@jhon_sown It is my contention that some form of the Book of Enoch was represented among the sacred scrolls in the synagogues.
This opinion is rational considering that Jude quotes Enoch as prophecy, and I am entitled to it regardless of what AI tells you.
The Book of Enoch is quoted as prophecy in the New Testament.
This inconvenient fact is often dismissed by apologists who equate Jude’s quotation of Enoch with Paul’s quotations of Greek poets.
The problem with this argument is that Jude does not merely quote Enoch to illustrate a point. He explicitly introduces the passage as prophecy:
“Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying…” (Jude 14).
This establishes two important points. First, Jude identifies Enoch as a prophet whose oracles were transmitted through an established literary tradition. Second, at least a portion of that prophetic tradition is preserved in the Book of Enoch.
These are not insignificant observations, nor can they be dismissed by drawing superficial parallels with Paul’s use of pagan literature.
I am not suggesting that the Book of Enoch belongs in the biblical canon. Frankly, I find that question to be both uninteresting and irrelevant.
Rather, my contention is that, were you to peruse the sacred scrolls kept in the synagogues during the time of Christ, you would find among them some form of what we know today as the Book of Enoch.
@monicaonairtalk Yeah, hope in Christ is a biblical course if action
The "hope" thing through the new testament confuses me though. In my mind it conflicts with the assurance of salvation. Anybody have insight into the hope vs assurance? ❤️ Bible study on X
@Freedomite@RicksterRMFC@The_Pilgrim67@AaronBlake Try this! An African immigrant who receives charity and govt handouts, husband works for American airlines. (yeah) She got a job at Walmart for about a month but she quit because, "my daughter needs her mother at home"
This is what she said to me, not something I heard
@DataRepublican Here again, I was in frustration wishing that one of these Patriots who have seen behind the curtain would just tell us which account to follow so that we know when it's time for the battle. I sorted that out with the Lord and now in clear words a messenger has spoken.God is cool
@MrsDrPublius It's the answer I've been hearing in my heart and as I see it written on the page, I think the Lord is probably saying this to you as well. Don't "fix" your sin, confess it. Be healed by the One who can.
For my very few followers, I hope you take a moment to read this. It's the answer I've been hearing in my heart and as I see it written on the page, I know that the Lord is probably saying this to you as well. Don't "fix" your sin, confess it. Be healed by the One who can.
Good Morning,
You are warmly invited to join me for a daily scripture break.
Hebrews 4:13:
"Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.”
Fingers are pointing in all directions. The election cycle for 2028 has begun and it is interesting; everything is up for grabs. One might ask, what can I learn from our culture at this specific snapshot in time? As voters, Americans represent a myriad of viewpoints. As Christians we are expected to judge and select the person who best personifies those things we hold so dear. This process of discernment will take time. However, I believe the most constructive action we can take at this very moment is to prepare for spiritual battle; as we must paddle against the stream and examine ourselves. So how do we prepare for spiritual battle? Consider this as your start point: what am I trying to hide from God? What do I mean by that? What am I justifying to myself that God’s Word instructs me to address? I unequivocally believe the Holy Spirit is instructing us to be faithful Christians and obedient followers. Many were disheartened by the results of the midterm elections last week. Sometimes, the Lord allows things to happen that appear to be detrimental but He will orchestrate circumstances for our good. Also, our culture is so corrupted we can’t allow ourselves the luxury of naivety any longer either; God 's judgment is evident in our land.
Let’s begin where we are. So I will ask again. What am I trying to hide from God? What am I justifying to myself that God’s Word instructs me to address? Is it unforgiveness towards someone, did I lie, cheat or steal something that wasn’t mine, did I commit acts of immorality, the list goes on.
We must encourage one another to share our insights. We obviously can’t control the unscrupulous behavior of our political leaders but we can seek to be informed and meticuously search the flawless guidance of the Holy Spirit. How? We can prepare ourselves for spiritual battle. The first step is what I want to spend our time together studying. What I am justifying in my life that God’s Word repudiates? This is where we, as Christians are vulnerable to the whispers of the enemy because we convince ourselves that all of the commandments we faithfully observe and the works of goodness and mercy we perform for the Kingdom of God, well that's good enough. It is better than most people. Whatever the sin is - stop and acknowledge this too must go. Before we approach God to seek forgiveness we must acknowledge the underlying problem. We are intentionally ignoring sin - something offensive to God.
