Everywhere we turn, we are confronted with politics, and round the clock partisan spins.  There is no easy place to be anymore.  It’s so true that our political canvas is so covered with angry voices everywhere.  Politics has a gravity that pulls on people, and it is  time we become attentive to what it may be doing to us.  In this episode of Keep It 100, we talk about Kingdom Justice, the Coming Election and we have an incredible interview with Pastor Jennifer Toledo that will blow you away!   Website: www.seanandchristasmith.com Note: Also, You can get more stuff on Kingdom Justice from Pas.

Man-child Judges and Preserves (8) (Audio) Weapons of Mass Destruction Being Used David Eells - 10-11-20 (David’s notes in red) I believe the DS and the President are using the DEW weapons now.  At one time the Deep State destroyed Paradise with DEW weapons.  Then it was said that the Trump administration took control of the satellite DEW weapons.  So I thought maybe the DS hacked back in some back door to reuse those weapons or we never gained full control of all of them?? On 9-10-20 Dutch Since showed a video of Directed Energy Weapon beams (DEW) focused on Tyndall AFB.  Later he focused in on the exact point of the Radar Station.  Then Before its News came out with an article on it too:  https://beforeitsnews.com/prophecy/2020/10/breaking-dutchsinse-1092020-directed-energy-weapon-dew-caught-beaming-at-tyndall-air-force-base-space-wing-people-have-to-see-this-2514601.html Dutch Since showed the Dew beams coming down from space hitting and causing hotspots of 1100-1350 degrees in 3 areas, all on major fault lines on the West Coast, New Madrid, and East Coast that we have been warned would bring major earthquakes and the coming of the Lord in His reformer ministry, the Man-child.  It appears the DS is trying to start earthquakes with DEW weapons on major fault lines that we were told years ago would tear the country apart. https://youtu.be/XqYE1Pi334I I sent an email warning to the President on 10-9-20 about the DEW hits on the fault lines and Tyndall AFB.  But I have been giving the President the benefit of the doubt in my email to him below. Jeff sent in the video from Dutch Since that showed DEW beams from space. My email to him. They are trying to set off the three areas Sandy and others have had dreams about including the New Madrid, West Coast, NY/AL fault line.  Its the mad scientist dream. Sandy Shaw dream 10/18/11: I am sitting and listening to a group of scientists argue and they are talking over my head with their scientific words. Half of the scientists are arguing, "We should not do that because we don't know what the ramifications of that are, nor do we know what chain reactions will take place". In the dream, I didn't know what "that" was referring to. The other half of the scientists begin arguing that they do know the outcome of that, as they have calculations and results from the previous times they have done it. One man from the group speaking against it interjected loudly with, "Not of this magnitude". (Magnitude speaks of earthquakes.  Will they set the earthquakes off with DEW and their underground tunneling and explosions, causing the chain reaction spoken of here?) If within a few days to a week after the hotspots were formed, we get earthquakes as the pattern shows we could be seeing the Man-child show in the Midst of the New Madrid quakes. They appear to be taking advantage of the stresses in the plates caused by Planet X. The smaller earthquakes could be a sign of the bigger ones coming later. San Andreas and Cascadia are stressed.  Before I watched this video I was thinking and studying the David Man-child hitting the Edomites.  The fact that we are seeing the factions in church and state become very active made me think the Man-child couldnt be far off.  Dreams and scripture show that the Lord in these ministries is going to make a mess of both of the factions in Church and State. Here is a warning message from Steve Quayle. Hello Steve -- This report is about the DANGEROUS things happening along the New Madrid Fault Line and extending to the edges of the NORTH AMERICAN PLATE. 1> There are totally visible hotspots along the fault even going to the bayou and gulf coast. Some hot spots are 1,100 degrees, and some have been measured by locals as high as 1,350 degrees at ground level. 2> There are now planes constantly flying over this area because the results of the North American plate BENDING AND CRACKING into 2 pieces is a huge event. What the planes have discovered so far is that there are sub-surface cracks which go as DEEP as 600 kilometers down. 3> The cracking and BENDING has already tripled the SUBDUCTION ZONE stress IN CASCADIA, 3X FROM 2 WEEKS AGO. 4> The stress on the east coast IS also increased at least 3x in the SUBDUCTION ZONE. 5> THE ENERGY REQUIRED TO CAUSE THIS TYPE OF EVENT IS BEYOND THE ABILITY OF HUMANS TO DO. (Note: As we have seen Men do have this power coupled with the stresses of P-X) THIS MEANS DIRECTLY THAT GOD IS SPEAKING TO PEOPLE TRYING TO GET THEIR ATTENTION AND CONFESS SINS AND PRAY FOR THE NATION. (True)6> THE VAST ENERGY RELEASE HAS ALSO RUINED MUCH OF THIS YEAR'S HARVEST SO DO NOT EXPECT A HUGE THANKSGIVING FEAST. JUST BE THANKFUL FOR HAVING FOOD TO EAT KNOWING THAT AT LEAST 50% OF OTHER AMERICANS DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH TO EAT TO STAY ABOVE THE STARVATION LEVEL. 7> WHEN EVENTS DO OCCUR IN EARNEST EXPECT EARTHQUAKES 7.9 TO 10.2 TO HIT THE WEST COAST THE MIDWEST AND THE EAST COAST. ADDITIONALLY WE CAN EXPECT LARGE VOLCANIC ACTION HITTING BOTH WEST AND EAST COASTS. God bless and protect all of you in these days.... Doc I believe that both sides have the DEW weapons and so I SPECULATE HERE as to the purposes: Eve had a dream that P. Trump signed off on a hit on Tyndall AFB at Mexico Beach with unknown space weapons back when Hurricane Michael came into FL.   I thought that he may have been using the hurricane from the DS as cover to destroy many planes there in a huge building that were probably were under DS control. So possibly it is P. Trump doing it now too. Taking advantage of the lefts fires in the west to his advantage. My e-mail to Eve…. I am not questioning you or your dream.  Trump is, all that is written of him in the word as Cyrus, which is in many places in the Bible where he is not mentioned by name and he is seen in a good light in all of that.  The history of Trump's background is he was raised as christian (Under Norman Vincent Peale), not that he has been born again, and has been very patriotic and conservative to the bone. (He was recognized by Reagan to be a man who “would make a great President”) Now my question is why is it possible that he is doing this?  Is he taking out DS things like those planes that he took out last time?  Is there a good purpose in God's plan that he could only use a warrior to do?  (Christians are not used to physically kill people. They can be used to speak the Word that brings these judgments because God is the Judge.) One of my first questions when I saw the hot spots being formed (by DEW beams in Dutch Since’s video) was;  Is Trump in control of the DEW and he knows the big quakes are coming because of Planet X approaching and he is stress relieving the seismic Zones so the quakes wont be as bad. (I think Charlie and Linda witnessed that in the valley beside them which is the fault line when they dropped something like bunker busters and came back in a copter to see if there was any slippage)  Small quakes relieve stresses so big quakes are delayed or lessened.  Also DEW can steer Hurricanes.  Lets see if it gets better or worse. (Note: within hours after the DEW the hurricane dropped down to a tropical storm.  Also a radar station was hit then as Dutch reported.) Out west where it appears the Left wing is shooting themselves in the foot with their fires; Is Trump helping them and shooting at them with DEW? The fires are somewhat hiding the beams. Trying to put together the puzzle without jumping to a conclusion that all that is meant here is for evil.  Can you pray about this? David Time will tell concerning speculations above.  I believe both sides have these weapons and more exotic ones, as Eve saw. and God will make use of them to bring a chastening to America and the Church, but revival will come afterwards.  As we have seen in the type of Jesus ministry, Jesus in the Man-child will bring the revival. I believe the DS is using threats from the earthquakes and a new plague to cause the President to stop his rounding these criminals up for prosecution and execution and bringing in the new economy which effectively cuts out the DS.   