Bible News Prophecy with Dr Bob Thiel Continuing Church of God 64 AI-Made Viruses, the Fourth Horseman, and a Coming Mark of the Beast with Dr. Bob Thiel Dr. Bob Thiel joins host Steve Dupuis to trace reports of AI-engineered viruses and rogue artificial intelligence back to Bible prophecies of pestilence, the fourth horseman of Revelation, and a coming digital mark of the beast. AI's Biological Threat Emerges Steve Dupuis opens the Bible News Prophecy program by asking Dr. Bob Thiel whether artificial intelligence poses real risks to people today. Thiel points to a headline he saw the day before, "AI's Greatest Threat is Biological," which describes an Anthropic researcher who resigned after concluding there is roughly a ten percent chance AI could wipe out humanity within three to ten years, an estimate he says others in the field share. Thiel explains the article's greatest alarm is not runaway machines but biological warfare and synthetic biology, warning that artificial intelligence could eventually help produce a virus lethal to people whether they are vaccinated or not. Dupuis presses further, asking how close AI actually is to creating a genuine bioweapon risk, setting up Thiel's account of a specific study that turned that abstract worry into a documented, unsettling result. Stanford's AI-Made Viruses Thiel tells Dupuis that last month a report described artificial intelligence creating sixteen new viruses that never existed in nature, after the system learned patterns from nine trillion nucleotides in research associated with Stanford University. He explains that scientists have synthesized viruses for decades to study disease and pursue medical advances, but artificial intelligence now lets them generate viral genomes unlike anything found in nature. Thiel reads a line from the researchers themselves, that the ability to compose viral genomes using generative AI now exists while the governance to safely steer it does not. Dupuis asks whether this research is simply a hopeful step toward medical progress, and Thiel answers cautiously, recalling that COVID is presumed by some to have come from a lab pursuing similarly well-intentioned work. He warns that a rogue AI program could misuse such techniques, adding that turning biological agents into weapons has never been difficult for determined nations, the United States included, despite official denials of biological weapons programs. Prophecies Of Pestilence And The Pale Horse Thiel turns to scripture, citing Jesus's words in Matthew 24:7-8 that famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places mark the beginning of sorrows. He argues that biological warfare agents, whether engineered by AI or developed by humans alone, could easily be a factor in that prophesied pestilence. Thiel then reads from Revelation chapter six, where the fourth seal opens and a pale horse appears, its rider named Death, with Hades following behind and given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, by hunger, by death, and by the beasts of the earth. He notes that pestilence naturally falls under that last category. Dupuis asks directly whether AI-developed pathogens could be part of the pestilences riding with that fourth horseman, and Thiel answers without hesitation that they absolutely could, tying the ancient apocalyptic image to the modern headlines about synthetic viruses and rogue programs discussed earlier in the conversation. Raymond McNair's Doomsday Bug Thiel widens the discussion by reading from a 1969 article by the late Church of God evangelist Raymond McNair, titled The Doomsday Bug, which described a feverish international search for germs and chemicals capable of wiping out whole nations overnight. He recounts McNair's visit to a chemical and biological warfare laboratory and his survey of history, noting that people have used such weapons against enemies for thousands of years, from poisoning rulers' food and water supplies and using poisoned arrows in battle to catapulting corpses of plague victims over the walls of besieged cities. Thiel adds McNair's account of early American settlers trading plague-infected blankets to Native Americans on the frontier, calling it evidence of what he describes as humanity's virtually limitless inventive genius for destructive weapons of warfare. Dupuis listens as Thiel stresses that none of this diabolical history required artificial intelligence, underscoring that the danger long predates today's technology and only grows sharper with it. Plagues, Crop Warfare, And Historical Scale Asked about the magnitude of past viruses and plagues, Thiel cites the Black Death, the bubonic plague that wiped out roughly a third of Europe, with three-quarters dead in some regions, and cites a Cold War-era claim that a single gram of Q fever-inoculated chicken embryo could infect more than a million people. He adds that twenty million people died of flu at the close of World War I, with about fifty times that number falling ill. Thiel then describes chemical and biological warfare aimed at economies rather than armies, recalling that the highest US civilian award once given went to a woman who developed a deadly rice blast fungus usable against rice-dependent nations, while Russian scientists developed a wheat rust capable of striking American crops. He argues scientists bear real responsibility for developing microbes that could unleash horrifying epidemics, then cites Jesus's warning in Matthew 24:21 of a coming great tribulation unlike any before or after it. Digital Wallets And The Coming Mark Thiel turns to a second AI risk beyond pestilence, warning that AI programs may increasingly break into financial systems and drain accounts as world commerce grows more digital. He predicts a European leader could respond by proposing a biometric system to guard against such AI-driven economic disasters, noting that all twenty-seven European Union nations must offer residents a digital wallet holding identification and driver's license information on their phones by the end of 2026. Thiel suggests that system may prove insufficient, speculating that a future leader could push a more secure mark involving the right hand or forehead for safer buying and selling. He reads Revelation 13:15-18, describing the image of the beast compelling everyone, small and great, rich and poor, to receive a mark permitting commerce, numbered 666, then cites 1 Thessalonians 5:3's warning that sudden destruction follows cries of peace and safety. He closes citing Revelation 16:2's warning against taking the mark, before Dupuis thanks him and points listeners to biblenewsprophecy.net.

