While We Were Distracted, This Happened - Prt1

 (Note: Updated-starting at 9:15 May 2, 2026, two hours after post BP)

Blessed is the man that trusts in the Lord, and whose hope Adonai is. [Jer 17:7]

What's a Distraction?

Going over the archives IF one had time (don’t worry, even I do not have the time lol), but often, especially since 2020, I would mention how distractions interfered with my work in such a way that I could not post in a timely manner.

However, it has gotten so bad over the past year and a half that I have asked the Lord more than once if I am to stop writing, if I am blind or deaf to what He wants me to see or hear (meaning, is He halting me and I cannot see it or hear properly?)

But instead, He reveals to me that all people (and especially His people) are perplexed over different things. Confusion, overwhelming thoughts and happenings, everything, including the weather is abnormal. Nothing makes much sense right now. It is a chaotic, corrupted, mind-boggling time we are in.

Many are suffering in various ways. Not everyone is suffering physically, mentally, or in the same manner that another is suffering. Yet, one common denominator globally is the fact that faith is being challenged in ways that no one expected.

Situations are arising that test the character, integrity, and sincerity, the genuineness of each person. It has always been said that a person’s true character is proven in times of adversity. 

I have seen people who are thought to be so macho, so brave cower instead of protecting a woman or child. I have seen so-called ‘good men’ kick a helpless puppy for not ‘behaving’ right.

And I have seen a person who was always mocked and ridiculed as being a ‘wimp’ turn out to be a real trooper in the time of need. I am 71, so yes, I have seen both. I wondered myself how I would be in an emergency situation, but I know the times I did well was ONLY because of Jesus…and I refuse to touch HIS glory. I am every grateful to Him.

On the other hand, my life is not over and I have not dealt with many situations. There is still room to mess up majorly - Lord, help me that I do not live to see that day lol. But seriously, we all want to think we will be brave and strong, not giving into emotions (which often override logic). Let us pray for God to give us strength, wisdom and courage in the face of adversity - for our sakes, yes, but for His glory!

Many are falling away, masses are being exposed for what they managed to hide behind charismatic smiles, polished images, and successful businesses or ministries. On the flip side, we also see an exceptional number are being baptized (Kayla Gabbard Ministry is but one of many- all glory to GOD), a stirring is occurring but it is not like a ‘tsunami revival’. It is happening in waves.

The masses that were moved a year ago were moved by emotions, but these baptisms are being carried out without the media spotlight, without the emotionalism that develops when cameras and music and other means cater to the ‘flesh’. This is of God, and meant to last for an eternity, not for a day, month, or year.

Deception

Ah, it was a grand deception on the part of many participants. Drama, lies, manipulation, theatrics, all at the expense of human lives. Who would be behind such evil? One guess, and the book of Revelation said:

“Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and of the sea! for the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows he has but a short time.” [Rev 12:12] Some are still clinging to the illusion, but God is the expert and master sorter. We must remember who [Satan] is the author of confusion.

There is much I intend to touch upon; however, it will have to go into more than one article. Distractions – it is a word I timidly used in an article about six years ago, around the time of Covid-19. 2020 was one of the worst years of my life, yet most of the reasons about why it was so horrific had nothing to do with the pandemic. 

I say "timidly" because at the time, I was pretty sure that I was the only one being distracted, unable to stay focused, especially when it was important. It is said that 'misery loves company'. Well, admittedly, when I found out more and more that these distractions were affecting everyone, everywhere - globally, I let out a great sigh of relief. I can serve tea and biscuits for my "miserable company" lol 

time of chaos and confusion

But it was like a paradigm shift, like the entire world got tipped on its side and everyone was out of sorts and acting irrationally. It was not just me that noticed. Numerous people reported unbelievable things taking place, things that normally would not have been allowed, or were unheard of before.

The word ‘distraction’ is seen or heard nearly everywhere now, as most people have become aware that what is being presented or shown to us is to divert our attention away from other very important things – but what things?

Guaranteed these “things” that they are throwing out are red herrings to feed the curiosity of the public, but they are NOT the important 'things' we need to know. Governmental leaders are covering up truth in many areas, all part of the plan (NOT conspiracy, but indeed the PLAN) for a one-world system and leader. 

Will it be a person or a possessed humanoid? Does that sound far-fetched? No, multitudes are beginning to see. One has to ask this question as AI speeds ahead… In 2008, I began posting about humanoid robots. Way back then robots had been created to accompany troubled children. 

They were exceptionally realistic with the facial expressions, remarkable with the emotions expressed, and the "skin" that looked real. I will be writing about this in upcoming articles because dear souls, this is but ONE of the things they do not want us to spend too much time dwelling on. Forget critical thinking - push it aside. Do not overthink the matter, simply accept what they tell us.

That is what they would like, and that is what they are aiming for - control of the people. Dystopian control of the masses, where a totalitarian government, or 'technological entity' puts in motion the suppression of individual freedom and thought. The "utopia" of the elites, even if it is maintained through surveillance, deception, fear, control (15-minute cities; own nothing, be happy - Schwab mentality, applauded by Yuval Noah Harari.

