Sermon #014 - Numbers 16 - The masses don't want to be freed because slavery seems easier
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Welcome to today's sermon.
I'm Mike Adams, and this is another sermon out of 100.
And today we're going to be covering an Old Testament book, the book of Numbers, beginning with chapter 11, and we will apply this to exactly what's happening today.
Now, let me give a bigger context picture here of what this has to do with our modern world.
Welcome to my show!
refugees, some people fleeing cities in the United States or Europe, other people fleeing oppression in various countries around the world, and some of those people attempting to come to the United States.
But there's a lot of movement, and people are desperate to change their circumstances because the way the world is functioning right now, it's not going very well, especially in a lot of cities of Western countries right now, which are suffering economic issues.
But there's a lot of movement, and people are desperate to change their circumstances because the way the world is functioning right now, it's not going very well, especially in a lot of cities of Western countries right now, which are suffering economic issues, geopolitical issues, which are suffering economic issues, geopolitical issues, war, or risk of war issues, and things like that.
Geopolitical issues, war or risk of war issues and things like that.
Also, food shortages, as well as food inflation.
Also, food shortages, as well as food inflation.
Now, believe it or not, this has a lot to do with the book of Numbers, and especially the psychology or the emotional reaction of people who are in the process of being helped or being saved.
And as you know, Moses is leading the people after they had been freed and escaped from Egypt, and then the Lord gave them the covenant at Mount Sinai, and they are now leaving Mount Sinai and heading out on their journey to what they and they are now leaving Mount Sinai and heading out on their journey to what they And Moses is guiding them, and Moses is talking with the Lord throughout this process.
Well, it turns out that a lot of these people, they become incredibly unhappy about a number of things.
And also, as you know, I believe it's important to recognize the foods and nutrition in the Bible and some of the herbs and so on.
And there are a lot of mentions of food in the chapter of Numbers, mostly because, well, the people don't have any food and they are kind of dreaming.
They're hallucinating about having pomegranates and things like that.
So this is going to get very interesting.
And what this has to do with today is, have you ever attempted to provide assistance to somebody who is suffering through some of the very difficult times of today?
And have you ever had them say, No, stop helping me.
I would prefer to go back to the old way.
Because that's exactly what happened to Moses along this journey.
And we're also going to learn something about the old school God, the wrath of God, and shall we say instant karma.
That's kind of a common modern day term, but yes, it existed back in Numbers, and at one point God roasted a couple hundred people all at once in a giant fireball.
So we're going to look at that, and what does this tell us about God, and how He may react to those Who do not honor his blessings and what he is trying to do to help them.
So let's begin.
Numbers chapter 11, the very first verse.
Now when the people complained, it displeased the Lord, for the Lord heard it, and his anger was aroused.
So the fire of the Lord burned among them, and consumed some in the outskirts of the camp.
So this is saying essentially that God unleashed a giant fireball.
And burn some of these people alive because they were complaining about things.
What were they complaining about?
Pretty much the things you might expect.
Like, are we there yet?
Or, you know, this trip is taking too long, not enough food.
Have you asked for directions yet?
You know, asking Moses.
It seems like we're walking in circles.
You know, the typical kind of complaints that people have on long journeys and such.
This was definitely the case.
So verse 2 out of chapter 11 here, it says, Then the people cried out to Moses, and when Moses prayed to the Lord, the fire was quenched.
And so here we have Moses as the moderator.
And Moses is often throughout this entire book, he's desperately trying to help the people that he's leading to the promised land.
And very often they don't appreciate it at all.
And so, of course, during this journey, they are facing famine.
And that takes us to verse 4.
Now the mixed multitude who were among them yielded to intense craving.
So the children of Israel also wept again and said, Who will give us meat to eat?
We remember the fish which we ate freely in Egypt.
See, they're reminiscing about the good old days when they were enslaved under the Pharaoh, but they had fish to eat, right?
And they say, the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic.
You can just imagine them drooling all over themselves in the desert.
But now our whole being is dried up.
There's nothing at all except this manna before our eyes.
So they're disgusted with the manna.
You know, and you can imagine them just, like, throwing down the manna.
You know?
And verse 7 tells us what manna is, by the way.
Now the manna was like coriander seed, which is pretty pungent, by the way, but also medicinal.