Pastor Brent Belford preaches on Revelation 15.

The consumer backdrop is likely to get worse before it gets better, according to Kristoffer Inton, which he says will add pressure to General Mills (GIS). The company moved lower toward 52-week lows after earnings. Kristoffer says the company is number one or two in many of the brands it sells, it's primarily the macro factors plaguing consumers he sees as headwinds. Andrew Wang considers the earnings report "better, but not good yet." He talks about the green shoots he sees on the company's balance sheet but warns of caution with other key metrics. General Mills' dividend is something Andrew sees as a trap for investors.

The David Alliance  TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com Garth Heckman Accuser     Do you inhale or exhale when you putt?      THE ACCUSER - THE RATT      START WITH A WARNING… **If you do not understand how the accuser works you will be used by him and for his purpose without even knowing it.       Here is how it works:  People play the VICTIM - Why me, me oh my, waaa waaa waaa, poor me.     Then they turn into the VILLIAN - They attack people who they feel have it made, had it easy, they think they are arrogant simply because they are successful in some area of life.   They they become Victors and they fight on behalf of the other “VICTIMS”… Jeff Karow “I shudder thinking about the 11 year old little girl who could not get an abortion after being brutally raped.        The worst thing about being deceived is you do not know you are deceived. You operate in the mindset of fact, but its not fact at all. Remember when cigarettes did not cause cancer.          John 8   Jesus returned to the Mount of Olives, 2 but early the next morning he was back again at the Temple. A crowd soon gathered, and he sat down and taught them. 3 As he was speaking, the teachers of religious law and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in the act of adultery. They put her in front of the crowd. 4 “Teacher,” they said to Jesus, “this woman was caught in the act of adultery. 5 The law of Moses says to stone her. What do you say?” 6 They were trying to trap him into saying something they could use against him, but Jesus stooped down and wrote in the dust with his finger. 7 They kept demanding an answer, so he stood up again and said, “All right, but let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone!” 8 Then he stooped down again and wrote in the dust. 9 When the accusers heard this, they slipped away one by one, beginning with the oldest, until only Jesus was left in the middle of the crowd with the woman. 10 Then Jesus stood up again and said to the woman, “Where are your accusers? Didn't even one of them condemn you?” 11 “No, Lord,” she said. And Jesus said, “Neither do I. Go and sin no more.”                   The historical background of this passage—traditionally known as the Pericope Adulterae—is shaped by a clever political trap, a clash between competing legal systems, and a fascinating journey through ancient manuscripts. [1, 2, 3, 4]    peh-RIK-oh-pee - It's from Greek, meaning "a cutting out" or "a selected passage,” Adulterae = ah-dul-TAIR-eye   1. The Legal Trap: Roman Law vs. Jewish Law The religious leaders weren't just asking Jesus for a theological opinion; they were trying to force Him into a dangerous political and legal corner: [3, 5]      The Roman Constraint: Under Roman occupation, the Jewish authorities (the Sanhedrin) were stripped of their power to officially execute anyone. If Jesus agreed that the woman should be stoned to death, He would be encouraging an illegal vigilante execution, breaking Roman law and setting Himself up as a rebel leader against Rome. The Mosaic Constraint: If Jesus said she should go free, He would appear to be breaking the Law of Moses(Leviticus 20:10), which prescribed the death penalty for adultery. This would instantly ruin His credibility as a Rabbi among the Jewish people.    What is really going on here? Judging Jesus response - while they themselves do not hold themselves accountable to the same standard.    *they are not willing to make a call on this - but judging Jesus on his response.   People will call you out - all the while never talk about their own lack of character in the same manner.       Where was the man? The Mosaic law explicitly stated that both the man and the woman caught in adultery were to be put to death.   **Missing information: Accusers will never share the whole story.          OOOOO         2. The Location: The Temple Courts The text explicitly states this encounter took place in the Temple courts (John 8:2).     