New Plague Defeated For the Saints Claire Pienaar 10/6/20 (David’s notes in red) I dreamed I was in a rondawel-type setting – an African round clay house with a thatched grass roof; a round dwelling with open windows (no glass). It was large and there were many rooms that went off into various directions within the house. There was lush, green vegetation all around and the smell of meat being braaied/BBQ’d. (The Saints, meaning sanctified ones, who keep covenant by sacrifices of their flesh that are a aroma to God.)  It was night time. There were many saints in there - Joe Brits was one of them. It looked like an old restaurant I used to work at as a hostess when I was a student called “Tribes” (All the nations/gentiles who are called are together by faith and belong together - Romans 1:5-6 through whom we received grace and apostleship, unto obedience of faith among all the nations, for his name’s sake among whom are ye also, called to be Jesus Christ’s). I went over to the front door, and saw a really tiny little snake slither in. It looked more like a tapeworm it was so small but I over-reacted. (This represents the overreaction to what Covid 19 has become. As all man made diseases it deteriorated; in this case from the L strain to S strain shortly after its creation in Wuhan until it is much like the flu now.)      I screamed and said “Get that snake out of here!”.  (Since this plague has no rights in the sanctified house of God - Psa 91.)  I said this not out of fear, just out of indignation that it would even try to come into our space. Just then, a HUGE snake appeared and slithered behind the little snake – it looked like a Mozambique Python. It swallowed up the little wormy-snake. (This plague is the one we have warned of, to the President and our broadcast community. No one will worry about Covid 19 when this plague comes,) It turned and looked at me and opened his mouth wide and bared his fangs and said, “You’re next”. I was pretty scared then! I turned to see who would help me, and I saw an old friend from primary school. His name is Duran, which means “firm, enduring”. (He represents firm faith in the promises, in this case for health, that endures to see it fulfilled. Mat 24:13  But he that endureth to the end, the same shall be saved. Jas 1:12  Blessed is the man that endureth temptation; for when he hath been approved, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord promised to them that love him.  1Pe 2:24  who his own self bare our sins in his body upon the tree, that we, having died unto sins, might live unto righteousness; by whose stripes ye were healed.  Exo 12:13  And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and there shall no plague be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.  Psa 91:10  There shall no evil befall thee, Neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent.  Zec 14:12  And this shall be the plague wherewith Jehovah will smite all the peoples that have warred against Jerusalem (the Bride): their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their sockets, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.)  He walked over to the snake and distracted it by throwing something outside the house. (The cleansing of the Church makes it powerful and gives it our rights of immunity. Pro 10:2  Treasures of wickedness profit nothing; But righteousness delivereth from death.  1Jn 1:7-9  but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanseth us from all sin.  8  If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.  9  If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.).  The snake turned to see what was thrown out. (The spirit of infirmity and sickness has authority when sin is in the house. He was checking to see what authority he lost.)  As it was turned, Duran picked up a small vaccine and thrust the shiny metal needle into the snake’s neck, at the back (The “vaccine” for the plague is the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. Like the book by David Eells, "God’s Vaccine”. Even one “small” word, in faith, will kill the enemy Ephesians 6:17: and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God). The snake turned around and wailed saying, “This will be the death of me!”. I was so glad Duran was there. I said, “Do you think it’ll be enough to kill him?” and he said, “yip. But he’s going to suffer first”. (This plague will cause suffering and hopefully give people time to repent before they die. The saints, sanctified ones, will be preserved.  Please prepare yourselves, friends and family for this plague. We make zero money on these books. Learn from our Free God's Vaccine E-Book, How to be Protected. Also you can order it in print here: https://www.ubm1.org/?page=ubmbooks After this plague and the destruction of the DS spiritual and physical prosperity will come to the Bride. The dream setting then changed and Riaan and I were driving my aunt and her husband to our house, which I thought was in Rosebery. We were pointing out the really dodgy houses as we drove by, and said, “These houses are all so forlorn and small” (I think this shows the poverty of the gospel that is being preached in other “houses of faith” (And how this will not prosper apostate Christianity).    Also, our town in the natural is in a place called “the wilderness wilds” – the bride’s house is prepared in the wilderness (in the midst of the larger body of the Church or Woman. Rev 12:6  And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that there they may nourish her a thousand two hundred and threescore days.).  My aunt and uncle were shocked that we lived here in this dreary place, and did not want to believe that there could be a beautiful part of the town. (The beautiful place in the wilderness of our own provision is the place of God’s provision as it was for the Israelites where Manna came from the sky and water out of the rock.).  Then we came up to our house. It looked like a mansion on a plantation in the Southern parts of the USA. It was gorgeous – everything was white and new and freshly painted and just perfect. (The Bride will stand out in the crowd as a sign to others of God's favor on those who believe and live the true Gospel.)  I actually couldn’t believe Riaan and I were living there (John 14:2 In my Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you).  We walked into this one story house as I heard a car pull up, and it was another friend, also called Sue (Sue is derivative of a Hebrew name meaning lily or rose). When I went back into the house, it had gotten even bigger, and we now had a west wing, east wing situation; with at least two levels.  (The Bride will greatly mature at the time of the Man-child ministry mentioned below.)  I walked through the whole house, showing Sue around and it was even more beautiful than the previous home. There were pictures of a little Arabic/Middle Eastern boy up in the bedrooms, and at the front entrance of the house. I thought “This little guy must belong to the owner of the house”. (Yes, he is the Man-child born of the Father). He was precious to look at, and the photo frames were gilded gold. (Representing the revealing of the Man-child.). We were sitting in one of the lounges, and we all had our bibles open (resting in the Word). I was retelling a story of how I prepared food in the kitchens. I said, “Yes, I said kitchens. Plural! Who knew I’d ever live in a house with two kitchens!” And the two Sues, Bruce and Riaan laughed. The kitchens were beautiful, spacious, and had loads of space for food preparation, as well as long, large tables where many could eat together. (The Man-child’s training of the Bride is to go forth with the prepared food of God’s Word to His people as it was in Jesus’ day. As John said of Jesus as He was  leading His first-fruits disciples, “He that hath the Bride is the Bridegroom”.). There was an industrial-sized food processor on the bench of the first kitchen, and an industrial-sized washer-hose in the second kitchen (This represents the bride feeding the newly called out ones the Word.).  Then the scene changed again and I was walking down a narrow bush path, and I saw one of my neighbours out to the left of the path. Her name, Sophia, means wisdom in Greek, but in this dream she seemed to lack wisdom. Indeed, she is of the world, and as yet unregenerate so any wisdom will be folly, as Solomon has written: Ecclesiastes 2:12-14: And I turned myself to behold wisdom, and madness, and folly: for what can the man do that cometh after the king? even that which hath been done long ago. 13 Then I saw that wisdom excelleth folly, as far as light excelleth darkness. 