Eze. 33:1-6: Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman: If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people; Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head. He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul. But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand.

Lock-down

Here is another word we can add to the English language - "lock-down". One good thing about this global situation is that it gives us almost unlimited time and just as many many opportunities to answer questions relating to the historic times being lived and which ultimately will lead us back to The Word and The Kingdom of Heaven "coming to earth as it is in Heaven" (Mat 6:10 also Mat 6:11 may be becoming a reality for many in these times as well.)

These prevailing circumstances, whether man induced or not, have been allowed to exist because YHWH has permitted them and thus I am of the unapologetic opinion that, that being the case, we as believers in Messiah Yeshua have nothing to fear on condition that we make every effort to repent and return to His Word as led by The Ruach HaKodesh in and through the High Priesthood of Yeshua our Messiah, King and Shepherd (Hos 4:6 as read with Mal 4:4-6).

A few days ago I was asked to comment on an article purportedly originating out of China and relating to the COVID 19 situation - here is my answer, it is a lengthy read but it may be of interest and we have lots of time. The original has been amended in places to suit this addressed forum.

I have read this article you posted before, I obviously have my concerns regarding the authenticity of it, however that having been said, we can take it as common cause that the globe is facing unprecedented chaos and whether it may have been man made or not; whether it is as dangerous as said or not is really quite irrelevant now because it is here and the powers that be have forced it upon us and the consequences of that action on their behalf will be irreparable, and to be perfectly honest with you I believe what we are experiencing presently is only the beginning of "the birth pains" and the stage is being set for a complete global "re-make" at every level of society and having been forced of the streets and locked up in our houses, we are entirely at the mercy of the powers that be!

I have had some exposure to the workings and machinations of Governments, organised religions, the UN and the like and my experience has taught me that it is naive of us to even think that Governments have our best interests at heart, all governments and their systems are subject to the world bankers and we are only granted an illusion of choice and as for bodies such as UN, WHO and CDC these are just arms of the New World Order and they are calling the shots.

I go into discussing Political Correctness a little later on in this, but as for now allow me to just touch on one of their arsenal of tactics they use to scare of any opposition to their planned takeover - to anyone who will say anything contradictory to them - they scream CONSPIRACY THEORIST and then everybody backs off as if the accused one is leprous and this places the "accused" in total isolation - this will get worse as we have the 5G introduced with all its litany promoting Social Justice through facial recognition, social distancing, global cryptocurrencies, forced vaccinations et al. 

So to get to answer your question will need me to lay a foundation as seen from my Biblical / Historical opinion because to just give a simplified answer I believe will stretch our present understanding of "normal" and "credible" too far and leave one grasping for a foothold in the torrent this may cause. We really need to remember that we will get progressively more and more challenged by a mirror reality following the evil lust of the human unrepentant hearts (right is wrong, wrong is right; Is 5:20); so this mail may be a long read and I apologise in advance for that but I need to first set a few facts straight before answering your questions. I believe that we need to understand the bigger picture and what / who is behind this - if we can grasp that we can approach this developing situation with more understanding, and as we used to say in the Police then we can become more pro-active and not just reactive.

Man made solutions are not going to get this one fixed up, and in fact I think this may very well be a case of "never let a good crisis go to waste" (Rahm Emanuel). The world leaders have for the last however many centuries been getting us into more and more debt and we have allowed ourselves to be blindly herded towards a serfdom form of governance. Government assisted medical aids, education, pensions and so forth and as can be seen today, they have, in my opinion, set the stage for the formation of a "super-communism" form of global power resembling a hybrid of social-nationalism and fascism which has made of us all a surrogate offspring of nanny states which, I am also of the opinion, has been enabled by the main-line religious denominations cloning the codependency that they have with the States wherein we now all live and which is now called normal.