And it's color like the color of delium.
And, by the way, that term, delium, if you look it up, it says that delium is, quote, an odiferous exudation from a tree.
Oh, joy!
That's exactly what we wanted, is unlimited supplies of a food that is basically an odiferous exudation from a tree.
Okay, great.
So they weren't very happy about the manna.
From verse 8, it says, The people went about and gathered it.
They ground it on millstones or beat it in the mortar, cooked it in pans, and made cakes of it.
And its taste was like the taste of pastry prepared with oil.
And when the dew fell on the camp in the night, the manna fell on it as well.
So this was literally manna falling from the sky.
It was some kind of oily seed that apparently had enough natural oils in it, enough lipids to be highly nutritious and probably had some strong phytonutrients in it.
But I suppose if you're eating nothing but manna all the time, like, manna cakes for breakfast?
Oh, manna gumbo for lunch?
You know?
Fried manna for dinner?
It starts to sound like the Forrest Gump movie, where that character's like, fried shrimp, boiled shrimp, stir-fried shrimp, grilled shrimp, you know, everything was shrimp.
Well, for a long time on this journey, everything was manna.
And so they just kept complaining, and Moses...
Basically, ask the Lord, like...
Why have you put me in this position where everybody's complaining to me?
He says, actually, in verse 11 of chapter 11, So Moses said to the Lord, Why have you afflicted your servant?
Speaking about himself.
And why have I not found favor in your sight that you have laid the burden of all these people on me?
Did I conceive all these people?
Did I beget them that you should say to me, Carry them in your bosom as a guardian carries a nursing child to the land which you swore to their fathers?
I mean, basically, Moses is getting persnickety with the Lord here.
Like, these aren't my sons.
Why do I have to take care of all these people?
They complain a lot and they stank.
No, he didn't exactly say that, but you can imagine that.
And he even says, I am not able to bear all these people alone because the burden is too heavy for me.
And verse 15, if you treat me like this, please kill me here and now.
I mean, almost like modern language, right?
If you're going to do that, just kill me.
Moses said that.
Please kill me here and now if I have found favor in your sight and do not let me see my wretchedness.
All right?
So this is a very important thing to understand.
Moses was in a tough spot.
Now, the reason I bring all of this up is because of preparedness.
Now, you may be trying to help people.
You may be trying to lead people to information.
Metaphorically, trying to take them to the promised land of awakening or truth or having the cobwebs removed from their minds or their eyes so that they can see what's actually happening in the world.
And should you take on that burden, there will be many people who will complain along the way.
And they will tend to want to go back to the more comfortable world that they knew before, which in the case of the Israelites and the Levites and all the people here, that was the familiarity of Egypt where they were mostly enslaved.
But at least it was predictable.
And at least they got to eat different types of foods, something other than manna.
So don't be surprised when you hear that from people in the world today, when they would rather live in their world of delusions, where it's comfortable, it's predictable, and where it's also socially acceptable.
Because a lot of the illusions and lies under which people live today are popular.
You know, popular lies and delusions like, oh, Western medicine and the drug companies care about you.
Yes, and the more medicine you take from Western medicine, the more prescription medications you take, the healthier you must get, which in practice we see exactly the opposite of that.
When people take more and more medications, they get sicker and sicker, then they suffer liver failure, kidney failure, cognitive failure, and so on.
But people find these fables of modern Western medicine, they find them very comfortable to say that, well, it's scientific and it's FDA approved, so it must be safe and it must be effective, even though in many cases that's not the truth at all.
And you will especially discover this when potentially leading people into the truth about what is money.
As you know, what we teach is that God's money is gold and silver because it's on the table of elements and, well, it has certain special properties and it was created by the rules and laws of physics that are the expression of the mind of God.
But in mankind's money world, money is currency and it's counterfeited all the time.
It's printed up or it's digital.
It's not even real, but it's just something you see on a screen when you log in to your bank account.
And when you try to lead people like Moses into the promised land of realizing what is real money, what is self-custody of money, you know, instead of somebody else having control over it, or what are the real causes of inflation, let's say.
If you're leading people on this journey, they're going to complain along the way.
Like, what do you mean I can't use my green dollars or whatever?
You know, it's kind of like complaining about manna.