14 The wise man’s eyes are in his head, and the fool walketh in darkness: and yet I perceived that one event happeneth to them all. She explained that her mother had just died and that she was pregnant with her third child, and she was unsure about who’d help her through the first few days of the baby’s new life. She was having a little girl. (The Church has not brought forth any leaders; These are coming from the Bride who like Esther will bring salvation to the Church.)   I offered her to come back to the house where everyone was, but she said no. I offered to pray for her, and she did not want that either.   I then saw her mother in a vision in front of me, on a hospital bed, dead in the physical but alive in the spirit and she said “I wish I could go back and choose better”. I could not say or do anything. The vision disappeared and I woke up. (When the Bride, as an example of God’s ability to sanctify and perfect, appears many will wish they had chosen the Biblical path.) I asked the Lord for a verse for this dream, and received by faith John 6:51 on “live forever”: I am the living bread which came down out of heaven: if any man eat of this bread (of the Word), he shall live for ever: yea and the bread which I will give is my flesh, for the life of the world. (He was the Word made flesh as we are to be.) This verse relates to all three dreams: the bread must be eaten to defeat the enemy, those who eat it rest on the promises of the word by faith will have a beautiful place prepared for them in the wilderness, and those who do not eat the word will face eternal separation.  Emails to the President: Prepare for a second Plague not like the first.  I told you that Covid 19 did not fulfill all that the Lord told us three years ago that He would do with the plague to bring down the factions and apostates and that I expected more plague. Then we received this: On Jul 6, 2020, William Steenland had this dream: In this dream the Lord allowed me to follow these satanists into a very rich high rise private apartment condo in NY.  I knew that they had infiltrated the CDC and WHO and were executing a plan for their satanic New World Order. The dream changed and I was still in the same condo at a small medical facility where people were dropping like flies from some unknown pathogen or contagion. There were three women and two men who were so sick they were unable to function. I tried to grab the one woman closest to me while she was falling. In the dream I knew the elite were experimenting with the next Plandemic. I said ma’am ma’am what’s wrong get up ? Again and again, but she was dead.  I went over to the nurse who was in a back room. I could tell she knew something and was divided about it. She was very sad and on her knees. I knew it was partially because she was totally helpless to assist or medicate the sick that were there. I picked her up off the ground and somewhat screamed at her ”what is happening to these people?” She told me “don’t ask me that question” as she cried in fear and sadness. I yelled again for her to tell me everything you know,  what’s happening to these people?! She again told me not to ask that question. She knew they were victims of a trial run for the next pandemic. In the dream I just knew it. That’s is the info that kept coming to me in the dream, next plandemic and trial run experiment.    May 25, 2020 (David’s notes in red) Mr President, Remember about 2.7 years ago (Now over 3 years) I told you that God told us that the Deep State would create a plague and spray it over the US and elsewhere by Chemtrails. That has now been proven to be true. (Note: When the Trump administration invaded Area 51 they found Covid 19 in the Chemtrail fluid.) At that time We were also told that they would burn the churches and that too has begun.  They are planing to do a lot more burning using their undeclared terrorists in the US and possibly DEW weapons.  (Note: Also came true pictures of the DEW Directed Energy beams burning buildings in the West have been posted and they are using them to try to set off the New Madrid seismic zone now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqYE1Pi334I&feature=youtu.be.  As we have shown the Man-child ministry starts with great earthquakes.)   It will be a great catastrophe and many will die. After that you will destroy them. I suggest you at least lock up as many of the top leaders as possible quickly. (This is happening now) Good job on the underground cities and tunnels and children. US and its economy will heal because of the great infusion of money but it will be like the Red Sea for the Deep State. All of them that escape will be back in the coming 7 year tribulation in the middle of which these communists will make war on the Christians and kill many. By God's grace, We have a good record of being right on these things.  Also their vaccines and food changes the DNA of a person to make them a docile servant of the elite DS. Already they have dumbed down the US with their Chemtrails. God be with you as He has.Your servant in Christ, David May 26, 2020 Mr President,  Gates is a demon possessed criminal. I didnt write this below but its pretty close. Vaccines change your DNA and you become a hybrid slave.  Please turn away from them - https://youtu.be/juy9TSjQa2Y https://youtu.be/juy9TSjQa2Yhttps://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10217322636200152&id=1300417439&sfnsn=wiwspmo&extid=CbgvedESXhxev89pThe Deep State wants total population control - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHIT2f1l_MQ The new plague will not accomplish antichrists plans but the Lords plans to drain the swamp for Fathers Church.   I WILL RAM IT DOWN YOUR THROAT Ken Dewey, 5/27/20 (David’s notes in red) This very morning I heard this: GLOBALIST AND NWO [ANTICHRIST SPIRIT].... IN AMERICA....... I WILL RAM DONALD TRUMP DOWN YOUR THROAT!!!***He is my man of this hour, and you will never prevail over him. Did I not say, saith the Lord, IT IS NOT TIME FOR THE ANTICHRIST TO COME NOW! (Father has delayed the spirit of antichrists premature presumption to destroy the Church for a time for "Jacob is small; how shall he stand”)  Did I not tell you more than once AMERICA that I AM NOT THROUGH WITH ALL MY PLANS IN THIS LAND? Did I not say, I WILL ARISE LIKE A MIGHTY FARMER AND PLOW UNDER EVIL INTO THE VERY SOIL OF AMERICA!!! DID I NOT SAY I WOULD ARISE AND WALK OVER THIS LAND?  But now the antichrist wants to INSERT HIS POWER. Now He wants to even tell me what to do! I AM that I AM, and he will NEVER DICTATE TO ME HIS PLANS... BUT I WILL DICTATE TO HIM. I did cast him out of my Heavenly Presence once, and I WILL CAST HIM EVEN FURTHER YET..[see Rev. 12:7-10] (Notice He speaks of Satan in his many membered, seven headed, ten horned, body) But just know that the spirit of the antichrist WILL NOT HAVE HIS WAY, NOR WILL HE DESTROY MY BODY [MY CHURCH]... FOR EVEN THE GATES OF HELL WILL NEVER PREVAIL OVER MY PEOPLE THE CHURCH! Did I not say that NOTHING can TAKE YOU FROM MY HANDS? Did you not hear me when I said to you [My Body the Church of CALLED OUT ONES IN THE EARTH] that NOTHING CAN SEPARATE YOU FROM MY LOVE? (Notice this promise is to the Church, meaning the "Called Out Ones”, not what the worldly call the Church. Jesus called His early Church out of the apostate denominations of His day which were destroyed by the Romans.) Read it here: ROMANS 8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.  NO NOTHING. NO DEVIL walking like an antichrist spirit, nor any evil force can ever take my People away, nor hurt them, NO THE CHURCH (Meaning, Called Out Ones) WILL NEVER EVER PERISH. FOR HAVE I NOT BOUGHT THEM WITH MY OWN BLOOD, AND WASHED THEM WHITER THAN SNOW? HAVE I NOT SAID: I HOLD YOU IN THE HOLLOW OF MY HAND? ISAIAH 49:16 Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me. 17 Thy children shall make haste; thy destroyers and they that made thee waste shall go forth of thee. I AM that I AM. At this time, the destroyer cannot come upon you. At this time he who walks in darkness will not prevail.  