If we take a moment to think this statement through we can see this codependency between state and citizen is very clearly demonstrated in every country on earth. Although the Governments need us more than we need them, they, by their state funding and grants have made us, us upon whom they depend, their cash cows; their geese who lay the golden eggs so to speak, and we in return have been forced into servitude. So regardless of what -ism a Government is labelled or what name a religion is know by, simply because they (we) are conjoined they (we) walk in a union and union that we are in with these Countries, Sovereign States, Colonies, Republics are all owned by their Central / Reserve Banks (CB). A point to ponder here, all these CB's are private entities who are never democratically elected and are all answerable only to the IMF and/or World Bank, thus we (the people) and our Governments de-facto serve the IMF - now that being said let us recognise that we are in the situation which Yeshua, with absolutely no ambiguity all, stated in Mat 6:24 as being an impossible situation - read the entire context of this verse, it is a radical statement to make especially in today's western world - and this is where we find ourselves today!
 
The Truth is indeed radical and the lie of the world is the normal and acceptable and thus the need for the extra long intro.

Now [in our respective societies] there is an illusion of [choice whereby] we are allowed to make choices when voting, but this is only an illusion simply because the CB's (IMF / WB) need to get the dividends and returns on their money which they lent to our Governments. Through this process the wealth of the global middle-class is being (please forgive the cliche but I think this best describes them) rapidly redistributed to the "upper 1%". We know now that the the CBs', through their printing presses and fiat currencies, have made themselves the buyers and sellers of final resort. We know all the CB's are answerable to The World Bank (WB) and the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), however for now they still need a fiat currency for global trade and their chosen currency for this trade is still by-en-large done with US$'s thereby making the entire world responsible for this massive Zimbabwe style hyper-inflation being brought about by US financial and foreign polices, a hyper-inflation which is already here. [Here follows an addition I have placed in this mail at time of this posting for purposes of further explanation] The USA is already so completely bankrupt that they are owned by the IMF consequently all the resources the FED are now pumping into the Global Economy to "rescue it" is counterfeit and owned by the IMF. Now when the US economy collapses, and it will, the IMF, via the monies channeled through the respective countries CB's, will own the world!  

To achieve where we are today there has had to be wars and rumours of wars [leading to famines & petulance] and all sides participating in these wars have been financed by the "Super-Powers" and their military industrial warlords who in their turn have been borrowing money from the CB's, who get their money from the WB - so it does not matter who wins or looses, the Banks get their pound and more of flesh as demanded by Shakespeare's Shylock and thus ever increasing the servitude to debt through the Bretton Woods Keynesian based global economic policies. Mat 24:7-8

To brainwash the people there have been a few basic systems put in place to advance and achieve this utopia envisioned by the NWO, the 1% (again please excuse the pun). This NWO all begun in The Garden in Gen 3. This world (antichrist / beast) system if you will, are precipitated in my opinion on the 5 Maslow hierarchy of needs which begins with the basic need of physiological provision and then progressing through safety, belonging, esteem and ending in self-actualization. 
 
This "hierarchy of needs" is humanistic and totally devoid of YHWH Elohim as led by our Shepherd, Yeshua. We have become our own gods, providing for our own needs, charting our own course through life by conforming to, and being accepted by a fallen society, so that finally we achieve what we actualise and dreamt of as the best and most desirable goals for our own lives BUT only to arrive there and see that it is not all we may have though it to be.

You see this self replication of the Maslow Hierarchy is empowered by a repetitive cycle of religious and educational systems incorporating instant self-gratification (selfishness); this self-gratification, also a form of self-ratification (read self-justification based on our humanistic interpretation of life) is a voracious beast. This beast cannot be satiated and therefore perpetuates a need (addiction / greed) to strive to get more gratification / acceptance / pleasure / material or other "wealth" desiring all the while to become more acceptable in our own eyes and thus we can never quite reach our envisaged goal being that our actualization keeps growing / changing and we in turn are driven to just keep chasing this "nirvana".

This "nirvana", the goals and ambitions of our lives are in actual fact only our own fallen justified "human" desires of what we think we need / want / are required to do in the pursuit of this envisioned goal, a goal which consumes our lives, a goal which is based on our concept of what is good and what is evil. 
 
