The Book of Yasher (Jasher): Part 3 and 4

 Hi, and thank you for joining me at 144Judah! We are now on "The Book of Yasher" (Jasher). This is an apocryphal text, meaning it was taken out of the bible. This book is included in some versions still today. One of the biggest reasons for doing this: it is referenced in three sections in the bible. Why would they take a book out that has been referenced? Well, we know that they did this also to Enoch, and Enoch is a very important book. I tend to find when "official" people don't include something, it means they don't want us to know what's what. And...me, being me, doesn't like that. So, pull up a chair, and put your thinking cap on. Better yet, put your feeling cap on, and let me know what you feel about this! Any questions? Email me at theawakeningtalk@gmail.com. 


3 ENOCH REIGNS OVER THE EARTH

Enoch Reigns over the Earth. Enoch Establishes Righteousness upon the Earth, and after Reigning Two Hundred and Forty Years is Translated

1 And Enoch lived sixty-five years and he begat Methuselah; and Enoch walked with YAHWEH after having begot Methuselah, and he served YAHWEH, and despised the evil ways of men.

2 And the soul of Enoch was wrapped up in the instruction of YAHWEH, in knowledge and in understanding; and he wisely retired from the sons of men, and secreted himself from them for many days.

3 And it was at the expiration of many years, while he was serving YAHWEH, and praying before him in his house, that an heavenly messenger of YAHWEH called to him from Heaven, and he said, Here am I.

4 And he said, Rise, go forth from your house and from the place where you did hide thyself, and appear to the sons of men, in order that you may teach them the way in which they should go and the work which they must accomplish to enter in the ways of YAHWEH.

5 And Enoch rose up according to the word of YAHWEH, and went forth from his house, from his place and from the chamber in which he was concealed; and he went to the sons of men and taught them the ways of YAHWEH, and at that time assembled the sons of men and acquainted them with the instruction of YAHWEH.

6 And he ordered it to be proclaimed in all places where the sons of men dwelt, saying, Where is the man who wishes to know the ways of YAHWEH and good works? let him come to Enoch.

7 And all the sons of men then assembled to him, for all who desired this thing went to Enoch, and Enoch reigned over the sons of men according to the word of YAHWEH, and they came and bowed to him and they heard his word.

8 And the spirit of YAHWEH was upon Enoch, and he taught all his men the wisdom of YAHWEH and his ways, and the sons of men served YAHWEH all the days of Enoch, and they came to hear his wisdom.

9 And all the kings of the sons of men, both first and last, together with their princes and judges, came to Enoch when they heard of his wisdom, and they bowed down to him, and they also required of Enoch to reign over them, to which he consented.

10 And they assembled in all, one hundred and thirty kings and princes, and they made Enoch king over them and they were all under his power and command.

11 And Enoch taught them wisdom, knowledge, and the ways of YAHWEH; and he made peace among them, and peace was throughout the earth during the life of Enoch.

12 And Enoch reigned over the sons of men two hundred and forty-three years, and he did justice and righteousness with all his people, and he led them in the ways of YAHWEH. (None of this is in the bible at all. We know very little of Enoch, other than God took him. This is exciting--to get more information! I will also do a complete study of Enoch. I can't wait to talk all about him.)

13 And these are the generations of Enoch, Methuselah, Elisha, and Elimelech, three sons; and their sisters were Melca and Nahmah, and Methuselah lived eighty-seven years and he begat Lamech.

14 And it was in the fifty-sixth year of the life of Lamech when Adam died; nine hundred and thirty years old was he at his death, and his two sons, with Enoch and Methuselah his son, buried him with great pomp, as at the burial of kings, in the cave which YAHWEH had told him. (This is different from The Adam and Eve stories. They didn't mention Enoch with them at all. It was Seth that buried Adam along with Eve, and then Eve was buried after the morning period.)

15 And in that place all the sons of men made a great mourning and weeping on account of Adam; it has therefore become a custom among the sons of men to this day.