At this hour the one who exalts himself will FALL DOWN and all his PLANS SHALL NOT ACCOMPLISH HIS WILL, for he CANNOT COME NOW. I AM that I AM. I CHANGE NOT. NOR DO I REPENT. FOR WHAT I HAVE DECLARED, I WILL DO... I WILL NOT CHANGE MY MIND. I have yet MANY PLANS to go forth into Action in this particular Nation of America. I WILL SEND A MIGHTY AWAKENING (Its happening; revelations of the evil done by the spirit of antichrist are flooding the internet) ,EVEN IN THE MIST OF ALL THE ENEMY IS TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH, AND I WILL TREAD HIM DOWN (It is happening, they are being hunted down by this administration and all over the world), AND MY PEOPLE WILL ARISE FROM HIS DREADED PLANS. I AM that I AM. AM I NOT MORE THAN ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH ALL MY PLANS? AND EVEN THOSE WHO ARE MINE IN THIS LAND ARE MORE THAN ABLE IN MY BLESSINGS AND POWER GIVEN TO THEM, TO ARISE AND WALK IN VICTORY OVER ALL! NO VIRUS, will accomplish your plans [you evil one], for I will stop you short. YOU WILL NEVER TAKE AWAY MY PEOPLE (The called out ones), NOR WILL YOU STOP ME... FOR I HAVE FOREVER WRITTEN MY PLANS, EVEN IN MY BOOK, AND YOU HAVE SEEN IT…(The story of Cyrus conquering Babylon)   I WILL NEVER FAIL, BUT I WILL DO IT ALL EXACTLY AS IT IS WRITTEN.The plans of the antichrist will BACKFIRE, and TURN UPON THEIR OWN HEADS. THEY WILL FALL IN THEIR OWN FIRE. I AM... AND I HAVE SAID IT. Yeshua / Jesus SAID ADD THIS SCRIPTURE PROMISE/S:  Psalm 91 (KJV) 1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. 3 Surely,he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. 4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. 5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;  6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. 7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. 8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. 9 Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; 10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. 11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. 12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.  13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. 14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. 15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation. In tears of Joy I hear this and write it even as I heard it here on this page. I have written it down even as it came forth. This is His Word for this Hour. America be comforted and be ENCOURAGED, for your GOD ARISES TO PROTECT YOU. (America and apostate Christianity is being chastened and not a few will die but the Called out Ones will be protected for they are the seed of the coming revival. Some are dying in Spirit at the hands of the factious witchcraft demons through slander. When the Man-child is manifested the faction will be destroyed in the DS judgments just as David was anointed and destroyed Edom who hated their brother.)   Beware of the Wicked Deceivers Claire Pienaar 10/10/20 (David’s notes in red) I dreamed a sister (representing those who have a relationship with God but are in danger as the people of God were from Haman but Esther the Bride interceded for them)  and I were working together at Riaan’s workplace (the mine). We were on the top floor, where the managers were. She was asking me things about David’s teachings and I was showing her scripture on my phone to help her understand. (Our workplace is in the kingdom – the same place where David and Michael work). Then I went to shower in the change room (part of our job is to “keep clean” and always be washing with the water of the word, renewing our minds in Christ). I realised my name was being called over the intercom. I went to the designated room (again, on the 2nd floor which was the top floor), and I saw this sister standing there with the Health & Safety Officer. He was a tall man with a mustache and had black pants on with a grey and black golf shirt on (walking in darkness with a dark heart) that had a thin red line running through it (the colors of his clothing represents that he is submitted to death and destruction). In the dream, he is “fictitious” in that I have never laid eyes on someone who looks like this in the natural.  (He represents a factious spirit) They were talking about someone who they wanted to put through disciplinary action and “take out”. And then mentioned “Michael is complicit”.  (This is their evil opinion as faction does. They blame others for their own sins just like the leftists are doing.)   I said, “who are you talking about?” They spoke on like they never heard me, or that they expected me to know and have the same opinion as them. Then the sister said, “I don’t care if he’s the mine manager (Mining the silver and gold of God’s people), what he’s doing is wrong”. The mustache guy said “he’s underground now but when he comes up we’ll start the process”. Then it dawned on me that they were talking about David Eells. (underground – the anointing of the man-child is not yet revealed but is in secret for those who “have ears to hear and eyes to see”).  I said, “You can’t be serious? David’s not done anything wrong. If you harm God’s elect, great harm will come to you.”  I turned to the mustache man in darkness and said, “I want no part in this, I am not part of this at all”. The sister shook her head and said “He is false and must be removed”. (She listened to slander and accepted the faction witchcraft spirit.)   I said to her, “You will lose your salvation if you carry this out”. (Because Jesus said those who do not forgive are not forgiven. They always accuse you of what they have done.) I walked out of the door, down the stairs and told Riaan. We tried to find Michael or David but they were not in their offices (either out in the field/mine or home for the day).  The scene changed and I was walking next to a natural hot spring and I saw the sister swimming with her daughter, smiling and happy. I thought “she just wanted a feel good gospel that accepts all actions”. She got out of the pool, and she seemed to forget what she did. She had a huge white Jeep there, and was clothed as a wealthy, worldly woman. She held up two green colored cream soda flavoured milkshakes and offered me one. I turned it down. (Reminded of Cinderella and the poison apple the witch offered her) (represents an evil drink – tastes terrible and the very flavor is man-made).  In my dream I had love for her as one loves the sisters/brothers in Christ, but I was aware of the word “Judas” the whole time and I was bitterly disappointed that anyone would try to hinder David’s humble pursuit of doing what God has called him to do. After being factious, this woman had gone back to the world. I was so sad. (She appeared to love the Lord and respected and loved UBM's teachings.)   I received Ezekiel 30:20 by faith at random, in context 20-24: And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first month, in the seventh day of the month, that the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, 21 Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt. (The DS weapons will be effective against the old man who kept the spiritual man in Bondage); and, lo, it hath not been bound up, to apply healing medicines, to put a bandage to bind it, that it be strong to hold the sword. 22 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and will break his arms, the strong arm, and that which was broken; and I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand. 23 And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries. 24 And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and put my sword in his hand: but I will break the arms of Pharaoh, and he shall groan before him with the groanings of a deadly wounded man.   Mark 11:17 and 18 – my finger covered both these verses when I asked God for a word by faith at random. And he taught, and said unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations? but ye have made it a den of robbers. 18 And the chief priests and the scribes heard it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, for all the multitude was astonished at his teaching.  (Jesus said they hated Him and they would hate us but 70AD came for them as the beast destroyed the harlot.)   Printer-friendly version

Engineer, podcaster, author and speaker Ivor Cummins is back on the podcast today to talk about a topic that could save your life or the life of someone you love. Coronary Artery Calcium (CAC), a direct measure of arterial calcification obtained with a CT scan, is gaining respect as the best predictor of cardiovascular events. Indirect risk factors - like LDL cholesterol, though beloved by the medical establishment, pale in comparison. Today Ivor talks about what really causes cardiovascular disease and how best to assess your risk. He discusses the science that supports the use of CAC to identify those most at risk - and by doing so, they can take steps to slow, stop or even reverse disease progression. Further validating Ivor’s work, the American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association are now formally recommending the CAC for middle-risk patients. As if that wasn’t enough, getting a CAC scan is affordable and probably available near you.