But herein lies another problem which we should look at whilst in this area of "goal" searching / achieving / actualization - all the while whilst trying to achieve our idea of what our life's purpose (goal) is, our goal, for whatever reason BUT through unforeseen and often inexplicable events (global "lock-down"?), morphs into other versions of our self-actualization. These altered versions of our life goals more often than not require plan changes which come with come other unplanned variables and which now need to be confronted in order for the ever changing goals of our "self-actualization" to be reached. See Gen 3:5 - fallen man bases his concept of right and wrong, fair and unfair, good and evil, goal setting etc on his own fallible mind and opinions.

Needless to say this ever  morphing self-actualization often, if not inevitably will require more and more resources (read money - mammon) to enable us to climb this perpetually evolving hierarchy of needs in our attempt of the Nivana of our self-actualization.

You may be getting what I am trying to say here now - this self-actualization, no matter how right we may believe it to be, when attempted without Elohim and HIS Way, can only be achieved, as I have said, within the confines of our own fallen concept of what is good and what is evil, and because we are now totally self-centered and flesh driven we cannot ever please HIM and find HIS Infinite and perfectly correct way of building His Kingdom here on earth, and so like the hamster, we tread the mill, or maybe even more pathetic, like the goldfish we swim around our bowl forever forgetting but forever trying to get different results from the same repeated exercises (Gen 3:4-5 and Ecc 1:8-11)

In an attempt to achieve this personal-actualization (which is where we as a society are hoping to arrive so as to realise Maslow's hierarchy of safety, acceptance and esteem), we need to be remembering that each person in any given society is just a part of the whole by fractal design, consequently a social-design is required to foment this goal of a "humanly inspired and conspired concept" of self-actualization.

There are safe guards built into every "human society" to protect the "integrity" (foundations) of said society in which we function and live regardless of what those foundations may be. If the integrity of said society is impinged upon then the "safe guards" (law and penal codes) are invoked and in such an event one may well be expelled from said society and such expulsion (ostracisation) is devastating to ones' entire social and physiological existence - in course of fact ONE CEASES TO EXIST.

But what has this to do with anything? Well as explained above this design of human society is based on human logic, fallen human definitions of right and wrong and so forth which means that there is by default this need for a continual morphing (shall we say mutating) chain of events being utilised to maintain this utopia of self expression and self-actualization and so therefore by its' very existence, such a society (read world) is in constant state of flux (remember though that the Truth never changes), and said society (remember the fractal component - see global unity [NWO]) is forever moving further and further away from the seemingly hard, stoic, immovable foundation of the old fashioned Truth  - away from YHWH and more and more like fallen man and his master HaSatan (John 8:44) towards our lies based on our perceptions. There shall come a time, and that time may very well be upon us now, when our Creator says ENOUGH IS ENOUGH and HE allows the systems to destroy themselves. He withdraws Himself!

To supplant this Eternal & Immutable Truth of The Creator with the law of man (actually Satan) has been a 6000 yr process and this process has required constant change being implemented degree by degree at an imperceptibly slow rate by the chosen weapons of the enemy (lies and ultimately murder - John 8:44-45 arw James 4:1-4).

Remember in The Garden man deemed himself to be like Elohim making his own decisions without the assistance of The Creator, therefore after his fall and expulsion from the Garden, man, not having a relationship with The Creator, set out on his own mission to create his own Eden (Utopia, Nirvana etc) through his own methods - Tower of Babel. ..... Fast forward to 1917 - the birth of the USSR and it's Communist Revolution ....... 
 
Communism, although declaring itself atheist is in fact a religion, a secular religion in and of itself, an -ism which believes ONLY IN COMMUNISM and places absolute faith in the State and the collectivism of the proletariat which is really under the direct control of the iron grip of the Politburo. 
 