16 And Adam died because he ate of the tree of knowledge; he and his children after him, as YAHWEH the Elohim had spoken.

17 And it was in the year of Adam's death which was the two hundred and forty-third year of the reign of Enoch, in that time Enoch resolved to separate himself from the sons of men and to secret himself as at first in order to serve YAHWEH.

18 And Enoch did so, but did not entirely secret himself from them, but kept away from the sons of men three days and then went to them for one day.

19 And during the three days that he was in his chamber, he prayed to, and praised YAHWEH his Elohim, and the day on which he went and appeared to his subjects he taught them the ways of YAHWEH, and all they asked him about YAHWEH he told them.

20 And he did in this manner for many years, and he afterward concealed himself for six days, and appeared to his people one day in seven; and after that once in a month, and then once in a year, until all the kings, princes and sons of men sought for him, and desired again to see the face of Enoch, and to hear his word; but they could not, as all the sons of men were greatly afraid of Enoch, and they feared to approach him on account of the magnificent light and awe that was seated upon his countenance; therefore no man could look at him, fearing he might be punished and die. (Super interesting. Nothing like this exists in the bible.)

21 And all the kings and princes resolved to assemble the sons of men, and to come to Enoch, thinking that they might all speak to him at the time when he should come forth among them, and they did so.

22 And the day came when Enoch went forth and they all assembled and came to him, and Enoch spoke to them the words of YAHWEH and he taught them wisdom and knowledge, and they bowed down before him and they said, May the king live! May the king live!

23 And in some time after, when the kings and princes and the sons of men were speaking to Enoch, and Enoch was teaching them the ways of YAHWEH, behold an heavenly messenger of YAHWEH then called unto Enoch from heaven, and wished to bring him up to heaven to make him reign there over the sons of YAHWEH, as he had reigned over the sons of men upon earth. (Okay, this sounds more like The Book of Enoch here. He was summoned, and then we don't really know where. There is a succession of Heaven, and in Genesis it says "And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him." Genesis 5:24 Notice though that it doesn't say Heaven. And in another book "Lost scripture" it says that Enoch went into the Garden of Eden, where he still is today.)

24 When at that time Enoch heard this he went and assembled all the inhabitants of the earth, and taught them wisdom and knowledge and gave them divine instructions, and he said to them, I have been required to ascend into heaven, I therefore do not know the day of my going.

25 And now therefore I will teach you wisdom and knowledge and will give you instruction before I leave you, how to act upon earth whereby you may live; and he did so.

26 And he taught them wisdom and knowledge, and gave them instruction, and he reproved them, and he placed before them statutes and judgments to do upon earth, and he made peace among them, and he taught them everlasting life (Hmmm... What does this mean?), and dwelt with them some time teaching them all these things.

27 And at that time the sons of men were with Enoch, and Enoch was speaking to them, and they lifted up their eyes and the likeness of a great horse descended from heaven, and the horse paced in the air; (Well this is bizarre... Of course, when you see this you think of Revelation and Jesus.)

28 And they told Enoch what they had seen, and Enoch said to them, On my account does this horse descend upon earth; the time is come when I must go from you and I shall no more be seen by you.

29 And the horse descended at that time and stood before Enoch, and all the sons of men that were with Enoch saw him.

30 And Enoch then again ordered a voice to be proclaimed, saying, Where is the man who delights to know the ways of YAHWEH his Elohim, let him come this day to Enoch before he is taken from us.

31 And all the sons of men assembled and came to Enoch that day; and all the kings of the earth with their princes and counsellors remained with him that day; and Enoch then taught the sons of men wisdom and knowledge, and gave them divine instruction; and he bade them serve YAHWEH and walk in his ways all the days of their lives, and he continued to make peace among them.

32 And it was after this that he rose up and rode upon the horse; and he went forth and all the sons of men went after him, about eight hundred thousand men; and they went with him one day's journey.

