Podcasts about Transamerica

In this powerful and transparent episode of the Uncommon Wealth Podcast, Phillip Ramsey sits down with Gabe Chamberlin—retirement plan specialist, musician, and Christ follower—whose life is a testament to what it means to live on mission. Though his career is rooted in the financial world as a wholesaler for Transamerica, Gabe stands out for his authenticity, his faith, and his refusal to conform to industry norms.The conversation dives into Gabe's transformation from a self-focused lifestyle to one centered on purpose and service. He opens up about a pivotal moment in 2007, when a night of drinking spiraled into legal trouble, jail time, and a life-altering wake-up call. It was in a cold jail cell, with nothing but books and God's Word, that Gabe surrendered his life to Christ. And in a beautiful twist only God could orchestrate—his now-wife Brooke made the same decision to follow Jesus on the very same night, though they hadn't spoken. That shared moment of divine alignment became the spiritual foundation of their marriage and their future.Gabe shares how faith now shapes every part of his life: from how he works, to how he parents, to how he uses his musical gifts to lead worship. He also reflects on a meaningful men's retreat, where an unexpected cold plunge became a symbol of courage and surrender. Letters from loved ones during that trip reminded him just how deeply his life has impacted others, often without his even knowing.This is a story about redemption, mission, and the grace of second chances. Same Night is more than a title—it's a reminder that transformation often begins when we least expect it, and sometimes, when it happens in tandem, it changes everything.

Ever lie awake at night wondering where your next deal is going to come from? Does the constant stream of rejection fill your future with uncertainty?Hearing constant "nos" can cause you to develop a scarcity mindset, and honestly, it's not only destroying your pipeline but also your company's potential.Authentic sales expert Scott Ramey joins us in this episode to guide you through the essential shift from scarcity vs. abundance. He's here to lead and inspire sellers, leaders, and businesses to build trust, take action, and drive results by adopting an abundance mentality.Meet Scott RameyScott Ramey, an authentic sales expert and former Fortune 500 C-Suite Executive, brings over three decades of corporate experience and more than $100 billion in successful sales.

His deep expertise in business development, team building, and leadership empowers individuals and organizations to achieve remarkable success.Scarcity Vs. Abundance Mindset: Let's Talk About ItWhy is the scarcity vs. abundance conversation so important for us to discuss? Scott shares how it all starts with the law of vibration. What you bring to the meeting with your prospects will be felt by them.If you're nervous, desperate, or upset, they will feel it no matter how much you try to hide it. The scarcity mindset tends to run prospects off, but with authentic interest, you may be able to reel them back into the conversation.Scott also dives into how people tend to carry their day-to-day burdens on their shoulders without realizing it, even him. At 19, he had his first anxiety attack, but kept his anxiety to himself until he opened up to his daughter two years ago. He realized how much was lifted off his shoulders, just by opening up to someone. He now encourages other sellers to find a mindful activity that helps them calm their minds so they're not bringing a scarcity mindset into conversations with their prospects.Developing an Abundant Mindset: How Can Sales Leaders HelpScott shares how sales leaders can help their reps with a scarcity vs. abundance mindset:Don't have unrealistic expectations or quotas.Create an environment that's safe to learn and develop.If you just start there, sales leaders can help remove the pressure from their sales reps. This will allow them to grow into an abundant mindset that helps drive sales.“When tension exists, the outcomes will not align.” - Scott Ramey.ResourcesLearn more about Scott and his teachings at thescottramey.comConnect with Scott on LinkedIn Sponsorship OffersThis episode is brought to you in part by Hubspot.With HubSpot sales hubs, your data tools and teams join a single platform to close deals and turn prospects into pipelines.

Send Me A Text Message I would love to know where you are listening to me from!!Hello again Fellow Golfists, I wanted to share that I had a great outing to the driving range at Sacramento National on 3.22.25.  I also wanted to share that I had a great time practicing with my new Scottie Scheffler Inspired / Style 5 iron with the correctly molded grip to enhance the attention that needs to be paid to having proper golf fundamentals.  I used a Golden Ram Tour Grind Axial 5 iron.    I also had a good session with my Honma CL 708 Forged blades that I had recently reshafted with a set of Precision FM 6.5 shafts that were originally in my Golden Ram Tour Grinds.  And once I made it to the practice green I had a good session with my Wilson 8802 and my PING B61 putter.  I also had the chance to meet someone who is considered a golf institution in the greater Sacramento area.  His name is Clyde Daniels.  Mr. Daniels was able to briefly share with me a few stories of what it was like to visit The Masters, organize a junior golf clinic with Charlie Sifford, and see Calvin Peete in his prime at the 1982 US Open at Pebble Beach.  Not to mention, he was able to qualify and play in the Transamerica at Silverado Golf Resort in Napa California, which was a stop on the PGA Champions Tour circuit. Thank you for listening to The Knackered Golfist Podcast.      Support the show#theknackeredgolfistpodcast@theknackeredgolfistCheck out The Knackered Golfist on YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/@TheKnackeredGolfistThis episode brought to you by the Forged Golf Club Appreciation page on FacebookOughton's Golf Repairhttps://oughtonsgolf.com/#myscorecardThank a Veteran Today!!https://www.pgareach.org/services/militaryThe Observant Ear Radio Network GOD Bless You!!