The sprawling courts of Herod's Temple were not dirt roads or sandy paths; they were grand, public plazas paved with massive, polished stone tiles. If there was loose dust blown onto the stones, Jesus could have been writing in the dirt. However, if He was pressing His finger directly against the smooth, hard flagstones of the Temple floor, a mere human finger would leave no mark. For Him to "engrave" or "write" a visible record there would require a miracle. [7, 8]    3. The Theological Parallel: The Finger of God By highlighting that Jesus wrote "with his finger," John uses a very rare phrasing that immediately points a Jewish reader back to the Old Testament. [7, 9]      In the entire Bible, there are only a few times where God is described as physically writing something. The most famous is Exodus 31:18: "He gave Moses the two tablets of the Testimony, tablets of stone, written with the finger of God."     Jesus was silently saying: "You are trying to lecture Me on the Law? I am the one who carved it in stone in the first place." [1, 10]        OOOOOOO   The phrase "the finger of God" appears only a handful of times in the entire Bible. Each instance represents an irresistible, sovereign display of divine authority and judgment on those who try to play God.  When you connect these other passages to Jesus in the Temple courts, they paint a staggering picture of who He was claiming to be.     1. The Plagues of Egypt (Exodus 8:19)   The Context: During the ten plagues, Pharaoh's court sorcerers try to replicate the miracles Moses performs. When God turns the dust of the earth into swarms of gnats, the magicians fail to copy it. Terrified, they tell Pharaoh: "This is the finger of God."     2. The Ten Commandments (Exodus 31:18 & Deuteronomy 9:10)   The Context: God delivers the moral law to humanity not by dictating it to Moses, but by physically carving it Himself. The text notes the tablets were "written with the finger of God" on stone.   3. The Writing on the Wall (Daniel 5:5)   The Context: King Belshazzar of Babylon throws a blasphemous feast, drinking out of the sacred gold cups stolen from God's Temple. Suddenly, the fingers of a human hand appear and scratch a mysterious message into the plaster of the wall (Mene, Mene, Tekel, Parsin). Daniel interprets the writing: God has weighed the king's deeds, found him wanting, and his kingdom is finished.   4. Jesus Driving Out Demons (Luke 11:20)   The Context: Jesus is accused by His critics of using the power of Satan to cast out demons. He fires back: "But if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you."         This is a great teaching device — pastors use this "voice of the accuser" framing often to expose the enemy's tactics. Here's a biblically-grounded list, treating it as an exposé of strategy rather than actually voicing that persona.   9-16-26 Start here for TDA 10 Ways the Accuser Attacks Faith 1. Rehearsing Your Past He whispers your worst moment on repeat — the affair, the addiction, the abortion, the thing you did at 19 — long after God has already forgiven it, hoping shame will convince you that grace has an expiration date. (Revelation 12:10 — he accuses "day and night") 2. Redefining God's Character "Did God really say...?" He doesn't usually deny God exists — he reframes who God is: distant, disappointed, keeping score. (Genesis 3:1) 3. Comparison He points you at someone else's marriage, ministry, body, or blessing, and lets envy do the rest of the work — convincing you God has been unfair specifically to you. 4. Isolation Disguised as Privacy He convinces you that no one can know the real struggle — that if your small group or spouse knew, they'd walk away. Isolation is where accusation grows unchecked, because it's never tested against truth spoken by someone else. 5. Weaponizing Other Believers' Words He takes a real hurt — something someone at church actually said or did — and repeats it in your mind until it becomes "this is who the church really is" or "this is who God really is." 6. Delayed Answers as Proof of Abandonment When prayer isn't answered on your timeline, he suggests silence means absence — that unanswered prayer is proof you're not really heard, rather than proof you're being asked to trust. (Compare Job's friends' theology vs. God's actual response in Job 38-42) 7. Perfectionism Disguised as Conviction Real conviction from the Spirit is specific and leads to repentance and freedom (2 Corinthians 7:10). Accusation is vague, global, and leads to paralysis — "you'll never get this right," "you're always like this." One brings you to the cross; the other just buries you. 8. Identity Theft He tries to get you to answer to a label — addict, failure, fraud, unworthy — instead of the one Scripture actually gives you: forgiven, adopted, righteous in Christ (Romans 8:1, Ephesians 1:5). Whoever answers the accusation has already accepted the label. 9. Success as a Trapdoor Ironically, he accuses through pride too — convincing gifted, "successful" believers (especially leaders) that their platform, growth, or following is proof of their own righteousness, setting up a fall through self-sufficiency rather than obvious sin. (1 Timothy 3:6 — the danger of being "puffed up with conceit") 10. Truth Without Grace This might be the subtlest one: he loves using real Scripture, real truth, real standards — just stripped of the gospel's grace and hope, so truth becomes crushing weight instead of a path to freedom. (This is actually what he tried on Jesus in the wilderness — quoting real Scripture, Matthew 4:6, but twisting its application.)   