In a sense, just people will complain when they have to do much of anything to take a journey to get to a destination that will set them free.
Moses was trying to set these people free, and they hated him for it, and they put him in a very tough position.
In fact, if we go to Numbers chapter 16, you will see this rebellion against Moses.
And if you fast forward to verse 12, it says, And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, but they said, We will not come up.
Is it a small thing that you have brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey, he's talking about Egypt, to kill us in the wilderness?
That you should keep acting like a prince over us?
You see what he's saying?
Like, how dare you take us out of slavery?
Where the land was flowing like milk and honey and lead us on a path to freedom where now we have to eat manna.
And he continues, And verse 15 says, Do not respect their offering.
I have not taken one donkey from them, nor have I hurt one of them.
And then from verse 16, basically Moses says, hey, you need to burn some incense and essentially you need to apologize to the Lord.
You need to stand outside the tabernacle tomorrow.
And, you know, basically Moses is saying, chill out, dudes.
This could get very bad.
And then verse 20, and the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron saying, separate yourselves from among this congregation that I may consume them in a moment.
Basically he's saying, stand back, some fireballs are about to be unleashed.
Or the earth opens up, we'll get to that.
Then they fell on their faces and said, O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin and you be angry with all the congregation?
In other words, don't blame everybody here because a few people were whining and complaining.
So the Lord spoke to Moses and said, talk to the congregation, get them away from these tents.
And then I'm skipping a few sections here, but fast forward to verse 31.
Now it came to pass, as he finished speaking all these words, that the ground split apart under them, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up with their households, and all the men with Korah and all their goods.
So they and all those with them went down alive into the pit, and the earth closed over them, and they perished.
From among the assembly, then all Israel who were around them, meaning Israel referring to the people, the Israelites, fled at their cry, for they said, lest the earth swallow us up also.
And check this out, verse 35, and a fire came out from the Lord and consumed the 250 men who were offering incense.
God is like saying, hey Moses, stand back.
Opens up the earth, giant earthquakes, swallows up all these people who were ungrateful for what God was trying to do to them, to lead them to the promised land.
And then, when the earth swallowed them up, he unleashed a giant cosmic fireball and burned a live 250 bin with their incense.
And then the Lord speaks to Moses and says, basically, scatter their ashes, etc., And then, verse 41, on the next day, all the congregation of the children of Israel complained against Moses and Aaron, saying, you have killed the people of the Lord.
So, Moses just can't get a break here, you see.
And this can happen to you in times of trying to help people with preparedness.
For example, maybe you're trying to help someone grow a garden, you know, to learn to be more self-reliant with food.
And so maybe you share seeds with them and you encourage them, you know, start a garden this year, start a garden.
And maybe they do.
And then for whatever reason, maybe it's their first time doing it or they don't have a good irrigation system or the quality of their water is bad or their soils are horrible.
Who knows?
Or they have, you know, squirrels and chipmunks or whatever else come in and rabbits eat all the garden.
Whatever the case may be, the garden fails.
And then this person turns to you and says something like, see, see.
Why did you make me waste my time growing a garden?
It was all for naught.
Yes, I'm talking as if mocking them like a child because that's the way some people act.
And you're thinking, in this case, you're kind of like Moses.
You're thinking, hey, I was trying to lead you into a path of being able to grow more of your own food, to be more self-reliant so that you may be resistant to famines that may occur.
And so that you can produce clean food where you're not using pesticides or herbicides.
And you can grow God's molecules in all of these foods because that's the gift of Mother Nature and God.
So you try to give Your neighbor, your friend, whoever it was, you try to give them a gift to sort of show them away, not forcefully, but just to invite them like, hey, I can show you how to grow some food and how to grow medicine.
And then they had a bad experience and they blamed it on you.
Well, if you were living at the time of the Old Testament, God would roast those people alive.
Just like, giant fireball, you're gone.
Or he would just open up the earth and then they would fall into the pits alive also.
So that's the Old Testament God right there.
He sometimes did not put up with much flack.
And that's all from chapter 16.
Now, if we fast forward to chapter 20, Then we get into some other interesting things here involving a lack of water.
So previously it was a lack of food.
It was famine.
It was hunger.
Now it's thirst.
And chapter 20, verse 2, now there was no water for the congregation, so they gathered together against Moses and Aaron.