33 And the second day he said to them, Return home to your tents, why will you go? perhaps you may die; and some of them went from him, and those that remained went with him six day's journey; and Enoch said to them every day, Return to your tents, lest you may die; but they were not willing to return, and they went with him.

34 And on the sixth day some of the men remained and clung to him, and they said to him, We will go with you to the place where you go; as YAHWEH lives, death only shall separate us.

35 And they urged so much to go with him, that he ceased speaking to them; and they went after him and would not return;

36 And when the kings returned they caused a census to be taken, in order to know the number of remaining men that went with Enoch; and it was upon the seventh day that Enoch ascended into heaven in a whirlwind, with horses and chariots of fire. (This reminds me of Elijah and also of Ezekiel)

37 And on the eighth day all the kings that had been with Enoch sent to bring back the number of men that were with Enoch, in that place from which he ascended into heaven.

38 And all those kings went to the place and they found the earth there filled with snow, and upon the snow were large stones of snow, and one said to the other, Come, let us break through the snow and see, perhaps the men that remained with Enoch are dead, and are now under the stones of snow, and they searched but could not find him, for he had ascended into heaven. (This is the second weather phenomenon next to the water that was rising up. We never hear of snow.)


4 PEOPLE BECOME CORRUPT AGAIN

The People of the Earth Again Become Corrupt. Noah is Born

1 And all the days that Enoch lived upon earth, were three hundred and sixty-five years.

2 And when Enoch had ascended into heaven, all the kings of the earth rose and took Methuselah his son and anointed him, and they caused him to reign over them in the place of his father.

3 And Methuselah acted uprightly in the sight of YAHWEH, as his father Enoch had taught him, and he likewise during the whole of his life taught the sons of men wisdom, knowledge and the fear of YAHWEH, and he did not turn from the good way either to the right or to the left.

4 But in the latter days of Methuselah, the sons of men turned from YAHWEH, they corrupted the earth, they robbed and plundered each other, and they rebelled against YAHWEH and they transgressed, and they corrupted their ways, and would not hearken to the voice of Methuselah, but rebelled against him.

5 And YAHWEH was exceedingly wroth against them, and YAHWEH continued to destroy the seed in those days, so that there was neither sowing nor reaping in the earth.

6 For when they sowed the ground in order that they might obtain food for their support, behold, thorns and thistles were produced which they did not sow.

7 And still the sons of men did not turn from their evil ways, and their hands were still extended to do evil in the sight of YAHWEH, and they provoked YAHWEH with their evil ways, and YAHWEH was very wroth, and repented that he had made man.

8 And he thought to destroy and annihilate them and he did so.

9 In those days when Lamech the son of Methuselah was one hundred and sixty years old, Seth the son of Adam died.

10 And all the days that Seth lived, were nine hundred and twelve years, and he died.

11 And Lamech was one hundred and eighty years old when he took Ashmua, the daughter of Elisha the son of Enoch his uncle, and she conceived. (I don't ever remember hearing or reading this name before. Just checked and it wasn't in Genesis, and I went back to The Book of Jubilees, and it is Betnos, which is also another name for Ashmua)

12 And at that time the sons of men sowed the ground, and a little food was produced, yet the sons of men did not turn from their evil ways, and they trespassed and rebelled against YAHWEH.

13 And the wife of Lamech conceived and bare him a son at that time, at the revolution of the year.

14 And Methuselah called his name Noah, saying, The earth was in his days at rest and free from corruption, and Lamech his father called his name Menachem, saying, This one shall comfort us in our works and miserable toil in the earth, which YAHWEH had cursed.

15 And the child grew up and was weaned, and he went in the ways of his father Methuselah, perfect and upright with YAHWEH.

16 And all the sons of men departed from the ways of YAHWEH in those days as they multiplied upon the face of the earth with sons and daughters, and they taught one another their evil practices and they continued sinning against YAHWEH.