As in the Days of Noah

Yuval Noah Harari

Yes, the same man who stated once (with an interesting choice of words): "Never summon a power that you cannot control." [emphasis mine - critical thinking required]

Words of Yuval Noah Harari - he proudly shows people clearly, beyond any shadow of a doubt, whose side he is loyal to. Medium posted the article. It is written in such a way that it would be near impossible to not hear exactly what Harari is saying in that interview with Medium, regarding AI, mankind and the time we are in.

He starts off mildly, seemingly innocently, already deceiving the world as the serpent deceived Eve…it began with a seducing spirit bringing forth various temptations. He introduces Micky Mouse, none other than “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice”, appealing to the child in you, or at least, the part that likes to fantasize. Magic...a mighty wizard, sorcerer, call it as you will...apprentice.

Pass through Nazism, Stalinism, AI-built totalitarian regime, snaking a way through Hindu religion and what he calls ‘Trumpism’, claiming that Hinduism and Trumpism, both press emotional buttons. Who will be alpha?

Then, the slithering continues through economy where bad money drives good money out of circulation. This is fantasizing, isn't it? Interesting turn. He touches upon the “murderous witch hunting hysteria" between 1500-1700 (clearly opposed to the 'murderous' witch hunts... and it is true that many innocent died needlessly.

Almost cussing the new invention of the printing press when it came out in that timeslot. The anger was due to the fact that companies published about a vast Satanic witching conspiracy. It was read by millions... good is winning.

He then says, “Information, you see, need not be truthful. Something people can exploit for wealth and power, a big factor in the witch hunts." YH

So right there, Yuval Harari reveals to us that truth means nothing to him, for the truth is not in him. Is he the father of lies? To call him Satan, no, but to call him an antichrist. Most definitely. operating from the dark side, and proudly.

Surveillance, technologies, democracy, Walter Cronkite, GPT-4 AI system, alpha predator, global AI tyranny, upgrade or replacement, Humanity 2.0., Yuval Harari covers it all. I do not see too many stones, if any, left unturned.

Read at this link to get the context of Noah Harari’s statement: “Never summon a power you cannot control.”

We are already a 'global village' under heavy surveillance, with law enforcement more militant and given more freedom to do as they will with people, even shooting to kill if they so much as look sideways. After all, only "terrorists" look sideways, right? Forgive the sarcasm, but as evil rises, I will not applaud the cunning and craftiness Satan has employed to deceive the masses - just as Jesus foretold.

Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known. [Mat 10:26] KJV (words of Jesus)

These things are prophetic for our time, and have been recorded in the Holy Bible long ago. The wars, the rumours of wars, the groaning of creation, the birth pangs felt by the world, much like a woman in travail. This is all occurring now.

That would mean that these things have to do with Yahweh [the Living God], Jesus, the Saviour, Satan, spiritual warfare, the prophetic written in scripture, and last, but not least, the Antichrist. 

Oddly, many people nowadays do not even want to say the word ‘Antichrist’ for a couple of reasons. The first reason is because many believe it is not one ‘person’ that Satan will possess. Instead, they believe it is a ‘system’, a beast system that will control mankind.

Some will say that there have been “many antichrists” since the days of the apostles, and that would be 100% accurate.

False Teachers - False Brethren

Dear children, the last hour is here. You have heard that the Antichrist is coming, and already many such antichrists have appeared. For this we know that the last hour has come. [1Jn 2:18]

John spoke of those who belonged to the church, people who were part of the Christian community, but left. “They went out from us, but they were not really of us,” [1Jn 2:19]– likely spoken with a heavy heart. False teachers, false brethren or ‘antichrists’, who came out of the church.

Today, many of them stay right in the church, ‘using’ the name of Jesus/Yeshua to promote themselves and their false teaching, a teacher that sounds so ‘true’ (because like Satan did in the desert temptation of Jesus, scripture is used).

I have no intention of expounding on any or ‘the’ Antichrist/Beast, or unholy pagan celebrations in this piece. Over the years, I have written and given information, but now, as I have stated, and which I firmly believe – Satan has not just blurred the lines between true and false, he has removed them. Jesus named him the ‘author of confusion’ for a good reason.

Some folks will take this to extremes and not trust any church. Just trust God. That is the best way for all of us, but Abba will grant discernment if our hearts are pure for the reason. We do not want to deceive, nor do we want to be deceived. It is a two-way street. 

We all need people we can trust. It is the way the Lord created things to be. The only one who thinks he can benefit from such a plan is the destroyer, that old serpent, the great dragon, Satan. [Rev 12:9]

What do I mean by that? By simply searching scriptures, we no longer have to be a scholar or theologian to see that we are tumbling quickly into the climax of the end times, the Great Tribulation.

It is so close that I would not be surprised if it breaks out at any time. Back when I wrote an article in 2008, I had mentioned how we have been seeing the puzzle pieces fall into place. 

For decades we saw the pieces put into position, like placing dominoes along a run/chain, in order to create the domino toppling, a spectacular art form that presents as a visual chain reaction – and all it takes is …just one push in the right place!

Domino Effect

Domino Effect--artist_Kovizel 1991

In 2008, I had written an article called “We Overcome”. Unfortunately, I removed five years’ worth of work when a woman promised to sponsor a new website. She changed her mind, which is her prerogative; however, I lost a good portion of those years due to ransomware, a nasty virus that destroys files within a certain time frame if the ‘ransom’ to spare them is not paid. 

