The Three Literal Days in the Heart of the Earth and the Lord's Day (Sunday) Resurrection

This is a subject that I confess I hadn't studied in any great depth before, as much as more so-called 'important' topics in God's Book, beginning (as none would dispute!) with salvation. It is enough to know (and believe!) that "He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures." 1 Corinthians 15:4; be these partial or full days. There are biblical arguments for "both sides of the fence" as it were, but as for me, I am now fully persuaded that our Lord and Saviour spent a full literal three days and three nights in the heart of the earth, as Matthew 12:40 avers.

If you would refer to my last post on this subject, I copied this from a book I purchased (for the miserly sum of 10p!) last month from a charity shop on the Western Isles where I live. I read it once, then twice, then thrice, checked out all the Bible verses quoted therein, and copied it letter and word by my fingertips on this ere blog to make sure I had fully understood its import before posting it. I hand sketched the crude diagram on my last post so to graphically understand it, not just for my own benefit, but for any whom God would send to this blog of mine.

Notwithstanding the above, regarding "The Lord's Day" (the first day of the week, or now the eighth or Resurrection Day), the Christian Sabbath is now on the day we call by the (pagan) name Sunday. There are many who would have us falsely believe that it was Constantine in AD 321 who instituted the Sunday Sabbath, when all this man did (for his own ends...) was institute what was plainly written in the Scriptures. The written word plainly declares that:

Upon the first day of the week (pagan Sunday!) when the disciples came together to break bread... Acts 20:7.

Upon the first day of the week (pagan Sunday!) let every one of you lay by him in store...1 Corinthians 16:2.

Did these Christian Jews dishonour the Jewish Sabbath day? Or Is the resurrected Lord; the Son of man Lord of the sabbath day or no? And He said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath. Mark 2:27-28. Today, the unbelieving (religious) Jews continue to observe the seventh (non resurrection-day) Saturday sabbath, confused Messianic Jews do the same; so what day is the Christian sabbath? 

John wrote I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, Revelation 1:10. What day? His resurrection day.

Mark wrote Now when Jesus was risen early the first day (Sunday) of the week.. Mark 16:9.

The so-called long ending in Mark's Gospel (16:9-20) in the Authorized Version (Textus Receptus, the Received Text) has been removed (or bracketed with variations) from many modern Bible versions. Although missing in the Vatican and Sinai manuscripts, it is found in almost every Greek manuscript which contains Mark's Gospel. In addition it is quoted by Church Fathers including Irenaeus and Hippolytus in the second and third centuries (thus predating the two 'old' manuscripts, Vatican and Sinai).

Gentile Christians have long honoured the first day of the week as the Christian sabbath, traditionally, and rightly so.

Was Jesus Really Three Days and Three Nights in the Heart of the Earth?

Was Jesus Really Three Days and Three Nights in the Heart of the Earth?

Lifted from pages 33-39 of FALSE VIEWS BY MODERN MAN by Ian R.K. Paisley.

MATTHEW 27:62

The A.V. reads:-

"Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate."

The T.E.V.* reads:-

"On the next day-that is, the day following Friday - the chief priests and the Pharisees met with Pilate."

Once again the Romish error that Christ was put to death on Friday is written into the text. This, of course, is without any textual warrant whatsoever.

The following statement from the able pen of the late Dr. R.A. Torrey should be studied in this connection:-

WAS JESUS REALLY THREE DAYS AND THREE NIGHTS IN THE HEART OF THE EARTH?

By Dr. R.A. Torrey.

Matthew, in the twelfth chapter of his Gospel and the fortieth verse, reports Jesus as saying: "As Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the whale ("sea monster", R.V. margin), so shall the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth." According to the commonly accepted tradition of the Church, Jesus was crucified on Friday, dying at 3 p.m., or somewhere between 3 p.m. and sundown, and was raised from the dead very early in the morning of the following Sunday. Many readers of the Bible are puzzled to know how the interval between late Friday afternoon and early Sunday morning can be figured out to be three days and three nights. It seems rather to be two nights, one day and a very small portion of another day.

The solution of this apparent difficulty proposed by many commentators is that "a day and a night" is simply another way of saying "a day", and that the ancient Jews reckoned a fraction of a day as a whole day, so they say there was a part of Friday (or a very small part), or a day and a night; all of Saturday, another day, or a day and a night; part of Sunday (a very small part), another day, or a day and a night.

There are many persons whom this solution does not altogether satisfy, and the writer is free to confess it does not satisfy him at all. It seems to him to be a makeshift, and a very weak makeshift.