And the people contended with Moses and spoke, saying, If only we had died when our brethren died before the Lord.
In other words, now they're saying, You should have killed us earlier, because now we have no water.
In fact, the verse goes on, verse 4 here.
Why have you brought up the assembly of the Lord into this wilderness, that we and our animals should die here?
Again, complaining to Moses and Aaron.
And why have you made us come up out of Egypt to bring us to this evil place?
Remember, Moses is trying to set them free and lead them to the promised land, but this is a tough journey.
It is not a place of grain or figs or vines or pomegranates, nor is there any water to drink.
So, number one, I love the mentions of foods here.
Because these foods are, of course, indigenous, or I should say, they were very common in that day, in that region.
So yes, you would see a lot of figs, and you would see a lot of pomegranates.
You would see vines with grapes, and you would see various grains, ancient grains.
And unlike in other areas of the Bible where it just says fruit...
And there was fruit, and they saw fruit, and they ate fruit.
I love it that this verse is naming it.
Hey, pomegranates!
Yeah, pomegranates grow in deserts or semi-arid regions, and of course they contain a lot of water inside the pomegranate seeds.
And vines with grapes, you know, very nutritious, all kinds of superfoods, God's molecules in medicine, in the grape skin, in the grape seeds.
And also in the pomegranates, by the way, anti-cancer nutrients that are found in pomegranate juice and anti-inflammatory.
Figs, a source of calories, and also certain minerals are very common in figs, so it's great for nutrition.
And then, of course, grain to sustain you with energy throughout the day.
And so all of these foods would be the types of things that anybody who lived in the region would equate with...
Wealth or sustainability.
If you had a plot of land and you had pomegranates and grapevines and figs and grain, you were doing pretty well.
But in any case, they did not have these things during this journey.
And they add, quote, nor is there any water to drink.
It's like, not only do we not have grapes, but there's no water.
Verse 6, so Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly to the door of the tabernacle and And they fell on their faces.
This is bowing down to God.
And the glory of the Lord appeared to them.
Then the Lord spoke to Moses, that's verse 7, saying, Take the rod, you and your brother Aaron, gather the congregation together, speak to the rock before your eyes, and it will yield its water.
Thus you shall bring water for them out of the rock and give drink to the congregation and their animals.
So he's saying to Moses that, have faith in me as the Lord who brings water or manna, food and water and sustenance to the people that you are leading.
Have faith in me because I'm going to bring you water out of the rock.
Now, historically...
There were many rock outcroppings or rock ledges.
I don't think he was talking about just a lone giant boulder just sitting there in the middle of a desert.
My guess would be that there would be like a rock ledge or a plateau or a field of like a mountainous edge that exposed a lot of rock.
But that's just my interpretation.
Anyway, verse 9, so Moses took the rod from before the Lord as he commanded him.
Now, check this out.
And Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly together before the rock.
And he said to them, here now, you rebels, must we bring water for you out of this rock?
Oops.
Oops.
Because, you see, the mistake there is that when he said we, he was referring to himself and Aaron.
Basically, he was chiding the people there and saying, you know, you're whining and complaining, and you're forcing us, Moses and Aaron, to use our power to bring the water out of the rock.
Verse 11 says, Verse 12, Therefore, you shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them.
That was the moment at which God said, I mean, in my paraphrase, he said, I'm done with you.
I'm done with you.
This journey is over.
Even for you, Moses, as much as you have done, I'm done dealing with you.
And in essence, God...
Left that generation to wander the deserts, and that generation would never see the Promised Land.
Only their children would.
And Moses would not see the Promised Land either.
He would die, essentially, in the wilderness.
Now, of course, I am simplifying this explanation.
I encourage you to read the chapter yourself.
It's very interesting.
But some of the things that I find most interesting about Reading the Bible now intensely, these books with fresh eyes, having lived through all the things that I've been through, the censorship and the persecution and the blacklisting and the attacks which now characterize anybody who is a person of faith these days,
who is an influencer or who has any kind of following, if you're one of those people, you are going to be attacked and you're going to be accused of all kinds of things.
Even for saying, for example, that you oppose genital mutilations of children, you will be attacked for that.
So all of us who dare to stand in faith and stand for children or stand for women, for that matter, to say things like, well, Well, we don't think it's right for women to be beat up in sporting events by biological males who are pretending to be women.