By no means was any of that her fault. It was just the timing, but after a good cry at five years worth of research, reading for hours on end, phone calls, writing...all gone, no backup...hard lesson learned! Foolish me.

I am repeating myself, but there is an important point to be made here. Although I wept many tears due to the countless hours of research and work that was lost, I came to understand and accept that the only words that matter are Yahweh's (the Lord’s), and thankfully, we have those in the Holy Scriptures and hopefully, down in our hearts.

And they overcame him (the dragon) by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. [Rev 12:11]

I reposted the 2008 article, We Overcome in 2015, and again in 2022.

Excerpt:

In 2022, I wrote about the domino effect. What I wrote was…

There is a folder that I have named "Domino Effect usage". I labeled it that because of the articles in it where the Lord used the word 'dominoes'.

The first article I placed in the folder was titled, "We Overcome"  (published in 2008). The Lord spoke of things happening, and it was the first time He emphasized dominoes to me (regarding things coming).

Excerpt of (We Overcome):

For they prepared their hearts for the 'suddenlies' and the unexpected. 

For He who loves His children will teach them, then test them. 

He will lead them and guide them. 

He will forewarn and protect them.  

Things that are coming will be positioned like dominoes, with intent, strategically

placed, with precision. Things coming will have the 'domino effect', but God prepares His people.

Beltane/May Day - Pagan Celebration

Egyptian, Greek, Roman origin
Beltane

Each year I write about the ‘highlighted’ days on the occult calendar; days such as May 1, which the world ‘innocently’ labels May Day, a day of dancing around a pole with pretty ribbons and flowers attached. It can be just a few souls dancing around a pole or a great number.

With the original pagan celebration, the ‘pole’ was a phallic symbol that represented the male organ, the penis. The pole originally was a tall tree, straight, such as a pine tree – considered positive masculine “energy”, the generative ‘powers’ (idol) bringing life to the earth.

The coloured ribbons, beautiful assortment of flowers and garlands represented the feminine “energies”, enveloping the ‘womb of the earth’. Together it stood for fertility. The dancers moving in and out were symbolic of the natural rhythm of rejuvenating and creating new life.

Pagan practices involved couples in the nearby fields, whilst the dancing and singing and chanting carried on, celebrating the new cycle of life…and the fertilization of the earth. Pagans and Wiccans celebrated Beltane, honouring the ‘forces’ of creativity in nature. In Rome, Flora, the goddess of flowers was celebrated.

The ancient Gaelic/Celtic celebration was also called Beltane/Walpurgis  [Germanic] Fire Festival. I have written about it in the past, but it is not my intention to glorify it. At one time, demonic and Satanic activity was more rampant around and on certain days of the year, but now Satan has proudly lifted himself up to spread it far past these days.

The lines are no longer blurred. They have been wiped clean so that there is no defining line; it all blends together – at least, that is the intent. As we approach the time of the Great Tribulation, witchcraft is exalted in public arenas such as the Olympics, many opening ceremonies, Hollywood and its various Award programs, and more.

It is no longer considered shameful or evil, but something to be ‘proud’ of and good. Christianity is looked down upon, and it is becoming increasingly worse. Rejoice, dear friends, because our redemption is so much closer. How we long to see our Messiah return, our Jesus, Yeshua of Nazareth, the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, King of kings and Lord of lords, the true Christ (Anointed One).

I had wanted to warn of any backlash that may occur due to the celebration of this pagan (occult) day, but it is a time where every day now is a day to stand guarded. We need Jesus more than ever before. Without Him, I do not know how anyone will make it in the days ahead without Jesus. Eternity is a long time – this life is temporal. Time to choose. Choose wisely.

Much more coming up…about Trump, clones, humanoids, just a lot, but what I really want to get to is what all these ‘distractions’ have kept us from focusing on.  The leaders globally and the events are all connected – it is all part of the big plan; the very plan that Yahweh warned about. 

I am confident that God's people, children of salt and light, know exactly what the evil ones are distracting the world from. However, multitudes are in denial because they either do not believe in Jesus as God/Saviour/King and Lord, or they have fallen away, apostates - may God help them before they become reprobates.

Jesus forewarned that if it were possible, even the very elect will be deceived. People everywhere are shocked at how much we were deceived about; the depth and the coverage is mind-boggling. No wonder we were told that we have no idea of the depth of evil…none.

Remember this, dear saints:

The Lord brings the counsel of the heathen to nothing: He makes the devices of the people of no effect. The counsel of the Lord stands forever, the thoughts of His heart to all generations. [Ps 33:11]

The Providential, Sovereign LIVING GOD rules forever; we can trust in Him.

Thank You Jesus/Yeshua - it is ALL because of You.

for His glory alone

War inAir-Witchcraft in Fog-Hindrances and Distractions

Trust Yahweh
Trust Jesus/Yeshua

[Updated more than I first intended, but that is a good thing. Additional info, commentary, and a few pictures- I wanted to get the post up, so not all the details I wanted to share were presented in the first post, but are now with update. The additions balance out several points. Monday, November 24, 2025--BP]

Some trust in chariots, some in horses, but we will trust in the Lord our God. [Ps20:]   ESV

Hindrances and Distractions

For this cause, we would have come to you, even I Paul, again and again, but Satan hindered us [blocked the way]. [1Thess 2:18]

Constant bombardments have caused an inability to concentrate as hindrances, disruptions and distractions kept stealing my focus. Hindrances and distractions are definitely two weapons in Satan's arsenal, or tools in his burglary kit, whichever way you prefer to see it.