Is there any solution that is altogether satisfactory?

There is.

First Fact.

The first fact to be noticed in the proper solution is that the Bible nowhere says or implies that Jesus was crucified and died on Friday. It is said that Jesus was crucified on "the day before the sabbath" (Mark 15:42). As the Jewish weekly sabbath came on Saturday, beginning at sunset the evening before, the conclusion is naturally drawn that as Jesus was crucified the day before the sabbath He must have been crucified on Friday. But it is a well-known fact, to which the Bible bears abundant testimony, that the Jews had other sabbaths beside the weekly sabbath which fell on Saturday. The first day of the Passover week, no matter upon what day of the week it came, was always a sabbath (Exodus 12:16; Leviticus 23:7; Numbers 28:16-18). The question therefore arises whether the Sabbath that followed Christ's crucifixion was the weekly sabbath (Saturday) or the Passover sabbath, falling on the 15th of Nisan, which came that year on Thursday. Now the Bible does not leave us to speculate in regard to which sabbath is meant in this instance, for John tells us in so many words, in John 19:14, that the day on which Jesus was tried and crucified was "the preparation of the Passover" (R.V.), that is, it was not the day before the weekly sabbath (Friday), but it was the day before the Passover sabbath, which came that year on Thursday. That is to say, the day on which Jesus Christ was crucified was

Wednesday.

John makes this as clear as day.

The Gospel of John was written later than the other Gospels, and scholars have for a long time noticed that in various places there was an evident intention to correct false impressions one might get from reading the other Gospels. One of these false impressions was that Jesus eat the Passover with His disciples at the regular time of the Passover. To correct this false impression John clearly states that He eat it the evening before, and that He Himself died on the cross at the very moment the Passover lambs were being slain "between the two evenings" on the 14th Nisan (Exodus 12:6, Hebrew and R.V. margin). God's real Pascal Lamb, Jesus, of whom all other Pascal lambs offered through the centuries were only types, was therefore slain at the very time appointed of God.

Everything about the Passover lamb was

Fulfilled in Jesus

(1) He was a lamb without blemish and without spot (Exodus 12:5). (2) He was chosen on the 10th day of Nisan (Exodus 12:3), for it was on the tenth day of the month, the preceding Saturday, that the triumphal entry into Jerusalem was made, since they came from Jericho to Bethany six days before the Passover (John 12:1-that would be six days before Thursday, which would be Friday),and it was on the next day that the entry into Jerusalem was made (John 12:12 and following verses) that is, on Saturday, the 10th Nisan. It was also on this same day that Judas went to the chief priests and offered to betray Jesus for thirty pieces of silver (Matthew 26:6-16; Mark 14:3-11). As it was after the supper in the house of Simon the leper, and as the super occurred late on Friday, that is after sunset, or early on Saturday, after the super would necessarily be on the 10th Nisan. This being the price set on Him by the chief priests, it was the buying or taking to them of a lamb which according to law must occur on the 10th Nisan. Furthermore, they put the exact value on the lamb that Old Testament prophecy predicted (Matthew 26:15, compare Zechariah 11:12). (3) Not a bone of Him was broken when He was killed (John 19:36, compare Exodus 12:46; Numbers 9:12; Psalm 34:20). (4) And He was killed on the 14th Nisan between the evenings, just before the beginning of the 15th Nisan at sundown (Exodus 12:6, R.V. margin).

If we take just exactly what the Bible says, viz., that Jesus was slain before the Passover sabbath, the type is marvellously fulfilled in every detail, but if we accept the traditional theory that Jesus was crucified on Friday, the type fails on many points.

Traditional View

Furthermore, if we accept the traditional view that Jesus was crucified on Friday and ate the Passover on the regular day of the Passover, then the journey from Jericho to Bethany, which occurred six days before the Passover (John 12:1) would fall on a Saturday, that is, the Jewish sabbath. Such a journey would be contrary to the Jewish law. Of course it was impossible for Jesus to take such a journey on the Jewish sabbath. In reality His triumphal entry into Jerusalem was on the Jewish sabbath, Saturday. This was altogether possible for the Bible elsewhere tells us that Bethany was a sabbath day's journey from Jerusalem (Acts 1:12; compare Luke 24:50).

