this YouTube video, revival is coming. In some parts of the world, revival is happening as I write. Simmons mentioned Nepal explicitly. My oldest daughter is from Nepal. I adopted her at the age of three and spent two weeks going through the adoption process in-country. I can say while I was in Kathmandu, I felt the extreme darkness of a country worshipping the false gods of Hinduism. I have only felt that kind of oppression twice in my life, and one of those times was while I was in Nepal.

That was over twenty years ago. I went back to Nepal recently and took over three hundred Christian books from John 3:16 Network Authors to help build a church library. 

My younger daughter, Joy, went with me, and we had several opportunities to share our faith and minister to orphans. As Simmons said in this video, the church has exploded in Nepal, and as a result, the government has cracked down on sharing the Gospel.

In this instance, I think what Simmons shared is visionary for what will happen and is happening all over the world. We must seize the moment and occupy wherever we are, sharing our faith boldly—in the workplace, among friends, and sending missionaries to the far reaches of the planet. Whatever God has called you to do, do it well. Don’t wait. Jesus could return at any moment. There is absolutely nothing that must happen first.

2 Thessalonians 2:3 states: “Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition…”

The falling away is coming, and the man of sin will be revealed during that falling away. Today is the time of grace, the church age. The time is ripe for a revival. What are you doing to speed the Lord’s return? If you aren’t doing something, get busy. The lives of millions are at stake. We must reach the unsaved—use your gifts that God has given you lest God comes along and gives them to someone else because you squandered your opportunity to serve Him.



Be busy with the Lord’s work. I urge everyone reading this blog post, please, please, be a Berean. Don’t take my word for it. Don’t take anyone’s word for it. Think about God’s Word. Meditate on it. Deception will be rampant in the last days, and the only way not to be deceived is to know the Scriptures. Be diligent and mindful. Pray. Don’t be lazy! In due time, we will see God face to face. Let us look forward to that day and hasten His return.

MOSES SPOKE OF THE RESURRECTION FROM THE DEAD - ALLUDING TO YESHUA: Devotional by Loirlyn Roberts


See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand. For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live forever...Rejoice, O ye nations, with his people: for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful unto his land, and to his people (Deut 32:39-40; Deut. 32:43).






Have you ever wondered if there was a reference in the Old Testament to the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ?  I came across this passage in Deuteronomy 32:39-40 and 32:43 while researching time reversals in the Bible for Seventh Dimension - The Howling.

www.arkcode.com (no longer available on the web) talks about in Resurrection and Possible Reversal of Time how God reversed the position of the sun by ten degrees in the Bible, which refers to the sundial (steps) of Ahaz. 

Most of the information in this article is way out of my comfort zone as I'm not a mathematician, but the reference to Deuteronomy was enlightening. Even in the Old Testament, God gave hints to a coming resurrection. In verse 43, he alludes to his return as the Messiah, to avenge the blood of his servants, render vengeance on his adversaries, and that he would be merciful unto his land and to his people.

Jesus will not return until the Jews, his chosen, recognize him as their Messiah. As we near the days of the Tribulation, I'm always looking for passages in the Old Testament that are relevant to his return, particularly in the Torah. 

Interestingly, this passage also infers that no one can take away those whom God has called, that Yeshua lifted up his hands on the cross (death) and that his human life was swallowed up in victory (eternal life).

I look forward to the day when one-third of the Jews will come to know Yeshua as their personal Savior (Zech 13:9). Today is the day of Salvation. Don't delay if you haven't accepted Jesus into your heart.

COVER REVEAL: SEVENTH DIMENSION: THE PRESCIENCE: A Young Adult Fantasy, Book 5



The Prescience - A Young Adult Fantasy
Book 5 in the Seventh Dimension Series!

As we near the Lord's return, I hope the witness of The Prescience will strike a nerve in those who have not accepted Yeshua as their Lord and Savior.

Shale and Daniel have returned from the demonic world of The City with plans to marry. When bombs fall on Jerusalem, the young couple rescues an orphan and returns to the first century. There they hope to uncover the truth concerning Daniel's father and the goal of the New World Order - to erase Shale's witness of the Messiah's first coming.

Amid supernatural tribulations, God reveals once again time is an illusion as Daniel races toward an apocalyptic future. A dystopian society ravaged by demons and evil leaders has replaced the world the couple left behind in 2017. Time is short before Armageddon when Daniel learns the pivotal role he plays in the Messiah's triumphant return and victory over the end time's beast and dragon.