The thief comes not but to steal, to kill and to destroy, but Jesus came to give life abundantly. [Jn 10:10]

Patience is a tough one to learn, or rather, to wait out...

It is like every test and challenge that has ever had to be endured along this faith walk, this incredible journey, have all gathered together and come back around for the granddaddy of all exams. Holy Spirit, please help us (all of God’s people) to endure to the end, in the name above all names, Jesus the Christ of Nazareth [precious Yeshua, our Jesus].

No matter how organized I have tried to be, how carefully I determined to take care of details, it is like a new curveball gets thrown in my direction, catching me off guard, demanding my attention.

Yeshua, my Jesus, must come first [truly needs to start my day] …I have learned that no day goes right if I leave thanksgiving, prayer and Bible reading to a later time (which, yes, despite my best efforts, sometimes gets pushed back to much later in the day, and rarely, but again, yes...occasionally even missed, due to happenstance).

And seriously, on those days when everything else is sadly given first place, or if time with the Lord is neglected altogether, the day ends up as an unproductive, disorderly day. Time flies by too fast with hardly anything accomplished that I wanted to get done.

Everything God does is done decently and in order, but the world, flesh, and life have a way of interrupting most times. Friends [beautiful souls that they are] are greeted, emails taken care of, business calls addressed, and anything else that I can think of as needing attention.

I will spare all the details, but suffice it to say these distractions, disruptions, and hindrances are serious enough to cause concern and attention, and mostly prayer! The enemy is on a rampage because indeed, he knows his time is short. We all sense the foreboding.

We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed [2Cor 4:8]

Tests of obedience, honesty, integrity, morals, patience, humility, you name it…testing one, two, three. God knows how we will manage when every possible evil begins to rear its ugly head amidst the chaos of deception, but do we know how we will manage?

watch out for those
low-riding curve balls

We might think we do, especially since our confidence rests in Christ Jesus. But how are we doing in the trials coming our way in these days now? I have good days and bad days; days of success…and days to repent. Growing pains, learning curves…is there an end, Lord?

We know the answer. “No end to troubles on this side of eternity”:  So, with our face set like flint [strong, unwavering, determined], we cling to Jesus like healthy grapes cling to a strong vine!” Christ does help us. 

When my faith is as a grain of mustard seed (and believe me, some days, a grain is all I can muster, but praise God, it's a grain!), that is all it takes Jesus said to move [spiritual] mountains! 

Mountains! How about that! That is grand! I know it sounds surreal, crazy even...but I can give a firsthand account that God's Word is true. It is putting that faith in action, and God supernaturally, invisibly (call it what you will), but He truly does get us through

 Just don't give in to the devil's lies. He will speak in the first person, but turn deaf ears. We are in a spiritual battle, but our Commander in chief is Jesus. He will get us through each zone.

It is in our weakness that we embrace the strength so readily available in and through Jesus (Yeshua). He warned us that in this world we will have tribulation, but to be of good cheer (brave up) because He has overcome the world. [Jn16:33]

It is not easy, and the good Lord knows it! Jesus did not say the above words glibly; there was nothing insincere or shallow about anything He said or did. He wanted us to clearly understand that the world is fallen, but also that He is an ever-present help in trouble. [Ps 46:1]

Yahweh sent Jesus, and when He completed His earthly mission as Saviour / Redeemer, He sent the Holy Spirit to guide, comfort, strengthen and instruct us until His return. We are the last generation Christ Jesus spoke of. 

Many Hands Make Little Work - Piece by Piece It Comes Together

Show me Your ways, Lord, teach me Your paths. Guide me in Your truth and teach me, for You are God my Saviour, and my hope is in You all day long. [Ps 25:4-5]

The hindrances and distractions have been to keep all of us behind on things. Yet, for me, all this time, it is to keep me behind all else as the Lord unfolds things regarding Charlie and Erika Kirk.

But, here is the clincher! Believe it or not, all (this) and that too is strictly a distraction, albeit, a major distraction nonetheless. See what I mean now about weapons in Satan's arsenal?

Or should I say, handy (important) tools in the devil's toolbox? Have  you noticed how that expression is buzzing around since Canada's FREEDOM convoy back in 2022? 

Buzz words = tools, toolbox. Now we have a new distraction, err, I mean, a new 'freedom'...with Charlie Kirk.

 Moving forward...next!

Suddenly, the words "tools" and 'toolbox' were buzzing. They were being heard everywhere, even on major TV stations, social media platforms, and news sites. 

We mimic each other...they label it 'trending'...or call us 'sheeple'. No wonder plagiarists believe they can get away with stuff [whispers>>>and for the most part, they do] - 

... And even if, by some remote chance, they are caught, a shrug is given, and a 'who cares' is heard. Like when (no disrespect intended, Mrs. Melania Trump), but like when you plagiarized Michelle Obama's speech word for word. 

The people gasped, some covered their mouths, most shook their heads. Others chuckled, while still others clicked or clucked their tongues. And then:

... Everyone moved forward. Next!

