“And Elijah came to all the people, and said, “How long will you falter between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow Him; but if Baal, follow him.” But the people answered him not a word” 1kgs 18:21 nkjv |
May 26, 2026 “In the Bible, Baal (also rendered Baʿal) was an important Canaanite god, often portrayed as the primary enemy of the Hebrew God Yahweh. The Semitic word "baal" (meaning '"Lord") was also used to refer to various deities of the Levant.” [more detail about Baal, this link] from New World Encyclopedia. Notably, the history of Israel is full of idolatry and forbidden deities that Yahweh specifically warned them about, and certain consequences to come if they did not obey His warnings… you would think they would have learned, our sins and corrupt habits are often much the same as their bad decisions… as the song writer said, “when will they ever learn?” I think the chickens are coming home to roost for our society as well. For this lesson, we will need to observe the Bible Book of 1 Kings… chapter 18, where the famous contest between the Prophet Elijah and the Prophets of Baal took place on Mt. Carmel. Note especially the text saying, “But the people answered him [Elijah] not a word.” They were so intimidated by the ongoing evil priest’s [priests of Jezebel] pressures, and cultural decadence, that the evil King Ahab had allowed in Israel [Samaria, Northern Kingdom], especially under the tormenting aggravation of his wicked wife Jezebel, who was of pagan Sidonian royalty. In fact in Elijah’s eyes, we later see what he told Yahweh, when Yahweh asked him why he was on the run from Jezebel, who swore an oath to kill him, he said, “I have been very zealous for the Lord God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, torn down Your altars, and killed Your prophets with the sword. I alone am left; and they seek to take my life.” 1kgs 19:10 nkjv Now consider this great Prophet, who had just overcome Jezebel’s four hundred and fifty pagan priests and had them slain, and had dominance over their powers… Then, that Jezebel, who had such a dreaded reputation for cruel and evil mastery over Ahab’s activities, frightened him so bad that he had lost the divine vision that filled his life, that he headed for the hills in fear and distress, thinking evil had won the day. Lest you think otherwise, when such evil and its threatening and abusive powers move against people, most would have been out in front of Elijah heading for cover as well. With this as a reference… what will we do, and how will we act, if some evil and powerful force begins to manifest in our lives around us? It is my opinion that we are headed into such times in the not so distant future… normal is on the way out, I think. In fact, I view what is coming as a “Jezebel” event… evil and persecution of people by unimaginable wickedness… we are told of such times in the Bible where John saw such visions in his “Apocalypse” writings, [Revelation]. I think most people are distracted from the signs all around them, as most have things to do, places to go, and are making plans for their next big adventure… as it was in the days of Noah… it seems. Only a remnant faithful are studying their Bible and spending fellowship with God in daily mediation and prayer… listening for the Holy Spirit’s counsel on what the times and Bible teaching are revealing. It will not found in Mega Church entertainment and feel happy sermons and prosperity promotions. Nor will it be found on mainstream media and social media, etc. I hope you can grasp what I am saying. I think the builders of massive data centers being built worldwide have ominous plans. They are “in your face” belligerent, and secretive concerning their work, and don’t care how many corpses they roll over to achieve their objectives… which Jezebel’s imagination could not even conceive. Their plans, whatever they are, will eventually [I think sooner than later] turn our normal lifestyles inside out... many will be in shock and bewilderment when the problems multiply and there seems to be no answers except, hear this… follow them [obey their demonic ways]. Their way or the highway [death camps, essentially], they plan massive depopulation worldwide… they publish this in their own writings, discuss it in their conferences. They have plans to confiscate the power output of our energy grid, as much as they need, then we plebeians can have what is left to fight over; all the same with our water and land resources, etc. Their plans to corral people into clusters of 15 minute cities and limited travel and consumption is already a finalized drawing board model… only awaiting implementation when the “control system” AI Databases are up and running… I’m not kidding, just reporting what I read and see with my own eyes. Enough of “their plans,” what should be “our plans?” I have only one answer, no amount of protest or planning and prepping will last very long. They have already “war gamed” so many “what if” the plebeians do this or that possibilities, that they know the countermeasures they will employ to snuff out the opposition. Have you ever considered this Bible verse? “ So the master commended the unjust steward because he had dealt shrewdly. For the sons of this world are more shrewd in their generation than the sons of light.” luk 16:8 nkjv The sons of this world… wicked, Antichrist people are making plans for their own benefit to dominate us. Unfortunately, most “Christians” are waiting for the glory bus [false pre-trib rapture], or some denominational doctrine… instead of simply reading the Bible themselves and letting the Holy Spirit counsel them for what to think… and understand what is happening in real terms according to the Bible. The simple answer to what is ahead, is “Trust and Obey.” Only faith in Yahweh’s truth/Torah and the faithfulness of Yeshua’s work on our behalf, and the faithful wittiness of the Spirit of Truth will save us, and deliver us from the false doctrines and fake Messiahs… Yeshua said, “do not be deceived.” I think the fake illusional powers and offers of longer life, more intelligent capacity, stronger physical abilities, and advanced spiritual insights… etc; with coming “alien” [demonic] and AI influences will overwhelm many. Yeshua called it “being deceived.” When these profoundly powerful and convincing deceptions come for you… how will you deal with them? There is only one way, Yeshua exampled it when the deceiver tempted Him in the wilderness… He replied, “it is written,” and then, “get behind me Satan.” When the evil cabal comes for us, remember it is possible some will lose their temporal lives in the circumstances, but remember this: Yeshua’s Words. “Whatever I tell you in the dark, speak in the light; and what you hear in the ear, preach on the housetops. 28 And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. 29 Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will.” mat 10:27-29 nkjv Trust and Obey… even if it is Yahweh’s will for us to be numbered among the martyred… recall we will then be among those under the altar in Revelation 6: “When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held. 10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?” 11 Then a white robe was given to each of them; and it was said to them that they should rest a little while longer, until both the number of their fellow servants and their brethren, who would be killed as they were, was completed.” rev 6:9-11 nkjv So then, how will you be looking at the near future, fearful and distressed, or thankful and faithful for knowing who you are in Christ? How you answer this question will determine your peace and understanding in the days ahead. It is what it is, is it not? We can walk daily in truth and understanding or we can abruptly wake up in the snare the evil cabal is tightening around our lives. Trust and Obey. Shalom, John |