Today, the question is, what won't happen in 2025? Look ahead with a new Market Pulse from Tom Wald, Transamerica Asset Management, Inc., CIO. Hear Tom break down expectations and offer his year-end forecasts for stocks and fixed income, the economy, inflation, and much more.

In this episode of ThimbleberryU, we begin a two-part series debunking common myths about retirement. Jag and Amy Walls dive into the misconceptions that many people have when planning for their post-work years.The first myth we tackle is the belief that you need $1 million to retire comfortably. Amy explains that while this is often thrown around as a benchmark, the reality is far more nuanced. Retirement comfort depends on various factors like social security, pensions, and personal expenses. Many retirees live well on less than $1 million, provided they have a balanced financial plan and modest needs. Everyone's situation is different, and it's important to consider your own income sources and expenses, rather than focusing on an arbitrary number.Next, we explore the idea that retirement means never working again. Amy highlights that many retirees continue to work part-time, start businesses, or freelance to stay active and fulfilled. In fact, 56% of retirees plan to work in some capacity after retirement, according to a Transamerica study. Interestingly, however, studies show that those who make a clean break from work tend to be happier in retirement. The trick is finding purpose, whether through work, volunteering, or family.We also address the common belief that downsizing your home will always save money. While this might seem like a logical step, it doesn't always pan out financially. Real estate fees, moving costs, and potential renovations in the new home can eat into savings. Additionally, many retirees find themselves emotionally attached to their homes, especially when considering family gatherings or memories, making downsizing less appealing or practical.Another popular myth is that all debt should be paid off before retirement. While it's a comforting idea to enter retirement debt-free, it's not always necessary or even beneficial. Amy notes that paying off debt might require large withdrawals from retirement accounts, which can lead to significant tax consequences. Instead, it's important to assess your cash flow, the interest rates on your debt, and whether paying it off makes sense in the bigger picture.Finally, we debunk the notion that Medicare will cover all healthcare costs. While Medicare is essential, it doesn't cover everything. Gaps like long-term care, dental, and vision expenses can add up, with retirees needing an estimated $315,000 to cover healthcare costs. It's crucial to plan for these expenses early and consider supplement plans or health savings accounts.In our next episode, where we'll tackle five more retirement myths.

Other savings regrets included not making the most of their 401(k) plan, not enrolling in the plan early enough, and not saving the maximum amount allowed by their plan. What if I told you that if you invested $5000 per year for 40 years from age 25 to age 65 ($200,000 total) you could then withdraw ~$140,000 each year for the following 30 years? Not having a plan for retirementAccording to a Transamerica study it found that only 18% of retirees have a written plan. This is one of my favorite things to do with clients when we plan financially. As we enter the data in their financial plan, and add their goals and wishes, it shows them everything that is possible. It's especially great when I am able to surprise clients by telling them they can retire much sooner than they thought they could.Plan more carefully for the fun they want to have in RetirementTwo-thirds of pre-retirees (68%) have not completed a budget of anticipated income and expenses, according to Fidelity Investments. With the proper financial plan, I can show how they can spend much more in the earlier years, while they have the best health to do so. It's highly unlikely you will run out of money.In fact, overall, the retiree finishes with more than double their starting wealth in a whopping 2/3rds of the scenarios, and is more likely to finish with quintuple, or 5 times, their starting wealth than to finish with less than their starting principal.Plan For Health CareMany people are surprised when they hear that Medicare does not cover everything. The annual expenses for a couple in retirement are around $12,000. One of the best things a person can do to prepare for healthcare costs in retirement is to exercise regularly. In episode 29 of this podcast I shared how many retirees can have a healthy...

Here's part of the conversation between Karissa, Sarah, and Stewart: Karissa: It's truly bespoke. If a lender has extremely long duration needs, we can find that for them. Right now, it's really hard to find that because of what's going on in the market with interest rates, everybody wants short. However, if a lender needs three- to five-year duration, that's available as well. Stewart: That's cool. And so just so everyone's aware, Aegon Asset Management is part of Aegon, which is a massive insurance company. And Transamerica here in the US is part of that as well. Can you remind me and our listeners of the relationship between Aegon Asset Management and Transamerica on the commercial mortgage loan side? And just kind of set the stage for the rest of the podcast in terms of how you work together. Karissa: Sure. We began investing for them about 40 years ago, and we currently have a portfolio of about $11 billion on our general account. We also manage assets for third party investors, and we have about a $3 billion that we're managing for them.1 Typical loan sizes are around $15 million with a range of 3 to 50 million depending on the size of the insurer. We invest across all major sectors, primary, secondary, and tertiary markets. We're headquartered in Cedar Rapids, Iowa so we understand the nuances that are outside the top 100s. We've historically and continued to be an active investor in those markets when opportunities present themselves. Stewart: Yeah, it's funny, I had a friend who covered your shop in Cedar Rapids from Chicago years and years ago. I have fond memories of that area. So Karissa, a lot has changed in the market environment in the last two years in this space. You just referred to it a moment ago. And for all asset classes, but in particular, how has CML origination and allocation been affected?

