Have you ever thought about what the Bible says about the character of those who are allowed to keep company with the redeemed of Zion? Those “Who may dwell in Your holy hill?” The Psalmist goes on to say:

“He who walks uprightly, And works righteousness, And speaks the truth in his heart; 3 He who does not backbite with his tongue, Nor does evil to his neighbor, Nor does he take up a reproach against his friend; 4 In whose eyes a vile person is despised, But he honors those who fear the Lord; He who swears to his own hurt and does not change; 5 He who does not put out his money at usury, Nor does he take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be moved.” ps 15:2-5 nkjv

Now mind you, if this is self-conformed makeup, in itself, it is not a ticket into Zion; as it is Yeshua’s shed blood that has saved us, atoned for our sins and justified us before Yahweh… But, unless these Christlike attributes are part of our wedding garment, we will have no works to prove our faithfulness, as Yeshua spoke of in Matthew 22:11-12.

Considering these words, needless to say, our modern world is in a heap of hurt… I will quote a line from the movie the “Matrix”:

"The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it. - Morpheus"

I think this describes the reality of what sin and wickedness does to nations… as it is the leaders who set the precedent for the “sheep,” and tragically, the sheep [being plugged in], follow government handouts, pleasure, and indulgence. The “Matrix” as such becomes the God provision they choose. The Bible also says:

“If the foundations are destroyed, What can the righteous do?” ps 11:3 nkjv

“The wicked prowl on every side, When vileness is exalted among the sons of men.” ps 12:8 nkjv

As I look around me, I see the plans of the wicked to enslave humanity and create a “Multiverse” and New World Order… they call it the “Great Reset,” using every evil concept of carnal intellect, technology, and artificial intelligence, to meld together a “new human,” they call it, human 2.0, a man/machine cyborg so to speak; they speak of it overcoming death. I call this the reconstruction of the Tower of Babel, and all the objectives of that original work is incorporated into this new endeavor. I believe “it, human 2.0,” to be what Paul called “any other created thing,” in Romans 8:39 nkjv.

Then the psalmist puts everything into “reality” perspective, not filtered by the Matrix… from Yahweh’s point of view… and it will be the prevailing view in the Day of the LORD!

“Why do the nations rage, And the people plot a vain thing? 2 The kings of the earth set themselves, And the rulers take counsel together, Against the Lord and against His Anointed, saying, 3 “Let us break Their bonds in pieces And cast away Their cords from us.” 4 He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; The Lord shall hold them in derision. 5 Then He shall speak to them in His wrath, And distress them in His deep displeasure: 6 “Yet I have set My King On My holy hill of Zion.” ps 2:1-6 nkjv

Let me encourage you to focus upon the what the Bible says about the character of those who are allowed to keep company with the redeemed of Zion? Those “Who may dwell in Yahweh’s holy hill? Let us join the Psalmist in this declaration:

“But as for me, I will come into Your house in the multitude of Your mercy; In fear of You I will worship toward Your holy temple. 8 Lead me, O Lord, in Your righteousness because of my enemies; Make Your way straight before my face.” ps 5:7-8 nkjv

Shalom… John