THREE  "Dirty Little Secrets" Worth Naming   1-  If there's one unifying tactic underneath all ten, it's this: the accuser rarely needs to invent new material — he just recycles truth without context, timing, or grace. Most of his accusations contain a kernel of something real (a real failure, a real hurt, a real Scripture) — which is exactly why they're so effective. Outright lies are easy to reject. Half-truths delivered at the right moment, with real pain attached, are much harder to resist.     2-  The second secret: he almost never announces himself. Nobody hears an accusing thought and thinks "that was Satan." It just feels like "being honest with myself," or "just being realistic," or "this is just how I am." The accusations feel like your own internal voice of reason — which is precisely what makes Revelation 12:11 significant: believers overcome him "by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony" — meaning the antidote isn't cleverness or willpower, it's actively speaking a different word over yourself than the one he's whispering.       3-  If a thought pushes you toward confession, prayer, and community — that's likely conviction. BUT WITH THAT - ACCUSATIONS MAKE YOU START TO MAKE EXCUSES FOR THAT WHICH YOU ARE BEING ACCUSED OF… THEN HE MAKES YOU FEEL GUILTY FOR THE EXCUSES YOU MADE.      The weapon against accusation isn't willpower or cleverness — it's actively speaking a different word over yourself than the one being whispered. Silence lets the accusation stand unchallenged. Testimony — speaking truth out loud, even just to yourself — interrupts it.       OOOOOOOO   Discernment: Today we have more information and faster information as ever before.  Anyone on social media can be portrayed as an expert, and any information can be presented as fact… But even worse- the absence of clarity creates gossip and presumption that grows into ignorance as fact.        The devil knows your name but calls you by your sin; God knows your sin but calls you by your name     Point 1: The Accuser Has a Title, and a Strategy     Satan's biblical title here isn't "destroyer" or "tempter" — it's accuser. **And Scripture consistently shows this strategy doesn't stay confined to accusing us before God — it plays out horizontally, between people, through gossip, slander, and offense.   Insight: If the enemy's title is "accuser," we should expect his most effective tactic to look like ordinary WORDS     Accusation is not in the power of the words… but the seeds they plant and the doubt they grow. See it's like this: The seeds of innuendo, doubt and insinuation cause the Spiritually immature to feed and water those accusations. **When I was a frosh in HS. The rumor of “ sexually molesting” a child in a cornfield grew into a huge ordeal.  It was started by a teacher's wife - who her and her husband hated me and my family.        Insight: Slander's power has never been the volume of the lie — it's the seed of doubt it plants about someone's character   ITS NOT THE AMOUNT OF ACCUSATIONS - ITS THE SPACE IT CREATES FOR DOUBT = LACK OF FAITH     Why is The Tongue a Fire — it only takes a spark. **a forest fire does not start with a forest fire… it starts with a spark.        So that we don't fall into the role of the accuser we should know this:  Love Covers, Corrupt Talk Corrodes — Two Competing Modes of Speech   Text: Ephesians 4:29-32 PAUL SAYS SPEAK WORDS OF GRACE   1 Peter 4:8 PETER SAYS COVER A BROTHER… HELP BRING THEM INTO HEALING AND WHOLENESS.     ****A truth without grace or healing is still an accusation.     Closing Challenge   Today wether you have been the source of accusation, or the target of it. will you let your mouth be an instrument of the kind of love that actually covers, forgives, and builds up?”   And if I am on the receiving end - Take time to thank God that you are forgiven and accusations only stand as a strong reminder of how great Gods grace is.

Before the Burning Bush, the Plagues, or the Red Sea, Moses was a Hebrew boy raised inside Pharoah's household -- caught between the people he came from and the world that raised him. Then at 40, one violent decision blows up his entire life and sends him running into the wilderness.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The sermon focuses on the imminent return of Christ and the impending judgment described in Revelation chapters 15 and 16. It details the seven last plagues as the fulfillment of God's wrath against a world steeped in sin and rebellion against His commandments. The preacher contrasts the ultimate destruction awaiting those who reject Christ with the victory and assurance found by believers who stand on the finished work of Jesus. Emphasis is placed on the urgency of repentance, warning that time is running out for salvation before the day of judgment arrives. The message concludes with a passionate appeal for listeners to accept Christ as Savior to escape eternal condemnation and secure their place in glory.