17 And every man made unto himself a god, and they robbed and plundered every man his neighbor as well as his relative, and they corrupted the earth, and the earth was filled with violence.

18 And their judges and rulers (The watchers/fallen angels) went to the daughters of men and took their wives by force from their husbands according to their choice, and the sons of men in those days took from the cattle of the earth, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the air, and taught the mixture of animals of one species with the other, in order therewith to provoke YAHWEH; and YAHWEH saw the whole earth and it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted its ways upon earth, all men and all animals.

19 And YAHWEH said, I will blot out man that I created from the face of the earth, yea from man to the birds of the air, together with cattle and beasts that are in the field for I repent that I made them.

20 And all men who walked in the ways of YAHWEH, died in those days, before YAHWEH brought the evil upon man which he had declared, for this was from YAHWEH, that they should not see the evil which YAHWEH spoke of concerning the sons of men. (This all fits with Revelation how it says "God's people" are not appointed for wrath.)

21 And Noah found free unmerited love and favour in the sight of YAHWEH, and YAHWEH chose him and his children to raise up seed from them upon the face of the whole earth. 


This is all pretty close to what it says in Genesis, with exception for Enoch's story. I guess if I were a person that was evil and didn't want people to know who was tricking them and how they came to be and where they were now located, I would take that information out, too. The Book of Enoch is a book that everyone should read and understand. This book deals with the Fallen Angels, and it tells us where they are now located, and where their spirits are. This book, The Book of Yasher, seems to be giving us some of the back story that we need to fit in with our knowledge of Genesis. This is like The Book of Jubilees, as far as how it fits in-between the cracks. What do you think so far? Any questions? Email us at: theawakeningtalk@gmail.com

Spiritual Warfare and Praying! ARM YOURSELF!

 Hi, and thank you for joining me at 144Judah! Today's blog is all about the POWER of prayer! I wanted to write this one because it is so important for you to know these prayers. To gather up a prayer arsenal! So, when you have a chance in the next several days - starting today-- don't delay! Remember these prayers, get them ingrained into your consciousness. 



Psalm 23

1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever. 

Psalm 91

1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. 3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. 4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. 5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; 6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. 7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. 8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. 9 Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; 10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. 11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. 12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. 13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. 14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. 15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. 16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation. 

Matthew 6:9-15

9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. 14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: 15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. 

James 4:7-8

7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw night to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. 

Ephesians 6:10-19



10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication for all saints; 19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel.

It's in the Bible... (Part Two - The END OF TIME)

 Hi, and thank you for reading my blog at 144Judah! As always, I give All Praises to The Most High God!  Continuing on from our last post, we are going to rewind, so to speak, and start where I mentioned Famine. 

Sign 3: Famine

The next sign listed in Matthew 24:7 is “there will be famines.”

These famines are described in Revelation 6:5-6:

And when He opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, “Come!” And look! A black horse! And he who sat on it had a balance in his hand. I heard a voice in between the four living creatures saying, “A liter of wheat for a denarius, and three liters of barley for a denarius! But don’t damage the oil and the wine!”

When John saw this vision, a denarius was the wage for about one day of work (Matthew 20:2). The major wars of the second seal will quickly lead to widespread inflation, famine, and many people starving.


(We have had a lot of famine over the years. Prices have risen higher and higher, and in today's age, we are seeing them go even higher. I believe that it is only going to get worse. Inflation has been going out the roof.  Gas has climbed significantly in the last year, and now that the war is in Israel, I believe that we are going to be hit again. 

From: Global hunger crisis: Famine closes in | World Vision

The world faces one of the most cruel and devastating crises of our time: Hunger.

Soaring food prices driven by the war in Ukraine, persistent drought and other extreme weather events, and the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic have escalated extreme hunger worldwide.

Today, nearly 45 million people in 37 countries are at risk of starvation. Due to a lack of adequate nutrition, 22 million children are suffering from wasting — severe weight loss that can lead to death if not treated. This number is equal to the combined populations of New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Phoenix, and Philadelphia.