The Interior Life – Emotional Maturity – Part 4 (Christ Church; Atlanta, GA) MESSAGE SUMMARY: The Psalmist, in Psalms 1:3-4, describes a person with a fruitful Interior Life: “He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers. The wicked are not so, but are like chaff that the wind drives away.". Our Interior Life, typically, does not call out for our attention until, usually, it is too late. Our Interior Life does not call for our attention or scream for help. However, if our Interior Life is not maintained or nurtured, our spiritual life can come crashing down. Our Interior Life can be viewed like a savings account in a bank. Like a savings account when we make deposits, our Interior Life grows, draws interest, and becomes strong, thereby, giving us a balance that can see us through life's tough times. However, if we are not making Interior Life deposits and our life circumstances need to draw on our “savings”, we may find that life has put us in an untenable situation; and we go spiritually bankrupt. Does the life description, provided by Jesus in John 7:37b-38, describe your life: “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.'”? Paul, in 1 Thessalonians 5:23, describes the characteristics of the Inner Person and the maintenance of the Inner Person: “Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.". Paul describes us as being comprised of body, soul, and spirit. Our Inner Person, or Our Inner Self, is all that relates to our soul and spirit. The Interior Life is critical for our abundant life – the part of us that is private not public; the part of us that no one sees or knows but us and God. Too often, we focus our personal care on our bodies and not our soul or Inner Person. Paul, in Ephesians 3:16-17, addresses or “inner being”: “that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love,". We need to focus, today, on a portion of our Inner Self's soul that includes “our mind” – “the power of our mind”. What gives us the power to steer our lives in the direction that we want to go and, in a manner, that God expects of us? The mind gives our Inner Self power. Too many of us are wasting our minds – most of us are not exercising the power of our minds. To exercise our minds, we must: 1) discipline our mind to mind – mental discipline; 2) take charge of what we let our mind dwell upon – what we think, we are; and 3) learn to think from Christ's perspective – as a Christian, we must intentionally learn to think from God's point of view. To intentionally exercise our mind, we can: 1) read; 2) study; 3) memorize; and 4) meditate – reflect upon an issue. Jesus was asked, in Luke 20:25b-28 to reveal the key to eternal life; and Jesus responded: “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?' He said to him, ‘What is written in the Law? How do you read it?' And he answered, ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.' And he said to him, You have answered correctly; do this, and you will live.'”. To position our Inner Self to think from God's point of view, our mind must be exercised through the love of God and others. The mind, as a Christian, is a terrible thing to be wasted by our Inner Self; therefore, we must endeavor to stop wasting our minds. We need to develop the power for gaining control over our will and directing our minds toward a spirit-filled life in Jesus. Each of our lives is to be driven by the Holly Spirit through our Inner Person to yield our lives to God's will. The Holy Spirit enables us to do God's will in our lives – our Interior Life's deposit for the future.

Episode #24: Lisa Williams, Psychic Medium, and Lily Dale Assembly. This week we are honored to have as our guest Lisa Williams, well-known psychic medium and spiritual teacher. Lisa was a young girl in England when she started seeing spirits. There were those who believed her and those who didn’t, but she stuck to her truth. Over time she developed her abilities and became a respected professional medium. It was Merv Griffin who created a show for Lisa in the United States called Life Among the Dead. After that, she realized her true calling, which was her desire to help people. She talks with us about her work, mediumship in America today, and more. Also, we are thrilled for you to hear her tell the story of Lily Dale Assembly in upstate New York. It is the oldest and largest center for mediumship and Spiritualism in the U.S. Lisa is now their vice president and she discusses its origins and stories about those who visited there. You can visit there, too! The summer season kicks off on June 29th with all kinds of spiritual classes, mediumship and healing sessions, séances, and more.

The blazing matches fell sizzling into the snow, but the birch bark was alight. He began laying dry grasses and the tiniest twigs on the flame. He could not pick and choose, for he had to lift the fuel between the heels of his hands. Small pieces of rotten wood and green moss clung to the twigs, and he bit them off as well as he could with his teeth. He cherished the flame carefully and awkwardly. It meant life, and it must not perish. The withdrawal of blood from the surface of his body now made him begin to shiver, and he grew more awkward. A large piece of green moss fell squarely on the little fire. He tried to poke it out with his fingers, but his shivering frame made him poke too far and he disrupted the nucleus of the little fire, the burning grasses and tiny twigs separating and scattering. He tried to poke them together again, but in spite of the tenseness of the effort, his shivering got away with him, and the twigs were hopelessly scattered. Each twig gushed a puff of smoke and went out. The fire-provider had failed. As he looked apathetically about him, his eyes chanced on the dog, sitting across the ruins of the fire from him, in the snow, making restless, hunching movements, slightly lifting one forefoot and then the other, shifting its weight back and forth on them with wistful eagerness. The sight of the dog put a wild idea into his head. He remembered the tale of the man, caught in a blizzard, who killed a steer and crawled inside the carcass, and so was saved. He would kill the dog and bury his hands in the warm body until the numbness went out of them. Then he could build another fire. He spoke to the dog, calling it to him; but in his voice was a strange note of fear that frightened the animal, who had never known the man to speak in such way before. Something was the matter, and its suspicious nature sensed danger--it knew not what danger, but somewhere, somehow, in its brain arose an apprehension of the man. It flattened its ears down at the sound of the man's voice, and its restless, hunching movements and the liftings and shiftings of its forefeet became more pronounced; but it would not come to the man. He got on his hands and knees and crawled toward the dog. This unusual posture again excited suspicion, and the animal sidled mincingly away. The man sat up in the snow for a moment and struggled for calmness. Then he pulled on his mittens, by means of his teeth, and got upon his feet. He glanced down at first in order to assure himself that he was really standing up, for the absence of sensation in his feet left him unrelated to the earth. His erect position in itself started to drive the webs of suspicion from the dog's mind; and when he spoke peremptorily, with the sound of whiplashes in his voice, the dog rendered its