Why am I going on about this? Because "...wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction and many enter through it." (Matthew 7:13) God doesn’t expect perfection from us. I believe He's delighted when we demonstrate we love Him so much we don’t want to sin, because we don't want to offend Him (not just to avoid eternal damnation). Please take a second and review these scriptures that reveal to us that there is nothing that can be hidden from God.
1. Psalm 139:1-4 - "You have searched me, Lord, and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you, Lord, know it completely.”
This passage so eloquently describes how God has an intimate familiarity with us. He knows our character, our inclinations, our humor, our pain; He knows us completely. So that there are no barriers between us and God (and sin creates a barrier between us and God); we are instructed by the Holy Spirit to correct our error and re-establish our harmonious communion with Him. This is such a beautiful passage because it clearly refutes the idea that God is far off from us; a disinterested bystander in our universe. No, on the contrary. We all know we will be waging a full scale spiritual war for the soul and survival of our nation. You should lay bare before Him; aligned in purpose with His Will.
2. Matthew 10:26 - “So do not be afraid of them (local councils, governors, or kings), for there is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known.”
As we have discussed many times, II Chronicles 7:14 is our blueprint to pray exactly what the Holy Spirit informs us. It says, "if My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”
1. Humble yourself and be willing to lay bare before the Lord.
2. Pray.
3. Seek My Face - With the help of the Holy Spirit, we seek specifically how and in what manner to pray.
4. Turn from my wicked ways - all of them. God doesn’t negotiate; we either choose to obey or reject His commandments.
And when we have done these things; THEN God will listen to our prayers - forgive us - and heal our land.
If we try to ignore any of these steps then we will not be heard and we will lose our land because there are forces determined to destroy this land. They don’t even hide their intentions anymore because they think they have already won. So just let the Holy Spirit give you the perfect utterance for your prayers to God.
3. I John 1:8-9 - "If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.”
So I will ask the question again. What are you hiding from God? What have you justified in your life that is contradictory to God’s Will? Is this secret thing more precious than your relationship with God? The fact is we can’t obscure anything from Him.
4. Psalm 32:5-6 - "Then I acknowledged my sin to You and did not cover up my iniquity. I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord.” And You forgave the guilt of my sin. Therefore let all the faithful pray to You while You may be found; surely the rising of the mighty waters will not reach them.”
God faithfully listens to His faithful children who seek forgiveness for their sins and reconciliation with their Lord. We expect God to hear us and forgive us and reconcile with us. Now, He promised He would justly forgive our sin and reconcile with us; never forget that. God is also a just God and our nation has greatly sinned against God. Let us, His children obediently with a loving heart to the best of our ability be faithful to His Word.
5. I Timothy 5:24-25 - "The sins of some are obvious, reaching the place of judgment ahead of them; the sins of others trail behind them. In the same way, good deeds are obvious, and even those that are not obvious cannot remain hidden forever.”
No one is getting away with anything; good or bad all deeds will be revealed. Some of you last week were down in the dumps because you thought God didn’t answer our prayers. First and foremost, God’s timing is always perfect. Trust Him completely; a spiritual warrior will make sure they have done all they were instructed to do - trust your training. Secondly, example after example in the Word of God, the Lord has proven He will never leave us or forsake us.
6. Proverbs 28:13 - "Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper, but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy.”
7. Jeremiah 23:24 - "Am I only a God nearby,” declares the Lord, “and not a God far away? Who can hide in secret places so that I cannot see them?” declares the Lord. “Do not I fill heaven and earth?” declares the Lord."
In this verse, God Himself confirms nothing is hidden from Him and so I implore you to check yourself. Be honest with yourself and if you are not sure, ask the Holy Spirit. If you get quiet before Him, the Spirit will show you what you need to do. Repent of all sin in your life.