Communism made it abundantly and undeniably clear that NO OTHER  RELIGIONS WERE TOLERATED! - So in 1917 Marxism, although born in The Garden, was presented to the world and was founded on the absolute need to overthrow / supplant western Capitalism, but unfortunately for Communism it never took root in the Capitalistic West. This same Communism, but with different hues was birthed in China, North Korea, Cuba and the Eastern Block countries, and where if they tolerated any form of religion - that particular brand of religion was just a vassal of the Communist state. Look closely and we see it has happened in the USA as well by invoking the 501(c)(3) churches TAX Exemption. Remember Mat 6:24 - the love of money and the service of Mammon restricts the Truth!

But we need to bear in mind that the ultimate goal of Communism was the eradication of Western Culture based on certain liberties and CAPITALISM, so the approach used in agrarian and impoverished Russia and other countries was not going to work in a rich and by-en-large contented Capitalistic western culture governed by a more lenient and progressive form of Governance thus this then meant that if the originators of Communism wanted to succeed in the Capitalistic West they now needed to change their approach when dealing with the Western European and US Societies because remember there is a constant need for change in arriving at the ever changing personal / social-actualized goals of Maslow. This required change to strategy was introduced by a more concentrated effort to change the social perceptions in these Western Countries because to challenge the economic perception in these countries was pointless because the majority were comfortable and happy. 
 
So to destroy Capitalism [taking away all the WEALTH and placing it in the hands of the STATE so as to effectively control the people and thus taking away the right of Freedom of Choice] the Marxists needed a new approach and this approach would be achieved through a two pronged attack centering on attacking the Western Capitalistic societal perception. (This two-pronged approach is aptly described as the Sword and Shield by Political commentator Bill Whittle)

This two pronged social reform/change was introduced firstly by the implementation of a divide and conquer strategy and was/is referred to as critical theory (CT): This CT would divided up the prevailing Western societies along lines of differences. Basically this strategy concentrated on causing greater division where there was already social differences, some of which were already being addressed but now forcing the situations and causing social unrest and secondly where it was thought to be expedient introducing the seeds of division in areas where division did not even exist - the application of CT can be seen presented where the African Americans were told that their labour had built up the USA and now they, the African Americans, were being marginalized whilst their white compatriots were eating of the fruits of the African Americans' labour; by convincing women that they were being suppressed by their husbands, as they, the women, were being held back through pregnancies and such like whilst the hubbies gadded about .. so the list goes on stirring up Hispanics, Homosexuals et al all the while breaking down a cohesive social order. 

The second prong to this attack introduced after having begun to divide Western Society through their so-called "critical theory"(CT) was named Political Correctness (PC). What CT achieved was the  sowing of the seed of division of society into "opposing groups" (I say groups because it was aimed at all levels of society, male / female; sexual orientation; racial differences; political preferences and so on) and thereby drawing one group of people (the supposedly "oppressed") towards the Communist plan or manifesto, a group which were later called the "proletariat", an increasingly emboldened group who now began to see any who did not agree with their grievance as the "bourgeoisie".

What PC, as the second prong for this attack, would achieve for this emerging group who were beginning to feel (believe?) they were disenfranchised and discriminated against was to give them a more vocal platform from which they were now being led to express what they felt, and there was nothing wrong with that, HOWEVER being that many of their actual grievances were based on opinions, feelings and concepts and being mostly subjective political rhetoric that often lacked objectivity, they became more emotional resulting in any form of opposition to their opinions being taken as personal insults / attacks and were thus deemed as racial or discriminatory or offensive - and as such the "offended party", considered it was well within his/her rights to refuse to speak to the person defending the Status Quo. 
 
Since basically the 60's and especially these last 30 years, if being honest, we can witness to the CT advances being ferociously protected by PC agenda and we are also able to see that the vast majority of social change has been forced upon the majority and that the arguments of these "Social Warriors"  are devoid of substance and cannot stand up to scrutiny and debate because their arguments are by-en-large without perspective and based primarily on subjectivity (feelings) and not on facts. 