A humanitarian catastrophe is unfolding in the Horn of Africa: Across Ethiopia, Kenya, and Somalia, nearly 4.9 million girls and boys are acutely malnourished in drought-affected areas and need urgent care.

When the children are hungry, they will start crying, asking for food and will not stop.—Hawa, a mother in Somalia

In Somalia alone, about 6.7 million people will likely face acute food insecurity, and experts predict famine in two districts, Baidoa and Burhakaba — where at least 300,000 people are already living with “catastrophic” levels of food insecurity.

More go hungry, and malnutrition persists

Hunger has exacted a heavy toll on women and children in Baidoa. According to a doctor at Bay Regional Hospital, which offers free medical care to Somalis experiencing severe malnutrition, one to two children are dying daily. Children who recover from malnutrition continue to receive outpatient services, including through World Vision–supported therapeutic clinics and mobile health and nutrition outreach programs.

“When the children are hungry, they will start crying, asking for food and will not stop. When I have water, I give [it to] them to stop crying but it will be … a moment before they start again, demanding for food,” says Hawa, a 30-year-old mother living in an internal displacement camp in Baidoa.

Almighty God, You are our sustainer, especially in the most challenging times. We pray for You to give the hungry their daily bread (Matthew 6:11) and end their persistent hunger. We ask You to restore health, well-being, and livelihoods. We know no emergency or crisis is too much for You to relieve. 

 From USAFacts.org

More than half a million people experienced homelessness in America last year. The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) counted around 582,000 Americans experiencing homelessness in 2022. That’s about 18 per 10,000 people in the US, up about 2,000 people from 2020.

Did you know that the Pacific Islanders and Native Hawaiians face the biggest Homelessness in America? 

Who is homeless in America?

Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islanders are 1.8% of the homeless population despite being just 0.26% of the US population. They have the nation’s highest rate of homelessness at 121 per 10,000 people.

native-hawaiians-and-pacific-islanders-have-the-highest-rate-of-homelessness-in-the-us. (2)

Twenty-four percent of all homeless people identify as Hispanic. This is higher than the national proportion of the Hispanic population: 19%.

One reason Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islanders have such high rates of homelessness could be because of Hawaii’s lack of affordable housing. Many native Hawaiians are also on wait lists for homeland leases.

Veterans also experience homelessness at a slightly higher rate than the overall population. Twenty out of every 10,000 veterans are homeless, compared to the nation’s overall rate of 18 per 10,000.

It is now even worse in America with the border being in near shambles. We don't have room for our own people and now we are taking on an even bigger problem. 

What does this have to do with food? We have too many people coming through, our country is printing money with nothing to back it up, and the drugs and child trafficking that is coming through is at an all-time high. We have powerful people buying the US farmland and not farming. We have government regulations on everything...food, energy, big pharma. And now, Biden, "the resident", is talking about getting rid of gas stoves. The prices are going up everywhere, the pipelines have been shut down. Trucks were shut down for a while last year, and the production/people working is at a major low. PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO WORK ANYMORE. 

People are starting to wake up to the fact that they have been slaves. 

Does this sound familiar? Could it be that the Israel that God talks about in the Bible isn't in fact a state, but a people? YES. It is in the Bible, after all. He also talks about the people that say they are Jews but are not and are nothing but the SYNAGOGUE OF SATAN. 

COULD THIS BE OUR VERY OWN EXODUS? GET OUT OF HER! GET OUT OF BABYLON! 

What does that mean? 

Get out of her? 

Get out of Babylon?

IT means get out of the world. Get out of the false doctrines. Where your heart is there lies your treasure...

Matthew 6:20-25

"But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!

No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. 

Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

Yet, another clue that we are indeed in the end times... the birthing pains are getting bigger. 


