<p>“In ancient days, fallen angels descended from Mount Hermon, drawn by their lust for women. Today, this same spirit of lust slips into churches and families, causing division and spiritual giants to rise. What can we do about it?”</p>
<p>Together let&#8217;s highlight the parallels between the fallen angels in Genesis 6, the warnings in Jude, and the divisions caused by unchecked lust masquerading as love.</p>
<p>Unity among true believers, grounded in truth and holiness, has the power to destroy the modern “Nephilim” born of lust and division.</p>
<p>“Have you seen division caused by hidden sin in your community? How can you contend for unity in your church?”</p>

<h2>The Fallen Angels of Mount Hermon: A Spirit of Lust and Rebellion</h2>
<h3>The Story of Genesis 6</h3>
<p>In <a href="https://biblehub.com/genesis/6.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Genesis 6:1-4</a>, we read about a time when the “sons of God”—fallen angels—descended upon the earth. They saw the beauty of human women and were overcome with lust, taking for themselves wives from among them. This unholy union led to the birth of the Nephilim, giants that terrorized the earth.</p>
<p>“When lust overcame these angels, it led to rebellion against God and the creation of the Nephilim giants.”</p>
<p>This same spirit of rebellion is called out in the Book of</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://biblehub.com/jude/1-6.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jude 1:6</a></li>
</ul>
<blockquote><p>“And angels who did not keep their own domain but abandoned their proper dwelling place, He has kept in eternal restraints under darkness for the judgment of the great day.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Jude highlights that these angels, much like rebellious men today, left their rightful place to pursue desires that were forbidden. The same fallen angel spirit is alive in the modern Church, creeping in unnoticed. It operates through individuals who justify sin under the guise of grace, turning God’s mercy into a license for unbridled lust.</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://biblehub.com/jude/1-4.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jude 1:4</a></li>
</ul>
<p>warns us:</p>
<blockquote><p>“For certain persons have crept in unnoticed&#8230; ungodly persons who turn the grace of our God into indecent behavior and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Adultery, whether physical or of the heart, is men acting like fallen angels—calling evil “grace” while tearing apart families, churches, and communities. Jesus Himself exposes this in</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://biblehub.com/matthew/5-28.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Matthew 5:28</a>:</li>
</ul>
<blockquote><p>“But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.”</p></blockquote>
<p>The rebellion seen in Genesis 6 mirrors the rebellion of ungodly men today. They twist God’s truth to satisfy their sinful desires, creating division and empowering spiritual giants—strongholds of darkness that rise against the true Church.</p>
<h3>Symbolism of Mount Hermon and Psalm 133</h3>
<p>Mount Hermon, where the fallen angels descended, holds deep spiritual significance. In <a href="https://biblehub.com/psalms/133-3.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Psalm 133:3</a>, the psalmist paints a beautiful picture of unity among God’s people:</p>
<blockquote><p>“It is like the dew of Hermon coming down upon the mountains of Zion; for there the Lord commanded the blessing—life forever.”</p></blockquote>
<p>The dew of Mount Hermon symbolizes God’s refreshing blessing that flows where there is unity. Just as dew nourishes and revives the land, unity in the body of Christ allows God’s power and life to flow freely.</p>
<p>But when lust and rebellion take root—when sin goes unaddressed—it brings division. Division cuts off God’s blessing, like dry, parched ground where no dew can fall. Instead of harmony, there is strife. Instead of love, there is betrayal. The spirit that once descended on Mount Hermon now seeks to infiltrate churches and families, robbing us of the unity that God desires.</p>
<p>We cannot ignore the dangers of unaddressed sin. Left unchecked, it empowers spiritual giants to rise, bringing oppression and darkness. True unity among believers, grounded in holiness and truth, destroys these giants and restores the blessing of God.</p>

<h2>The Spirit of the Fallen Angels in Modern Times</h2>
<h3>Lust in the Dark</h3>
<p>The lust that led the fallen angels to descend in <a href="https://biblehub.com/genesis/6-2.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Genesis 6:2 </a>is the same lust at work in the hearts of many today. It begins in darkness—hidden, secret, and unchecked. In modern times, men often engage in relationships they shouldn’t, not just physically but in their hearts. Jesus directly confronts this in <a href="https://biblehub.com/matthew/5-28.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Matthew 5:28.</a></p>
<p>Secret sin doesn’t stay secret for long. It breeds division, just as it did in Genesis 6. Families break, trust shatters, and churches suffer spiritual decay. What begins as a hidden desire becomes a spiritual stronghold—a “giant” of sin—that divides and weakens the body of Christ.</p>
<p>The same spirit that caused the angels to rebel against God now tempts men into compromise and rebellion under the guise of love. But it’s not love. It’s lust wrapped in deception.</p>
<h3>Turning Grace into Lust: Jude’s Warning</h3>
<p>Jude gives a sobering warning in <a href="https://biblehub.com/jude/1-4.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jude 1:4</a>. Jude does not mince words—these people have slipped into the Church unnoticed. They abuse God’s grace as a license to indulge in sin, calling lust “love” and rebellion “freedom.” But Jude doesn’t stop there. He uses the fallen angels as a direct comparison to these individuals in <a href="https://biblehub.com/jude/1-6.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jude 1:6</a></p>
<p>Like the fallen angels, these false believers have left the boundaries of God’s design. They defile their bodies, twist Scripture, and divide the Church with their rebellion. The result? Spiritual darkness, disunity, and the empowerment of strongholds that hold the Church captive.</p>
<p>But make no mistake—these individuals operate under the same rebellious spirit as the fallen angels, and their end is certain. Jude declares that “deepest darkness has been reserved forever” for them. There is no excuse, and there is no justification for unbridled lust masked as grace.</p>
<p>It’s time for the body of Christ to wake up. Hidden sin must be exposed, and false believers must be confronted. Unity cannot exist where rebellion is tolerated. We must stand firm in truth, call sin what it is, and fight for the holiness of God’s people.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-637 aligncenter" src="https://reeseirish.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Division-The-Work-of-the-Enemy.png" alt="Division The Work of the Enemy" width="753" height="750" srcset="https://reeseirish.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Division-The-Work-of-the-Enemy.png 753w, https://reeseirish.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Division-The-Work-of-the-Enemy-300x300.png 300w, https://reeseirish.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Division-The-Work-of-the-Enemy-150x150.png 150w" sizes="(max-width: 753px) 100vw, 753px" /></p>
<h2>Division: The Work of the Enemy</h2>
<h3>The Strategy of the Enemy</h3>
<p>The enemy’s strategy hasn’t changed since the days of Genesis 6—lust and sin create spiritual giants that intimidate, oppress, and divide God’s people. These giants, much like the Nephilim, are spiritual strongholds formed when sin goes unchecked. They create fear, shame, and division within families, congregations, and communities.</p>
<p>Division is one of the most effective tools the enemy uses to rob the Church of its power and blessings. <a href="https://biblehub.com/psalms/133-3.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Psalm 133:3</a> reminds us of God’s desire for unity:</p>
<blockquote><p>“It is like the dew of Hermon coming down upon the mountains of Zion; for there the Lord commanded the blessing—life forever.”</p></blockquote>
<p>God commands His blessing where there is unity. But when lust, sin, and rebellion take root, they act like poison, tearing apart relationships and suffocating the flow of God’s life and power. What was meant to be a place of peace and spiritual growth becomes a battlefield filled with suspicion, mistrust, and spiritual decay.</p>
<h3>The Cost of Division</h3>
<p>Unchecked sin spreads like poison. It doesn’t just impact one person; it seeps into the entire congregation, breaking trust, hardening hearts, and diminishing the presence of the Holy Spirit. The love that once united believers grows cold. Power diminishes. Joy fades.</p>
<p>Jude identifies those responsible for this division in <a href="https://biblehub.com/jude/1-19.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jude 1:19</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>“These are the ones who cause divisions, worldly-minded, devoid of the Spirit.”</p></blockquote>
<p>These individuals are not led by the Holy Spirit. They are led by their own desires, operating under the same rebellious spirit as the fallen angels. They creep into the Church unnoticed, spreading gossip, lust, and rebellion while dividing the very people they claim to love.</p>
<p>The cost of division is steep. It weakens the body of Christ, rendering us ineffective against the works of darkness. The enemy knows that a divided Church is a powerless Church, which is why we must guard against sin and stand firm in unity.</p>
<h2>Judging the Fallen Angel Spirit: A Call to Action</h2>
<h3>Jude’s Command to Contend for the Faith</h3>
<p>The Book of Jude issues a powerful call to believers in <a href="https://biblehub.com/jude/1-3.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jude 1:3</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>“I felt the necessity to write to you appealing that you contend earnestly for the faith that was once for all time handed down to the saints.”</p></blockquote>
<p>This is not a suggestion; it’s a command. Contending for the faith means standing firm against sin and deception, protecting the Church from spiritual death and division. Judging ungodly behavior is not legalism—it’s an act of love. When sin goes unchecked, it poisons relationships, empowers the enemy, and grieves the Holy Spirit. True believers must take a stand, even when it’s uncomfortable.</p>
<h3>How to Judge Righteously</h3>
<p>Jesus gives clear instructions for righteous judgment in <a href="https://biblehub.com/john/7-24.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">John 7:24</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>“Do not judge by the outward appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.”</p></blockquote>
<p>This kind of judgment is not harsh or self-righteous; it’s discerning, holy, and restorative. It seeks to protect unity and holiness in the Church. Here’s how believers can judge righteously:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Expose Sin and Call People to Repentance</strong><br />
Hidden sin thrives in darkness, and darkness creates division. <a href="https://biblehub.com/ephesians/5-11.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ephesians 5:11</a> tells us:</p>
<blockquote><p>“Do not participate in the useless deeds of darkness, but instead even expose them.”<br />
Sin must be brought to light so repentance and restoration can occur.</p></blockquote>
</li>
<li><strong>Reject Those Who Refuse Correction and Cause Division</strong><br />
Not everyone will accept correction. The Bible warns us about this in <a href="https://biblehub.com/titus/3-10.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Titus 3:10</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>“Reject a divisive person after a first and second warning.”<br />
Those who refuse to repent and continue to cause division must be removed for the sake of the Church’s health and unity.</p></blockquote>
</li>
<li><strong>Protect the Unity and Holiness of the Church</strong><br />
Unity is powerful, but it cannot coexist with rebellion and sin. God’s blessing flows when His people are united in holiness, as seen in <a href="https://biblehub.com/psalms/133-1.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Psalm 133:1</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>“Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to live together in unity!”</p></blockquote>
</li>
</ol>
<p>It’s time to take a stand. As believers, we must contend for the faith, expose sin, and guard the body of Christ against division. The fallen angel spirit thrives where compromise is tolerated, but it loses power when truth and righteousness prevail.</p>

<h2>Unity: The Key to Defeating Modern Nephilim</h2>
<h3>Unity Releases God’s Blessing</h3>
<p>Unity is one of the most powerful forces in the Kingdom of God. When believers walk in unity, God’s blessing and power flow freely, just as described in <a href="https://biblehub.com/psalms/133-3.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Psalm 133:3</a>:</p>
<p>The dew of Mount Hermon symbolizes refreshing, life-giving blessings that nourish and sustain. In the same way, when the Church unites in holiness and truth, God’s Spirit flows like living water, bringing strength, revival, and victory. True unity destroys giants—whether they are spiritual strongholds, sin that divides, or darkness that oppresses.</p>
<p>But this unity is not superficial. It’s not about ignoring sin for the sake of “peace.” It’s about standing firm together in truth and righteousness so that the blessings of God can flow unhindered.</p>
<h3>Power in Unity to Defeat Giants</h3>
<p>In <a href="https://biblehub.com/numbers/13.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Numbers 13:30-33</a>, Caleb and Joshua encouraged the Israelites to take possession of the Promised Land, even when others were intimidated by the giants that stood in their way:</p>
<blockquote><p>“Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses and said, ‘We should by all means go up and take possession of it, for we will certainly prevail over it.’”</p></blockquote>
<p>While others saw the giants as undefeatable, Caleb and Joshua knew that the power of God, combined with unity and faith, would lead to victory. The same principle applies today. Spiritual giants—sin, rebellion, and division—stand in opposition to the Church, but when believers unite in truth, holiness, and love, these giants lose their power.</p>
<p>Disunity weakens us. Unity empowers us. The enemy knows this, which is why he works so hard to sow division through secret sin, pride, and rebellion. But as the body of Christ stands together in obedience to God, these giants will fall.</p>
<blockquote><p>“True unity destroys giants, whether they are spiritual strongholds or sin that creates division.”</p></blockquote>
<h3>A Call to Unite</h3>
<p>It’s time for the Church to stop fighting each other and start fighting the real enemy. When we come together in prayer, repentance, and holiness, we release the power of God to dismantle the works of darkness. Unity is not optional—it’s essential.</p>
<p>Let us stand firm as one body, refusing to let sin, pride, or division tear us apart. Together, in the name of Jesus, we will see spiritual giants defeated, darkness driven back, and God’s blessing poured out upon His people.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-639 aligncenter" src="https://reeseirish.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Destroy-the-Giants-and-Take-Back-the-Land.png" alt="Destroy the Giants and Take Back the Land" width="750" height="752" srcset="https://reeseirish.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Destroy-the-Giants-and-Take-Back-the-Land.png 750w, https://reeseirish.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Destroy-the-Giants-and-Take-Back-the-Land-300x300.png 300w, https://reeseirish.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Destroy-the-Giants-and-Take-Back-the-Land-150x150.png 150w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" /></p>
<h2>Destroy the Giants and Take Back the Land</h2>
<h3>Final Exhortation</h3>
<p>The time for compromise is over. As believers, we must reject the spirit of lust, division, and rebellion that seeks to destroy the unity and holiness of the Church. This is not just about identifying sin—it’s about taking action. It’s about standing firm in Christ, refusing to allow these spiritual giants to rob us of our calling.</p>
<p>Paul reminds us in <a href="https://biblehub.com/ephesians/6-12.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ephesians 6:12</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.”</p></blockquote>
<p>We are in a spiritual battle. The giants may look intimidating, but they have no power against a unified, holy Church standing in the authority of Jesus Christ. Reject sin. Expose darkness. Embrace unity. It’s time to contend for a holy, powerful Church that reflects the glory of God.</p>
<h3>Declaration of Victory</h3>
<p>Let’s stand together in faith, proclaiming victory over the enemy:</p>
<p><strong>“In the name of Jesus, we destroy the spirit of lust and division. We stand united as the body of Christ, empowered to defeat every giant and take back the territory stolen by the enemy!”</strong></p>
<p>The giants of sin, rebellion, and division will fall. Unity will rise. God’s blessing will flow like the dew of Mount Hermon, and His power will be revealed through a Church that stands together in holiness and truth.</p>
<p>It’s time to take back the land. The victory belongs to Jesus, and we walk in that victory today.</p>

<p>“What if this ancient mountain holds secrets to understanding unity, spiritual warfare, and God’s blessings?”</p>
<h2>Mount Hermon: A Mountain of Blessing and Controversy</h2>
<h3><strong>Introduction: Mount Hermon, Unity, and Psalm 133</strong></h3>
<p>Mount Hermon is more than a majestic, snow-capped peak; it is a profound spiritual landmark that bridges divine blessing and spiritual conflict. As mentioned in <a href="https://biblehub.com/psalms/133-3.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Psalm 1<span style="color: #ff0000;">33:3</span></a>, <em>“It is like the dew of Hermon, descending upon the mountains of Zion; for there the Lord commanded the blessing—Life forevermore.”</em> This verse ties Mount Hermon to unity and God’s eternal blessing, symbolized by its life-giving dew. But Mount Hermon is also infamous for being the site where, according to the Book of Enoch, fallen angels descended to make a rebellious pact against God.</p>
<p>This paradox is fascinating. The same mountain that brings unity and refreshment also became a battleground of rebellion, leading to the creation of the Nephilim (giants) who defied God’s purposes. Mount Hermon serves as a source of water for the Jordan River, the very river Israel crossed to enter the Promised Land. On the other side of the Jordan were giants, descendants of the Nephilim, whom Israel had to conquer to claim their inheritance (see <a href="https://biblehub.com/joshua/3.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joshua 3:14-17</a>).</p>
<p>The connection between <a href="https://biblehub.com/psalms/133-3.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Psalm 133:3</a> and the symbolic number <span style="color: #ff0000;">333</span> highlights the power of unity in reclaiming spiritual ground. Just as Mount Hermon’s dew sustains life, unity among believers enables us to spiritually reclaim this contested mountain, defeating the giants—both literal and metaphorical—that stand in our way. This introduction sets the stage to explore how Mount Hermon, unity, and spiritual warfare converge to reveal a path to victory through Christ.</p>