customary allegiance and came to him. As it came within reaching distance, the man lost his control. His arms flashed out to the dog, and he experienced genuine surprise when he discovered that his hands could not clutch, that there was neither bend nor feeling in the fingers. He had forgotten for the moment that they were frozen and that they were freezing more and more. All this happened quickly, and before the animal could get away, he encircled its body with his arms. He sat down in the snow, and in this fashion held the dog, while it snarled and whined and struggled. But it was all he could do, hold its body encircled in his arms and sit there. He realized that he could not kill the dog. There was no way to do it. With his helpless hands he could neither draw nor hold his sheath knife nor throttle the animal. He released it, and it plunged wildly away, with tail between its legs, and still snarling. It halted forty feet away and surveyed him curiously, with ears sharply pricked forward. The man looked down at his hands in order to locate them, and found them hanging on the ends of his arms. It struck him as curious that one should have to use his eyes in order to find out where his hands were. He began threshing his arms back and forth, beating the mittened hands against his sides. He did this for five minutes, violently, and his heart pumped enough blood up to the surface to put a stop to his shivering. But no sensation was aroused in the hands. He had an impression that they hung like weights on the ends of his arms, but when he tried to run the impression down, he could not find it. A certain fear of death, dull and oppressive, came to him. This fear quickly became poignant as he realized that it was no longer a mere matter of freezing his fingers and toes, or of losing his hands and feet, but that it was a matter of life and death with the chances against him. This threw him into a panic, and he turned and ran up the creek-bed along the old, dim trail. The dog joined in behind and kept up with him. He ran blindly, without intention, in fear such as he had never known in his life. Slowly, as he plowed and floundered through the snow, he began to see things again, the banks of the creek, the old timber-jams, the leafless aspens, and the sky. The running made him feel better. He did not shiver. Maybe, if he ran on, his feet would thaw out; and, anyway, if he ran far enough, he would reach camp and the boys. Without doubt he would lose some fingers and toes and some of his face; but the boys would take care of him, and save the rest of him when he got there. And at the same time there was another thought in his mind that said he would never get to the camp and the boys; that it was too many miles away, that the freezing had too great a start on him, and that he would soon be stiff and dead. This thought he kept in the background and refused to consider. Sometimes it pushed itself forward and demanded to be heard, but he thrust it back and strove to think of other things. It struck him as curious that he could run at all on feet so frozen that he could not feel them when they struck the earth and took the weight of his body. He seemed to himself to skim along above the surface, and to have no connection with the earth. Somewhere he had once seen a winged Mercury, and he wondered if Mercury felt as he felt when skimming over the earth. His theory of running until he reached camp and the boys had one flaw in it: he lacked the endurance. Several times he stumbled, and finally he tottered, crumpled up, and fell. When he tried to rise, he failed. He must sit and rest, he decided, and next time he would merely walk and keep on going. As he sat and regained his breath, he noted that he was feeling quite warm and comfortable. He was not shivering, and it even seemed that a warm glow had come to his chest and trunk. And yet, when he touched his nose or cheeks, there was no sensation. Running would not thaw them out. Nor would it thaw out his hands and feet. Then the thought came to him that the frozen portions of his body must be extending. He tried to keep this thought down, to forget it, to think of something else; he was aware of the panicky feeling that it caused, and he was afraid of the panic. But the thought asserted itself, and persisted, until it produced a vision of his body totally frozen. This was too much, and he made another wild run along the trail. Once he slowed down to a walk, but the thought of the freezing extending itself made him run again. And all the time the dog ran with him, at his heels. When he fell down a second time, it curled its tail over its forefeet and sat in front of him, facing him, curiously eager and intent. The warmth and security of the animal angered him, and he cursed it till it flattened down its ears appealingly. This time the shivering came more quickly upon the man. He was losing in his battle with the frost. It was creeping into his body from all sides. The thought of it drove him on, but he ran no more than a hundred feet, when he staggered and pitched headlong. It was his last panic. When he had recovered his breath and control, he sat up and entertained in his mind the conception of meeting death with dignity. However, the conception did not come to him in such terms. His idea of it was that he had been making a fool of himself, running around like a chicken with its head cut off--such was the simile that occurred to him. Well, he was bound to freeze anyway, and he might as well take it decently. With this new-found peace of mind came the first glimmerings of drowsiness. A good idea, he thought, to sleep off to death. It was like taking an anaesthetic. Freezing was not so bad as people thought. There were lots worse ways to die. He pictured the boys finding his body the next day. Suddenly he found himself with them, coming along the trail and looking for himself. And, still with them, he came around a turn in the trail and found himself lying in the snow. He did not belong with himself any more, for even then he was out of himself, standing with the boys and looking at himself in the snow. It certainly was cold, was his thought. When he got back to the States he could tell the folks what real cold was. He drifted on from this to a vision of the old-timer on Sulphur Creek. He could see him quite clearly, warm and comfortable, and smoking a pipe. "You were right, old hoss; you were right," the man mumbled to the old-timer of Sulphur Creek. Then the man drowsed off into what seemed to him the most comfortable and satisfying sleep he had ever known. The dog sat facing him and waiting. The brief day drew to a close in a long, slow twilight. There were no signs of a fire to be made, and, besides, never in the dog's experience had it known a man to sit like that in the snow and make no fire. As the twilight drew on, its eager yearning for the fire mastered it, and with a great lifting and shifting of forefeet, it whined softly, then flattened its ears down in anticipation of being chidden by the man. But the man remained silent. Later, the dog whined loudly. And still later it crept close to the man and caught the scent of death. This made the animal bristle and back away. A little longer it delayed, howling under the stars that leaped and danced and shone brightly in the cold sky. Then it turned and trotted up the trail in the direction of the camp it knew, where were the other food-providers and fire-providers.