Furthermore, it has been figured out by the astronomers that in the year 30 A.D., which is the commonly accepted year of the crucifixion of our Lord, the Passover was kept on Thursday, April 6th, the moon being full that day. The chronologists who have supposed that the crucifixion took place on Friday have been greatly perplexed by this fact that in the year30 A.D., the Passover occurred on Thursday. One writer in seeking a solution to the difficulty suggests that the crucifixion may have been in the year 33 A.D., for although the full moon was on a Thursday that year also, yet as it was within two and a half hours of Friday, he thinks that perhaps the Jews may have kept it that day. But when we accept exactly what the Bible says, namely, that Jesus was not crucified on the Passover day but on "the preparation of the Passover", and that He was to be three days and three nights in the grave, and as "the preparation of the Passover" that year would be Wednesday and His resurrection early on the first day of the week, this allows exactly three days and three nights in the grave.

To sum it all up,

Jesus Died about Sunset on Wednesday.

Seventy-two hours later, exactly three days and three nights, at the beginning of the first day of the week (Saturday at sunset), He arose again from the grave. When the women visited the tomb just before dawn next morning, they found the grave already empty. So we are not driven to any such makeshift as that any small portion of the day is reckoned as a whole day and night, but we find that the statement of Jesus was literally true. Three days and three nights His body was dead and lay in the sepulcher. While His body lay dead, He Himself being quickened in the spirit (1 Peter 3:18) went into the heart of the earth and preached unto the spirits which were in prison (1 Peter 3:19). 

This supposed difficulty solves itself, as do so many other difficulties in the Bible as meaning exactly what it says.

It is sometimes objected against the view here advanced that the two on the way to Emmaus early on the first day of the week (that is, Sunday) said to Jesus in speaking of the crucifixion and events accompanying it: "Besides all this, today is the third day since these things were done" (Luke 24:21), and it is said that if the crucifixion took place on Wednesday, Sunday would be the fourth day since these things were done. But the answer is very simple. These things were done just as Thursday was beginning at sunset on Wednesday. They were therefore completed on Thursday, and the first day since Thursday would be Friday, the second day since Thursday would be Saturday, and "the third day since" Thursday would be Sunday, the first day of the week. So the supposed objection in reality supports the theory. On the other hand, if the crucifixion took place on Friday, by no manner of reckoning could Sunday be made "the third day since" these things were done.

There are

Many Passages in Scripture

that support the theory advanced above and make it necessary to believe that Jesus died late on Wednesday. Some of them are as follows: "For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the whale's belly, so shall the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth" (Matthew 12:40). "This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God and to build it in three days" (Matthew 26:61). Thou that destroyest  the temple and buildest it in three days, save Thyself" (Matthew 27:40). "Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while He was yet alive, After three days I will rise again" (Matthew 27:63). "The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be killed and after three days rise again" (Mark 8:31). "They shall kill Him, and when He is killed, after three days He shall rise again" (Mark 9:13, R.V.). "They shall scourge Him, and shall kill Him, and after three days He shall rise again" (Mark 10:34, R.V.). "Destroy this temple that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another made without hands" (Mark 14:58, R.V.). "Ah, Thou that destroyest the temple and buildest it in three days, save Thyself" (Mark 15:29). "Besides all this, today is the third day since these things were done." (Luke 24:21). "Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt Thou raise it up in three days? But He spake of the temple of His body. When therefore He was risen from the dead, His disciples remembered that He had said this, and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had said" (John 2:19-22).

There is absolutely nothing in favour of Friday crucifixion, but everything in the Scripture is perfectly harmonized by Wednesday crucifixion. It is remarkable how many prophetical and typical passages of the Old Testament are fulfilled and how many seeming discrepancies in the Gospel narratives are straightened out when we once come to understand that Jesus died on Wednesday and not on Friday.

The T,E.V.* is however, prepared to write into the New Testament the Good Friday Romish tradition, although by so doing it makes the Testament to contradict its own plain statements.

Again, no wonder Cardinal Cushing, a leading Roman Catholic prelate in the U.S.A., is on record as saying that his "expert consultants did not seek a single change in the text of the T.E.V.* before approving it for Catholic use".

Moreover, the Cardinal, as R.C. Archbishop of Boston, gave the T.E.V.* his official approval and had his imprimatur inserted therein.

*The T.E.V. (Todays English Version) was renamed the Good News Bible in 2001.

The Ministry Of Silly Walks

This is how the 'United' Kingdom and its devolved governments are walking in the present day.

Winston Churchill once said "keep scientists on tap, not on top." Where are they now? Yes, "on top"! What is the current mantra? "We will follow the science!" Tragically, though the powers that be are totally deceived, (knowingly or otherwise) this 'silliness' is Satan's sinister work, for he was a murderer from the beginning. John 8:44, and let us not forget that the devil is in control, for God in Christ has ordained him to be the god of this age. 2 Corinthians 4:4.