<h2><strong>Geographic Significance of Mount Hermon</strong></h2>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-620 aligncenter" src="https://reeseirish.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Geographic-Significance-of-Mount-Hermon.png" alt="Geographic Significance of Mount Hermon" width="748" height="741" srcset="https://reeseirish.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Geographic-Significance-of-Mount-Hermon.png 748w, https://reeseirish.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Geographic-Significance-of-Mount-Hermon-300x297.png 300w, https://reeseirish.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Geographic-Significance-of-Mount-Hermon-150x150.png 150w" sizes="(max-width: 748px) 100vw, 748px" /></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>A Towering Presence</strong>:<br />
Mount Hermon stands as the tallest mountain in the region, rising to over 9,000 feet. Its snow-capped peaks are a striking feature, visible for miles, and symbolize strength and permanence.</li>
<li><strong>A Source of Life</strong>:
<ul>
<li style="list-style-type: none;">
<ul>
<li>The mountain is a vital water source for the region. Its snowmelt feeds into the Jordan River, one of the most significant rivers in biblical history. The Jordan’s waters flow southward, sustaining agriculture and life in the Promised Land.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p><a href="https://biblehub.com/deuteronomy/11.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Deuteronomy 11:11-12</a> describes the Promised Land as a place dependent on God’s provision of water: <em>“But the land which you cross over to possess is a land of hills and valleys, which drinks water from the rain of heaven, a land for which the Lord your God cares.”</em></li>
<li><strong>Symbol of Provision</strong>:<br />
The Jordan River, sourced from Hermon’s dew and snowmelt, played a pivotal role in Israel’s history. It was the river the Israelites crossed to enter the Promised Land, stepping into God’s promises (<a href="https://biblehub.com/joshua/3.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joshua 3:14-17</a>). This crossing not only symbolized victory but also dependence on God’s miraculous provision.</li>
<li><strong>A Fertile Region</strong>:<br />
The life-giving waters of Mount Hermon make the surrounding lands fertile, supporting the natural and spiritual symbolism of Hermon as a place of refreshment and sustenance. Its waters are a tangible representation of God’s blessings flowing into the lives of His people.</li>
</ul>
<p>Mount Hermon’s geographic features underscore its role as both a physical and spiritual source of life, making it a central figure in biblical narratives of provision, victory, and unity.</p>
<h2><strong>Spiritual Significance in Psalm 133 and the Number 333</strong></h2>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-622 aligncenter" src="https://reeseirish.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Spiritual-Significance-in-Psalm-133-and-the-Number-333.png" alt="Spiritual Significance in Psalm 133 and the Number 333" width="750" height="747" srcset="https://reeseirish.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Spiritual-Significance-in-Psalm-133-and-the-Number-333.png 750w, https://reeseirish.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Spiritual-Significance-in-Psalm-133-and-the-Number-333-300x300.png 300w, https://reeseirish.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Spiritual-Significance-in-Psalm-133-and-the-Number-333-150x150.png 150w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" /></p>
<p>Psalm 133 is a powerful declaration of the blessings that flow from unity among God’s people. At its core, it reveals the connection between unity, divine blessing, and life-giving provision. Verse 3 specifically mentions Mount Hermon, providing a metaphor that is rich in meaning:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>The Dew of Hermon as a Metaphor for Unity</strong>:<br />
<a href="https://biblehub.com/psalms/133-3.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Psalm 133:3</a> states, <em>“It is like the dew of Hermon, descending upon the mountains of Zion; for there the Lord commanded the blessing—Life forevermore.”</em></p>
<ul>
<li>Hermon’s dew symbolizes refreshment, abundance, and life. Just as its dew nourishes the land, unity among believers brings spiritual vitality and God’s favor.</li>
<li>Dew, in Scripture, often represents divine favor and provision (<a href="https://biblehub.com/deuteronomy/32-2.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Deuteronomy 32:2</a>, <a href="https://biblehub.com/hosea/14-5.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hosea 14:5</a>). Hermon’s dew emphasizes how unity acts as a conduit for God’s blessings to flow freely.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Unity Brings God’s Blessings</strong>:
<ul>
<li>Psalm 133 highlights that unity is “good and pleasant” because it invites God’s presence and provision (<a href="https://biblehub.com/psalms/133-1.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Psalm 133:1</a>).</li>
<li>Just as Mount Hermon’s waters feed the Jordan River, sustaining life in the Promised Land, unity among believers nourishes the body of Christ, enabling it to flourish and overcome obstacles.</li>
<li>Unity creates an environment where the Lord can <em>“command the blessing—life forevermore.”</em> This echoes the eternal life and spiritual abundance believers receive in Christ (<a href="https://biblehub.com/john/17-21.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">John 17:21</a>).</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>The Number 333 and Divine Significance</strong>:
<ul>
<li><a href="https://biblehub.com/psalms/133-3.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Psalm 133:3</a> ties the blessing of unity to the life-giving metaphor of Hermon’s dew. The repetition of the number 3 in the chapter and verse reference is often seen as spiritually significant.</li>
<li>The number 3 in Scripture symbolizes completeness and divine wholeness, often associated with the Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit).</li>
<li>The spiritual number “333” reinforces the idea of God’s presence, covenant, and unity among His people as a reflection of His own triune nature (<a href="https://biblehub.com/ecclesiastes/4-12.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ecclesiastes 4:12</a>).</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Psalm 133:3 illustrates how the refreshing power of unity is tied to God’s blessings, just as Hermon’s dew sustains the land. The symbolic connection to the number 333 further emphasizes the divine promise and completeness found in unity under God’s authority. Through unity, believers can experience the fullness of God’s blessings, mirroring the life-giving waters that flow from Mount Hermon to the Promised Land.</p>
<h2><strong>The Fallen Angels and the Book of Enoch</strong></h2>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-621 aligncenter" src="https://reeseirish.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/The-Fallen-Angels-and-the-Book-of-Enoch.png" alt="The Fallen Angels and the Book of Enoch" width="745" height="744" srcset="https://reeseirish.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/The-Fallen-Angels-and-the-Book-of-Enoch.png 745w, https://reeseirish.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/The-Fallen-Angels-and-the-Book-of-Enoch-300x300.png 300w, https://reeseirish.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/The-Fallen-Angels-and-the-Book-of-Enoch-150x150.png 150w, https://reeseirish.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/The-Fallen-Angels-and-the-Book-of-Enoch-600x600.png 600w" sizes="(max-width: 745px) 100vw, 745px" /></p>
<h3><strong>1. The Fallen Angels’ Descent</strong></h3>
<p>Mount Hermon holds a significant place in the spiritual narrative of rebellion and corruption. The <em>Book of Enoch</em>, an ancient text referenced by early Christians, describes Mount Hermon as the site where a group of rebellious angels descended to make a pact against God.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>The Pact of Rebellion</strong>:<br />
According to <a href="https://coursebible.com/book-of-enoch/1-enoch-chapter-6"><em>Enoch 6:6</em></a>, these angels, referred to as the “Sons of God” in <a href="https://biblehub.com/genesis/6.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Genesis 6:1-4</a>, chose Mount Hermon to seal their agreement. Their leader, often identified as Shemihazah, and his followers corrupted humanity by teaching forbidden knowledge such as sorcery, weaponry, and astrology.</p>
<ul>
<li><em>“And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, that the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.”</em> (<a href="https://biblehub.com/genesis/6.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Genesis 6:1-2</a>)</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Creating the Nephilim</strong>:<br />
Their rebellion led to the birth of the Nephilim, a race of giants described as “mighty men of old, men of renown” (<a href="https://biblehub.com/genesis/6.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Genesis 6:4</a>). These giants became a source of terror and corruption on the earth, symbolizing the ultimate defilement of God’s creation.</li>
</ul>
<h3><strong>2. Mount Hermon as a Battleground</strong></h3>
<p>Mount Hermon became a spiritual battleground, symbolizing the clash between rebellion and God’s divine order.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>A Symbol of Rebellion</strong>:<br />
The fallen angels’ descent turned Hermon into a stronghold of spiritual defiance. Their actions disrupted the harmony of creation, contaminating humanity and the earth with sin.</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://biblehub.com/jude/1-6.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jude 1:6</a> reflects on the consequences of this rebellion: <em>“And the angels who did not keep their proper domain, but left their own abode, He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day.”</em></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Contamination of Creation</strong>:<br />
Hermon, once a source of physical and spiritual life, became a symbol of defilement. The Nephilim giants spread violence and chaos, challenging God’s purpose for humanity. This contamination of creation echoed the fallen angels’ initial rebellion in heaven (<a href="https://biblehub.com/isaiah/14.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Isaiah 14:12-14</a>).</li>
</ul>
<p>Despite its association with rebellion, Mount Hermon can also represent God’s redemptive power. Through Christ, believers are called to reclaim spiritual strongholds like Hermon and defeat the “giants” of sin, fear, and spiritual opposition in their lives. As Paul reminds us, <em>“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age”</em> (<a href="https://biblehub.com/ephesians/6-12.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ephesians 6:12</a>).</p>
<p>Mount Hermon is more than a battleground—it’s an opportunity to experience Christ’s ultimate victory over rebellion and darkness.</p>
<h2><strong>Giants in the Land: Conquering the Nephilim</strong></h2>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-623 aligncenter" src="https://reeseirish.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Giants-in-the-Land-Conquering-the-Nephilim.png" alt="Giants in the Land Conquering the Nephilim" width="781" height="792" srcset="https://reeseirish.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Giants-in-the-Land-Conquering-the-Nephilim.png 781w, https://reeseirish.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Giants-in-the-Land-Conquering-the-Nephilim-296x300.png 296w, https://reeseirish.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Giants-in-the-Land-Conquering-the-Nephilim-768x779.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 781px) 100vw, 781px" /></p>
<h4><strong>1. Nephilim in the Bible</strong></h4>
<p>The Nephilim, mentioned in <a href="https://biblehub.com/genesis/6-4.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Genesis 6:4</a>, were described as giants and mighty men born from the union of fallen angels and human women. These beings represented a direct corruption of God’s creation and became a formidable obstacle to God’s people.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>The Giants Israel Faced</strong>:
<ul>
<li>When the Israelites approached the Promised Land, they encountered the descendants of the Nephilim, including the Anakim and Rephaim (<a href="https://biblehub.com/deuteronomy/2.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Deuteronomy 2:10-11</a>). These giants were so intimidating that the spies sent by Moses reported, <em>“There we saw the giants (the descendants of Anak came from the giants); and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight”</em> (<a href="https://biblehub.com/psalms/133-3.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Numbers 13<span style="color: #ff0000;">3:3</span></a>).</li>
<li>Crossing the Jordan River, fed by the waters of Mount Hermon, marked the beginning of Israel’s conquest of these giants. The crossing was a miraculous demonstration of God’s power, as the river was stopped, allowing Israel to pass on dry ground (<a href="https://biblehub.com/joshua/3.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joshua 3:14-17</a>).</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h4><strong>2. Spiritual Parallel for Today</strong></h4>
<p>The physical battles against giants in the Old Testament symbolize the spiritual battles believers face today.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Modern-Day Giants</strong>:
<ul>
<li>Giants like fear, addiction, division, and sin often stand in the way of God’s promises for His people. Just as Israel was called to confront the giants in the Promised Land, believers today are called to overcome these spiritual strongholds through faith in Christ.</li>
<li><a href="https://biblehub.com/2_corinthians/10.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2 Corinthians 10:4-5</a> reminds us, <em>“For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds.”</em></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Taking Back Territory</strong>:
<ul>
<li>The Promised Land was a divine inheritance for Israel, just as believers are called to reclaim spiritual ground that the enemy has occupied. Through prayer, unity, and reliance on God’s strength, we can confront and defeat the giants in our lives, just as David defeated Goliath (<a href="https://biblehub.com/1_samuel/17.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">1 Samuel 17:45-47</a>).</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>By understanding the significance of Israel’s conquest of the Nephilim giants, believers can draw strength to face their own challenges. Through faith and unity, the same God who led Israel to victory will empower us to overcome.</p>
<h2><strong>Psalm 133: Unity as a Weapon of Victory</strong></h2>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-624 size-full" src="https://reeseirish.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Psalm-133-Unity-as-a-Weapon-of-Victory.png" alt="Psalm 133 Unity as a Weapon of Victory" width="478" height="474" srcset="https://reeseirish.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Psalm-133-Unity-as-a-Weapon-of-Victory.png 478w, https://reeseirish.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Psalm-133-Unity-as-a-Weapon-of-Victory-300x297.png 300w, https://reeseirish.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Psalm-133-Unity-as-a-Weapon-of-Victory-150x150.png 150w" sizes="(max-width: 478px) 100vw, 478px" /></p>
<h4><strong>1. The Blessing of Unity</strong></h4>
<p>Psalm 133 is a celebration of the beauty and power of unity among God’s people.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Breaking Down Psalm 133:1-3</strong>:<br />
<a href="https://biblehub.com/psalms/133-1.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Psalm 133:1</a> begins with a powerful statement: <em>“Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!”</em></p>
<ul>
<li style="list-style-type: none;">
<ul>
<li>Unity is both good (morally upright) and pleasant (spiritually fulfilling), bringing joy to God and blessings to His people.</li>
<li>Verse 2 compares unity to the anointing oil poured on Aaron, symbolizing the consecration and sanctification of God’s people.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p><a href="https://biblehub.com/psalms/133-3.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Psalm 1<span style="color: #ff0000;">33:3</span></a> ties unity to the life-giving dew of Mount Hermon, stating: <em>“It is like the dew of Hermon, descending upon the mountains of Zion; for there the Lord commanded the blessing—life forevermore.”</em> Hermon’s dew is a metaphor for the refreshing and sustaining power of unity under God’s authority.</li>
<li><strong>Unity Attracts God’s Blessings</strong>:<br />
Just as Hermon’s dew nourishes the land, unity among believers allows God’s blessings to flow abundantly, bringing life, refreshment, and strength to His people. Unity creates an environment where God can command blessings, including eternal life and spiritual renewal (<a href="https://biblehub.com/john/17-21.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">John 17:21</a>).</li>
</ul>
<h4><strong>2. The Significance of <span style="color: #ff0000;">333</span></strong></h4>
<p>The number <span style="color: #ff0000;">333</span>, drawn from <a href="https://biblehub.com/psalms/133-3.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Psalm 1<span style="color: #ff0000;">33:3</span></a>, carries deep symbolic meaning that reinforces the theme of unity and God’s covenant.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Symbolism of 333</strong>:
<ul>
<li>The number 3 in Scripture often represents divine completeness and perfection, as seen in the Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit). The repetition of 3 signifies a divine promise or confirmation of God’s covenant (<a href="https://biblehub.com/ecclesiastes/4-12.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ecclesiastes 4:12</a>, emphasizing strength in unity).</li>
<li>Psalm 133:3 directly links unity with God’s blessings, making the reference to 333 a spiritual call to reclaim Mount Hermon and use unity as a weapon of victory.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Reclaiming Mount Hermon</strong>:<br />
The association of 333 with unity reminds believers of their responsibility to take back spiritual ground through unity under Christ. As the dew of Hermon refreshes and sustains, so unity empowers the church to confront spiritual darkness and claim victory in Jesus’ name (<a href="https://biblehub.com/matthew/18-20.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Matthew 18:20</a>).</li>
</ul>
<p>Unity is not just a blessing—it is a weapon. When believers dwell in unity, they position themselves under God’s authority, allowing His blessings to flow freely and enabling them to overcome spiritual strongholds.</p>
<h2><strong>Taking Back Mount Hermon in Jesus’ Name</strong></h2>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-625 aligncenter" src="https://reeseirish.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Taking-Back-Mount-Hermon-in-Jesus-Name.png" alt="Taking Back Mount Hermon in Jesus’ Name" width="782" height="774" srcset="https://reeseirish.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Taking-Back-Mount-Hermon-in-Jesus-Name.png 782w, https://reeseirish.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Taking-Back-Mount-Hermon-in-Jesus-Name-300x297.png 300w, https://reeseirish.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Taking-Back-Mount-Hermon-in-Jesus-Name-768x760.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 782px) 100vw, 782px" /></p>