In other words, if you have an eye toward The Most High God, you won't be in darkness. You won't fear. If your treasure lies in money, fame and fortune, you aren't looking toward what really matters. GOD. That doesn't mean you won't have anything; it just means that you won't place those things above God. No idols, remember? That includes people... even your husbands, wives and kids... Nobody or anything in life is more important than God. 

GOD, HUSBAND/WIFE, then kids. Concentric Circles of importance. 

From Rapture Forums...

In a vision, God revealed to Daniel that in “the time of the end,” travel and knowledge will increase: “But you, Daniel, keep this prophecy a secret; seal up the book until the time of the end. Many will rush here and there, and knowledge will increase.” Daniel 12:4 (NLT)


According to the book of Daniel, two things will increase in “the time of the end” – travel and knowledge.

Is this the case now?


At the time the Book of Daniel was written, horses were the world’s the fastest mode of transportation.


In fact, horses remained the world’s fastest mode of transportation for over 2,000 years until the Industrial Revolution spawned such innovations as the steamboat, the locomotive, and the horseless carriage.

Prior to the 20th Century, most people rarely traveled more than 30 miles from where they were born. Today, people routinely travel from one continent to another within the same day. My own family has traveled across the United States in a week during our roadtrip in 2021. It was nothing to drive a 15 hour drive and have fun along the way. 

Today’s world is definitely not “the way it’s always been.”

Frequency and speed of travel have markedly increased!   

WHO GAVE US THIS TECHNOLOGY?

What about knowledge?

In Daniel’s time, few people received a formal education. In fact, basic literacy was a foreign concept to all but an elite minority of the world until the past 100 to 150 years.

Yet, in the past century alone, human knowledge of science, biology, technology, and countless fields of endeavor has exploded. And the advent of the Internet has created a worldwide archive of human knowledge that far exceeds even the wildest dreams of the great ancient civilizations.

WHO GAVE US THIS KNOWLEDGE?

Is humanity’s knowledge base today “the same as previous generations?”

Absolutely not. Human knowledge has also markedly increased.

Given that all this can be ascertained from mere observation, how can anyone say with a straight face that “things today are the same as they’ve always been?”

 

Not only do we have the internet, but we have virtual reality games, cell phones and computers that keep getting smaller and smaller. Video game systems. We went from barely any phones in the 90s to an explosion in the 2000s. We went from a gigantic box computer, and even not long before that a computer that was as big as a room, to your phone being the fastest computer--something that can be held in the palm of your hand.  In a few seconds you can get hard to answer questions from your phone, Alexa or Google without breaking a sweat. 


And here I thought dictionaries and encyclopedias were pretty cool to have back in high school. My kids have never had to use an actual map, a phone book or an encyclopedia. EVERYTHING is at our fingertips!


WHAT TIME ARE WE IN? ARE WE IN THE SECOND COMING OR ARE WE IN THE LITTLE SEASON?


From the clear truth.com

Disease and Death

Revelation 6:7-8 says: "And when He opened the fourth seal, I heard the fourth living creature saying, “Come!” And I looked and look! A sickly-green horse! And the one who sat on it, his name is Death, and the grave follows with him. And authority was given to him over one-fourth of the earth, to kill with the sword, and with famine, and with death, and by the wild animals of the earth."

War and famine will lead to widespread disease. Packs of wild animals, including former pets, will roam the streets looking for food (this is also mentioned in Leviticus 26:22). Earthquakes will add to the death toll.

The compounding effects of the first four signs will cause one-quarter of humanity to die. When you see 25% of the world population die, you will know that the fourth sign has been fulfilled.

Matthew 24:8 says, “But all these things are the beginning of birth pains.”
The True Gospel Will Be Preached and Suppressed

Next, Jesus explained what would happen to His followers: "At that time they will hand you over to oppression, and will kill you. And you will be hated by all the nations because of My name." (Matthew 24:9)

This sign will actually occur in parallel with the first four signs.
This is explained in Luke 21:12: 

"But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and will persecute you,
delivering you up to synagogues and prisons,
bringing you before kings and governors for My name’s sake."