"The Ministry Of Silly Walks" was a comedy sketch on Monty Pythons Flying Circus, a late 1960s, early 70s comedy series which parodied the UK governments ministries. It was so wacky, as was everything else they produced-brilliant satirical imitation of all events then taking place-but how far the declension has continued apace since! The Dead Parrot sketch was another of my favourites. John Cleese (aka Basil Fawlty/Fawlty Towers) played the part of a bowler hatted civil servant complaining about the fact that "the government spent far more on national defence than they did on the Ministry of Silly Walks"!

How prophetic! Where are we now? The government of the day is totally barking mad, truly the whole lot in their various ministries are walking according to "The Ministry Of Silly Walks" albeit in a metaphorical way! wanting to jab and test everyone in sight, from pregnant women, babies, children and adults alike, with lignocaine (a sorcerers poison)! One dose isn't enough! No! we are told we need a second, and a booster jab, and yet this won't stop the mythical Omicron! But, fear not! those sorcerers in white coats are busy at work developing more poison to jab us with! Oh, and how they want us all to go everyplace wearing masks, and shoving God knows what up our noses, and doing whatever else-"don't mix-keep apart"!  

Don't participate with all this nonsense.

I have no doubt there are post coded placebo vaccines in various locations, for they don't want to kill everyone. 

This video is only 3 minutes long, and you will also note folk in a long queue, queuing for what, I know not, but it is yet another dystopian prophecy of the draconian age we are in today.

Only The Lord Jesus can save us from all this madness, "close in with Him today" as the old saint John Bunyan was wont to preach-if you haven't done so already. 

The literal rebuilding of Babylon cannot be afar off now, and after that metropolis has been rebuilt, the Lord Jesus shall destroy it and its king (antichrist) with the brightness of His Coming. 2 Thessalonians 2:8.

Truth Stranger Than Fiction?

I read an interesting news report on the BBC news yesterday: bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-57552287 

under the headline "Social care: Ministers urged to 'act now' on funding reform". I now quote the "killer" part:

"Boris Johnson, when he entered Downing Street back in July 2019 vowed to fix the funding crisis with a CLEAR plan we have prepared." (Emphasis mine). Not a remarkable statement? It is a fact that politicians make many promises and don't deliver the goods, but when you consider who Johnson's father is, the quotation from the incumbent prime minister makes chilling reading.

Stanley Johnson is an ex World Bank employee and former MEP who has written many books, the central theme being depopulation and the environment. On his book "THE VIRUS" Amazon write: "From renowned British politician Stanley Johnson, an exiting, intelligent thriller about the rise of a mysterious virus, and one man's fight to stop a deadly pandemic, perfect for fans of Michael Crichton and Dan Brown. How do you stop an invisible killer?"

Stanley Johnson's list of works on population issues, and the environment can be seen on his Wikipedia page. The truth is hidden in plain sight! And I think any discerning reader will know what the "clear plan" to "fix the funding crisis" is?

Think on this...please?

The Creed. The Wisdom of A.W.Pink (1886-1952).

There are two great basic truths which run through Scripture, and are enforced on every page: that God is sovereign, and that man is a responsible creature; and it is only as the balance of truth is preserved between these two that we are delivered from error. The Divine sovereignty should not be pressed to the exclusion of human responsibility, nor must human responsibility be so stressed that God's sovereignty is either ignored or denied. The danger here is no fancied one, as the history of Christendom painfully exhibits. A careful study of the Word, and an honest appropriation of all it contains, is our only safeguard.

We are creatures prone to go to extremes: like the pendulum of a clock in motion, we swing from one side to the other. Nowhere has this tendency been more sadly exemplified than in the teachings of theologians concerning the security of the Christian. On the one hand, there have been those who affirmed, Once saved, always saved; on the other hand, many have insisted that a man may be saved today, but lost tomorrow. And both sides have appealed to the Bible in support of their conflicting contentions! Very unwise and unguarded statements have been made by both parties. Some Calvinists have boldly declared that if a sinner has received Christ as his Saviour, no matter what he does afterward, no matter what his subsequent life may be, he cannot perish. Some Arminians have openly denied the efficacy of the finished Work of Christ, and affirmed that when a sinner repents and believes in Christ he is merely put in a salvable state, on probation, and that his own good works and faithfulness will prove the deciding factor as to whether he should spend eternity in Heaven or Hell. 