<h4><strong>1. Reclaiming the Mountain</strong></h4>
<p>Mount Hermon, once a place of rebellion and spiritual darkness, can be reclaimed through the unity of believers under Christ’s authority.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Unity as a Weapon</strong>:<br />
Unity among believers is more than just a blessing—it is a weapon to reclaim spiritual strongholds. When believers come together in faith and purpose, they align themselves with God’s will and power. <a href="https://biblehub.com/ephesians/4-3.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ephesians 4:3</a> calls us to <em>“endeavor to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.”</em> This unity enables the church to stand firm against the enemy’s schemes.</p>
<ul>
<li>Just as Hermon’s dew refreshes the land, unity refreshes and empowers the body of Christ, bringing life to areas that have been spiritually barren.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Spiritual Warfare</strong>:<br />
Reclaiming spiritual ground requires recognizing the nature of the battle.<a href="https://biblehub.com/ephesians/6-12.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ephesians 6:12</a> reminds us: <em>“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.”</em></p>
<ul>
<li>The battle is not physical but spiritual, requiring faith, prayer, and unity to defeat the forces of darkness and reclaim what was lost.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h4><strong>2. Defeating Modern Giants</strong></h4>
<p>Today’s giants may not be physical Nephilim but spiritual strongholds that stand in the way of God’s promises.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Confronting Giants Today</strong>:<br />
Fear, sin, addiction, division, and other spiritual challenges are modern-day giants that believers must face. Just as Joshua led Israel across the Jordan to defeat the giants in the Promised Land, believers today are called to confront and overcome these obstacles through faith. <a href="https://biblehub.com/2_corinthians/10-4.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2 Corinthians 10:4</a> declares: <em>“For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds.”</em></p>
<ul>
<li>Faith in Christ and unity with other believers enable us to take back what the enemy has stolen.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Victory Through Christ</strong>:<br />
Jesus’ victory on the cross secured authority over every power of darkness. <a href="https://biblehub.com/colossians/2-15.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Colossians 2:15</a> proclaims, <em>“Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.”</em></p>
<ul>
<li>Through His power, we can defeat spiritual giants, reclaim lost ground, and walk in the fullness of God’s promises.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>By standing in unity and faith, we can reclaim Mount Hermon and every spiritual stronghold, declaring victory in the name of Jesus.</p>
<h2><strong>The Jordan River and Crossing into God’s Promises</strong></h2>

<h4><strong>1. Jordan’s Connection to Mount Hermon</strong></h4>
<p>The Jordan River, fed by the snowmelt and dew of Mount Hermon, played a pivotal role in Israel’s history as both a physical and spiritual symbol of transition into God’s promises.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Source of Life and Provision</strong>:<br />
The Jordan River originates from the foothills of Mount Hermon, flowing southward into the heart of the Promised Land. It was a life-giving resource for Israel, sustaining the land God had given them. This provision highlights God’s faithfulness in meeting His people’s needs.</li>
<li><strong>Crossing into the Promised Land</strong>:<br />
Israel’s crossing of the Jordan River marked a critical moment of faith and obedience. As the priests carrying the Ark of the Covenant stepped into the river, its waters parted, allowing the nation to cross on dry ground (<a href="https://biblehub.com/joshua/3.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joshua 3:14-17</a>). This miracle mirrored the parting of the Red Sea and symbolized God’s power and faithfulness.</p>
<ul>
<li>The crossing represents a transition from wandering to inheritance, from promise to fulfillment.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Stepping into God’s Promises Today</strong>:<br />
The Jordan River symbolizes the steps of faith believers must take to enter into the fullness of God’s promises. It is a reminder that we must trust God’s provision and power to overcome the obstacles that stand between us and His plans for our lives (<a href="https://biblehub.com/hebrews/11-6.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hebrews 11:6</a>).</li>
</ul>
<h4><strong>2. A Unified Body Crossing Together</strong></h4>
<p>Unity was essential for Israel to cross the Jordan as a nation, just as it is for believers today to move forward in God’s purposes.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Crossing Together as One</strong>:<br />
Israel’s crossing was a collective act of faith and obedience. The entire nation waited on God’s timing and moved together under His leadership. This unity reflects the church’s need to work together in harmony, trusting God to lead them into His promises (<a href="https://biblehub.com/1_corinthians/12-12.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">1 Corinthians <span style="color: #ff0000;">12:12</span></a>).</li>
<li><strong>Unity Empowers Movement</strong>:<br />
Just as the Jordan’s waters parted for Israel, obstacles are removed when believers come together in unity and faith. <a href="https://biblehub.com/psalms/133-1.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Psalm 133:1</a> reminds us of the blessings that flow when brethren dwell together in unity. This unity allows the body of Christ to step into God’s promises with boldness and strength.</li>
</ul>
<p>The story of the Jordan River and its connection to Mount Hermon inspires believers to step into their spiritual inheritance through faith, unity, and obedience to God.</p>
<h2><strong>Conclusion: Unity and Victory in Christ</strong></h2>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-627 aligncenter" src="https://reeseirish.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Unity-and-Victory-in-Christ.png" alt="Unity and Victory in Christ" width="789" height="782" srcset="https://reeseirish.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Unity-and-Victory-in-Christ.png 789w, https://reeseirish.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Unity-and-Victory-in-Christ-300x297.png 300w, https://reeseirish.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Unity-and-Victory-in-Christ-150x150.png 150w, https://reeseirish.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Unity-and-Victory-in-Christ-768x761.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 789px) 100vw, 789px" /></p>
<h4><strong>1. Call to Action</strong></h4>
<p>As we reflect on the profound significance of Mount Hermon and its connection to unity, blessing, and spiritual warfare, it is clear that unity is not just a virtue—it is a spiritual weapon.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Seek Unity</strong>:<br />
Just as <a href="https://biblehub.com/psalms/133-1.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Psalm 133:1</a> declares, <em>“Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!”</em> unity unlocks the blessings and power of God.</p>
<ul>
<li>Let us pursue unity in our families, churches, and communities. When believers come together in harmony, God’s presence dwells among them, and His blessings flow.</li>
<li>Unity is essential to reclaiming spiritual ground, whether in personal battles, within our families, or in our ministries.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Reclaiming Spiritual Ground</strong>:<br />
Jesus has already secured the victory over sin, death, and the forces of darkness (<a href="https://biblehub.com/colossians/2-15.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Colossians 2:15</a>). By standing together in unity, we walk in His authority and reclaim what was lost.</p>
<ul>
<li>Reclaiming Mount Hermon is not just symbolic—it is a declaration of Christ’s victory over every stronghold. Through prayer, faith, and unity, we take back what the enemy has stolen.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h4><strong>2. Closing Reflection</strong></h4>
<p>As we consider the lessons from Mount Hermon, let us remember that the blessings of unity flow like the dew of Hermon, bringing life to God’s people. In Christ, we are called to be victorious through unity and faith.</p>
<p><strong>Prayer/Declaration</strong>:<br />
<em>“In Jesus’ name, we reclaim Mount Hermon and every spiritual stronghold. Let unity flow like the dew of Hermon, bringing life and victory to God’s people! May we walk in the power of Christ’s victory, standing together in unity and faith, as we step into the promises of God.”</em></p>
<p>Let this be our prayer and mission as we move forward in victory.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Rebuild The Ancient Ruins In Modern Day America</h2>
<p>In the context of (<a href="https://biblehub.com/isaiah/61-4.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Isaiah 61:4</a>) and (<a href="https://biblehub.com/context/ezekiel/36-33.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ezekiel 36:33-36</a>), the phrase <strong>&#8220;rebuild the ancient ruins&#8221;</strong> has both a literal and a symbolic meaning. In both passages, the authors describe a time of restoration and <strong>renewal for the people of Israel</strong> after a period of desolation, corruption of leadership throughout all aspects their society  leading to injustice and suffering.</p>
<p>After the death burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ these passages now speak to us. Just like it has spoken to previous periods in history leading up to modern day and will speak to future periods of time to come.</p>
<h2>God Rebuilding The Ancient Ruins Has Personal, Societal &amp; Global Benefits:</h2>
<ol>
<li><strong>Restoration of faith</strong> and reverence in God (<a href="https://biblehub.com/isaiah/61-4.htm" target="_new" rel="noopener">Isaiah 61:4</a>): Rebuilding ancient ruins strengthens people&#8217;s belief in God and His divine power, leading to a more spiritually connected society.</li>

<li><strong>Healing for individuals and communities</strong> (<a href="https://biblehub.com/isaiah/61-3.htm" target="_new" rel="noopener">Isaiah 61:3</a>): Rebuilding ancient ruins helps heal emotional, psychological, and spiritual wounds, fostering personal and communal growth.</li>

</ol>
<h2>Ancient &amp; Modern Parallels</h2>
<p>Drawing parallels between the moral decline and corruption described in the book of Ezekiel and the challenges faced in contemporary American society, it is important to recognize that the Bible serves as the ultimate authority. Ezekiel offers a powerful and relevant message for today&#8217;s world, highlighting the consequences of corruption, perversion, and the abuse of power by <strong>corrupt parents</strong>, <strong>freind groups, husbands, wives &amp;</strong> <strong>religious/political leaders</strong>.</p>
<p>Ezekiel condemns the leaders of his time for their failure to uphold God&#8217;s law, for engaging in idolatry, and for exploiting the vulnerable. This condemnation can be seen as a warning to those in power in modern society, who may also be guilty of moral corruption and deception. In both cases, God holds the religious and political elites accountable for their actions and calls for justice and righteousness to prevail.</p>
<p><strong><a href="https://reeseirish.com/21st-century-god-judges-through-ezekiel-archetypes/">God will judge the 21st century through Ezekiel archetypes</a> and forgive through the blood of Jesus.</strong></p>
<p>As we consider the prophetic message of Ezekiel, it is crucial to understand that God has the power to displace corrupt leaders and replace them with individuals who will act with integrity and compassion. From the highest office of the President to the heads of households, God can raise up new leaders who will guide society toward justice, equality, and moral responsibility. These leaders will work to rebuild the &#8220;ancient ruins,&#8221; restoring the spiritual and ethical foundations of society that have been devastated by corruption and moral decay that manifests in <b>family relationships, friends, groups, clubs, religious settings and political settings.</b></p>
<h3>This is not replacement theology. Israel is an example for all believers through the ages (past future &amp; present).</h3>
<p>Indeed, Israel serves as an example for believers, as highlighted in <a href="https://biblehub.com/1_corinthians/10-11.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">1 Corinthians 10:11.</a> This verse emphasizes that the experiences of the Israelites were recorded as lessons for believers &amp; societies to learn from, by guided by &amp; apply in their own lives and policies.</p>
<p>Using Israel&#8217;s history as an example, believers can glean valuable insights into faith, obedience, and the consequences of disobedience. Through these lessons, Christians &amp; societies can better understand the importance of staying true to God&#8217;s commandments and living a life that honors Him.</p>
<p>By recognizing Israel&#8217;s role as an example, believers &amp; societies can grow in their spiritual journey &amp; growth. Drawing from the experiences and wisdom of the Israelites&#8217; history leads to relevant lessons and guidance for all of us today. Resulting in and understanding of God&#8217;s will and purpose for our lives.</p>
<p>It is important to note that the points mentioned previously are not promoting replacement theology. Instead, they highlight how Israel serves as an example for all believers throughout history (past, present, and future). The experiences and lessons learned from Israel can offer valuable insights for people of faith in various contexts.</p>
<h3>Believe &amp; Enter Rest So God Can Work &amp; Rebuild The Ancient Ruins</h3>
<p>In Hebrews 4, the author emphasizes the importance of faith and obedience, drawing on the example of the Israelites who were unable to enter God&#8217;s rest due to their disobedience and unbelief. By learning from Israel&#8217;s example, believers through all ages can remain faithful and obedient to God, thus experiencing the rest and peace that He promises.</p>
<p>So, the ideas presented are not about replacing Israel or its significance in God&#8217;s plan. Rather, they highlight the valuable lessons that can be drawn from Israel&#8217;s experiences, applicable to believers in all times and places, fostering a deeper understanding and connection to God&#8217;s word and His divine plan.</p>
<h2>Addressing the Heart of Corruption Before Rebuilding the Ancient Ruins</h2>
<p>Before we God can rebuild the ancient ruins though humanity, it is crucial to address the pervasive corruption and bad leadership that permeates all aspects of society today just like it did Israel. This article aims to dive deeper into the thoughts and intentions of the human heart, focusing on individuals who may appear righteous outwardly, but harbor darkness within. Jesus Himself warned against such hypocrisy when He said that even looking at a woman with lust is akin to committing adultery, and hating one&#8217;s brother without cause is equal to murder <a href="https://biblehub.com/matthew/5-28.htm" target="_new" rel="noopener">Matthew 5:28</a>, <a href="https://biblehub.com/1_john/3-15.htm" target="_new" rel="noopener">1 John 3:15</a>.</p>
<p>Everyone is guilty but we all must carry our cross and strive to be better by being honest &amp; letting God change us.</p>
<p>By exposing deceptive and manipulative behaviors, such as gaslighting &amp; manipulation, we can begin to confront and dismantle the corrupt systems that hinder the restoration of the ancient ruins. This process requires honesty, introspection, and a commitment to living by biblical principles, recognizing that the Bible is the ultimate authority, not man or AI.</p>
<p>Change starts within each individual, as we genuinely repent and seek forgiveness for our hidden sins of the heart and mind <a href="https://biblehub.com/acts/3-19.htm" target="_new" rel="noopener">Acts 3:19</a>. As more people acknowledge their shortcomings and strive to follow God&#8217;s teachings, a ripple effect will occur, transforming the hearts and minds of society as a whole.</p>
<p>The process may be challenging and uncomfortable, but it is a necessary step toward healing and rebuilding. As we remove the rot that lies beneath the surface, the foundation for rebuilding the ancient ruins will become stronger, resulting in a society that reflects the values of justice, compassion, and righteousness.</p>
<p>We must first address the corruption and bad leadership that exist within the hearts of individuals before the ancient ruins can be rebuilt. By exposing hidden sins and embracing the transformative power of repentance and forgiveness, we can create a more just and righteous world, reflecting the love and mercy of our Creator.</p>
<h2>Corrupt Patterns Exist Among Family, Friends, Parents &amp; Religious/Political Leaders</h2>
<h3>Family:</h3>

<div class="result-streaming markdown prose w-full break-words dark:prose-invert light">
<p>One of the most destructive forces within families can be rivalry, which often stems from favoritism and the desire to pass on the family name or seed. This competition for attention and validation can lead to selfishness, corruption, and the breakdown of family bonds. Such behavior contradicts the biblical teachings of love, compassion, and unity <a href="https://biblehub.com/1_corinthians/13-4.htm" target="_new" rel="noopener">1 Corinthians 13:4-7</a>.</p>
<p>When family members are pitted against one another, they resort to manipulation, gaslighting  deceit, and underhanded tactics in order to gain the upper hand, looking good on the outside while demonizing their family rival. These actions can cause deep emotional wounds and lasting psychological damage. It is essential to recognize the dangers of family rivalry and strive to create an environment where each family member is valued and supported equally.</p>
<h3>Husbands &amp; Wives:</h3>
<p>Deceptive behaviors that can pervade marriages. Some wives might belittle and control their husbands due to personal insecurities, a disturbing reality that mirrors the adulteress&#8217; actions in <a href="https://biblehub.com/ezekiel/23.htm" target="_new" rel="noopener">Ezekiel 23</a>. Such actions not only harm relationships but also contradict biblical teachings such as those in <a href="https://biblehub.com/revelation/2-20.htm" target="_new" rel="noopener">Revelation 2:20</a>.</p>
<p>These patterns follow the exact corruption of the Biden administration.</p>
<p>USA is falling apart because of this dynamic.</p>

<h3>Friends:</h3>
<p>In today&#8217;s world, we witness numerous examples of bad leadership among friends that not only impact individuals but also society as a whole. It is crucial to recognize the influence of corrupt friends, groups &amp; clubs that have detrimental effects on the lives of those they associate with. Friend groups often have an individual who sets the tone and makes decisions for the group. Unfortunately, some of these leaders manipulate and divide people within the group, seeking more power and influence. They may even engage in adulterous relationships, gossip, gaslghting &amp; deformation in order to instill jealousy and promote their domination while ostracizing and downplaying others in the group (<a href="https://biblehub.com/proverbs/6-32.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Proverbs 6:32</a>).</p>