He realized that he could not kill the dog. There was no way to do it. With his helpless hands he could neither draw nor hold his sheath knife nor throttle the animal. He released it, and it plunged wildly away, with tail between its legs, and still snarling. It halted forty feet away and surveyed him curiously, with ears sharply pricked forward. The man looked down at his hands in order to locate them, and found them hanging on the ends of his arms. It struck him as curious that one should have to use his eyes in order to find out where his hands were. He began threshing his arms back and forth, beating the mittened hands against his sides. He did this for five minutes, violently, and his heart pumped enough blood up to the surface to put a stop to his shivering. But no sensation was aroused in the hands. He had an impression that they hung like weights on the ends of his arms, but when he tried to run the impression down, he could not find it. A certain fear of death, dull and oppressive, came to him. This fear quickly became poignant as he realized that it was no longer a mere matter of freezing his fingers and toes, or of losing his hands and feet, but that it was a matter of life and death with the chances against him. This threw him into a panic, and he turned and ran up the creek-bed along the old, dim trail. The dog joined in behind and kept up with him. He ran blindly, without intention, in fear such as he had never known in his life. Slowly, as he plowed and floundered through the snow, he began to see things again, the banks of the creek, the old timber-jams, the leafless aspens, and the sky. The running made him feel better. He did not shiver. Maybe, if he ran on, his feet would thaw out; and, anyway, if he ran far enough, he would reach camp and the boys. Without doubt he would lose some fingers and toes and some of his face; but the boys would take care of him, and save the rest of him when he got there. And at the same time there was another thought in his mind that said he would never get to the camp and the boys; that it was too many miles away, that the freezing had too great a start on him, and that he would soon be stiff and dead. This thought he kept in the background and refused to consider. Sometimes it pushed itself forward and demanded to be heard, but he thrust it back and strove to think of other things. It struck him as curious that he could run at all on feet so frozen that he could not feel them when they struck the earth and took the weight of his body. He seemed to himself to skim along above the surface, and to have no connection with the earth. Somewhere he had once seen a winged Mercury, and he wondered if Mercury felt as he felt when skimming over the earth. His theory of running until he reached camp and the boys had one flaw in it: he lacked the endurance. Several times he stumbled, and finally he tottered, crumpled up, and fell. When he tried to rise, he failed. He must sit and rest, he decided, and next time he would merely walk and keep on going. As he sat and regained his breath, he noted that he was feeling quite warm and comfortable. He was not shivering, and it even seemed that a warm glow had come to his chest and trunk. And yet, when he touched his nose or cheeks, there was no sensation. Running would not thaw them out. Nor would it thaw out his hands and feet. Then the thought came to him that the frozen portions of his body must be extending. He tried to keep this thought down, to forget it, to think of something else; he was aware of the panicky feeling that it caused, and he was afraid of the panic. But the thought asserted itself, and persisted, until it produced a vision of his body totally frozen. This was too much, and he made another wild run along the trail. Once he slowed down to a walk, but the thought of the freezing extending itself made him run again. And all the time the dog ran with him, at his heels. When he fell down a second time, it curled its tail over its forefeet and sat in front of him, facing him, curiously eager and intent. The warmth and security of the animal angered him, and he cursed it till it flattened down its ears appealingly. This time the shivering came more quickly upon the man. He was losing in his battle with the frost. It was creeping into his body from all sides. The thought of it drove him on, but he ran no more than a hundred feet, when he staggered and pitched headlong. It was his last panic. When he had recovered his breath and control, he sat up and entertained in his mind the conception of meeting death with dignity. However, the conception did not come to him in such terms. His idea of it was that he had been making a fool of himself, running around like a chicken with its head cut off--such was the simile that occurred to him. Well, he was bound to freeze anyway, and he might as well take it decently. With this new-found peace of mind came the first glimmerings of drowsiness. A good idea, he thought, to sleep off to death. It was like taking an anaesthetic. Freezing was not so bad as people thought. There were lots worse ways to die. He pictured the boys finding his body the next day. Suddenly he found himself with them, coming along the trail and looking for himself. And, still with them, he came around a turn in the trail and found himself lying in the snow. He did not belong with himself any more, for even then he was out of himself, standing with the boys and looking at himself in the snow. It certainly was cold, was his thought. When he got back to the States he could tell the folks what real cold was. He drifted on from this to a vision of the old-timer on Sulphur Creek. He could see him quite clearly, warm and comfortable, and smoking a pipe. "You were right, old hoss; you were right," the man mumbled to the old-timer of Sulphur Creek. Then the man drowsed off into what seemed to him the most comfortable and satisfying sleep he had ever known. The dog sat facing him and waiting. The brief day drew to a close in a long, slow twilight. There were no signs of a fire to be made, and, besides, never in the dog's experience had it known a man to sit like that in the snow and make no fire. As the twilight drew on, its eager yearning for the fire mastered it, and with a great lifting and shifting of forefeet, it whined softly, then flattened its ears down in anticipation of being chidden by the man. But the man remained silent. Later, the dog whined loudly. And still later it crept close to the man and caught the scent of death. This made the animal bristle and back away. A little longer it delayed, howling under the stars that leaped and danced and shone brightly in the cold sky. Then it turned and trotted up the trail in the direction of the camp it knew, where were the other food-providers and fire-providers.

It was a steep bank, and he paused for breath at the top, excusing the act to himself by looking at his watch. It was nine o'clock. There was no sun nor hint of sun, though there was not a cloud in the sky. It was a clear day, and yet there seemed an intangible pall over the face of things, a subtle gloom that made the day dark, and that was due to the absence of sun. This fact did not worry the man. He was used to the lack of sun. It had been days since he had seen the sun, and he knew that a few more-days must pass before that cheerful orb, due south, would just peep above the sky-line and dip immediately from view. The man flung a look back along the way he had come. The Yukon lay a mile wide and hidden under three feet of ice. On top of this ice were as many feet of snow. It was all pure white, rolling in gentle, undulations where the ice jams of the freeze-up had formed. North and south, as far as his eye could see, it was unbroken white, save for a dark hairline that curved and twisted from around the spruce-covered island to the south, and that curved and twisted away into the north, where it disappeared behind another spruce-covered island. This dark hair-line was the trail--the main trail--that led south five hundred miles to the Chilcoot Pass, Dyea, and salt water; and that led north seventy miles to Dawson, and still on to the north a thousand miles to Nulato, and finally to St. Michael on the Bering Sea, a thousand miles and half a thousand more. But all this--the mysterious, far-reaching hair-line trail the absence of sun from the sky, the tremendous cold, and the strangeness and weirdness of it all--made no impression on the man. It was not because he was long used to it. He was a newcomer in the land, a chechaquo, and this was his first winter. The trouble with him was that he was without imagination. He was quick and alert in the things of life, but only in the things, and not in the significances. Fifty degrees below zero meant eighty-odd degrees of frost. Such fact impressed him as being cold and uncomfortable, and that was all. It did not lead him to meditate upon his frailty as a creature of temperature, and upon man's frailty in general, able only to live within certain narrow limits of heat and cold; and from there on it did not lead him to the conjectural field of immortality and man's place in the universe. Fifty degrees below zero stood for a bite of frost that hurt and that must be guarded against by the use of mittens, ear-flaps, warm moccasins, and thick socks. Fifty degrees below zero was to him just precisely fifty degrees below zero. That there should be anything more to it than that was a thought that never entered his head. As he turned to go on, he spat speculatively. There was a sharp, explosive crackle that startled him. He spat again. And again, in the air, before it could fall to the snow, the spittle crackled. He knew that at fifty below spittle crackled on the snow, but this spittle had crackled in the air. Undoubtedly it was colder than fifty below--how much colder he did not know. But the temperature did not matter. He was bound for the old claim on the left fork of Henderson Creek, where the boys were already. They had come over across the divide