 In this study we will take a look at the miracles that Yahweh performed on the Egyptians, when Israel was held in bondage, during this period in Exodus. We will see that those miracles were against the Egyptian deities or gods that they worshipped.The story of Moses is not just the story of the freedom of a group of slaves from Egypt in the second millennium BCE. It is the blueprint of the Plan of Salvation of the world as seen from the structure laid down in the Bible. Moses was the prototype of the Christ or Messiah. More importantly, the nation of Israel saw Moses as a prototype and the Bible record illustrates that point. Moses said: ‘And Yahweh said unto me, they have well spoken that which they have spoken. I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.' (Deut. 18:17-18).In this study I continue in Exodus Chapter 12 verse 4 Chapter 12Verses 1 – 20              The Passover InstitutedVerses 21 – 28            The Passover CommunicatedVerse 31 – 14:31         Yahweh's Deliverance of IsraelVerse OutlineVerses 1-2 = MonthVerses 3-11 = The SymbolVerses 12-13 = The Signification and ReasonVerses 14-17 = The SymbolVerses 17 = The Signification and ReasonVerses 18-20 = The Month The Institution of the PassoverThe deliverance from Egypt [which is symbolic of bondage] is to be not only from physical but also from spiritual slavery. Israel [whom El commands or rules] is to be freed from all heathen influences and consecrated to the service of Yahweh. These commandments concerning Passover open the religious legislation of the Torah. The occasion when they were given and the manner in which they were enjoined emphasize the basic importance of that Festival in the life and history of Israel. The Exodus from Egypt is not only one of the greatest events and epochs in the history of the Jews, but one of the greatest events and epochs in the history of the world. This Exodus proves without a shadow of doubt that Yahweh is the most powerful Creator throughout the world, has He defeated all the gods of the Egyptians.  4    If the household be too little = That is, if there be not persons enough in one family to eat a whole lamb, then two families must join together. The rabbis claim that there should be at least ten persons to one paschal lamb, and not more than twenty. Josephus tells us in “The Wars of the Jews”, Book 6 Chapter 9, Section 3, “from the ninth hour till the eleventh, but so that a company not less than ten belong to every sacrifice [for it is not lawful for them to feast to themselves], and many of us are twenty in a company etc. Side note: this number of a company for one Passover lamb, between ten and twenty, agrees exactly with the number thirteen, at our Saviors last Passover.5    Without blemish = Having no natural imperfection, no disease, no deficiency or redundancy of parts. On this point the rabbis have trifled most bizarre, calculating fifty blemishes that make a lamb or kid, or any animal, improper to be sacrificed: five in the ear, three in the eyelid, eight in the eye, three in the nose, six in the mouth, etc., etc.A male of the first year = That is, any age in the first year between eight days and twelve months. The Rabbis take this to mean within the first year of its birth. ‘This tender age, the type of innocence, made it peculiarly adapted for a sacrifice of the Covenant to be concluded between Elohim and Israel as a nation.'From the sheep, or from the goats = The שה  seh means either; and either was equally proper if without blemish. The Hebrews however in general preferred the lamb to the kid.6   The whole assembly - shall kill it = Any person might kill the lamb, the sacrificial act in this case not being confined to the priests.In the evening = בין הערבים  beyn haarbayim, “between the two evenings.” The Jews divided the day into morning and evening: till the sun passed the meridian all was morning or before-noon; after that, all was afternoon or evening. Their first evening began just after twelve o'clock, and continued till sunset; their second evening began at sunset and continued till night, i.e., during the whole time of twilight; between twelve o'clock, therefore, and the termination of twilight, the Passover was to be offered.“The day among the Jews had twelve hours, John 11:9. Their first hour was about six o'clock in the morning with us. Their sixth hour was our noon. Their ninth hour answered to our three o'clock in the afternoon. By this we may understand that the time in which the Messiah was crucified began at the third hour, that is, at nine o'clock in the morning, the ordinary time for the daily morning sacrifice, and ended at the ninth hour, that is, three o'clock in the afternoon, the time of the evening sacrifice, Mark 15:25, 33, 34, 37. Therefore their ninth hour was their hour of prayer, when they used to go into the temple at the daily evening sacrifice, Acts 3:1; and this was the ordinary time for the Passover. It is worthy of remark that Yahweh sets no particular hour for the killing of the Passover: any time between the two evenings, i.e., between twelve o'clock in the day and the termination of twilight, was lawful. The daily sacrifice (see Exo. 29:38, 39) was killed at half past the eighth hour, that is, half an hour Before three in the afternoon; and it was offered up at half past the ninth hour, that is, half an hour After three. In the evening of the Passover it was killed at half past the seventh hour, and offered at half past the eighth, that is, half an hour Before three: and if the evening of the Passover fell on the evening of the Sabbath, it was killed at half past the Sixth hour, and offered at half past the Seventh, that is, half an hour