<h3>Parents:</h3>
<p>In today&#8217;s society, we see numerous examples of problematic religious and political leaders. Corrupt parents follow the same exact patterns.  For instance, corrupt parents who sacrifice their children&#8217;s well-being and future by engaging in manipulative, domineering, and belittling behaviors have caused untold trauma and lifelong psychological issues. These parents not only include those who advocate for abortion and gender confusion <strong>(<em>that&#8217;s too obvious of a a problem to judge and address in this article</em>)</strong> but rather many parents seem good, responsible &amp; maybe go to church on Sunday, but they in reality perpetuate cycles of emotional and spiritual abuse, manipulation, gaslighting, sexualization, molestation &amp; ostracization to their children &amp; get away with it through domination and gaslighting. Drawing from the ultimate authority of the Bible, it is evident that these individuals have strayed from the path of righteousness, and their actions have far-reaching consequences.</p>
<h3>Religious &amp; Political Leaders:</h3>
<p>Similarly, corrupt political and religious leaders exploit their positions of power to manipulate the masses and protect immoral actions. They promote destructive policies like abortion turning a blind eye &amp; even promoting the sins that undermine the moral fabric of society. These leaders have lost sight of their duty to uphold justice, compassion, and righteousness, as taught by the Bible. Their actions sow discord and suffering, leaving communities in turmoil and despair.</p>
<p>Religious leaders include cult leaders, and these political leaders include people like Joe Biden but <strong><em>those examples too obvious of a a problem to judge and address in this article, </em></strong>let&#8217;s rather focus on the corrupt leaders that seem good and say all of the &#8220;right things&#8221; but in reality are corrupt. The obviously corrupt ones operate in the same patterns as the seemingly good one, the only difference is they are on a different part of the spectrum and/or are better at playing the game.</p>
<p>However, it is crucial to remember that, through the Grace of God, redemption is possible for both the victims and the perpetrators of such corruption. By acknowledging their sins and seeking forgiveness, individuals can embark on a path of healing and spiritual renewal. In this journey, they may find the strength to challenge the status quo, confront their own shortcomings, and work towards the betterment of themselves and their communities.</p>
<h3>Let&#8217;s Rebuild The Ancient Ruins</h3>
<p>As we strive to address the moral decay and the domineering gaslighting that pervades our society, let us not shy away from the harsh truths presented by the Bible. Instead, let us embrace its teachings, allowing them to guide us in our pursuit of justice, righteousness, and compassion. By doing so, we can <strong>&#8220;rebuild the ancient ruins&#8221;</strong> of our spiritual and ethical foundations, fostering a society that is truly reflective of God&#8217;s love and mercy.</p>
<p>But first we must address the problems at their root.</p>
<h2>Why do family members do this to one another?</h2>
<p>The bitter truth is that rivalries, driven by the desire for dominance and the privilege of carrying on the family name, can lead to corruption, ostracization, deceit, and gaslighting. Such dysfunction is deeply rooted in the sinful nature of humanity, as the Bible has repeatedly warned us <a href="https://biblehub.com/james/4-1.htm" target="_new" rel="noopener">James 4:1</a>.</p>
<p>Indeed, the destructive consequences of family feuds are evident in biblical accounts such as the story of Cain and Abel <a href="https://biblehub.com/genesis/4-8.htm" target="_new" rel="noopener">Genesis 4:8</a>, where jealousy led to the first murder in human history. This tragic example serves as a stark reminder that unchecked envy and strife within families can result in disastrous outcomes.</p>
<p>However, the Bible also offers hope and guidance for healing these rifts. Through repentance and forgiveness, family members can find reconciliation and restoration in God&#8217;s boundless love <a href="https://biblehub.com/colossians/3-13.htm" target="_new" rel="noopener">Colossians 3:13</a>. By embracing biblical principles, families can overcome the destructive forces of jealousy, deceit, and rivalry that often tear them apart.</p>
<p>Ultimately, the key to mending broken family relationships is to turn to the ultimate authority: the Bible. By placing our faith in God&#8217;s teachings, we can find the strength and wisdom needed to resist the temptations of envy, deceit, and manipulation. Instead of perpetuating destructive patterns, we can choose to foster love, compassion, and forgiveness within our families.</p>
<p>To overcome the pain and damage caused by family rivalries and corruption, we must look to the Bible for guidance and direction. By recognizing the destructive nature of our actions and embracing the transformative power of God&#8217;s love, we can work together to create harmonious, supportive, and loving family environments, where every member is valued and cherished.</p>
<h2><strong>&#8220;Why Would Husbands do this to their Wives and Why Would Wives do this to Their Husbands?&#8221;</strong></h2>
<p>Deceptive behaviors can be deeply ingrained, and their roots aren&#8217;t always discernible at first glance. Wives, for instance, can fall into the trap of controlling and belittling their husbands, fueled by their own insecurities. This heartbreaking reality mirrors the disdain the adulteress shows towards her spouse, as depicted in <a href="https://biblehub.com/ezekiel/23.htm" target="_new" rel="noopener">Ezekiel 23</a>. These actions are not only damaging to relationships, but they also stand in stark contrast to the biblical teachings that condemn such behavior, as seen in <a href="https://biblehub.com/revelation/2-20.htm" target="_new" rel="noopener">Revelation 2:20</a>.</p>
<p>On the other hand, husbands, too, have been known to misuse the spiritual authority bestowed upon them. As highlighted in <a href="https://biblehub.com/ephesians/5-23.htm" target="_new" rel="noopener">Ephesians 5:23</a>, they are meant to lead with love, but some turn it into a tool for manipulation and control. These men become hyper-vigilant, mistrustful, and isolate their wives, fearing outside influences. This toxic dynamic can lead to a form of Stockholm Syndrome, where the wife tragically defends her oppressor.</p>
<p>In conclusion, our ultimate guide should always be love and mutual respect, as directed in <a href="https://biblehub.com/ephesians/4-2.htm" target="_new" rel="noopener">Ephesians 4:2-3</a>. It&#8217;s crucial to reject these corrupt practices, uphold biblical values, and strive for healthier relationships.</p>
<h2>Why Would People Do This to their Own Friends &amp; Groups?</h2>
<p>A pressing question often arises when examining the actions of group leaders, friend leaders, and club leaders: why would they betray and manipulate their own friends and members? The answer, deeply rooted in human nature, can be traced back to their hunger for power and their fear of losing control. These leaders feel threatened by others who also have a purpose within the group, and their insecurities drive them to divide, cheat, and ostracize people in order to maintain their dominance (<a href="https://biblehub.com/context/james/4-1.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">James 4:1-2</a>).</p>
<p>The Bible, as the ultimate authority on morality and human behavior, offers insights into why individuals succumb to such selfish tendencies. In Proverbs 16:18, it warns against the perils of pride and arrogance, which can lead people to disregard the well-being of others in pursuit of their own interests. Additionally, Jesus taught that we should treat others as we would like to be treated, emphasizing the importance of empathy and compassion (<a href="https://biblehub.com/matthew/7-12.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Matthew 7:12</a>).</p>
<p>Nevertheless, there is hope for those who recognize their wrongdoings and seek redemption. Through genuine repentance and a commitment to living according to God&#8217;s teachings, even the most misguided leaders can find forgiveness and transformation (<a href="https://biblehub.com/1_john/1-9.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">1 John 1:9</a>). By turning away from their selfish pursuits and embracing a life of humility and selflessness, they can begin to repair the damage inflicted upon their friends and members (<a href="https://biblehub.com/context/philippians/2-3.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Philippians 2:3-4</a>).</p>
<p>It is vital that we understand the motivations behind the harmful actions of group leaders, friend leaders, and club leaders. By acknowledging the Bible&#8217;s authority and applying its teachings, we can work together to create a society where friendships and group dynamics are based on mutual respect, understanding, and love (<a href="https://biblehub.com/context/colossians/3-12.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Colossians 3:12-14</a>). As we embrace the transformative power of God&#8217;s grace, we can overcome the challenges posed by selfish leaders and build stronger, more compassionate communities.</p>
<h2>Why Would Parents Do This to their Own Children?</h2>
<p>One might wonder why some parents would bring harm to their own children, inflicting emotional and psychological pain upon the most vulnerable in their care. Rooted in biblical teachings, the answer lies in the selfishness and unbridled lust (licentiousness: <a href="https://kingjamesbibledictionary.com/StrongsNo/G766/lasciviousness" target="_blank" rel="noopener">aselgeia| ἀσέλγεια | G766</a> | ) <a href="https://biblehub.com/jude/1-4.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jude 1:4</a> of these individuals, who prioritize their desires above the well-being of their offspring (<a href="https://biblehub.com/jude/1-4.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jude 1:4</a>). The Book of Jude specifically warns against such behavior, highlighting the danger of Christian parents who turn the grace of God into licentiousness (unbridled lust) and defile themselves with their fantasies and &#8220;dreams&#8221;(<a href="https://biblehub.com/jude/1-8.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jude 1:8</a>). These &#8220;dreams&#8221; (day dreams) usually include grandeur images of themselves and sexual fantasies of other men&#8217;s wives and even younger women.  (<a href="https://biblehub.com/jude/1-16.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jude 1:16</a>).</p>
<p>On the outside these people seem responsible, loving, they go to church on Sunday, they provide for their family celebrate Christmas etc&#8230; But these people, driven by their insatiable desires, neglect their sacred responsibility to nurture, guide, and protect their children from spiritual and emotional harm, and exasperate it (<a href="https://biblehub.com/ephesians/6-4.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ephesians 6:4</a>). They become blinded by their own self-interest, betraying the biblical principles of love (<a href="https://biblehub.com/context/1_corinthians/13-4.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">1 Corinthians 13:4-7</a>), compassion (<a href="https://biblehub.com/colossians/3-12.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Colossians 3:12</a>), and selflessness (<a href="https://biblehub.com/philippians/2-4.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Philippians 2:4</a>). This tragic situation not only harms the children directly affected but also weakens the moral fabric of society and undermines the sanctity of the family unit (Genesis 2:24).</p>
<h3>Repentance &amp; Forgiveness is Possible</h3>
<p>Nevertheless, the Bible offers hope for those who seek redemption and change. Through genuine repentance (<a href="https://biblehub.com/acts/3-19.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Acts 3:19</a>) and a commitment to living according to God&#8217;s teachings, even the most wayward parents can find forgiveness and restoration (<a href="https://biblehub.com/1_john/1-9.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">1 John 1:9</a>). By turning away from their selfish pursuits and embracing a life of humility (<a href="https://biblehub.com/1_peter/5-5.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">1 Peter 5:5</a>), self-sacrifice (<a href="https://biblehub.com/romans/12-1.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Romans 12:1</a>), and spiritual growth (<a href="https://biblehub.com/2_peter/3-18.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2 Peter 3:18</a>), they can begin to repair the damage inflicted upon their children and themselves. Many parents think because they pay for their children&#8217;s food and shelter that they are sacrificing enough. The reality is, manipulative parents leverage their provision over the child&#8217;s head and on the inside are sacrificing their children to Molech (<a href="https://biblehub.com/leviticus/18-21.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Leviticus 18:21</a>).</p>
<p>It is vital that we recognize the authority of the Bible in addressing the harsh reality of parental selfishness and its devastating effects on children. By embracing the transformative power of God&#8217;s grace (<a href="https://biblehub.com/ephesians/2-8.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ephesians 2:8</a>) and applying biblical principles to our lives, we can work together to build a society where families are strengthened, children are cherished, and the love of God prevails (Psalm 127:3).</p>
<h2>Why Would Religious &amp; Political Leaders Do This to the People They Are Supposed to Serve?</h2>
<p>The question of why some religious and political leaders betray their duty to serve and protect their constituents is a deeply troubling one. Relying on the ultimate authority of the Bible, the answer can be found in their selfish pursuit of power, as described in <a href="https://biblehub.com/2_peter/2-10.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2 Peter 2:10</a>. These leaders despise the authority of God and angels, believing themselves to be the ultimate authority, and succumbing to their own lusts for control and influence.</p>
<p>Such leaders forsake their moral compass, turning away from the teachings of the Bible, and prioritizing their personal ambitions above the needs of the people they have pledged to serve. They exploit their positions for personal gain, manipulating the vulnerable and disregarding the principles of justice (<a href="https://biblehub.com/micah/6-8.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Micah 6:8</a>), righteousness (<a href="https://biblehub.com/psalms/106-3.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Psalm 106:3</a>), and compassion (<a href="https://biblehub.com/colossians/3-12.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Colossians 3:12</a>). The consequences of their actions reverberate throughout society, eroding trust, and causing pain and suffering.</p>
<h3>Some of These Leaders Can Repent &amp; Change Still</h3>
<p>Despite the harsh reality of their misdeeds, the Bible offers hope for redemption and transformation. For leaders who are willing to acknowledge their failings and turn to God&#8217;s teachings, there is the opportunity to embrace humility (<a href="https://biblehub.com/1_peter/5-5.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">1 Peter 5:5</a>), repentance (<a href="https://biblehub.com/acts/3-19.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Acts 3:19</a>), and a renewed commitment to selfless service (<a href="https://biblehub.com/galatians/5-13.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Galatians 5:13</a>). By doing so, they can begin to repair the damage they have inflicted and work towards fostering a society grounded in the values of love (<a href="https://biblehub.com/context/1_corinthians/13-4.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">1 Corinthians 13:4-7</a>), justice (<a href="https://biblehub.com/isaiah/30-18.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Isaiah 30:18</a>), and mercy (<a href="https://biblehub.com/james/2-13.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">James 2:13</a>).</p>
<p>It is essential to recognize the Bible&#8217;s authority in addressing the issue of selfish and corrupt religious and political leaders. By drawing on the wisdom of the Scriptures and embracing the power of God&#8217;s grace <a href="https://biblehub.com/ephesians/2-8.htm" target="_new" rel="noopener">Ephesians 2:8</a>, we can strive to create a world where leaders serve with integrity <a href="https://biblehub.com/proverbs/11-3.htm" target="_new" rel="noopener">Proverbs 11:3</a> and compassion <a href="https://biblehub.com/1_peter/3-8.htm" target="_new" rel="noopener">1 Peter 3:8</a>, fostering a society that is guided by the principles of justice, righteousness, and love <a href="https://biblehub.com/psalms/33-5.htm" target="_new" rel="noopener">Psalm 33:5</a>.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>What Is The Solution? How Will God Rebuild The Ancient Ruins?</h2>
<p>In the face of moral decay and societal challenges, one might ask what the solution is and how God will rebuild the ancient ruins. Drawing from the Bible&#8217;s ultimate authority, the answer lies in God&#8217;s divine intervention and the transformative power of repentance and forgiveness. God will expose and judge evil, as stated in multiple scriptures, while Jesus will forgive those who genuinely repent <a href="https://biblehub.com/romans/5-20.htm" target="_new" rel="noopener">Romans 5:20</a>. The desire of God is that none should perish, as expressed in <a href="https://biblehub.com/2_peter/3-9.htm" target="_new" rel="noopener">2 Peter 3:9</a>. However, for those who refuse to repent, the Bible warns of the deepest darkness reserved forever <a href="https://biblehub.com/jude/1-13.htm" target="_new" rel="noopener">Jude 1:13</a>.</p>
<p>Furthermore, Jesus promises to heal the people who have been treated unjustly and to raise them up from the ashes, making them the head and not the tail <a href="https://biblehub.com/isaiah/61-3.htm" target="_new" rel="noopener">Isaiah 61:3</a>. This restoration will not be achieved through their own power but through the power of God, enabling them to overcome adversity and fulfill their God-given potential. This divine intervention will serve as a beacon of hope and a testament to God&#8217;s love and mercy, inspiring others to seek the same redemption and healing.</p>
<h3>Conclusion</h3>
<p>In conclusion, the solution to rebuilding the ancient ruins lies in embracing the teachings of the Bible and relying on the authority of God. By recognizing the consequences of sin and the transformative power of Jesus&#8217;s blood, repentance and forgiveness, we can work together with the power of God to create a society that reflects the values of justice, compassion, and righteousness. As individuals and communities are healed and restored through the power of God, the ancient ruins will be rebuilt, and the world will witness the enduring love and mercy of the Creator <a href="https://biblehub.com/isaiah/61-4.htm" target="_new" rel="noopener">Isaiah 61:4</a>.</p>

<p><em>The Spirit of the <strong>LORD</strong> will rest on him— the Spirit of <strong>wisdom</strong> and of <strong>understanding</strong>, the Spirit of <strong>counsel</strong> and of <strong>might</strong>, the Spirit of the <strong>knowledge</strong> and <strong>fear of the LORD</strong>.