Endless volumes have been written on the subject, but neither side has satisfied the other; and the writer for one, is not at all surprised at this. Party-spirit has run too high, sectarian prejudice has been too strong. Only too often the aim of the contestants has been to silence their opponents, rather than to arrive at the truth. The method followed has frequently been altogether unworthy of the "children of light". One class of passages of Scripture has been pressed into service, while another class of passages has been either  ignored or explained away. Is it not a fact that if some Calvinists were honest they would have to acknowledge there are some passages in the Bible which they wish were not there at all? And if some Arminians were equally honest, would they not have to confess that there are passages in Holy Writ which they are quite unable to fit into the creed to which they are committed? Sad, sad indeed, is this. There is nothing in the Word of God of which any Christian needs be afraid, and if there is a single verse in it which conflicts with his creed, so much the worse for his creed.

Now the subject of the Christian's security, like every other truth of Scripture, has two sides to it: into it there enters both God's sovereignty and human responsibility. It is failure to recognize and reckon upon this which has wrought such havoc and created so much confusion. More than once has the writer heard a renowned Bible-teacher  of orthodox reputation say, "I do not believe in the perseverance of the saints, but I do believe in the preservation of the Saviour." But that is to ignore an important part of the truth. The New Testament has much to say on the perseverance of the saints, and to deny or ignore it is not only to dishonour God, but to damage souls.

There have been those who boldly insisted that, if God has eternally elected a certain man to be saved, that man will be saved, no matter what he does or does not do. Not so does the Word of God teach. Scripture says, God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation, through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth." 2 Thess. 2:13, and if a man does not "believe the truth" he will never be saved. The Lord Jesus declared, "Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish" Luke 13:3; therefore, if a sinner, does not "repent", he will not be saved. In like manner, there are those who have said, If a man is a real Christian, no matter how he may live in the future, no matter how far or how long he may backslide, no matter what sins he may commit, he is sure of heaven. Put in such a way, this teaching has wrought untold harm, and, at the risk of our own orthodoxy being suspected, we here enter a solemn and vigorous protest against it.

The writer has met many people who profess to be Christians, but whose daily lives differ in nothing from thousands of non-professors all around them. They are rarely, if ever, found at the prayer-meeting, they have no family worship, they seldom read the Scriptures, they will not talk with you about the things of God, their walk is thoroughly worldly; and yet they are quite sure they are bound for heaven! Inquire into the grounds of their confidence, and they will tell you that so many years ago they accepted Christ as their Saviour, and "once saved always saved" is their comfort. There are thousands of such people on earth today, who are nevertheless, on the Broad Road, that leadeth to destruction, treading it with a false peace in their hearts and a vain profession on their lips.

The Great Reset, A Brief Analysis.

The Great Reset is an oft used term in certain quarters (illuminati's, Bilderbergers, call them what you will) to describe the New World Order after the covid 19 dust is now starting to settle; I believe the uncertainty will persist to around 2024. By then most will be so worn down, brainwashed and reset to accept once cherished freedoms of the pre covid 19 era will never return. The UK government is now spending money at a rate that is clearly unsustainable, the coffers will run dry, then what? Furlough schemes and other 'business support' measures of every type will have hitherto 'rescued' the people, but at what price? Remember, this is all planned (as far back as the 17th-18th centuries), but more recently, back in 2012 the 'enlightened' World Bank president Jim Yong Kim said:

"A 4- degree warmer world can, and must be avoided - we  need to hold warming below 2 degrees ... Lack of action on climate change threatens to to make the world our children inherit a completely different world than we are living in today. Climate change is one of the single biggest challenges facing development, and we need to assume the moral responsibility to take action on behalf of future generations, especially the poorest." (They 'care' about them-I'm sure!)

In recent years we have had a great many 'global' conferences with climate change/'global' warming being very top of the agenda. Davos which hosts the World Economic Forum, an annual meeting of 'global' political and business elites since the 1970s under Satan's guidance (though they know it not: Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning) have been plotting how to bring about the New World Order, a "sustainable" future as they call it. Have the elite money men been visiting Davos for the scenery, or planning the Great Reset; which is it!? Many of these elite think the world population should presently be no more than 250-500 million, contrast those figures with the present world population of approximately seven billion! Such is their 'utopia', mass depopulation-'global' genocide!