Before two in the afternoon. The reason of this was, they were first obliged to kill the daily sacrifice, and then to kill and roast the paschal lamb, and also to rest the evening before the Passover. Agreeably to this Maimonides says ‘the killing of the Passover is after mid-day, and if they kill it before it is not lawful; and they do not kill it till after the daily evening sacrifice, and burning of incense: and after they have trimmed the lamps they begin to kill the paschal lambs until the end of the day.' By this time of the day Elohim foreshowed the sufferings of Yahshua Messiah in the evening of times or in the last days, Hebrews 1:2; 1Peter 1:19, 20 : and about the same time of the day, when the paschal lamb ordinarily died, He died also, viz., at the ninth hour; Matthew 27:46-50.” Once again Josephus gives us an insight on this “The Wars of the Jews”, Book 6 Chapter 9, Section 3, ‘So these high priests, upon the coming of that feast which is called the Passover, when they slay their sacrifices, from the ninth hour till the eleventh, but so that a company not less than ten belong to every sacrifice, (for it is not lawful for them to feast singly by themselves,) and many of us are twenty in a company, found the number of sacrifices was two hundred and fifty-six thousand five hundred; which, upon the allowance of no more than ten that feast together, amounts to two millions seven hundred thousand and two hundred persons that were pure and holy; for as to those that have the leprosy, or the gonorrhea, or women that have their monthly courses, or such as are otherwise polluted, it is not lawful for them to be partakers of this sacrifice; nor indeed for any foreigners neither, who come hither to worship.'7    take of the blood, and strike it on the two side-posts, etc. = as a sign of safety to those within. The posts must be considered of tents, in which the Israelites generally lived, though some might be in houses. Though the Israelites were sinners as well as the Egyptians, Elohim was pleased to accept the substitution of a lamb - the blood of which, being seen sprinkled, by using a bunch of hyssop dipped in the lamb's blood, on the doorposts, procured them mercy. It was to be on the side posts and upper doorposts, where it might be looked to, not on the threshold, where it might be trodden under foot. This was an emblem of the blood of sprinkling (Hebrews 12:24; 10:29).8    and they shall eat = ‘'âkal' ‘‘aw-kal'' aleph = (ox) strength, strong, power, leaderKaph = (open palm) bend, open, allow, tame lamed – (shepherd staff), teach, yoke, to bindAleph = (ox) strength, strong, power, leaderTav = (cross) sign, covenant seal, mark and crossThe Hebrew Letter ‘kaph' is a picture of the bent palm representing the bending or subduing of the will, the Hebrew Letter ‘lamed' is a picture of a shepherd staff or yoke. Combined these mean "tame for the yoke". An animal or land that is tamed has been worked and is complete and ready for use. Taming include; construction of holding pens, putting the soil to the plow, harvesting of crops, milk or meat. One eats once the harvest is complete. Spiritually speaking we are not talking about any type of flesh. By adding the ‘eth' we are looking forward to the time when the true Passover Lamb will lay down His life for you and I. By partaking in the eating and drinking of the bread and wine.Have any questions? Feel free to email me keitner2024@outlook.com

The Plagues Were Against the Gods of EgyptIn this study we will take a look at the miracles that Yahweh performed on the Egyptians, when Israel was held in bondage, during this period in Exodus. We will see that those miracles were against the Egyptian deities or gods that they worshipped.The story of Moses is not just the story of the freedom of a group of slaves from Egypt in the second millennium BCE. It is the blueprint of the Plan of Salvation of the world as seen from the structure laid down in the Bible. Moses was the prototype of the Christ or Messiah. More importantly, the nation of Israel saw Moses as a prototype and the Bible record illustrates that point. Moses said: ‘And Yahweh said unto me, they have well spoken that which they have spoken. I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.' (Deut. 18:17-18).In this study I continue in Exodus Chapter 11 verse 8The warning of the Last Plague8              And all these thy servants = Pharaoh's nobles, ministers, courtiers and counselors, who were then in his presence, and stood about him, to whom Moses pointed.   shall come down unto me = from Pharaoh's palace, which might be built on an elevated piece of ground, to the place where Moses had dwelt during the time he had been in Egypt, which might lie lower; or these should come from Zoan, or from Memphis, whichever of them was now the royal city, to the land of Goshen, which lay lower than the other part of Egypt; or it may only denote the submission of Pharaoh's, servants, that they should in the time of their distress be so humble and condescending as to come themselves to Moses, and as it follows.  and bow down themselves unto me = in the most submissive manner, humbly entreating, and earnestly begging him. 9              And the Lord said unto Moses = Not at this time when he went out from Pharaoh, but some time before this, for the words may be rendered, "the Lord had said", for so he had, as is related, Exod. 7:3, but the historian makes mention of it here, to show that Moses was not ignorant of the event of things; he knew that Pharaoh's heart would be hardened from time to time, and that one plague after another must be inflicted, before he would let the people go; and therefore when he prayed for the removal of any, it was not in expectation that he would abide by his promise, but to do the will of Yahweh, and the duty of his calling.  Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you = to Moses and Aaron, and let the people of Israel go as required of him.  that my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt = which Jarchi interprets of the smiting of the firstborn, dividing the waters of the Red sea, and the destruction of Pharaoh and his host in it; but since these words were said before any of the plagues, were inflicted, it may refer to them all. I read from Thomas Horn Book ‘The Gods'10           hardened = ‘châzaq' ‘khaw-zak'' ‘chet-zayin-quph' ‘Aleph-Tav'Chet = (tent wall) outside, divide, halfzayin = (mattack) food, cut, nourishquph = (sun on the horizon) condense, circle, timeAleph = (ox) strength, strong, power, leaderTav = (cross) sign, covenant seal, mark and crossThis Hebrew word means to Seize: To grab hold tightly, to refrain or support by grabbing hold. But by adding the ‘eth' we see that the Spirit of Yahweh/Yahshua is the one that is actually seizing Pharaoh's heart. Why is Yahweh doing this? I believe so that all of the Egyptian deities would be defeated by the miracles perform by Yahweh/Yahshua Messiah!Chapter 12Verses 1 – 20              The Passover InstitutedVerses 21 – 28            The Passover CommunicatedVerse 31 – 14:31         Yahweh's Deliverance of Israel I Read from the Legends of the Old Testament, Moses before Pharaoh, PDF page 291The Institution of the PassoverThe deliverance from Egypt [which is symbolic of bondage] is to be not only from physical but also from spiritual slavery. Israel [whom El commands or rules] is to be freed from all heathen influences and consecrated to the service of Yahweh. These commandments concerning Passover open the religious legislation of the Torah. The occasion when they were given and the manner in which they were enjoined emphasize the basic importance of that Festival in the life and history of Israel. The Exodus from Egypt is not only one of the greatest events and epochs in the history of the Jews, but one of the greatest events and epochs in the history of the world. This Exodus proves without a shadow of doubt that Yahweh is the most powerful Creator throughout the world, has He defeated all the gods of the Egyptians. 1          the Lord spake unto Moses = rather, “had spoken unto Moses and Aaron”; for it is evident that the communication here described must have been made to them on or before the tenth of the month.2              this month = It is supposed that Yahweh now changed the commencement of the Jewish year. The month to which this verse refers, the month Abib [which signifies an ear of corn, and at this time we find that the barley was in ear], answers to a part of our March and April; whereas it is supposed that previously to this, the year began with Tisri, which answers to a part of our September; for in this month the Hebrews suppose Yahweh created the world, when the earth appeared at once with all its fruits in perfection. From this circumstance the Hebrew have formed a twofold commencement of the year, which has given rise to a twofold denomination of the year itself, to which they afterwards attended in all their reckonings: that which began with Tisri or September was called their civil year; that which began with Abib or March was called the sacred or ecclesiastical year.3              tenth day of the month = 10 equals Ordinal Perfection [expressing divine order or succession. Keep in mind that everything that Yahweh does is always in order! What does this mean for us Christians of today?I quote John Wesley comments on this verse.Have any questions?

Date: 07/26/2026Series: Exodus: God SpeaksSpeaker: Geoffrey Ekstein, Pastor/ElderScripture: NoneLayout:A 10,000' overview of the plagues.

God's standard is perfection, and the consequence for falling short is separation from God—but the sermon emphasizes that Jesus has already paid that price on our behalf. Like Moses leading Israel out of slavery, Jesus is presented as the greater, “new Moses” who comes to set His people free. The right response isn't trying to bargain for a better deal with God, but receiving what Christ has done as ours.Using Exodus 7–10, the sermon walks through the repeated pattern of Pharaoh's stubbornness during the plagues. God sends Moses and Aaron to confront Pharaoh with a clear command: “Let my people go so they can worship me.” Each plague escalates the pressure—water to blood, frogs, lice, swarms, livestock disease, painful boils, devastating hail, locusts that strip the land, and darkness so thick it immobilizes people. Over and over, Pharaoh tries to negotiate (only certain people can go, worship here not there, make a deal and then break it), and when relief comes, he hardens again. The point is that Pharaoh is attempting the impossible: negotiating from a position of control when he isn't actually in control.The sermon highlights why God acts this way in the story: so Pharaoh, Egypt, and Israel will “know that I am Yahweh,” and so future generations will have a story to tell about God's power and deliverance. The plagues also expose the emptiness of Egypt's supposed gods (even darkness confronts Egypt's sun-god), while showing God's ability to protect His people (Goshen has light while Egypt is in darkness).The takeaway is personal: Pharaoh becomes a mirror for how people resist God—clinging to control, making half-surrenders, delaying obedience, and trying to bargain their way out of what God is calling them to do. Just as Pharaoh couldn't negotiate his way around Yahweh, we can't negotiate a “discount” into