<p><em>From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings, and peals of thunder. In front of the throne, seven lamps were blazing. These are the <strong>seven spirits of God</strong>. (<a href="https://biblehub.com/context/revelation/1-4.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Revelation 1:4-5</a>)</em></p>
<p>There are 7 Spirits before God&#8217;s throne, 7 angels, 7 Churches, 7 bowls of judgment, etc&#8230;</p>
<h2>The Holy Spirit is One and the Church is One</h2>
<p>Although the Church is one and the Holy Spirit is one, why then is there this distinction of separation? Surprisingly God has allowed science to peer into the mysteries of light in order to help illustrate.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-519 aligncenter" src="https://reeseirish.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Reese-Irish-com-light.png" alt="Reese-Irish-com-light" width="821" height="604" srcset="https://reeseirish.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Reese-Irish-com-light.png 1224w, https://reeseirish.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Reese-Irish-com-light-300x221.png 300w, https://reeseirish.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Reese-Irish-com-light-1024x753.png 1024w, https://reeseirish.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Reese-Irish-com-light-768x565.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 821px) 100vw, 821px" /></p>
<p>Read:<em> <a href="https://reeseirish.com/bible-rainbow-meaning-gods-covenant-noah/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jesus is the light of the world and the 7 Churches are the 7 different manifestations of that pure white light of Jesus just like there are 7 colors in the rainbow.</a></em></p>
<p>There are also 7 evil spirits that are antagonistic to the 7 spirits of God. The details about this are found in the stories of the Israelites entering the promised land where there were the <strong>7 tribes of Canaan</strong>.</p>
<p><em>When the LORD your God brings you into the land you are entering to possess and drives out before you many nations—the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, seven nations larger and stronger than you. (<a href="https://biblehub.com/deuteronomy/7-1.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Deuteronomy 7:1</a>)</em></p>
<h2>The 7 Evil Spirits Of Canaan (The Promise Land)</h2>
<ol>
<li><strong>Hittites-</strong> Hittite means <strong>&#8220;son of Terror&#8221;</strong> as they were descendants from &#8220;Heth&#8221; which means terror. Terror is an extreme manifestation of fear. This evil spirit works on the emotional and mental state of a human being. <em>(Source: <a href="https://shamah-elim.info/hittite.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://shamah-elim.info/hittite.htm</a>)</em></li>
<li><strong>Girgashites- </strong>Grigashite means <strong>&#8220;clay dweller&#8221;</strong>. This spirit influences people to focus on the material world and have a disdain for the spiritual world. Earthly, or Carnal mind that cannot see the behind the scene workings of the good and evil spiritual activities that influence our world. <em>(Source: <a href="https://shamah-elim.info/hittite.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://shamah-elim.info/hittite.htm</a>)</em></li>
<li><strong>Amorites-</strong>Amorite means <strong>&#8220;mountain dweller&#8221;</strong>. Just like mountains dominate and create low valleys, people under this spirit dominate others in order to practice self-exaltation and dominance. Another Hebrew word that makes up the word &#8220;Amorite&#8221; is &#8220;Amar&#8221; which means to utter or say, meaning they want others to utter their name, (fame/popularity seekers). <em>(Source: <a href="https://shamah-elim.info/amorite.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://shamah-elim.info/amorite.htm</a>)</em></li>
<li><strong>Canaanites-</strong> Canaanite means <strong>&#8220;low lands people&#8221;</strong>. This evil spirit encourages addictions and sexual perversions. This is one of the reasons Sodom and Gomorrah are referred to as some of the cities of Canaan in Genesis 10:19. <em>(Source: <a href="https://shamah-elim.info/cananite.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://shamah-elim.info/cananite.htm</a>)</em></li>
<li><strong>Perizzites-</strong> Perizzite means <strong>&#8220;belonging to the villiage&#8221;</strong>. Villages connotate &#8220;smallness&#8221;. People that grow up in a village are exposed to limited opportunities and arrested development. This spirit produces a limited vision causing a person to see themselves as insignificant leading to laziness and poverty. <em>(Source: <a href="https://shamah-elim.info/perizite.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://shamah-elim.info/perizite.htm</a>)</em></li>
<li><strong>Hivites- </strong>Hivite means <strong>&#8220;villiager&#8221;</strong>. This is very similar to the Perizzite in the sense of &#8220;smallness&#8221;. But the Hebrew word Hivite is derived from the word &#8220;chavvah&#8221; (the original version of the name &#8220;Eve&#8221;) meaning &#8220;life&#8221; or &#8220;living&#8221;. The Hivite spirit encourages people to &#8220;live it up!&#8221; Unlike the Perizzite with a limited vision leading to poverty the Hivite is instead &#8220;lives it up&#8221; (Hedonism). <em>(Source: <a href="https://shamah-elim.info/hivite.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://shamah-elim.info/hivite.htm</a>)</em></li>
<li><strong>Jebusites-</strong> Jebusite means <strong>&#8220;thresher&#8221;</strong>. This spirit encourages others to tread or stop on other people. They cause others humiliation or to feel small in order to enforce certain social casts in order to elevate themselves in social circles. <em>(Source: <a href="https://shamah-elim.info/jebusite.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://shamah-elim.info/jebusite.htm</a>)</em></li>
</ol>
<p>Hopefully, this gives a good explanation of the Spiritual battle we find ourselves in as followers of Jesus.</p>

<p>Jesus coming in the flesh, dying, and resurrecting from the dead ushered in a new age. God made known the mysteries that were previously hidden within the old covenant.</p>
<p><em><span id="en-NIV-29491" class="text Col-1-25"><a href="https://biblehub.com/context/colossians/1-25.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Colossians 1:25-27</strong></a> I have become its servant by the commission God gave me to present to you the word of God in its fullness—</span> <span id="en-NIV-29492" class="text Col-1-26"><sup class="versenum">26 </sup>the <strong>mystery</strong> that has been kept hidden for ages and generations but is now disclosed to the Lord’s people.</span> <span id="en-NIV-29493" class="text Col-1-27"><sup class="versenum">27 </sup>To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this <strong>mystery</strong>, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.</span></em></p>
<p>The mystery is Christ is in you, the hope of glory. This mystery has opened the flood gates of wisdom that were hidden within the old covenant.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">The Mystery of Spiritual Warfare</h2>
<p><em><a href="https://biblehub.com/hebrews/10-1.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Hebrews 10:1</strong></a> The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming—not the realities themselves.</em></p>
<p>For this reason, the battle is now not against flesh and blood but rather against principalities and powers. In the old testament, the war was a battle against flesh and blood and the redemptive power of Christ was not in effect the way it is now.</p>
<p>In the old testament, God ordered His people to wipe out the 7 tribes in Cannan. Even the women and children. But now God does not order such commands and saves them through Jesus.</p>
<p>Today, the 7 tribes in Cannan each represent 7 specific principalities (spirits) that are at work through people, not the people themselves. As you look at the Hebrew language you will get a detailed insight into how each principality works. This is a mystery that Jesus has unlocked for New Covenant believers.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1 style="text-align: center;">A Day Is Like 1,000 years and 1,000 Years Are Like A Day</h1>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Note:</strong></span> This article is my opinion based on what I have learned about science and how it parallels the Bible.  It seems as if science continually proves the Bible to be true time and time again. What you read below appears to me to be another example of that.</em></p>
<p><a href="https://biblehub.com/2_peter/3-8.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">2 Peter 3:8</a> expresses this truth. Many take this as a general lesson that time doesn&#8217;t mean much to God, I&#8217;m not saying that is wrong but I believe God is being very specific with this statement as well. Jesus&#8217;s first public miracle of turning water into wine is a miracle of time because fermentation is a process that only time can accomplish.</p>
<p>Time is relative to gravity and gravity is relative to mass. Time goes slightly faster on the moon than it does on Earth because the moon has a less gravitational pull. Atoms are the smallest bit of matter and each atom has its own gravitational pull. Just like each planet, star, and sun moon does.</p>
<p>Time goes much faster at the atomic level because atoms have a much smaller gravitational pull than say planet or star. I believe the Bible tells us the time scale from the dimension we humans are on to the atomic level in which humans are made of. 1 day is 1,000 years and a 1,000 years is a day. I believe the heavens have different time scales, hence eternity.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">In The Bible, The Word &#8220;Heavens&#8221; In The Greek &#8216;oo-ran-os&#8217; &#8220;οὐρανός&#8221; According to Thayer is defined as Heavens, Universe, Sky, Starry Heavens, etc&#8230;</h2>
<p>As you may know, the earth rotates around the sun as do other planets. What may be a surprise to you is the structure of atoms mimics the structure of solar systems. Atoms are the smallest bit of matter down to the pure element. There are hydrogen atoms, oxygen atoms, helium atoms, nitrogen atoms, gold atoms, etc&#8230; Just like there are hydrogen stars (suns), oxygen stars (suns)s, helium stars (suns), etc&#8230;</p>
<p>Each element that is burned has a specific light signature that puts off a specific light frequency. As a result, we are able to know what each star is made out of and what element it is burning. Just in case you do not know, stars are other suns that have their own solar system. Hence <strong>&#8216;oo-ran-os&#8217; &#8220;οὐρανός&#8221; means &#8220;Starry Heavens&#8221;.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-381" src="https://reeseirish.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/atom-solar-system.jpg" alt="" width="720" height="654" srcset="https://reeseirish.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/atom-solar-system.jpg 720w, https://reeseirish.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/atom-solar-system-300x273.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px" /></p>
<p>I am not saying atoms are miniature solar systems like the image above. But I am saying that they resemble each other and share similar properties. They are different because they are either A. In different dimensions or B. On the opposite ends of the scale within the dimension, God placed humans.</p>
<p>You and I are made out of atoms. If you are a believer you and I are the temples of God. <a href="https://reeseirish.com/your-body-is-the-temple-the-old-covenant-a-shadow-of-things-to-come/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Your physical body is the temple of God</a> in this particular dimension. Jesus Christ is our High Priest who passed through the heavens in a temple not made with hands. Thus giving us access by His blood into the Heavens.</p>
<p><em><span id="en-NIV-30130" class="text Heb-9-24"><sup class="versenum"><a href="https://biblehub.com/context/hebrews/9-24.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Hebrews 9:24-26</strong></a>  </sup>For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made with human hands that were only a copy of the true one; he entered heaven itself, now to appear for us in God’s presence.</span> <span id="en-NIV-30131" class="text Heb-9-25"><sup class="versenum">25 </sup>Nor did he enter heaven to offer himself again and again, the way the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood that is not his own.</span> <span id="en-NIV-30132" class="text Heb-9-26"><sup class="versenum">26 </sup>Otherwise Christ would have had to suffer many times since the creation of the world. But he has appeared once and for all at the culmination of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of himself.</span></em></p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">The 3rd Heaven: In The Body Or Out Of The Body?</h2>
<p>When Paul was caught up in the 3rd Heaven <a href="https://biblehub.com/2_corinthians/12-2.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">2 Corinthians 12:2</a>. He did not know if He was in his body or outside of His body. I believe He was either A. In his body on the subatomic level or B. Was in <a href="http://www.physics.org/article-questions.asp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">superposition</a> inside and outside of His own body (temple). It was un-lawful for Him to explain what He saw because he was transcending the laws of the current dimension you and I live in and he was passing through the Heavens by the power of the blood of Jesus. Kind of like what angels can do I guess, but different.</p>
<p>You and I are made of atoms and atoms are mostly empty space. The atomic Bohr model below is the structure of an atom. If the orbits around the nucleus were to scale the rings would be miles apart. Why is this important? Look into the sky into space (the starry heavens), and you notice that the universe is mainly made up of empty space. Just like atoms. And just like us. WE have an entire universe inside of us and it appears we are just as big as we are small (maybe).</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-380 aligncenter" src="https://reeseirish.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Bohr-Model-Atom.png" alt="Bohr Model Atom" width="225" height="225" srcset="https://reeseirish.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Bohr-Model-Atom.png 225w, https://reeseirish.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Bohr-Model-Atom-150x150.png 150w" sizes="(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Jesus Said We Will Do Greater Things Than He Did</h2>
<p>I do not claim to know what Jesus meant by this saying but I believe we have an entire universe inside of us. Our bodies are the temple of God and we are fearfully and wonderfully made. Is it possible we can tap into miracle powers through Jesus Christ through the temples of our bodies that seem to have multidimensional properties?</p>
<p>I have faith that this is the case. Jesus Christ to redeem our bodies (<a href="https://biblehub.com/context/romans/8-23.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Romans 8:23-25)</a>. He must think our inter-dimensional bodies are important and I think this article supports that and opens up the reality <strong>that the kingdom of God is inside of you</strong>. <a href="https://biblehub.com/luke/17-21.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Luke 17:21 KJV</a></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1 style="text-align: center;">The Temple Of The Old Covenant Is a Shadow Of Things To Come</h1>
<p><em><a href="https://biblehub.com/hebrews/10-1.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Hebrews 10:1</strong></a> The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming—not the realities themselves. For this reason, it can never, by the same sacrifices repeated endlessly year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship.</em></p>
<p>All of the physical things mentioned in the old covenant (i.e. water, land, mountains, rivers, the temple, sky, <a href="https://reeseirish.com/ecclesiastes-1020-spiritual-birds-carry-emotional-messages-among-humans/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">birds</a>, etc&#8230;) are real and literal but now in the new covenant, these physical things are made as an illustration of the realities we have as individuals in the spirit realm now.</p>
<p>Because Jesus came, died, and was resurrected from the dead, He ushered in a new age and the new covenant in which a temple as a building is no longer needed for us to be cleansed from our sins to worship God. He made it very clear that the temple is our body(s).</p>
<p>There were two curtains that separated the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place. Only the High Priest was able to go past the curtains with the shedding of the blood of bulls and goats. These things are only a shadow of things to come in Christ in the New Covenant.</p>
<p>The blood of Jesus though cleanses our conscience so we can enter the Holy Place in the heavenly temple of our bodies. (Humans are in two dimensions, the Spiritual and the physical).</p>
<p><em><span id="en-NIV-30129" class="text Heb-9-23"><sup class="versenum"><a href="https://biblehub.com/context/hebrews/9-23.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Hebrews 9:23-24</strong></a> 23 </sup>It was necessary, then, for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these sacrifices, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.</span> <span id="en-NIV-30130" class="text Heb-9-24"><sup class="versenum">24 </sup>For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made with human hands that were only a copy of the true one; he entered heaven itself, now to appear for us in God’s presence.</span></em></p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">The Kingdom Of God Is Within You Through a Clean Conscience</h2>