As a false Christianity rises in power, it will seek to suppress true Christianity.
True Christians will be thrown in prison and brought before leaders to be judged.
This will be an opportunity for them to preach to world leaders as a witness (Luke 21:13-15).

This will be a time of sifting among the followers of Christ. Some will hold on to their beliefs and boldly proclaim the truth. Others will abandon their faith and betray their friends and relatives (Matthew 24:10-13).

During this time, the true followers of Jesus Christ will finish preaching the true Gospel to the whole world. Jesus told His followers, “Go into all the world, and preach the Good News to all the creation” (Mark 16:15). Matthew 24:14 says, “And this good news of the Kingdom will be proclaimed in the whole world for a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.”

So look for those who preach the real Good News to the whole world. Look for those who are “hated by all nations” when they do not follow the false Christianity that will be popular at the end of the age. Those will be the real followers of Christ—a group you might want to be a part of.

Evangelist, other Christians in Uganda Assaulted

NAIROBIKenya (Morning Star News) – Hard-line Muslims at an open-air evangelistic event in eastern Uganda on Aug. 11 assaulted a preacher and more than 20 other Christians for his teaching about Christ’s divinity, sources said.

Robert Faisali Miya, a 34-year-old father of four, was also struck with a thorny object and stomped on during the event in Busolwe, 236 kilometers (147 miles) northeast of Kampala, an eyewitness said.

On the third day of a five-day event planned by an undisclosed church from another town, Miya cited passages from the Koran as examples that acknowledge the uniqueness of Christ, and said the Bible affirms His uniqueness as the Son of God who grants forgiveness by virtue of His death and resurrection.

Muslims began chanting the jihadist slogan, “Allah Akbar [God is greater],” and a Muslim leader known in the area to be hard-line sheikh, Hiisa Mubaraka, rushed to the podium and pulled the evangelist down, said the eyewitness.

Christian Evangelists Attacked for Preaching to Muslims in Uganda

Both sustain knife wounds.

NAIROBIKenya (Morning Star News) – Two evangelists in eastern Uganda were beaten and slashed with knives after leading several Muslims to Christ, sources said.


And that is just a tiny bit... Christians are being persecuted all over the globe. The news site where I got this information above has a ton of listings just like this.

The Lost Scriptures: The Gospel of the Nazareans

 Hi, everyone, and welcome to 144 Judah!  Today's blog is about The Gospel of the Nazareans. This Gospel was thought to be the Aramaic translation of The Gospel of Matthew, or rather The Original Translation based on oral traditions about Jesus that were in wide circulation at the time. This, according to ancient sources, was produced by Jewish Christians known as the Nazareans, because they wanted to emphasize the Jewishness of Jesus. This was originally translated into Aramaic as well (Jesus's language). 

Years later, it was basically taken out because hardly anyone could read "Aramaic" and so the script became "lost"... How convenient... 

It also didn't include the first two chapters of Matthew's Gospel, which record the miraculous birth of Jesus being born of a virgin. This, according to many Jewish Christians, records that Jesus was a natural human being who specifically was chosen to be the Messiah because God considered him to be more righteous than anyone else. 

Matthew is also the only gospel that has the story of Jesus's birth and the virgin mother. Many people believe that the story of Jesus's birth was added because the Jews didn't believe that Jesus was the Messiah, so they think that he (Matthew) added this part so the prophecy would be fulfilled in the Jews' eyes. 

So, what really happened? 

Jesus was born from a virgin mother, but the Jews didn't believe that he was the Messiah, even though all of the signs were there. 

The bible says to not add or take away from the words in the book and if you do God will blot out your name in the book of life. 

I believe the KJV to be the true WORD of God.

I also know that the word "Virgin" doesn't always mean the definition of what we think it is. 

In Revelation, the word "Virgin" means not defiled with religious doctrine. But I also know that the living blood of the Messiah was found and tested!