from the Indian Creek country, while he had come the roundabout way to take a look at the possibilities of getting out logs in the spring from the islands in the Yukon. He would be in to camp by six o'clock; a bit after dark, it was true, but the boys would be there, a fire would be going, and a hot supper would be ready. As for lunch, he pressed his hand against the protruding bundle under his jacket. It was also under his shirt, wrapped up in a handkerchief and lying against the naked skin. It was the only way to keep the biscuits from freezing. He smiled agreeably to himself as he thought of those biscuits, each cut open and sopped in bacon grease, and each enclosing a generous slice of fried bacon. He plunged in among the big spruce trees. The trail was faint. A foot of snow had fallen since the last sled had passed over, and he was glad he was without a sled, traveling light. In fact, he carried nothing but the lunch wrapped in the handkerchief. He was surprised, however, at the cold. It certainly was cold, he concluded as he rubbed his numb nose and cheek-bones with his mittened hand. He was a warm-whiskered man, but the hair on his face did not protect the high cheek-bones and the eager nose that thrust itself aggressively into the frosty air. At the man's heels trotted a dog, a big native husky, the proper wolfdog, gray-coated and without any visible or temperamental difference from its brother, the wild wolf. The animal was depressed by the tremendous cold. It knew that it was no time for traveling. Its instinct told it a truer tale than was told to the man by the man's judgment. In reality, it was not merely colder than fifty below zero; it was colder than sixty below, than seventy below. It was seventy-five below zero. Since the freezing point is thirty-two above zero, it meant that one hundred and seven degrees of frost obtained. The dog did not know anything about thermometers. Possibly in its brain there was no sharp consciousness of a condition of very cold such as was in the man's brain. But the brute had its instinct. It experienced a vague but menacing apprehension that subdued it and made it slink along at the man's heels, and that made it question eagerly every unwonted movement of the man as if expecting him to go into camp or to seek shelter somewhere and build a fire. The dog had learned fire, and it wanted fire, or else to burrow under the snow and cuddle its warmth away from the air. The frozen moisture of its breathing had settled on its fur in a fine powder of frost, and especially were its jowls, muzzle, and eyelashes whitened by its crystalled breath. The man's red beard and mustache were likewise frosted, but more solidly, the deposit taking the form of ice and increasing with every warm, moist breath he exhaled. Also, the man was chewing tobacco, and the muzzle of ice held his lips so rigidly that he was unable to clear his chin when he expelled the juice. The result was that a crystal beard of the color and solidity of amber was increasing its length on his chin. If he fell down it would shatter itself, like glass, into brittle fragments. But he did not mind the appendage. It was the penalty all tobacco-chewers paid in that country, and he had been out before in two cold snaps. They had not been so cold as this, he knew, but by the spirit thermometer at Sixty Mile he knew they had been registered at fifty below and at fifty-five. He held on through the level stretch of woods for several miles, crossed a wide flat of nigger-heads, and dropped down a bank to the frozen bed of a small stream. This was Henderson Creek, and he knew he was ten miles from the forks. He looked at his watch. It was ten o'clock. He was making four miles an hour, and he calculated that he would arrive at the forks at half-past twelve. He decided to celebrate that event by eating his lunch there. The dog dropped in again at his heels, with a tail drooping discouragement, as the man swung along the creek-bed. The furrow of the old sled-trail was plainly visible, but a dozen inches of snow covered the marks of the last runners. In a month no man had come up or down that silent creek. The man held steadily on. He was not much given to thinking, and just then particularly he had nothing to think about save that he would eat lunch at the forks, and that at six o'clock he would be in camp with the boys. There was nobody to talk to; and, had there been, speech would have been impossible because of the ice-muzzle on his mouth. So he continued monotonously to chew tobacco and to increase the length of his amber beard. Once in a while the thought reiterated itself that it was very cold and that he had never experienced such cold. As he walked along he rubbed his cheek-bones and nose with the back of his mittened hand. He did this automatically, now and again changing hands. But rub as he would, the instant he stopped his cheek-bones went numb, and the following instant the end of his nose went numb. He was sure to frost his cheeks; he knew that, and experienced a pang of regret that he had not devised a nose-strap of the sort Bud wore in cold snaps. Such a strap passed across the cheeks, as well, and saved them. But it didn't matter much, after all. What were frosted cheeks? A bit painful, that was all; they were never serious.

He smiled agreeably to himself as he thought of those biscuits, each cut open and sopped in bacon grease, and each enclosing a generous slice of fried bacon. He plunged in among the big spruce trees. The trail was faint. A foot of snow had fallen since the last sled had passed over, and he was glad he was without a sled, traveling light. In fact, he carried nothing but the lunch wrapped in the handkerchief. He was surprised, however, at the cold. It certainly was cold, he concluded as he rubbed his numb nose and cheek-bones with his mittened hand. He was a warm-whiskered man, but the hair on his face did not protect the high cheek-bones and the eager nose that thrust itself aggressively into the frosty air. At the man's heels trotted a dog, a big native husky, the proper wolfdog, gray-coated and without any visible or temperamental difference from its brother, the wild wolf. The animal was depressed by the tremendous cold. It knew that it was no time for traveling. Its instinct told it a truer tale than was told to the man by the man's judgment. In reality, it was not merely colder than fifty below zero; it was colder than sixty below, than seventy below. It was seventy-five below zero. Since the freezing point is thirty-two above zero, it meant that one hundred and seven degrees of frost obtained. The dog did not know anything about thermometers. Possibly in its brain there was no sharp consciousness of a condition of very cold such as was in the man's brain. But the brute had its instinct. It experienced a vague but menacing apprehension that subdued it and made it slink along at the man's heels, and that made it question eagerly every unwonted movement of the man as if expecting him to go into camp or to seek shelter somewhere and build a fire. The dog had learned fire, and it wanted fire, or else to burrow under the snow and cuddle its warmth away from the air. The frozen moisture of its breathing had settled on its fur in a fine powder of frost, and especially were its jowls, muzzle, and eyelashes whitened by its crystalled breath. The man's red beard and mustache were likewise frosted, but more solidly, the deposit taking the form of ice and increasing with every warm, moist breath he exhaled. Also, the man was chewing tobacco, and the muzzle of ice held his lips so rigidly that he was unable to clear his chin when he expelled the juice. The result was that a crystal beard of the color and solidity of amber was increasing its length on his chin. If he fell down it would shatter itself, like glass, into brittle fragments. But he did not mind the appendage. It was the penalty all tobacco-chewers paid in that country, and he had been out before in two cold snaps. They had not been so cold as this, he knew, but by the spirit thermometer at Sixty Mile he knew they had been registered at fifty below and at fifty-five. He held on through the level stretch of woods for several miles, crossed a wide flat of nigger-heads, and dropped down a bank to the frozen bed of a small stream. This was Henderson Creek, and he knew he was ten miles from the forks. He looked at his watch. It was ten o'clock. He was making four miles an hour, and he calculated that he would arrive at the forks at half-past twelve. He decided to celebrate that event by eating his lunch there. The dog dropped in again at his heels, with a tail drooping discouragement, as the man swung along the creek-bed. The furrow of the old sled-trail was plainly visible, but a dozen inches of snow covered the marks of the last runners. In a month no man had come up or down that silent creek. The man held steadily on. He was not much given to thinking, and just then particularly he had nothing to think about save that he would eat lunch at the forks, and that at six o'clock he would be in camp with the boys. There was nobody to talk to; and, had there been, speech would have been impossible because of the ice-muzzle on his mouth. So he continued monotonously to chew tobacco and to increase the length of his amber beard. Once in a while the thought reiterated itself that it was very cold and that he had never experienced such cold. As he walked along he rubbed his cheek-bones and nose with the back of his mittened hand. He did this automatically, now and again changing hands. But rub as he would, the instant he stopped his cheek-bones went numb, and the following instant the end of his nose went numb. He was sure to frost his cheeks; he knew that, and experienced a pang of regret that he had not devised a nose-strap of the sort Bud wore in cold snaps. Such a strap passed across the cheeks, as well, and saved them. But it didn't matter much, after all. What were frosted cheeks? A bit painful, that was all; they were never serious.