<p>When you accept and believe that your sins are forgiven Jesus&#8217;s blood cleanses your conscience and gives access to heavenly realities you can experience in the temple of your body. You step into a realm of peace and power that gives believers the authority to perform miracles and experience the Love of God in a personal way.</p>
<p><em><span class="text Heb-9-11"><sup class="versenum"><a href="https://biblehub.com/context/hebrews/9-11.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Hebrews 9:11-14</strong></a> 11 </sup>But when Christ came as high priest of the good things that are now already here,<sup class="footnote" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 0.625em; line-height: 22px; position: relative; vertical-align: top; top: 0px;" data-fn="#fen-NIV-30117a" data-link="[&lt;a href=&quot;#fen-NIV-30117a&quot; title=&quot;See footnote a&quot;&gt;a&lt;/a&gt;]">[<a title="See footnote a" href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hebrews+9&amp;version=NIV#fen-NIV-30117a">a</a>]</sup> he went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle that is not made with human hands, that is to say, is not a part of this creation.</span> <span id="en-NIV-30118" class="text Heb-9-12"><sup class="versenum">12 </sup>He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves, but he entered the Most Holy Place once and for all by his own blood, thus obtaining<sup class="footnote" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 0.625em; line-height: 22px; position: relative; vertical-align: top; top: 0px;" data-fn="#fen-NIV-30118b" data-link="[&lt;a href=&quot;#fen-NIV-30118b&quot; title=&quot;See footnote b&quot;&gt;b&lt;/a&gt;]">[<a title="See footnote b" href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hebrews+9&amp;version=NIV#fen-NIV-30118b">b</a>]</sup> eternal redemption.</span> <span id="en-NIV-30119" class="text Heb-9-13"><sup class="versenum">13 </sup>The blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkled on those who are ceremonially unclean sanctify them so that they are outwardly clean.</span> <span id="en-NIV-30120" class="text Heb-9-14"><sup class="versenum">14 </sup>How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death,<sup class="footnote" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 0.625em; line-height: 22px; position: relative; vertical-align: top; top: 0px;" data-fn="#fen-NIV-30120c" data-link="[&lt;a href=&quot;#fen-NIV-30120c&quot; title=&quot;See footnote c&quot;&gt;c&lt;/a&gt;]">[<a title="See footnote c" href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hebrews+9&amp;version=NIV#fen-NIV-30120c">c</a>]</sup> so that we may serve the living God!</span></em></p>

<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>TRANSCRIPT:</strong></span></p>
<p>0:00<br />
Hey, how&#8217;s it going everybody? In this video, I&#8217;m going to be going over some stuff that you can&#8217;t unlearn. So I want to warn you. If you watch this video to the end, your perspective will change forever. And you can&#8217;t unlearn this, and some of this stuff, some people I know probably won&#8217;t be able to handle it. So I want to warn you before you watch this video, so I need to open it up, you&#8217;ll be shocked at this perspective, because it&#8217;s surprising on what this Truth brings to light and how it&#8217;s brought to light. So I&#8217;m going to start it off by talking about how the Bible is a spiritual book. Now, the Old Testament is full of a bunch of different wisdom and knowledge and symbolism. Although these things did happen in the flesh. You know, when Christ came and died for our sins, what he did, he brought us into a new age. So when we look at the Old Testament, now, we can spiritualize this book, and see the spiritual meanings behind all sorts of things like mountains, the sea, the desert, all these things have spiritual implications to our internal, spiritual walk in life. So the one thing that I thought was really interesting, was the spiritual meaning of birds. Now, if you read Ecclesiastes 1020 Solomon says, to not think negatively about kings or, or rich people based, take a look what Solomon says about birds in Ecclesiastes 1020. Curse not the king, not in my thought, and curse not the rich in thy bed chamber, for a bird of the air shall carry the voice in that which hath wings shall tell the matter. Now, let&#8217;s do a little deeper study here on the word bird here, just to make sure he&#8217;s actually saying bird because if you have a carnal mind, this doesn&#8217;t make sense. You know, a bird can&#8217;t carry your thoughts or your voice to humans and talk to them. Um, so I like to use chat Bible here. It&#8217;s an awesome tool, you can get all these different versions of the same verse, and go into the coordinates curse, not the king. No, not my thought and curse, not the rich in that bedchamber for a bird of the air shall carry the voice. And that was Hathaway and should tell the matter. So let&#8217;s look at the word bird. So this is why I like this toy, you can go into the coordinates. The Old Testament is written in Hebrew. So you&#8217;re gonna get the Hebrew word here. And the New Testaments written in Greek. So but right now, this is an Old Testament verse. So this is a Hebrew word. And the definition is pretty straightforward. flying creature, fowl, insect bird fowl, birds, wings, insects, winged insects. The driver breaks definition bird, as covered with feathers, feathers covering with wings. So yeah, it means bird, you know. So I find that really interesting. So this is a verse that personally for me, really has opened up my eyes to the spiritual realm and, and what the Bible can actually really mean. Today, we have all kinds of science about birds, and even a lot of quantum science that talks about the nature of human connectivity, and how we&#8217;re all connected and how we exchange information from one another. Clearly, we, when we speak, watch YouTube videos, we share information. But there&#8217;s other ways that we share information too. A good explanation of this, there was this experiment where there was two islands, where they had apes on two different islands. So one island, they went over there, and they taught apes to do this specific function. And then when they taught them that they all started doing it, and they all started teaching each other. And then they went over to the other island that the apes Ron, and went there, just by quantum connectivity. Basically, those apes somehow picked up on the learning curve that the apes on the other island have learned and they were completely separated from one another. So they were able to learn something basically, through this invisible vicarious force that we&#8217;re all living in. So, I believe the Bible right here in Ecclesiastes 1020 is giving us this Giving us a hint as to how this works. And so</p>
<p>5:07<br />
if you read Revelation and stuff there&#8217;s a lot of talk about birds and it talks about how every hateful bird is. Babylon as and habitation for every hateful bird, and demon. And I&#8217;ll and a few other things we&#8217;ll get into some of the scriptures in a second. Check out what John says in the book of Revelation about birds and this revelation 18 to any cried mightily with a strong voice saying, Babylon the great is fallen, fallen and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit and cage of every unclean and hateful bird. Let&#8217;s do a little deeper study here on Revelation 18. Two. These were devils here in the King James. I&#8217;ve seen other versions uses were demons. So Babylon, Babylon is a habitation, yeah, for demons, the ASV here, King James devils NASB dwelling place for demons, a prison for every unclean spirit, and a prison for every unclean and hateful bird. So, I mean, clearly, he&#8217;s not talking about like, birds, like physical birds. There&#8217;s a spiritual thing here, the birds fly in the heavens. And this is the in in the air. And sang is sometimes referred to as the prince and the power of the air and all these principalities and powers and high places and stuff. So let&#8217;s just dip take a double check here, make sure the word bird is the word bird. Now this is going to be in the Greek because this is the New Testament, New Testament written in Greek. So we&#8217;re gonna get the Greek word for bird here. As you can tell, it&#8217;s different already on real simple a bird, there&#8217;s not much to it there. Bird laying a bird a foul. So it&#8217;s the same exact definition as the, as we saw here in Ecclesiastes Berger. So with the birds carrying messages, this is a quantum connection. That is in the Spirit, you can&#8217;t see it with your eyes, you can see real burn or physical burns with your eyes. But the spiritual burns, these are things that you can feel and perceive in the spirit if you&#8217;re sensitive to the Spirit. So it&#8217;s talking about what song and saying is, you know, he&#8217;s warning people not to even think negatively or, or lightly of the rich, or the king, anyone for that matter. You know, it&#8217;s not just like, Oh, don&#8217;t think bad about, you know, prominent people, you know, you shouldn&#8217;t think bad about anybody. That&#8217;s not the point. But that the reason I bring that verse up is because it opens up this reality to the function of birds in the spiritual realm. Now, I want to get into some characteristics about birds, that I find pretty interesting. And it makes more sense to have this spiritual connection here. So birds they migrate, because of the seasons, it gets, it gets too hot or too cold throughout the year. And so they migrate. So they don&#8217;t, now they don&#8217;t migrate, they don&#8217;t navigate based on the the hot and the cold. That&#8217;s the reason they navigate. Now, the way the functioning navigate is actually they use the magnetic fields of the Earth that are their bodies have a high level iron, and they actually can detect their bodies like just naturally detect the occurrence of the Earth, the electromagnetic curves of the earth. And they follow that to go north or south to avoid the hot or the cold. So that&#8217;s really interesting, because did you know that our emotions in our body and our, our muscular system in our brain, it functions with electricity, and so emotionally charged situations, they&#8217;re very emotional, and there&#8217;s actually electrical currents that run through our body, depending on the frequency we&#8217;re vibrating at, basically, which is interesting because they&#8217;re trying to avoid the hot and the cold. So there&#8217;s this duality, just like our emotions have a positive and negative, just like electricity has a positive and negative charge.</p>
<p>9:47<br />
Same thing with the birds they go, they travel because the hot the cold. And just like us, when we&#8217;re feeling a negative emotion, we&#8217;re gonna migrate we&#8217;re gonna try to migrate from that negative emotion. There&#8217;s no positive motion, we&#8217;re gonna try to migrate towards it. So these are emotional. All responses that we have. And these are responses that birds have. And so knowing that birds communicate emotional messages through to humans, on a quantum level, it makes sense that they also navigate by electromagnetic currents just like our emotions do. So another really interesting thing about electrical current, and if you don&#8217;t believe in like, supernatural, like ghost hunters and stuff like that, it&#8217;s okay. Um, you know, some of that stuff is hard to believe. But, you know, there&#8217;s something there, there is a supernatural realm, and there are demons and there are spirits, there are angels. These are things that are in a different dimension. Sometimes they manifest themselves into this dimension is rare, but it happens. And if you look it up, there&#8217;s tons of case studies about it. So anyways, like there&#8217;s these ghost hunters and stuff, I don&#8217;t fully agree with everything I do. But I do respect their field of study, because they dedicated their lives to something No, there&#8217;s something gleaned from it. So in some areas where there&#8217;s a high level of spiritual or supernatural or ghost activity, there is they can actually measure the electromagnetic field on air. And when there&#8217;s spiritual activity, the needle on that on those meters, they actually spike up. So there&#8217;s actually an electromagnetic field behind me supernatural occurrences, which makes sense, like, have you ever, like gotten goosebumps when you like experienced something supernatural, I have goosebumps work is all the hairs on your arm, what happens is the muscles around the follicles, they contract. And then so when they all contract like that, you get these little bumps, just like when you flex your muscles like your muscle, it gets bigger a little bit. Same with the little hair follicles, it flexes up, hair stands on end. And knowing how muscles work. They work with electrical currents. That&#8217;s why like, people who exercise a lot, they need Gatorade. Because it has electrolytes, it helps keep the electrical current from the brain to the muscles all communicating properly, because when you sweat, you sweat out the those electrolytes and it can cause muscle dysfunction, and cramping and stuff like that. So electrolytes, it&#8217;s not called that for just by coincidence. And so now with the birds back to the birds thing. So if you study quantum mechanics at all, there&#8217;s this theory called superposition. What they do is on, by the way, quantum mechanics, quantum is a study of subatomic particles. So we&#8217;re all made of atoms, it&#8217;s like the smallest bit of matter, basically, and, and like an atom is the thing they split to make an atom bomb. So we&#8217;ll get into that a little bit more to it a little bit. So basically, the superposition, what they do is they stimulate electrons. And what happens is when they stimulate the electron, they&#8217;re able to measure the stimulation if when they stimulate one electron over here, it simultaneously stimulates an electron way over there. So there&#8217;s this simultaneous response. So like, for instance, like because we&#8217;re made of all these atoms and electrons and stuff like that, our thoughts and our feelings. It has an effect, because we have a whole universe inside of us, you know what I mean? You know, if you look at the solar system, it&#8217;s shaped exactly, it&#8217;s shaped very similarly to an atom, you have like a nucleus, the sun, and then you have protons, an array of electrons and stuff like that. orbiting it, just like planets would orbit the sun. And the reason that works is because each atom has its own gravitational pull. And just like the solar system, the planets orbit around the sun because of its gravitational pull. So anyways, they stimulate one of the electrons, they get simultaneous</p>
<p>14:29<br />
stimulation of another electron that&#8217;s completely separated from it. And what they&#8217;re saying is time and space aren&#8217;t rules in the quantum realm, either. So like, it&#8217;s hard to explain, because it&#8217;s hard to talk about things outside of this dimension. But when you get below the subatomic field, the quantum field, what happens down there is literally the rules change. Like here in this dimension, there&#8217;s gravity, you know, and all that type of stuff. Only in time and space, so like, as I count to five, five seconds, that&#8217;s, you know, there&#8217;s time. And then space like I&#8217;m here, you&#8217;re over there. But in the quantum field, it&#8217;s like this. It&#8217;s like an ocean of everything&#8217;s connected, like with string theory that&#8217;s for string theory comes from. And time and space aren&#8217;t rules. Now, long before science has figured this out, the Bible has been talking about eternity. So like, eternity, like the definition of eternity, means it has no beginning or end. So there&#8217;s this realm where there&#8217;s no beginning or end, you know, so that&#8217;s forever, there&#8217;s not like an end to it, because time isn&#8217;t a constraint. And neither space. You know, Paul, the apostle, he said, although I&#8217;m absent with you, and body, I&#8217;m present with you in spirit. So when you&#8217;re getting into the spirit, you&#8217;re tapping into the heavens, the heavenly use the different dimensions and stuff like that. And I mean, the Bible talks about this, because it talks about eternity. And when you study these supernatural instances, where you get, you know, goosebumps and stuff like that, and like there&#8217;s, you can actually measure it with the electromagnetic field, electricity detector, there&#8217;s like these spirits that are operating in this different dimension, basically, and they don&#8217;t have been have effect on us on this dimension. So how these birds what they do, they communicate these electromagnetic emotional thoughts, to people around you, to people, you know, to people you don&#8217;t know. And in Solomon&#8217;s case in Ecclesiastes 1022, Kings into the rich people, so people who try to curse rich people, or angry at rich people, or don&#8217;t like the king, anything like that, on the quantum field, there&#8217;s these birds that communicate those messages. And those things that you think are a secret, they&#8217;re not, you know, they may be for a time. And maybe for a long time, it&#8217;ll be a secret. But eventually, those secret things will be shouted from the rooftops. Now, the human condition is, is bad, right? And, you know, it&#8217;s the, we&#8217;re all born into this thing called sin. And our thoughts in our minds, like, bad things go through them. And a lot of us would be really ashamed to see those to have those things shatter from the rooftop, or communicated by these birds, and to have everyone know, what we&#8217;re thinking and all this stuff. So all in this together, we all need Christ the same. So that&#8217;s why Jesus Christ died for us. Because, you know, he came to kind of shatter the mold. He said, like, oh, you know, Oh, you haven&#8217;t committed adultery? Well, I say, fuse and lust in your heart after another woman, you&#8217;ve committed adultery. So he&#8217;s talking about what stuff that&#8217;s going on your heart in your mind that you&#8217;re guilty of it. And it does affect people, these birds, there&#8217;s good birds, and there&#8217;s evil birds. And these birds will carry those messages to other people, your loved ones, or the person you&#8217;re lusting after, you guys will feel this together in the quantum field, even without ever even convenient physical contact, you&#8217;re, you&#8217;re committing this adultery in your heart in your mind. And it&#8217;s hurting somebody. Why, while you and this person are illicitly and diligently, diligently enjoying each other, in this quantum connection that you&#8217;ve made and decided to lust after, and with the murder, the hatred, if you have hatred in your heart and your brother angry at your brother, now, I&#8217;m not talking about all anger, some anger is good. But like some anger is not good. And I&#8217;ll let you decide which one that is. And he said, if you&#8217;re angry at your brother, you&#8217;re guilty of murder. So like, if you&#8217;re like really mad at someone, you&#8217;re just like going at it and just hating on him hitting on chances. I mean, the quantum connection. You know, first of all, you&#8217;re hurting yourself or being angry, angry is not good for you. It&#8217;s about emotion I have. And second of all, you&#8217;re hurting the person you&#8217;re hating.</p>