Before we go on, I would like to just plant something here for your thoughtful consideration - A Political Journalist, J R Nyquist from the 11th minute has made the argument that the Deep State (1%) are actually Communists who began to infiltrate the US Government in the 1930 when FDR recognised Russia and began to have diplomatic contact with them, this opinion makes sense to me - just take a look at The Democrats today.  In the same link he and found at the 23rd minute and 44th minute the point was made that the CCP and other communist leaders are all psychopaths and that this condition allows them to rule as they do. He further stated that his source has said that the Western World cannot ever even comprehend the plans of the Communists (especially the Chinese) and how far they will go to achieve their goals simply because their rationale cannot be fathomed by normal thinking humans and being that they are sociopaths they have no empathy or consideration for any other person. Just something to chew on when we try to piece together what these world powers are all about and why normal rationale and empathy just does not seem to apply. I fear the same is also very much the case with Western leaders as well, they just achieve their goal via other paths of social conduct.

Now as we move into the home straight things have rapidly moved up a gear and by the use of CT and PC in this post-modern - relative -truth milieu, the enemy has basically managed to make Truth and the defence of it a crime against humanity and any attempt to try and turn society (largely millennial and who are today's voters of choice and tomorrows de-facto leaders) is now an impossibility. I am not picking on the Millennial's or the Generation Z's they, like everybody before them, are a product of a society governed by Education, Entertainment, Fashion and the likes, however it is my considered opinion that the changes in these areas in the last 40 years have been so vast and fast that the chasm and social differences between them and the Baby Boomers (that being us) is unbridgeable on any social, physiological, moral or ethical levels, this divide can only be bridged successfully by a Divine change of Heart through Messiah and thereby effecting a LOVE for HIS Kingdom and HIS Ruling and life giving Covenant of Truth (Eph 2 - the entire chapter).  But that is a discussion for another time. 

That briefly is how I see the history of our physical decline and fall as a people to the levels we are today, but to try and get a more balanced picture we will need to apply the Hebraic mindset or approach; we will need to weave in the Spiritual as well. To do that allow me to begin with 2 Thes 2:3 the Great Apostasy (meaning to sign a letter or writ of divorce) which is prophesied to have to take place first.

Now I believe that this Apostasy may have already taken place and here is why I hold that opinion at this time and understanding of Scripture: 
 
The Word Apostasy comes from the Greek Apostasia which means to defect from the Truth, to divorce or to sign a writ of divorce. This word, Apostasia is only used in one other place in the Word and that is in Acts 21:21 and here we read that Sha'ul (Paul) is by told by The Apostles that "those zealous for the Law" had accused Sha'ul of teaching the Jews amongst the Gentiles to "forsake" (Apostasia) Moses". The Apostles, as we read, suggested that to show that he had in no way tried to get them to forsake (Apostasia) The Law of Moshe and that he, Sha'ul, indeed walked according to the Law of Moses himself, should attend the Temple and pay for the Sacrifices pertaining to the Law of The Nazarite as required by Law by the "Law of Moses".

Because this word Apostasia, was only used only twice in the Brit Chadasah and on both occasions refered to the Apostasia from The Law of Moses and which is referred to as The Truth in 2 Thes 2:3 - leads me to believe then that when the Writ was instituted by Constantine in CE321 that the Sunday was to be the venerable day of the sun and as such was the civil day of mandatory rest and adhered to by "The Church" with seemingly no resistance from those "representing" the Ecclesia  the Church Fathers thereby agreed to supplant the 7th Day Sabbath (The Sign of The Covenant - Ex 31:13ff) and replace it with Sunday, by default the Ecclesia and those knowingly following there example fell away from Messiah and by association signed a Writ to confirm their Apostasia. We now await the Son of Perdition.

So what has all this to do with the question you posed in you mail?

Do go through it and tell me we are not now seeing our worst fears being
developed in front of us?
Almost apocalyptic in its essence.
So sad that we as 'human's treat each other so despairingly.
Look, Steve my old mate this is serious stuff
And it needs to be treated with a judicious mind.