When the planned covid 19 eventually wreaks total financial havoc upon the nations, they will turn to the lenders of last resort, the International Monetary Fund, which is itself dependent upon the World Bank. And with the aim of extinguishing personal and business debt, poverty etc., all the nations will be subject to draconian terms and conditions which I believe will so restrict personal movement; no more foreign holidays, people driving from north to south and east to west, even in their own countries, and of course, personal property rights will disappear! The mythical 'carbon footprint' must be eliminated at all costs, and Now! Remember we are constantly told that we live on a finite 'planet' that cannot support the continued population growth; a damnable lie! for God said Be fruitful and multiply. Every measure; vaccines, abortion controls, prescription drugs and many others will do their nefarious work. By the time the present vaccination madness fallout ends around 2024, the nations will be enforcing the new dystopian and permanent measures upon their people; The New World Order completed! This may be the very time when we see the prophesied ten kingdoms finally rise to prominence (ten horns: Daniel 7:7,20,24, Revelation 12:3, 13:1,17:3, 17:7, 17:12, 17:16). The ten horns answer to the feet that were of iron and clay Daniel 2:34, upon whom Christ the Rock will grind him to powder. Matthew 21:44. This coming immediately after Revelation 17-18 which prophesies of a literal rebuilt city of Babylon, which will be the great city and metropolis of Antichrist's kingdom. This literal city will literally rise out of this planned pandemic, be assured of this. Many struggle with a literal interpretation, but God hath said it. The builders left off to build the city Genesis 11:8, and they will return to finish it. 

We don't need to be 'brain of Britain' to see that the four UK governments and throughout the world have totally nobbled the tourist, aviation, and hospitality industry, but kept manufacturing industry* and the transport hub alive to keep the supermarkets stocked, do we? I believe there will be a massive population cull in the next few months and years ahead; the pharmaceutical giants and scientists will not be held accountable for the coming mass slaughter (this side of the Lord's Return); governments have already granted them immunity against prosecution! We have already been told in advance that new strains of the mythical covid 19 virus can mutate at any time! Scientists and their backers can fool the masses at all times, hence the well known expression "blinded by science" The Bible calls it science falsely so called 1 Timothy 6:20. It is of note that in the wider context from v17-19 the inspired apostle warns against them that are rich in this world! But, of these that were highminded, they didn't trust in God but in their riches, and instead of Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come they did the exact opposite! The wealthy bankers financed and used the false science to their own destruction! Truly they be blind leaders of the blind, both shall fall into the ditch. Matthew 15:14. This 'pandemic' has been compared with the great wars, so the scientists and their backers won't be culpable for this mass slaughter, having already been granted indemnity by the government. 

The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender. Proverbs 22:7.

Apart from the elite super rich, everyone else is poor! And it will be found that the nations will be servant to the lender! THE BANKERS!

But have no fear; For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? Matthew 16:26.

*Without industry, manufacturing, and trade, the future Babylon couldn't come to pass. There is talk of electric airplanes, but it is interesting that only ships are mentioned in Revelation 18. Truly we are in an age of great deception; the Lord warned against deception many times, especially in His Olivet Discourse immediately prior to His Return. I know not how many years we are from this but I have a feeling it will be within the next 20-30 years. It took approximately 20 years to build the modern city of Dubai (I visited in 2002), but the money behind the Babylon rebuild will make Dubai look like small change! 

Vanity Of Vanities All Is Vanity

The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem. Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity. What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun?

Ecclesiastes 1:1-3.

How very discouraging and disheartening to read these words? 

But, take heart and read how the Book of Ecclesiastes ends:

Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep His commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil. Ecclesiastes 12:13-14.

And Who exactly do we fear?

The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, a GREATER THAN SOLOMON is here. Luke 11:31. (Capitals mine).

As that Puritan saint of bygone days, John Bunyan was wont to say "Close in with Christ today!" What excellent advice? It maybe that tomorrow will be too late. Sadly, most seem to (in my humble opinion at least) shut their ears to the Gospel Truth.

Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation. 2 Corinthians 6:2.

Without exception, all of the NHS doctors, nurses, vaccinators and pretty much all on the NHS payroll are DECIEVED. They won't know it, but by taking  part in this mass vaccination programme, it will not be for the benefit of the vaccinated, in fact, quite the reverse. I believe state sponsored genocide is well under way. We only have to read the BBC news for confirmation of this, for those in power are being deceived by malevolent scientists (sorcerers, witches and pharmacists by other names). And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch. Matt. 15:14. "Protect us from unlawful killing charges" cry the medics! (BBC News 16th Jan).

I would think by now that any of my regular visitors on this ere blog would not take the vacciNATION?