We have a wise Creator. He does not give one person all of the answers. As any good Father [and He is Supreme, the best], He loves us too much to tell us everything. He is a Divine Protector. 

He also knows the carnal nature all too well, and how much it loves to be stroked, and how easily it becomes puffed up with pride. The living God would never set any one of His children up for a fall.

And no marvel; for Satan himself
is transformed into an
angel of light. [2Cor11:14]

Nor would Yahweh lead any one of His people into destruction, but we have an adversary who would. If we follow the wrong voice, it will lead us down a broad path. He will give a false prophet very convincing information (likely appearing as an angel of light, or counterfeiting the voice of God). 

Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall. [Prov16:18]

When a prophecy fails, Satan (or a [python] spirit of divination) laughs as the false prophet "humbly" (said with tongue in cheek) offers an explanation. I have yet to hear a false prophet admit they were wrong, but that does not mean that none of them have never said it. 

I just personally have not heard it. However, in all fairness, it is a big web [internet] and I am not omnipresent (everywhere at once: Shocker, I know). One scripture several of the false prophets often mention is: "[...] we see through a glass darkly." [1Cor13:12]

They often throw in: "We see in part and prophesy in part", further admitting that only God knows all things. [vs 9] And just to make sure that we drop any stones that may happen to be in our hands (and to get them dropped quickly to the ground if there are any), they will say, "I'm not a prophet."

But they also repeat, "Don't take my word for it; take it to the LORD!" (that's very popular - they all say that.

These foxy foxes make me angry. They cover their tracks and much more. They may fool the people (some, not all), but they NEVER fool God. (More on this in upcoming article. It makes me furious, yes, angry, righteous anger.

Here's a clue:  Just like the rest of us, the false prophets and false teachers, etc. all read comments too. They begin to delete; they begin to scrub; they begin to file down the rough edges, and polish up their presentation.

They adjust accordingly. They  are people pleasers. They also have the advantage of something else which I intend to talk about very clearly, and in some depth in near-future articles, as Jesus leads. Time is running out.

I refuse to coddle false prophets! Jesus did not. Elijah did not! Moses did not! God definitely does not.

Take heed no man (person) deceive you. (Jesus' warning) [Mat 24:4]

For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if possible, they shall deceive the very elect. (further warning by Jesus about these very days we are in now) [Mat 24:24]

Four times - FOUR - times in that short speech, Yeshua (our Jesus) spoke of deception. As I always say, for a man who did NOT waste words, for the Lord to repeat Himself four times like that, we really DO need to pay attention; to TAKE HEED no man (person) deceive us. Thank You Lord Jesus for the serious heads up!

                                

False prophets twist scripture just as surely as Satan does (and as he did in Eden). When one of their prophecies fail, they say: "You who are without sin, cast the first stone."  Another thing I have very often heard false prophets say is that they are not perfect, and that 'we all miss it sometimes'. 

Sometimes? If  the Holy Spirit is speaking through you, or if God gave you a message to speak forth, He will make no mistakes. 

Please know that. You will have to own the mistake. i emphatically repeat, El Shaddai [God Almighty] makes no mistakes. Repent and ask God to shut the mouths of the LYING lion (Satan) who deceived you.

We have all been deceived at some point. No? Did you ever believe in Santa Claus, or the tooth fairy, or the Easter bunny? Did you ever believe a lie someone that you loved told you, only to find out later that it was a lie?

Then you have been deceived. When you were a little child, did one of your parents tell you that chocolate milk comes from brown cows? Then, you have been deceived. 

Were you told that Adam and Eve ate an apple in the Garden? - that an apple was the "forbidden fruit"?

Then you have been deceived. It was probably Balaam's donkey or one of her distant cousins, a horse, that told you it was an apple. Then,  you have been deceived.

Nummy! Apples!

They wanted you to stop eating apples (IF, in fact, they are the forbidden fruit) because they love apples, and wanted them all to themselves.  Just saying...

By the by, a little trivia. 

Back to a more serious note, the Bible is silent about what kind of fruit the forbidden fruit was. However, a Jewish professor, Azzan Yadin-Israel, wrote a book called: Temptation Transformed (University of Chicago Press, 2022).

Azzan Yadin-Israel, professor
of Jewish Studies at
Ruegers University, New Brunswick, N.J.

He gave Andrea Alexander the answer from his studies that he wrote in his book. The information was given for a lecture that was held at Douglass Student Center in New Brunswick, New Jersey, in February 2023. She also submitted the information in an article that she wrote for Rutgers University.

It all started back when the Bible was translated into Latin. In that language, the word "malum" happens to be a homonym of the Latin word for both "evil or bad" and "apple". A homonym is when one word with the same spelling has two separate meanings. 

For example:

* lead -- "a metal", or to "guide someone"

One word, same spelling, two separate meanings. The pronunciation for both words is identical, and transliterated into English in the same way, creating what has been called a "well-known linguistic coincidence".

Azzan Yadin-Israel wrote: "Since, the argument goes, the forbidden fruit caused the fall of man and humanity's expulsion from paradise, it is certainly a terrible malum ("evil"). So what fruit is a more likely candidate than the malum, "apple". this view has become received wisdom and is found in scholarly works across fields and disciplines."

That is interesting, is it not? Even though it is proven that the misunderstanding is due to a language barrier, or where one word took on two separate meanings, it is still an accepted work amongst scholars.