If you say that, you will be called hateful and intolerant and you will be persecuted in various ways in modern society.
But part of the lesson in all of this is that you must persevere because your obedience belongs with God.
Not with the satanic influences of our modern society.
And also you must not be weak where you just complain along the way.
This is a journey.
This is going to be a tough journey.
And just like the journey of all the Israelites in this book, the book of Numbers, our journey together, the one that you and I are going through, will be characterized by famine, It will be characterized by thirst.
It will be characterized by unhappiness and the wrath of God.
And doesn't it beg the question that if God did this to those people simply because they complained, I mean, He burned them alive.
He opened up the earth and caused them to drop to their death.
What do you suppose that God will do upon the return of Christ whenever that day may be?
Looking at the society in which we are living right now, looking at the mutilation of children, looking at the blasphemy, looking at the mockery of the church, for example, the displays at the Olympics.
Just mocking the Last Supper.
Mocking Christ.
What would the Lord do today?
And I think we can honestly say that if the Lord were to act today with the same sense of response or the same, dare we say, anger or wrath that he inflicted upon these people in Numbers, That he would set fire to much of our planet.
He would burn out much of the human population or certainly many of the cities, the most sinful cities, of course, where there are abortions, even after birth or post-birth abortions where children are murdered after they're born and where many other sins are taking place, including sins of sexual perversion and sodomy and so on.
Which are mentioned, you know, obviously in other sections of the Bible.
We covered some of that previously from Paul the Apostle writing about all the horrible things that you shall not do.
So, the message is very clear.
If Christ returns and this wrath of the Lord is revisited upon us, then a great many current modern day human beings will be Incinerated?
I mean, that seems to be the correct word for what we just read in the book of Numbers, that they would just be incinerated.
You know, the Lord even told Moses, stand back!
There's gonna be a roasting, right?
At least he gave Moses a warning.
But then when Moses forgot to give God credit, For the miracle of the water coming out of the rock, God was so angered with Moses that he said, I've had enough.
You shall not lead these people to the promised land and none of these people shall reach the promised land.
So what does that tell you?
That you can't have just partial faith in God.
You can't just say, oh, I'll believe God as long as it's easy.
Right?
You need to follow through when it's difficult.
Right?
That the journey requires you to get to the end point.
You can't just go halfway and then lose faith and then start blaming God and start saying, you know, just kill me because he might actually.
He might just do that.
He's done it before many, many times.
So once you decide to take that journey in faith, For God to lead you to the promised land, I'm putting that in air quotes because it can also be a metaphor for whatever is happening in our modern era.
The promised land in the modern world might be a new nation of freedom and liberty without tyranny and authoritarianism, for example.
or perhaps you're dealing with trying to get out of a city and you want to move to a rural area to be safer, to grow more of your own food.
So in your life, in your point of view, the promised land for you might simply be a 10-acre ranch that's 50 miles outside of the city.
And that journey wouldn't be as much physical as it would be paperwork or getting the money to buy their ranch and then getting the deed done and then setting up infrastructure there.
If you need electricity or a well for water, You know what I mean?
It's a different kind of journey.
But if you're halfway there and things aren't going very well, don't curse God.
Because faith is required all the way through.
And then, by the way, there's also a very bizarre section here in Chapter 21 of the Book of Numbers.
It's about the serpent bronze statue, which I believe became the symbol of modern medicine, the caduceus, I believe, as it's called.
But just to read you that, it's a very bizarre section.
I'm not yet entirely sure how to interpret this.
But from verse 4 from chapter 21, You notice they keep asking the same question, right?
For there is no food and no water, and our soul loathes this worthless bread.
Again, complaining about the manna.
It's like, we've had manna for breakfast again!
For 500 days.
So the Lord, get this, so the Lord sent fiery serpents among the people.
Whoa!
Like flaming lizard creatures.
And they bit the people, and many of the people of Israel died.
And then verse 7, this is interesting.
This is where it gets weird.
Therefore, the people came to Moses and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the Lord and against you.
Pray to the Lord that he take away the serpents from us.
So Moses prayed for the people.
Now, you notice that these people, I mean, think about the series of events here.
Complaining, complaining, complaining.
Too much manna.