<p>19:18<br />
Not all the time, sometimes the people are protected, but in your heart, that hatred in your heart. It can cause incredible fear and anxiety in the victim. Even though you think it&#8217;s just all just it just in my head and my heart. No one can see it. I&#8217;m not actually killing anybody. I&#8217;m not I&#8217;m not being violent or whatever. Well, Christ said you&#8217;re guilty of murder, you know. So this is pot this is all making sense now, because of the quantum field and how we&#8217;re all connected and how birds communicate these, these messages and these feelings to one another. Because like I said, they&#8217;re using most strong emotions that have a negative and positive charge it affects us. So that&#8217;s the main reason I&#8217;m making this video is to basically wake you up. And if, you know if this is all new information, you&#8217;re a little bit scared. That&#8217;s not a bad thing. You know, the fear of the Lord is beginning of wisdom. So if you&#8217;re if you&#8217;re scared right now, and this is new, there is hope Christ died for your sins. The gospel is seriously that good? Yes, even those thoughts, those ones too. I mean, if you believe it, if you feel a little bit of joy, right there, that&#8217;s the Holy Spirit. That&#8217;s the joy of the gospel. Gospel means good news, you&#8217;re forgiven for all that stuff. It&#8217;s pretty amazing, isn&#8217;t it? I mean, you should rejoice in that. But also take responsibility for what&#8217;s going on your heart in your mind, because the Kingdom of God is inside of us, you know what I mean? We have a whole universe inside of us, we think of each little atom, as like its own little universe has its own little gravitational pole. Whoa, you know, we&#8217;re actually in charge of a lot of stuff. We&#8217;re like, we&#8217;re like gods lowercase g, in a sense, because Gods give God uppercase G has given us dominion over a certain amount of things, our own heart and our mind, our body. And this stuff does affect other hearts and minds and bodies as well. And when you wake up to this fact, it&#8217;ll a bring more responsibility to your to life, be what you see how much you need to save here. And see, I mean, it, it will lead to having authority in this this room, good authority, not bad, but good authority. And it&#8217;ll help you fight spiritual warfare. You know, like, for instance, like sorcery, and witchcraft and stuff like this, stuff like that, they they understand us these dynamics of the spirit of the spirit realm, and all that stuff. And what they do is they manipulate it, and they try to curse people from afar with these, these tactics, and with the, with these quantum realities in these birds, you know, these birds will carry these messages around and, and you know, people can curses are real, you know, people can really curse stuff, but with Christ, he became a curse. For us of those who believe can be blessed. You know, he counseled that curse for us. You know, that&#8217;s, that&#8217;s why the gospel is so cool. It&#8217;s so good, because we all need this is it&#8217;s not just for the goody two shoe Christians, you know, and His grace isn&#8217;t just for the really, really bad sinners. It&#8217;s for everybody, because everyone has messed up thoughts and emotions. And it does affect people. All right, it really does. So. So another thing too, we&#8217;re made of like, I don&#8217;t know how much percentage waters I should have looked it up first. But it&#8217;s a lot we&#8217;re made. Most of ourselves are made of water, there was this experiment, where they would take these bottles or cups of water, and have these trained meditators focus and meditate their intentions into these bottles and cups of water than each bottle and cup, they were labeled different things like, for instance, like gratitude, or, you know, thankfulness, or I love you. And each bottle and cup had these different</p>
<p>23:40<br />
labels on them. So those are the positive ones. The negative ones were like, I hate you, or you make me sick, stuff like that, just like negative emotions, and then focus on the negative emotions into that water to take each labeled water. And they would take tiny little tiny, tiny little drops, like, I can&#8217;t remember it&#8217;s like little small amounts, and they would like flash freeze them and super cold environment. And what happened was with the positive intent, the water with a positive intention is put into it. When they had freeze, they&#8217;d crystallize and create these awesome geometric shapes where consistently you&#8217;d be the same geometric shape. You know, each one will be slightly different, but it&#8217;d be the same like basic shape. And it was like beautiful, organized and had order and you know, that geometry geometric, and then the negative, the water, that negative intentions meditated into it. When they froze it, it was just disarrayed you know, it was there wasn&#8217;t order. It wasn&#8217;t all organized and geometric, it was just kind of like, whatever. And so, like, our thoughts like, have a physical effect on water Okay, so imagine like our bodies are organized that and we&#8217;re like designed to receive information and emotional responses because we&#8217;re a species that communicates to one another. If our thoughts intentions have that type of effect just on water, that it&#8217;s just like a blank water is kind of like a blank slate, blank slate there. You know, imagine how much it has on ourselves, you know, on one another. And Matthew, is you match the, the reality that we&#8217;re all connected and that these birds carry these messages, you know, to between one another. Like, it&#8217;ll make you be a little more careful about what you think and what you feel where it should, if you don&#8217;t, if you don&#8217;t care, well, I mean, you&#8217;d be given over to lawlessness, and God will give you over to debased mind. And that&#8217;s just how it works. Because, you know, God doesn&#8217;t impose his will on anybody. But if people choose to reject the truth, even when it was plainly given to them, God just like, Alright, go for it, you&#8217;re gonna get given over to debase mine, it&#8217;s not God doing it. It&#8217;s just him letting you do you. Because without God, you have a debased mind. But thanks to God, His death on the cross, forgives us as that and gives us the power to get out of that, and gives us another it gives us a way out gives us something good to focus on. You know, when I was putting this video together, I actually learned a little bit more about birds, in a sense, obviously, but the Bible has two different words for for birds. And it threw me off a little bit first, I didn&#8217;t realize this. But one of the birds is referred to as a hopping bird. And I was like, man, what&#8217;s the difference? What&#8217;s the difference? You&#8217;re like, it was obviously different, two different words. And I&#8217;ll show you two, the translations and stuff. 14 has the instance of the two kinds of birds. Then every piece of its kind, and all the cattle after they&#8217;re kind, in every cripple creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth afterwards kind of every bird of its kind, and every bird of every sort. So these two instances of bird hits two different types of birds. We come down here with this, this is the same verser. So this one of these fowl, so as you can see the concordance here 5775, we have bird covered with feathers. And then we have this bird 6833 Little Bird as hopping. So the little bird, this is a 57750 flying creature fowl and six birds. It&#8217;s birds in this instance. As you can see, this is the instance that&#8217;s in Ecclesiastes 1020 or says a bird will carry the matter. And then this word, to say I can&#8217;t pronounce it to support, I guess, a bird a foul.</p>
<p>28:40<br />
A little bird hopping bird. The two types of birds I just mentioned, were from the Old Testament, which is written Hebrew. So now let&#8217;s go into the two types of birds that are mentioned here. And the New Testament. So both the Old Testament and the New Testament makes this distinction. And they use these words very specifically, it&#8217;s not by accident. So I&#8217;ll take this example. We have Jesus saying, Behold the 1000 the air for they sow not neither do they reap. I&#8217;m sure we&#8217;ve all heard that verse before. So the word for birds here says fouls right here, but it&#8217;s word 4071. So go here 4071. Pet to non, to fly wing bird. Okay, so let&#8217;s go the root word of that, which is 407. To pet to my and is to fly. So that&#8217;s the root word of this type of bird. So this would be the smaller bird. Then we go to Revelation 18. Two. We have this incredible and cried mightily with a strong voice saying Babylon the greatest fallen, is fallen and it&#8217;s become inhabited for devils and the hold For every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and on hateful bird. So let&#8217;s see this is this word for bird 3730 to become here, so it means bird. So take, but let&#8217;s see, the only places this as that is Revelation 18 to Revelation 1917, Revelation 1921. Whereas this incident of birth, you&#8217;re gonna find it through throughout the Gospels little more. And like I said, this is not an accident. So we go back here, every hateful bird now, this one is this one. Now the root word for this isn&#8217;t found in G 733. So bird, a cock or a hen. So these Coxon hens These are birds that walk with they don&#8217;t hop, they walk with foot, right foot, left foot, right foot, and they have larger brains than the smaller birds that hop and that fly around in the heavens. As you can see here, this is the first type. Now the difference here is with this type of bird that&#8217;s mentioned in Revelation a few times. If you look here, like I said, this is the root word there. Let&#8217;s look at Revelation 1917. And I saw an angel standing in the sun and cried with a loud voice saying to all the files that fly in the midst of heaven, come and gather yourselves together on to the supper of the great God, Revelation 1918, that you may eat the flesh of kings in the flesh of captains in the flesh or mighty men, in the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them in the flesh of all free and bond both small and great. So think metaphysically here, and then look, so we go, then a couple of verses pass, and then we get to Revelation 1921. And the remnant were slain with the sort of him that sat upon the horse, which proceeded out of his mouth and all the fouls, the birds, were filled with their flesh. So as you can see, the Old Testament and the New Testament both make this distinction make, they have the different names for bird here. And as you can see the root word for this particular one. And they mentioned the cocker and so these are birds that can walk on their hind legs, or walk left foot, right foot, so they have larger brains, more electrical current, more electrical activity. So these are stronger birds that actually carry out a form of warfare. And God uses this as a form of judgment. And evil people in sorcery use these things too. Because, like we mentioned a second ago, there is every foul spirit in every cage, in a cage for so Babylon becomes a cage for unclean and hateful birds. These are the hateful birds that eat flesh. Now, there&#8217;s hateful birds, and then there&#8217;s not hateful birds, and, and so hopping birds, where they hop, you know, they still fly and stuff, but they don&#8217;t walk like this, you know. And they hop like that, I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ve seen it before. I looked up the difference in this, there&#8217;s science studies that study the difference. And</p>
<p>33:41<br />
one of the things that really stood out to me was the size of the birds brain determines whether or not the bird hops or walks with the, you know,</p>
<p>33:55<br />
so and so that besides the brain that made a difference, so like,</p>
<p>34:02<br />
you know, there&#8217;s not much research I&#8217;ve done on this as connection I&#8217;m making in my own on my own here. So you could take with a grain of salt, but sort of like the right brain, like the right side of your brain. It could it controls like the left side, your left leg, and your left, left brain here controls your right leg. And so like these birds have smaller brains, and so their legs, you know, one at a time, they&#8217;re just boom, same time. And these larger, these larger birds, they in the book of Revelation, it talks about this, this angel standing on the sun and then calling for this feast for, for the birds to feast on the flesh of mighty men and kings. So that actually eating the flesh, you know if this is off physically, I believe though at one day, physically, there&#8217;ll be kings and mighty men, their corpses will be on the ground physically. And there will be physical birds eating their flesh. But there&#8217;s a spiritual meaning behind this behind the book of Revelation two, there&#8217;s layers, you know. So, like when God&#8217;s judgment comes, and rescues and makes things just and all that, there&#8217;ll be these birds that feast in fit metaphysically. Now, that will feed on the flesh of kings and mighty men. Now, if you&#8217;re, if you have high anxiety, or for long periods of time, your body&#8217;s releasing all these chemicals. And it actually in some, some cases, it can cause atrophy. Like some people get real anxious, sometimes they lose a lot of weight, not just because they&#8217;re not eating, but because because they don&#8217;t have to, but also because it causes atrophy with atrophy just means your body starts eating its muscle. And like steaks and chicken and stuff like that, the the meat we eat is the muscle of animal. So like this, these birds can cause like, chronic strong anxiety, to the point where you wither away. So like, this is a form of judgment, and it&#8217;s also wickedness can cause this wicked cursing, can send these evil birds that eat flesh, and, you know, cause anxiety to the point where it diminishes you know, this is serious. I mean, I mean, if we&#8217;re, if we&#8217;re having serious hateful thoughts about people, we can seriously damage people, you know. You know, and like, that&#8217;s why I&#8217;m so grateful for the gospel, because I&#8217;m not perfect, dude. You know, I&#8217;ve had bad thoughts, and I don&#8217;t like them. And I&#8217;m ashamed of him, and I&#8217;m glad to put them in the light. You know, and same with the adultery stuff. Like I&#8217;ve had perverted thoughts, bad, you know, thoughts, that is shameful, you know, but the thing is, like, Christ died for me, you know, just like he died for you. And so his blood covers us, and that&#8217;s why he invites us to take communion, which is a metaphysical kneel, okay, so it&#8217;s like, eat my flesh and drink my blood. He says, and if you don&#8217;t do that, you don&#8217;t have any part with him. Now, Christ Jesus is here in his flesh and blood right now, that was like 2000 years ago, but he is here. metaphysically and there&#8217;s a metaphysical meal of his flesh in his blood to eat and drink. You know? And I mean, a carnal mind is so dangerous because Paul the Apostle, even though he preached the gospel forgiveness to everybody, he was accused of cannibalism. It was one of his charges when he was like, beheaded. Because he would teach communion. And people caught with the carnal mind thought, Oh, he&#8217;s teaching cannibalism. Like, no, no, no, no, he&#8217;s not teaching cannibalism. He&#8217;s teaching like how to feast on the Lord suffer. Which is real and does he&#8217;ll, you know, and just like how real that is, it&#8217;s also real that are, that are evil things out there that eat us. You know, and Paul even says, like, like when you bite and devour one another, like he&#8217;s talking, he&#8217;s not literally talking about people go around biting, eating each other. He&#8217;s talking about like, in the spirit, like, you know, trying to bind devour, destroy other people. But he says, What happens when you do that is you destroy each other. So</p>