That makes me shake my head. It is like opening one's arms to deception.

End of trivia.

Back to the false prophets...

Pride keeps some of the false prophets from mentioning Romans 3:23, where it is written that ALL have fallen short of His glory, not some, but all of us. A-L-L. --- ALL! 

Like Porky Pig always said: "That's all, folks!"

ALL
 have fallen short

God Does Not Reveal Everything to Any One Person

What a Creator we have! His eye for detail and beauty is unmatched! Why, oh my, just look at the false teachers and false prophets who strut around now like a beautiful peacock with its plumage in full colourful display.

What a marvellous Creator we have!

They would have us believe that God tells them everything. And no rudeness toward you intended, Mr. Troy Black, but you make it seem like El Shaddai gives you the goods on a great number of people. Firstly, God is NOT a gossip.

It seems God tells you more than He told His good friend, Abraham. Good gracious, He did not even tell His only begotten and much beloved Son everything [in whom He is well pleased -- [Mat 3:17] ... such as the day or the hour that Jesus would be returning. Well, maybe He has been waiting to tell you. 

My apologies, I am being facetious. But when you post these videos time and time again with the titles promoted by "seducing spirits" aka "clickbait", are you targeting the naive, or the prophet chasers, or silly women? (and the innocent, those searching for truth but are not yet saved)?

Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For among them are those who creep into households and capture weak women, burdened with sins and led astray by various lusts [passions], always learning, and never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth. [2Tim 3:5-7]

The Great TPUSA Distraction

I added much more to this article than I had originally intended, but there were things I felt had to be said. May the Holy Spirit do what He does best, and lead people where they will best be fed spiritually, helping them to discern, and teaching them what to look for in order to discern properly.

And to all the false teachers that tell people, "Don't judge", you need to learn that discernment requires judgment. One has to 'judge' to discern 'good' from 'evil', 'right' from 'wrong', 'truth' from 'error'. 

When Jesus spoke about not judging, He meant that we can NOT judge whether a person will go to heaven or not because He is not willing that ANY should perish, but that ALL (there's that word again), should come to repentance. 

However, will ALL come to repentance? Sadly, no. We know that not all will because it is written that there will be a falling away in the end times. That means walking away from the faith, not embracing it. 

We need to be able to discern (judge) the wolves in sheep's clothing, the goats, the hirelings, the charlatans, etc. We need to be able to judge, to discern, the familiar spirits, the seducing spirits, etc. It is Satan that does not want us to judge. We are to judge righteous judgment.

And when He comes, He will convince 
the world of sin, and of righteousness,
and of judgment [Jn 16:8]

The first place we begin is with humility, and humbly praying for the help, wisdom, and guidance of the Holy Spirit, giving thanks to our King and Lord for teaching us; thanking Him for His Word. That is the next place where we go to learn about righteous judgment. 

We need to feed our spiritual man with the Bread of Life, and to nourish ourselves with living Water. Jesus is those things, and He is written about throughout the entire Bible, from the Old and New Testament alike. 

We need the Lord and we need to involve Jesus/Yeshua wholly in our surrendered life. You will not regret it. He will be our strength, our wisdom, our everything if we let Him.

Yes, I know, even the false prophets are saying that now. They have the advantage of AI (Did you wonder how we would do "greater works than Jesus"? We will never out-do the Lord...but AI, and other incredible technologies will surely be advantageous to this last generation.

Who is Charlie Kirk?

At first, when I stumbled across the news of Charlie Kirk's assassination, I was working on my War and Witchcraft series. I had never heard of Charlie Kirk before or a magazine called Jezebel.

However, I happened upon a news article that had been written and put in Jezebel, an extreme feminist magazine. According to Newsweek, the magazine wrote an article stating: Esty witches paid to curse Charlie Kirk. 

That was the beginning of the piecing together of this more recent and one of the last big distractions that I have been mentioning. What I have come up with comes from the leading and direction of the Lord.

However, it has come over time (Kirk was assassinated on July 20, 2025) with the leading of the Lord, much researching, much prayer and many tears, and the help of many hands belonging to people I most likely will never meet on this side of heaven. Some of those hands are simply dirty, and we do not want to touch them.

The piecing together of the Charlie Kirk story all began with a verse on conspiracy.

For the Lord spoke to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying, A conspiracy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A conspiracy; neither fear their fear, nor be afraid.

Sanctify the Lord of hosts Himself; and let HIM be  your fear, and let HIM be your dread. [Is 8:11-13]

At first I was almost convinced that the Lord was instructing me not to join people in their conspiratorial thoughts regarding the assassination of Charlie Kirk, or the bizarre grieving of his wife, Erika. 

In fact, I confided that exact understanding to a close friend (who, unbeknownst to me, had already heard of the shooting of Kirk - but then again, she is American).But that was not what He was saying. Remember, Satan uses scripture too.

I returned to pray about it and felt the nudging in my spirit to go back to Isaiah 8 and read what the chapter was about, and glean any message the good Lord may be speaking to me through His Word.

Fear God
Wait for the Lord

When I returned to the book of Isaiah, chapter eight, my attention was immediately drawn to a subtitle that was posted directly above  verse 11, which was the scripture I was moved to begin with and write down.