For those of you who have been injured by others whatever the deed, forgiving the offender isn’t letting them get away with it. Take the pain, the hurt, and the burden and lay it on the altar of God. God wants you to let Him carry the burden; He will in turn grant you peace and healing. By forgiving those who have harmed you in any way, you must forego any vengeance and let God handle it. That is what He expects. Reconciling with someone who injured you and yet hasn’t asked for forgiveness and repented is not God’s expectation. You forgive and then rest in His peace. (That was for someone out there.)
Identify your secret (we all have one) and seek forgiveness with God so your prayers will be heard by God. We need to prepare ourselves so that we can effectively join the Body of Christ for the days ahead; waging a spiritual battle on behalf of the Kingdom of God (we all have different callings - fully embrace your calling like a faithful servant in the vineyard.)
Many blessings to you.
Peace and be prepared.
@CynicalPublius "if My people, who are called by My name,....." Has truly been the word I have received.
Thanks to you both for your continued service.
🚨🚨 THE DEMOCRACY FILES / THE INSURRECTION PLAYBOOK, SPECIAL EDITION: ON CROSSING THE RUBICON 🚨
Many people on 𝕏 are calling for elections to not to be certified, or for Trump to not to seat the new Congress on January 3rd.
In a sense, attributing 2026 results to cheating is too narrow of a way to look at a much larger and a much worse problem.
The problem isn't that machines decided to flip 15% of Republican votes and stole the 2026 midterms from us.
The problem is that our elections are untransparent, monopolized by mysterious NGOs, and set up institutionally such that they are impossible to challenge or audit honestly.
I wrote a book, UNELECTED. It lays out the whole NGO Administrative Complex and how they have monopolized virtually every facet of our ordinary society and perform functions through, above, and despite Congress. This is what they do. They cut off every single plausible path to their own reform.
The last two chapters explain my remedy, but I do not believe these chapters are easily approached without reading the other 300+ pages first. And I've had fans compare it to "A Brief History of Time" in complexity ... while I wouldn't go that far, it is an enormous problem with an enormous network that developed over an enormous amount of time.
The good news is that our anger at finding out about this, and our lashing out at all this is the epistemic bubble popping. Regimes don't last long after that.
The bad news is - to borrow a phrase my friend uses - there are many ways to lose, and few ways to preserve our Republic.
I'm not here to tell you that President Trump shouldn't use the 2026 elections to force a showdown.
I'm here to tell you what happens if he does. If he goes down this route, he better treat it like crossing the Rubicon.
Pray for peace and wisdom for the administration as they deal with the many difficult decisions ahead.
Watch the video with an open mind and heart.
BREAKING: The Philly Bike Boycott has reportedly ended early because of the overwhelming number of counterprotestors who showed up.
Notice which side is fully masked to hide their identities.
There are plenty of posts making this parallel over the last several years. I certainly agree.
If I remember the book correctly the makers, just went somewhere else and let the takers burn it all down on top of themselves. Am I right here?
I've come to this conclusion in my under-educated mind. Multiple reports of new voters in astronomical numbers. We know what it means.
The time to do something about it was BEFORE the election. Full stop.
Protest in January?? We've been there & they're ready
I'm seeing an increasing groundswell on the Right saying the entire election was stolen.
I'm also seeing analysts I respect saying that the voting shift was consistently demographic-based across the board, a trend which would not be possible in some sort of electronically manipulated election.
I'm not saying voter fraud does not exist. It does. Alaska is an easy example.
I only ask that you remember that the Color Revolution plotters expected to win the midterms, and expected to use Trump and the MAGA movement contesting the results as a "redline" that could be used to declare Trump "illegitimate" and overthrow him.
That "redline" could occur anytime between now and January 3rd (the date the new Congress is seated).
I'm not telling you not to look for voter fraud.
I AM telling you to use good judgment and discernment and to realize that there are bad actors who may be stirring up some of these arguments as false flag ops.
Please be discerning.
This user hit my thoughts precisely. @elonmusk 's era of abundance is way too expensive for me and according to the thread of comments that are trending it's way too expensive for the people that can actually afford it. Abundance was a future goal?? Maybe after $2 trillion??