<p>39:04<br />
you don&#8217;t want to do this is all metaphysical, you can bite and devour one another, in your room all by yourself. It still affects things. That&#8217;s why prayer is effective. Because when you pray about good things, instead of being stuck in that mindset, of biting, and devour, and lusting, and all this stuff, you can focus on the good things. And it doesn&#8217;t feed into the mess the world is in and all the spiritual pollution that&#8217;s out there. You know, because Satan is the is the prince of the power of the air, and that&#8217;s where the birds fly. And so there&#8217;s spiritual wickedness in high places. And so, you know, there&#8217;s a real spiritual reality that people need to wake up to, whether you believe it or not, it&#8217;s happening. So it&#8217;s like you better get with the program, basically, because if you don&#8217;t, it&#8217;s gonna be very tough, and you can be very confused and and you&#8217;re gonna wonder what happened to your life. And I&#8217;m not cursing you or anything like that. I&#8217;m just saying like, there is a judgment coming. Okay. And there&#8217;s a fire coming around. You know, I believe that&#8217;s a metaphysical fire. I don&#8217;t think the Lord is interested in destroying the world, the way a lot of doom and gloom preachers are all about. Especially in this generation, there&#8217;s too many things that haven&#8217;t happened yet. But But I do believe in particular generation, the very, very last generation, that will be a cleansing of the Earth, but it&#8217;ll be a different earth. Just like he makes the heavens new in the metaphysical. Like, I always use this example, like, a few generations back or whatever, in the 1960s, or 50s. And even before that, like black and white people couldn&#8217;t drink out of the same drinking from, you know, but that&#8217;s so different now. So, clearly, God changes stuff for the generations, he changes the insides of people, and then changes that outside changes the world. Because now, everyone, can you send you any phone? In fact, if you said a black person can&#8217;t drink the same drinking phone as as, as me, for instance, because I&#8217;m white, then, I mean, it&#8217;s the other way around, like the white person would be ostracized and persecute rightfully so. I mean, if someone&#8217;s trying to say, like, don&#8217;t drink out of this drink account, because it&#8217;s probably your skin, and that&#8217;s freaking retarded. You know what I mean? I mean, we&#8217;re all we&#8217;re all humans here. God made us all, you know, racism is horrible. But that there was a different environment back then. You know, if the black person drink out of that drinking fountain, that person will be persecuted and ostracize. That&#8217;s terrible. You know, thank God, you know that. Thank God for sending Jesus the change things to the generations, you think this generation is different. He&#8217;s going to change something. So why the pressure is so gnarly, everyone&#8217;s fighting each other and all those divisions because there&#8217;s a huge bubble about to pop. And so get with the program, you&#8217;re forgiven for your sins, except Jesus Christ as your Savior. So you can walk in truth and light. You know? You know, you&#8217;re, you&#8217;re saying sins are gone when you set that, you know, but it doesn&#8217;t mean you&#8217;re not going to suffer stuff. It doesn&#8217;t mean the Lord can discipline you and, and cleanse you and purify you with a purifying fire. You know, you get that faith, this stuff, guys. And this stuff is real. I&#8217;m not just posting my opinion right here. This is like the real deal stuff. So I really hope you take it seriously. And I hope it brings you closer to the Lord and I hope it gets rid of that carnal mind. Quick note to carnal mind, like you know the Hispanic word. Or in Spanish. Carne Asada, carnal carne, meat, you know, it&#8217;s the same root word. You know, you don&#8217;t want to have a carnal mind. Because this flesh and blood to Canada inherit the kingdom of God. It doesn&#8217;t mean like the flesh and blood are is all evil, like there&#8217;s a holy spirit that brings life to our flesh in our bodies that he created all this stuff. It&#8217;s just there&#8217;s a sickness as sin is going on. So yeah. I hope this all made sense for you guys. You know, and I hope it brings you closer to God. I know has for me, it&#8217;s not easy, though. It definitely has been tough actually. Accepting this reality but it&#8217;s tough going to the gym and working hard, but like, you get results. And it&#8217;s the same with this, you know, you&#8217;re forgiving God loves you,</p>
<p>43:59<br />
you hold your hand through the whole thing. But he doesn&#8217;t let he doesn&#8217;t like evil just sticking around, you know, so he&#8217;s gonna deal with it. And he dealt with it on the cross. And He deals with it in his in his church body by disciplining and in correcting and, you know, and having us lay down certain carnal things. So, peace you all, God bless you. Jesus is really died for you. So there&#8217;s no condemnation for those of Jesus Christ. And God did not give us a spirit of fear but of power, love and sound money. But remember, the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. So, God bless you guys. Later.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1 style="text-align: center;">They That Wait Upon The Lord Shall Renew Their Strength &amp; Mount Up With Wings Like Eagles | <a href="https://biblehub.com/isaiah/40-31.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Isaiah 40:31</a></h1>
<p>In <a href="https://biblehub.com/mark/10-15.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mark 10:15</a> Jesus said a prerequisite to entering the Kingdom of God is to <strong>receive</strong> it like a child. As adults, it is hard to relate with children because we have responsibilities that require us to &#8220;provide for ourselves&#8221;. So we think&#8230;</p>
<p>I have been babysitting 2 boys (2 &amp; 4 years old). The 2-year-old will struggle for about 30 mins trying to put his shoes on. When I come to help him, he gets mad at me and even more frustrated. We are the same way with God.</p>
<p>I was starting my new business it was slow going. I would ask myself every day things to do to get ahead. According to my understanding, I was being &#8220;responsible&#8221;. But just like the 2-year-old trying to put his shoes on himself I was getting frustrated. I was doing it my way.</p>
<p>Each day I was looking for more cleaver opportunities &amp; God started telling me; <em>&#8220;You don&#8217;t need to do that.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>I was thinking; <em>&#8220;Yes I do, this is the logical and responsible thing to do. I have to eat.&#8221;</em> God was showing me to <a href="https://reeseirish.com/lean-not-on-your-own-understanding-his-ways-are-higher-than-our-ways/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">lean not on my own understanding because His ways are higher than my ways</a>.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Wait Upon The Lord For Provision &amp; Mount Up With Wings Like Eagles Through Life</h2>
<p>I was getting desperate. Waiting became very difficult. I became very attracted to &#8220;Now Hiring&#8221; signs in the Target parking lot. God knew what I was thinking. He once again said; <em>&#8220;You don&#8217;t need to do that, just wait.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>This was very difficult for me but I took that step of faith and waited. My bank account was getting very low and the pressure was on. My faith we being stretched each day. Little did I know, He was transforming me through the waiting. <a href="https://biblehub.com/james/1-4.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">James 1:4</a></p>
<p>A few weeks prior I met a fellow believer (Joe Roberts) and a few of His friends. They knew my desperate situation. While I was waiting, God put it on their hearts to help me. They all pitched in and gave me $3,600.00!!!</p>
<p>This greatly relieved the pressure I felt for months. On top of that, I started getting excellent leads for my business as well. One of those leads was a an <a href="https://ultimatefreightquote.com/ltl-freight-shipping-services/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">LTL freight quote shipping service company</a>. Shipping is a huge industry and the owner of the freight company is very generous. He made an agreement with me to give me 50% of His earnings for life.</p>
<p>On top of that, I started a new business (<a href="https://w3bt.io/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">W3BT: Web 3.0 Blockchain Transition</a>) in the blockchain/crypto space and began to bring leads to an Executive Producer of a blockchain called New to the Street &amp; &#8220;Exploring the Block&#8221;. I have made 10&#8217;s thousands with this company. I even got to go to the NASDAQ in NYC.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This reality reminded me that <strong>they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength and mount up with wings like eagles</strong> through life.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center;">Do Not Chase After Your Needs Like The Pagans Do | <a href="https://biblehub.com/matthew/6-32.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Matthew 6:32</a></h2>
<p>In Matthew chapter 6, Jesus tells us not to worry about clothes food, shelter, and other things He knows we need. This is easier said than done but is crucial to follow because if we do it our way we will begin to think it was us who did the providing.</p>
<p>God wants us to understand that He is our provider and we have no reason to worry. Here is a video I made about another story of God providing for me in desperate times:</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1 style="text-align: center;">The Rainbow Is A Sign Of God&#8217;s Promise | Genesis 9</h1>
<p>The world became a very wicked place because fallen angels impregnated women. As a result, they gave birth to the Nephilim (giants). <a href="https://biblehub.com/genesis/6-5.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Genesis 6</a> states that the thoughts of humans were perpetually wicked. Consequently, God cleansed the earth by flooding it with water.</p>
<p>But, Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord. God instructed Noah to build an ark large enough for His family and the male and female of each animal. The flood came and wiped everyone out.</p>
<p>Noah&#8217;s ark was a success and when the flood subsided God&#8217;s covenant with Noah was sealed with a rainbow as a sign of God&#8217;s promise in the clouds. As mentioned in <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+9&amp;version=KJV" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Genesis 9</a>.</p>
<p>The colors of the rainbow paint for us a picture in the heavens of what reality God has given His people through covenant promise.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">What Does The Rainbow Mean In The Bible?</h2>
<p>The rainbow is a sign of God&#8217;s promise that He will not flood the earth again in judgment. But, in the next judgment, God will judge the world with fire as mentioned in <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2+Peter+3%3A6-7&amp;version=KJV" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">2 Peter 3:6-7.</a> Before Peter wrote 2nd Peter He wrote 1st Peter where He talks about <strong>multi-colored</strong> <strong>trials</strong>, <strong>grace,</strong> and <strong>wisdom</strong>.</p>
<p>In <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Peter+4%3A12&amp;version=NIV" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">1 Peter 4:12</a> Peter says to not be surprised at the <strong>fiery trials</strong> that are for testing.</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://biblehub.com/1_peter/1-6.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">1 Peter 1:6</a> Peter says that believers may grieve <strong>manifold</strong> <strong>trials</strong>.</li>
<li>In <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Peter+4%3A10&amp;version=NKJV" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">1 Peter 4:10</a> it mentions God&#8217;s <strong>manifold grace. </strong></li>
<li>In <a href="https://biblehub.com/ephesians/3-10.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Ephesians 3:10</a> Paul mentions God&#8217;s <strong>manifold wisdom. </strong></li>
</ul>
<p>The word <strong><em>manifold </em></strong>in Greek is <em>poikilos</em> and it means &#8220;various&#8221; or <strong>&#8220;</strong><strong>multi-colored&#8221;</strong>.</p>
<p>The rainbow is multi-colored. A rainbow is pure white light refracted through a prism or water. The light is dispersed into 7 distinct frequencies (colors).</p>
<p>The 7 colors (ROYGBIV). Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet. The prism and or water molecules act as a <strong>manifold</strong> for pure white light to be organized into <strong>7 various colors</strong>. Hence the 7 churches are addressed in the book of Revelation.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Jesus Christ Is The Light Of The World (Jesus&#8217;s Rainbow)</h2>
<p>In the book of Revelation the Church (Christ&#8217;s Body) is divided into 7 distinct churches. Each church is assigned a ministering angel to correct, guide, and exhort them. Each of the 7 angels has a very specific ministry to each of the 7 churches. Just like there are 7 specific colors, music notes, and bowls of judgment.</p>
<p><a href="https://biblehub.com/revelation/4-5.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Revelation 4:5</a> &amp; <a href="https://biblehub.com/revelation/5-6.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Revelation 5:6</a> says there are <strong>7 spirits of God. </strong>Jesus is the (white) light of the world and His Church (body) is the prism that displays the 7 spirits (colors) of God. Moreover, there are <b>7 musical notes</b> that correspond and synchronize to each of the 7 colors depending on the environment&#8217;s temperature and humidity.</p>
<p>Practically, this means as believers are in different social environments they will radiate a different color of Jesus. Each believer is radiating God&#8217;s pure white light in a special way. As a result, it is useless to compare believers against one another because they are all part of the same white light. Just like each color and musical note, they vibrate at a certain frequency and have a specific function in their due season.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">What does the rainbow mean in the Bible? It represents God&#8217;s multi-colored and sounding wisdom.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-519 aligncenter" src="https://reeseirish.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Reese-Irish-com-light.png" alt="Reese-Irish-com-light" width="824" height="435" /></p>
<p>These 7 distinct angelic ministries produce<strong> manifold trials</strong> that produce <strong>manifold wisdom</strong> and <strong>manifold grace</strong> within the body of Christ. In other words, <strong>multi-colored trials</strong>, <strong>multi-colored wisdom,</strong> and <strong>multi-colored grace</strong> is exhibited through the body of Christ.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Comparing Different Believers (Colors) Against Each Other Is Not Wise</h2>
<p>It&#8217;s like saying blue is a more important color than red. That comparison does not really make sense because each color (church) comes from the same pure white light (Jesus). You cannot remove colors from the rainbow. Similarly, you can&#8217;t remove certain parts of the Church from the body of Christ.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Joseph &amp; John Were Given A Coat Of Many Colors</h2>
<p>Look at Joseph. His father gave him a coat of many colors. His life was painted with various colored <strong>(manifold)</strong> grace, wisdom, trials, and troubles.</p>
<p>I believe in a spiritual sense John (author of the book of Revelation) had a coat of many colors as well. I believe this because He was chosen to receive and administer each of the 7 messages to each of the 7 churches according to their various colored exhortations and issues.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Satan Poses As An Angel Of Light | Satan&#8217;s Rainbow &amp; The Evil Tribes In Canaan (The Promise Land)</h2>
<p><strong>Genesis 9</strong> not only mentions the meaning of rainbow in the bible. It also describes how Canaan was fathered by Ham. Ham exposed Noah&#8217;s nakedness when He got drunk after the flood.</p>
<p>As a result, Ham became the father of Canaan and was the servant of the servants. Canaan is the promised land for God&#8217;s people. And coincidentally enough, the giants and Nephilim ended up inhabiting Canaan (the promised land).</p>
<p>Canaan consisted of 7 evil tribes, <em>(the &#8220;ites&#8221;)</em>. The Canaanites, Amorites, Girgashites, Perizzites, Hivites, Hittites, and the Jebusites. <a href="https://reeseirish.com/the-7-spirits-of-god-7-the-evil-spirits-of-canaan/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">These 7 tribes that inhabited the promised land</a> represent the 7 various colors of satan&#8217;s demonic principalities of false light.</p>
<p>In <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation+16&amp;version=NKJV" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Revelation 16</a> John writes about the 7 bowls of judgment that God&#8217;s angels administer upon the earth. This represents God&#8217;s light overpowering and triumphing over satan&#8217;s false light, AKA darkness. I believe each of the 7 bowls of judgment corresponds to the 7 evil tribes.</p>