It said: Fear God, Wait for the Lord, and near it was written: Fear God's power, not man's. That truly spoke to me because I was searching the Word, during prayer time with the Lord, regarding this man Kirk and his assassination.

A man certainly feels powerful when he has a weapon in his hand, but no matter what, God's power is greater. In re-reading the verses that I had read before, the words that seemed highlighted were in verse 12 which mentions a conspiracy, with the instructions: "neither fear their fear nor be afraid".

He speaks to us through His Word, and yes (though some disagree) in our hearts. His faithfulness of Adonai is immeasurable. In the upcoming articles, I will break down more the way the Lord reveals and is leading me.

Team work, not a competition against each other
Let us love one another - I love you...
We need to be working as one body,
with Christ Jesus as the Head.
Without the head, the body dies.
Selah...

And I love how He speaks through others, too. It is NOT a competition. We are to work as a team. Jesus meant for us to be one body working together, with Him as the HEAD. Without the head, the body dies. We need Jesus, admit it or not.

Israel was mentioned in scripture in Isaiah eight, and I sensed an alert in my spirit. It is the first mention, but more were to come (and all this is STILL a work in progress).

So much is happening in the world, is it not? Yet, we can and must rest and trust in Him. Be anxious for nothing, take all to Him in prayer, with thanksgiving. [Phil 4:6] Jesus comforts us.

Over the course of the next few weeks, step by step, He has led, is leading, and will lead. The Lord is not in a hurry, but He does have appointed times and things planned. He is the Providential God, Sovereign, majestic.

We are His children, His people, and we are at His command. Is it not glorious? What an honour, what a joy to be His...Thank You for all You did, are doing, and will do for us, Jesus. 

Next came the scriptures in Matthew 24, take heed no man deceive you – Jesus/Yeshua warning about being deceived, to guard against it four times in that chapter.  I am mentioning scriptures, words, verses, etc, but not in the order given or led. Then Egypt was highlighted, but so was the word “idolatry”, and Israel, and judgment. David, Bathsheba, Delilah, Jezebel, Solomon. 

If you try and guess, you likely will guess wrong. There is much to sort through, but I am cherry-picking from memory, and it is not in the order that I was led. It is not going to all be written here, not now. I am getting tired.

How I love Israel, but not as much as our Creator does. But if we are ungrateful children; if we become rebellious and disobedient, we will earn His wrath, His anger. Throughout history, God's people would go through stages, obey and worship, rebel and commit idolatry.

Look at the nations today. Are any a fine example of grateful, loving children? Whatever we want to do, we do it. Are we at the place yet where it is written that everyone does what is right in their own eyes?  Yet, He was pointing to Israel, time and again…and judgment. Why, Lord, I asked. At the beginning, I fasted and prayed. Hindrances, distractions…it was getting frustrating.

I do not believe in replacement theology, nor am I against Israel. But throughout its history, Israel, like the rest of us, kept getting into hot water and disobeying God. What are you showing  me, Lord?

Behind the Beautiful Mask

Erika Kirk, how I prayed…how badly I felt for being suspicious of her. She was part of the reason for the fast. How could I be so cold-hearted, suspecting; it would not shake free.

red warning flag waving

Deception, deception – red flags were waving.  The Lord reminded me of when He moved on me to write about the season of Judas’ (plural) back in June 2025.

He brought up Jezebel, a word I am slow to use, always have been because too many in the church seem to call everyone they do not like or they disagree with a “Jezebel”. It was after the word was highlighted in the Bible (I had hung onto it for awhile), that I stumbled across the story of Charlie Kirk. The Jezebel magazine had published a story.

There is much more I have been working on, but the distractions, the hindrances…have been unavoidable, and so frustrating. right now, our beautiful just turned two-year-old Bluetick hound dog mix is very sick. We are not sure what is wrong...pray the Lord keeps His hand upon Him and heal him, or at least, hold him steady until my pension comes in or we get resources, hopefully in a couple of days.

I might have chewed this branch too much

this will bring it back to life

It didn't grow back when
it was watered. How come?
Now what to do...thinking, thinking...

Noble is a big dog, but he just turned two a couple of weeks ago. It is my son's dog. He is a mutt lol - His parents were Bluetick Coonhound dog and Boxer, so those are the most dominant features. 

However, he is also Bulldog and Golden Retriever. Huh? Yeah, I know, I know - quite the combo.

For the longest time I kept calling him a Bluetooth Coonhound dog. Talk about "programmed", lol... 

I could not quite get used to Bluetick  (I think it is because I do not like ticks. Haha). I have it under control now - Bluetick coonhound dog.

We are not quite sure what is wrong. He limps he barely gets up. He finally ate today, but he will not drink water. He will eat ice cubes though. Praise God. He has an ear infection, and possibly stomach problems. Please pray if you are so led...until we can get him to a vet. 

His name is Noble because we wanted him to somehow honour the Creator - who gave him life, and gave him to us. People are frightened because of his deep, loud bark, and his size. But he is very gentle, not aggressive; does not go up to people and bark. They soon get over their initial fear when they see his demeanour is gentle and calm. Bless the Lord

Now, his getting sick is a major hindrance...a major distraction. He whimpers and cries out a lot, and needs much love and attention right now. It hurts to see him suffer;  one fights tears, but we serve an awesome God, and today there was a slight improvement, meaning - he ate, and took several ice cubes.