So tired of manna.
Where's the food?
Where's the water?
Where's the buffet?
Lord, give us the buffet.
And then the Lord unleashes 50 fiery serpents, which I can only imagine would be, let's say, very bright red snakes, venomous snakes.
And people started dying from the snake bites.
And only then do they say, well, we take it back.
We take it back.
We're sorry about what we said.
Could you do something, Moses, about the snakes?
You notice they're always putting this on Moses.
Like, what am I, a snake catcher?
Is this like snakes are us?
I mean, what do you think?
1-800-GETMYSNAKES.COM or whatever?
No.
So, verse 8, the Lord said to Moses, this is where it gets weird, make a fiery serpent and set it on a pole.
And it shall be that everyone who is bitten, when he looks at it, shall live.
So Moses made a bronze serpent and put it on a pole, like a vertical pole, I would imagine.
And so it was, if a serpent had bitten anyone, when he looked at the bronze serpent, he lived.
I don't know exactly what to make of this.
I'll have to revisit this later after some additional study and interpretation of the symbol of the serpent on the pole, which again, I believe, became the caduceus symbol that is now – right now, if you go to the American became the caduceus symbol that is now – right now, if you go to the American Medical Association website,
It's two serpents intertwined around a pole in the shape of chromosomes, of human genetic code, right?
Very interesting.
But of course, the American Medical Association is, in my view, a satanic death advocacy organization that pushes Satan's injections, mRNA vaccines or so-called vaccines, for example, antivirus.
and other toxic, deathly substances that harm and kill people, which means that the Western medical system has perverted this symbol that God had Moses erect in order to eliminate poison.
And don't you find it interesting that so much of Western medicine, not only has it perverted the symbols of God, but it relies on the venom of serpents as molecules for medicine.
And I covered that in a previous sermon as well, because these special toxic proteins known as venom peptides are used throughout prescription pharmaceuticals.
They're used in pesticides in the agriculture industry, and they're also used as cosmetics and personal care product ingredients.
So these snake venoms have now infested food and medicine and personal care products.
So that there is also a perversion Of what God was doing.
God was removing the toxicity of the venom peptides, whereas what Western medicine does today is it expands or exploits or distributes those venom peptides in order to harm people.
And as you may know, one of the most popular weight loss drugs in our modern society is based on venom peptides from the Gila monster reptile.
And if you inject yourself with this drug, it's kind of like being bitten by a snake.
The syringe is like the fangs and you have to inject yourself once a week.
And the venom peptides paralyze your vagus nerve, which causes your body to not be able to empty your stomach or to digest food properly.
And so then people eat less and they lose weight.
So yes, if you are injected with venom peptides from a reptilian monster, literally a Gila monster, then it can cause you to lose weight.
But that doesn't mean that God wants you to do it that way.
He would no doubt much rather that you make healthier food choices, moderate your diet, get rid of all the processed sugars and Processed carbohydrates.
Hey, guess what?
Eat manna.
Sounds like manna is whole food with lots of healthy oils and fiber.
Yeah?
You might get sick of it after a while, but that's when you can have like, you know, manna tater tots or whatever.
Manna gumbo.
Manna dumplings.
But you get the idea.
If you eat healthy foods, then you're going to be in better balance with your overall weight goals and you don't have to rely on toxic, destructive, venomous peptides in order to sort of artificially poison your body into a state of being unable to digest food.
So you notice that God didn't tell Moses to tell the people to digest Pick up the snakes and have themselves bitten by the snakes.
That would be the modern medical equivalent of what God was saying there.
That would be the perversion of what God was saying.
Instead, God had a symbol that somehow cured people of venom toxicity, which would have to be considered a miracle.
So the bottom line in all of this, and I understand that the language in Numbers being in the Old Testament is difficult, and it's also difficult for a lot of people to wrap their heads around the actions of God here, the vengeance of God, the burning alive of hundreds of people, the swallowing up of people in the earth.
But recognize, I've said repeatedly that God works His powers through earth and through natural phenomena and sometimes natural disasters.
So sometimes when the earth opens up, it's not just a normal earthquake.
Sometimes that's the will of God.
Sometimes when there's a great fire that appears to come out of nowhere, sometimes that's the will of God.
I'm not claiming, obviously, that every wildfire is something that God wants to happen.