As I said at the outset I would take the time to expound on the back-ground so that I am able to address your request with a judicious mind and factual base. This approach is necessary as we, because of our culture and educational Western Greek background, have a subjective "linear" based philosophical and dispensational view of life and world events. The Hebraic Biblical mindset on the other hand has an objective and functional circular understanding of life and history.

The Greek mindset therefore accordingly applies a form of knowledge which is attained by a process of human mental assent based on a philosophical pattern of said human logic; therefore to a large degree we are governed by our thoughts, opinions and conclusions based on our own reasoning, feelings and observations. (Gen 3:22-23 - Then the LORD God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of us in knowing good and evil. Now, lest he reach out his hand and take also of the tree of life and eat, and live forever—”   therefore the YHWH Elohim sent him out from the garden of Eden to work the ground from which he was taken.)

The Hebraic mindset on the other hand applies a form of knowledge which is attained by a process of objective functionality and therefore is based on experiences which more often than not cannot be explained.

The Greek mindset is led by personal inner thoughts and ideas being executed to achieve goals (if you can dream it you can do it - remember Maslow - personal actualization of goals?)

Hebraic mindset on the other hand is led by unexplained events happening in real time which directs and influence their paths -

To better explain the Hebraic mindset I will expound just a little on Ps 23:3 and so as to allow Scripture to explain Scripture I shall also have a quick look at Eph 2:8-10 -

Ps. 23:3 - He restoreth (turns back, leads back, returns to a starting point) my soul (a living creature, a soul, self, life, mind, desire): [so that] He [can / is able to] lead (guide, govern, control, transport, shepherd) me in the paths (a walk a path, in a Way, revolving  and repeatedly repeating itself) of righteousness (to be made right, to be cleansed, brought into a right relationship both morally and forensically - legally) for his Names (for the purpose of making known, making visible His Authority, His purposes, His being His Character and His Way) sake.

Eph 2:8-10 tells us that we are saved by Faith through Grace and not because of our own works (works/actions  attributed to human logic / efforts without the leading / prompting of The Ruach HaKodesh through Yeshua at every level) SO THAT WE CAN DO HIS WORKS PREPARED FOR US INDIVIDUALLY BEFORE TIME. Works done out of relationship with Yeshua - A RELATIONSHIP BASED ON LOVE - Love YHWH your Elohim with all your heart, soul and might - and not forced out of religious doctrines.

So here is Ps 23:3 expounded in this Scriptural light so we can understand the Hebraic mindset -

He, YHWH our Shepherd and King, is turning and leading us back to the beginning so that HE, our Shepherd, is able to lead, govern, control, shepherd and guide us back to the Way, the revolving and repeated paths, tracks of righteousness through us being cleansed and brought into a right relationship both morally and forensically on account of and for the purpose of making known, of showing to the World His Authority, His Character, His Purpose, His Way (Who He is). 
 
So we can see that we are called to become a living, breathing, functioning, legal witness to Yeshua and His Law, and this is exactly what HE instructed HIS Disciples to do in Mat 5:17-20 and Mat 28:19-20.

I think we can see now that these opposing mindsets, of which I have written of in the past, would require from a Western world concept an understanding of events and Biblical interpretations, based on their one dimensional linear human / self logic governed thought pattern, and should just one of the dominoes fall, or play out in a way that is not conceivable to us, our whole concept and understanding collapses; whereas on the other hand the circular Hebraic thought pattern based on the outside, sovereign, Divine, eternal and infinite influence of YHWH and not man is incalculably more robust and stable. See 1 Cor 1:22 - 2:5 - I think it sums up what I am trying say, but  more importantly we are told within this portion of Scripture that neither wisdom or signs without Yeshua are of any benefit at all and indeed are not of HIM (Is 8:20).

I will leave this here for now and send it to you to digest, and I do hope that it is indeed digestible.

............. Again before I bid you Adieu please consider this matter prayerfully, none of us have all the pieces to the puzzle, and as Sha'ul says, the pieces we get are always seen as through a darkened glass and only understood in part.