We will wait upon the Lord. Noble is such a good boy. God loves him even more than we do. I have peace in my heart. It is always good to get ourselves to the place of rest in Jesus. Amen

Wrapping It Up for Now

I will stop here for now just to post this much. I am so far behind…I have many file folders filled with topics, complete with links for work done by others. People put time and effort into their work. It is only proper to give credit where credit is due, and acknowledge the name of the contributor. 

The Lord is faithful. This so-called “revival” was/is not of God. Many believe it is, but no…not this one. Those of us who are the  more mature Christians long for the youth who are lost, or who are the prodigals, to come into the kingdom. 

With each generation, the middle-aged and elderly state that the youth are "the future", which is true. The cycle of life continues, from birth to the grave. Hope is always in the 'new', the 'youth'.

The elderly are supposed to possess patience and compassion, which come from long lessons of "learning to wait" teaches. With the ancient is wisdom, and with length of days comes understanding. [Job 12:12]

Those in the middle can glean from the youth because it was not so long ago for them, and they remember. Together, they can rejoice in their walk. They to find truth amidst all this deception, to find hope, understanding, encouragement, but mostly, loving acceptance . 

For the Lord to strengthen them, and ground them in truth.

And it is sad about this so-called revival, but God is not done. Satan is not the victor. Jesus  is…always! Emotionalism hit the globe - majorly. Let us continue to pray. There will be a  great falling away. Already we are witnessing it with the scandals that have been revealed in the past few years.

 I am believing the Lord to touch the hearts of those rejected, abused, misunderstood, abandoned, taken advantage of, given false hope, the prodigals, the searching...Your will be done, Father. Be glorified.

Familiar Spirits

Satan is a liar, a counterfeiter, a deceiver. He came to steal, to kill, and to destroy. Prayer is going up. The Lord may call for a fast. This is a heads up. I cannot say for sure, but it is a possible. 

He deals with us individually and corporately. Whether He leads me to fast and pray, and likely others (privately). He deals with us in wisdom, knowing the circumstances and individual situations. All is in His competent hands.

We are all going through a lot these days. It is a busy, chaotic time. We can wholly trust in Jesus, undoubtedly.

Delilah and Jezebel...these were two women who were likely very attractive seducing spirits. They were manipulative, and the men seemed to be quite smitten with them. 

Delilah betrayed Samson. He did not trust her at first, but she sweet-talked him into trusting her and for the love of money, she handed him over to his enemy...

Samson had wisdom, and was not easily manipulated. Yet, he loved her. It took Delilah several attempts before she successfully discovered his secrets. [Judges 16:18]

What is the Lord telling us by turning the spotlight on Delilah and Samson? Was it that Samson revealed his "secrets" [his "strong" points [strength]) to her? 

David and Bathsheba

King David and beautiful Bathsheba

David and Bathsheba, these are souls and their stories that were brought to my attention. King David was taken in by her beauty...he was a man in a position of leadership. 

Bathsheba's husband was taken out of the way. She was pregnant. It is a sad story...betrayal, deception, lust. So what is the Lord revealing?

I will likely have to fast further to find out why the Lord put this couple upon my heart. It is most troubling.

What is Israel doing that we may not know about, but God does? Why is the word judgment coming before my eyes with different scriptures. More on this in another article, but I am searching. I love Israel; it is because of their rebellion that I, as a Gentile, was able to come to Jesus.

Like I said, I have always stood by Israel because we are the wild branch grafted, but we cannot be caught up in the sins of Israel if they are once more rebelling or into idolatry.

We know that for the most part, they have not understood that Yeshua (our Jesus) is their Messiah. There are certainly Messianic Jews in Israel, but the majority of the nation has not accepted Jesus.

Also, and it grieves me to say this, but Israel has the largest PRIDE (gay parade) in the middle EAST, in Tel Aviv. 2024 was different, in that they had no parades due to the hostages still held by Hamas. June is Pride Month – Tel Aviv

What connection does Israel have with TPUSA because it was another reason that I did a seven-day fast - to pray. (I was very upset with myself for having doubts and suspicions regarding Erika. It still has not settled. I am learning more...

I posted it as hints a few weeks ago. It was well over a month ago that the Lord highlighted David and Bathsheba, and I broke down crying, not knowing why. Hindrances - distractions. Seducing spirits...warning, warnings!

Yahweh has raised His providential hand...be encouraged. Be strengthened.

Jesus/Yeshua has been training us, answering our prayers for increased discernment, for strengthening, for increased wisdom, and healing. We look eagerly for direction. Our arms open to welcome more into the kingdom of God. Think about it. All the angels rejoice over one soul, ONE soul who repents. Can you imagine what a party is going with many? 

Growing pains are never enjoyable, but the benefits are worth it. Critical thinking is something that needs to be combined with the Word of God and prayer. Let us keep trusting God.

Jesus never fails.

for His glory

PS This has been so frustrating. Constantly today my daughter wants to talk to me (she's 41), and every time I am doing stuff she comes in. I love my daughter, absolutely, but I feel today the interruptions have been so many, I think there has been some help on the spiritual side to 'hinder' me. I am so tired, I will have to check for editing tomorrow 25 or 26th- BP