I'm just saying that when God wants to intervene and assert His will, He will often do so through things like the waters or the oceans or the wind, the storms, the earth, or locusts or plagues or all kinds of things.
That can often appear like natural disasters according to our common modern perception.
You know, typical modern day people would just say, well, that wasn't the Lord, that was just an earthquake.
Well, okay, maybe the earthquake was what the Lord's will looks like.
The Lord can project His wishes to alter our world.
I mean, He can make water come out of rocks, by the way, and He can make manna fall from heaven.
He can open up the earth when he wants to.
So remember the importance of remaining obedient to God.
Do not complain if your journey is difficult, or at least do not complain to God.
Maybe complain quietly to yourself in your own head, but get that out of your way, get it over with, and then reaffirm your commitment to walking the path that God wants you to walk and understand that if we are going to get to the promised land,
Which I would describe in modern terms as a new society rooted in freedom and righteousness and truth and healing, natural healing using God's molecules that I teach, then we are going to go through a very difficult journey along the way.
None of it will be easy.
And your faith will be tested.
My faith will be tested as well.
Actually, what's interesting in my case is that every time I am tested, it just deepens my faith.
In fact, it was all of the testing that brought me to greater faith.
So, for whatever reason, every time I'm attacked or censored or You know, deplatformed or whatever the case may be.
It just drives me deeper into faith.
And I think that's a very healthy response to it.
I would encourage you to see if you can share that kind of response.
If you're in hard times, double down on your faith.
Ask God for guidance.
Ask God for help, yes, but don't complain about your circumstances because we are all blessed, folks.
No matter how difficult things are going to get here in the months or years ahead, we are still very, very blessed.
We have more access today to more natural herbs and foods and garden seeds and substances than at any time in human history.
Do you realize that even the kings, even the pharaoh of Egypt, he didn't have a fraction of what you can get at a grocery store spice rack.
I mean, the spice rack at the grocery store, that would have been considered the treasures of kings back in the day of Moses.
And the fact that we have running water, and we have water filters, and we have rainwater catchment systems, and You can grow all kinds of food far more easily today than ever before throughout history.
You can have your own pomegranates and vines and figs and grains if you want.
And we do have it easier in many ways than at any time in history.
But I understand we also have very different challenges because we're living under extreme tyranny.
We're living in a godless society dominated by satanic death cults.
Some of which literally want to exterminate humanity.
And they are releasing bioweapons and altering the atmosphere.
They're engaging in terraforming.
They're trying to remove God's molecule of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
So in some ways, yes, we do face...
The craziest time ever, the most difficult time ever.
But that's just another reason to double down on your faith.
Double down on your preparedness plans, your resilience.
And finally, if you're helping others get prepared, maybe you're walking with them along that journey, understand that not all of them are going to make that journey.
Some will, some won't.
And it's not your burden.
Some people are ready for what's happening in the world.
Some people are able to open their eyes and look at reality and other people will never be ready for that.
It's just too traumatizing for them to take an honest look at what's going to happen or to even imagine cities being consumed in fire or the banking system collapsing or, you know, nuclear war taking place or God's wrath even being in nuclear war taking place or God's wrath even being in the world.
inflicted upon those who have turned against him.
It's just so far outside the realm of what many people have ever imagined that they are incapable of just cognitively processing that information.
You can't help them and it's not your fault.
So to have a healthy take on preparedness with yourself and your relationship with others is Just continue to be gracious.
Help those that you can.
Don't feel guilty about those that you can't.
Thank God for His guidance, for His wisdom, and for His blessings.
And don't blame God when things go wrong.
Just use it as an opportunity to learn something new, to double down on your faith, or to expand your own resilience so that you can overcome those obstacles that the universe has placed in your way.
Through this, I believe that we can get to the promised land, the new promised land, which will be the rebuilding of our society after the collapse of this current one, by the way.
And that day may be a lot closer than you might suspect.
But we'll see.
I don't know all the calendar dates, obviously, but I do see trends taking place, and I know that Often history takes place in rapid lurches rather than a gradual evolution of events.
And we seem to be headed towards a lot of rapid lurches all of a sudden.
So be mindful.
Be ready.
Hold your faith.
It's sacred.
Trust in God and His plan for you.