God's kingdom through performance or deals. The invitation is to stop resisting, stop bargaining, and surrender—trusting that Jesus has already done what we could not, and asking where we've been stubborn or evasive instead of simply letting go and following God's call.00:00 - Pre-sermon00:19 - Exodus series introduction01:44 - Humorous crowd engagement about modern plagues03:10 - Plagues, purpose, and Exodus study04:57 - Moses called by God to confront Pharaoh06:44 - Moses vs. Pharaoh: whose god wins?08:33 - Plague showdown incoming10:07 - First plague, hardened heart11:56 - Frogs, chaos, and a reluctant Pharaoh13:42 - Plagues of frogs and lice, Pharaoh's stubbornness15:08 - Plague patterns and God's distinction between Egypt and Goshen16:53 - Pharaoh breaks promises as plagues intensify18:46 - Plagues intensify as Pharaoh refuses to relent20:26 - Why does God allow suffering instead of acting directly?21:55 - Divine plague warning and call to repentance23:19 - Hail plague, choice, and Pharaoh's confession24:50 - Pharaoh's repeated broken promises reveal divine intent26:23 - Locusts destroy Egypt after Pharaoh refuses to respect God28:00 - Pharaoh refuses to let all Israelites go29:55 - The plague of tangible darkness30:38 - Plague of darkness defeats Egypt's top god31:48 - Pharaoh's stubbornness and fickleness33:01 - Challenging the audacity of negotiating with God33:52 - No bargaining with God35:00 - Grace replaces law-keeping as the path to God36:03 - Accepting Christ's gift of salvation37:55 - Salvation prayer and closing remarks39:30 - Post-sermon

On today's episode of ELECTION WATCH, the HITO boys dissect the $50 million in outside spending flooding into the Michigan Senate race to support Haley Stevens and attack Dr. Abdul El-Sayed. $28 million of that money came straight from AIPAC, and part of it is being used to lie about Obama's support of Stevens. As the #1 geopolitical podcast, the boys also take the time to deliver wartime updates since the Iran war is heating up and shows no signs of stopping. Phone bank for Abdul: https://go.abdulforsenate.com/phonebank Early access on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/headintheofficepodYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4iJ-UcnRxYnaYsX_SNjFJQSubscribe to second channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3UoTN328OA7fK2dzicP-ZATikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@headintheoffice?lang=enInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/headintheoffice/Twitter: https://twitter.com/headintheofficeThreads: https://www.threads.com/@headintheofficeDiscord: https://discord.gg/hito Collab inquiries: headintheofficepod@gmail.comSeen on this episode:The State of the MI Senate Race - https://www.aclu.org/press-releases/aclu-condemns-house-passage-of-dangerous-bill-that-would-chill-free-speechhttps://www.yahoo.com/news/politics/articles/abdul-el-sayed-tops-rivals-015349994.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAADr7hs7hVWPJqDR9YBkwH9wOepKAk0mDuInNQ-NeM5RmLawxLkK_VgpAnlGElCKIacSESX_cKQ_yDDUoiAnUXXjeSOjqOdEbWDVEbjbcMwFpLG8DmdyDvWM1996yEtn5UGnKyz0DHwe_kxYxpRr99v3rWt7PO4PyTrjBnXmkS6QQhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/16/us/politics/haley-stevens-michigan-senate-israel-aipac.htmlhttps://secure.actblue.com/directoryhttps://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/5970084-michigan-el-sayed-tax-returns/https://www.deadlinedetroit.com/articles/34825/stevens_defends_her_congressional_vote_on_israel_el-sayed_attackshttps://bridgemi.com/michigan-government/outside-spending-floods-michigans-us-senate-race-most-for-haley-stevens/https://www.metrotimes.com/news/uaw-slams-pro-stevens-super-pac-over-misleading-campaign-ads/https://bridgemi.com/michigan-government/fact-check-where-does-barack-obama-stand-on-michigans-senate-race/https://san.com/cc/did-obama-uaw-endorse-haley-stevens-no-but-voters-think-so/War updates - https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/16/world/middleeast/iran-war-us-strikes.html https://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2026/7/16/iran-war-live-sirens-in-bahrain-kuwait-us-disables-iranian-oil-tanker https://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2026/7/16/iran-war-live-sirens-in-bahrain-kuwait-us-disables-iranian-oil-tanker https://thehill.com/homenews/house/5970608-pelosi-clark-massie-israel-amendment/

Revelation 15The Seven Angels with Seven Plagues[1] Then I saw another sign in heaven, great and amazing, seven angels with seven plagues, which are the last, for with them the wrath of God is finished.[2] And I saw what appeared to be a sea of glass mingled with fire—and also those who had conquered the beast and its image and the number of its name, standing beside the sea of glass with harps of God in their hands. [3] And they sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying,“Great and amazing are your deeds,O Lord God the Almighty!Just and true are your ways,O King of the nations![4] Who will not fear, O Lord,and glorify your name?For you alone are holy.All nations will comeand worship you,for your righteous acts have been revealed.”[5] After this I looked, and the sanctuary of the tent of witness in heaven was opened, [6] and out of the sanctuary came the seven angels with the seven plagues, clothed in pure, bright linen, with golden sashes around their chests. [7] And one of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls full of the wrath of God who lives forever and ever, [8] and the sanctuary was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from his power, and no one could enter the sanctuary until the seven plagues of the seven angels were finished.