Ever wanted to go cycle the TransAmerica Bike Trail? Well this episode features Kari Loia who did just that with his 75 year old dad.  What makes this journey even more unique though was that Kari's dad Merv was suffering from Alzheimers.  This made the trip far more poignant for Kari, as it was the final opportunity for them both to live out a goal which they had both talked about for years - to bike across America.  Kari talked me through his experiences of this trip, the extra complications brought about from having to also be caregiver to his father, who while physically fit and able to take on the journey, was still showing lots of signs of Alzheimers slowly taking hold.   This trip really came about because Kari decided to look at what his father could still do, rather than consign him away to Alzheimers completely. As Kari mentioned during the episode, for each of the 73 days of their journey, his father could not recall where they started or where they ended their trip.  Yet his father had a beaming grin, as he cycled up Hoosier Pass, snowbanks either side of him, and was living completely in the moment the entire time on that 7,500km journey. Kari also took the time to journal this bike tour by way of transcribing over 300 conversations had with strangers along the way. He would later turn this into a book titled Conversations Across America which I can highly recommend.You can learn more about Kari via his website: ) www.dreamerdoercoaching.com To purchase his book check out this link - Conversations Across America Support the showEnjoying Seek Travel Ride?

Great Earthquakes & Tsunamis (2) (audio) David Eells Time is Running Out   Marie Kelton - 2/8/23 (David's notes in red)   The Lord gave me this open vision at night, I was asleep but I woke up and I saw the Lord standing at the foot of my bed He was wearing a hooded white cloak so I could not see His face. The Lord was holding a pocket watch by the chain in His right hand.   The arms on the watch was moving really fast. I didn't think anything of it and tried to go back to sleep. I then saw the vision again but this time the Lord was at the side of my bed where I was trying to sleep. (I thought the interpretation was, “Time is running out.”) (Time is fast running out. The Man-child is coming to choose the Bride at the time of the earthquakes that are already beginning.)       San Francisco, Golden Gate Bridge Quake   Michael Boldea Jr. – 2-3-2006   (Isa.24:19-20) The earth is violently broken, the earth is split open, the earth is shaken exceedingly. The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall totter like a hut; Its transgression shall be heavy upon it, and it will fall, and not rise again.   While I was in Romania, one night after my devotions I went to bed, exhausted and in need of much sleep …My body ached, and all I really wanted was to get some good rest.   As I fell into a deep sleep I had a dream. I dreamt I was in a hotel room, asleep, when the bed began to shake violently. I knew what was happening right away. Having lived in California in the 1980s I was keenly aware of what an earthquake felt like. Suddenly I was no longer in bed, but high above San Francisco bay, looking down on the golden gate bridge. As I watched it, it began to shudder, break apart, and fall into the waters below. I continued to watch the devastation, seeing buildings collapse, and masses of people trying to find shelter. Then a voice spoke out of the heavens, a voice I had never heard before, a voice of great authority: "I will shake this land from its foundations, such as the eyes of this generation have not seen. The world will stand in awe, and tremble in fear, as even the very geography of this nation will be transformed. My wrath is ready to be poured out, for sin has overrun My temple".   In my dream I began to weep, not due to the devastation I was seeing, but due to the great power of the voice I was hearing. I woke up trembling, unable to breathe, and tired as I was I could not go to sleep again.   Shortly before sunrise, my phone began to ring, and when I answered it, it was my brother Daniel. "Are you awake?" he asked, "Yes", I answered.   "I had a dream last night", he continued, "it was a terrible dream. I dreamt of a big earthquake coming to America".   When I told him I'd had the same dream, he was silent for some time, then said, "I'm coming over so we can pray".   He had just arrived at my apartment, when my phone rang again. It was a brother from 200 kilometers away, who is prophetically gifted, and has spoken many words over me that have come to pass.   "Is this Mike?" When I answered in the affirmative, he said, "I had a dream last night, and I felt I needed to call and tell you about it. I dreamt of a terrible earthquake in your country. I saw a big bridge that just collapsed I saw destruction as I have never seen before. Does this mean anything to you?"   It took me some time to find something to say. I was speechless, and could find no words. On the same night, three different people had the same dream, with the same vivid details. Knowing that the brother had a prayer group that met nightly, I asked him to remember America in their prayers whenever they prayed, and he said he would. Before he hung up he said, "Mike, I've had many dreams in my life, the Lord willed it so, but none has scared me as the dream I had last night. Only God can protect someone through something like that; there is no other hope but to run to Him".   No matter what may come upon this land, we know that God abides with His faithful, keeping them, guiding them, and protecting them. Events will begin to unfold upon this earth, that will make even the mightiest of men tremble in fear, but knowing that we have a shelter from the storm, a sovereign God who watches over us, fearlessly we press on faithful in all that He asks of us.   (Psa.91:7-11) A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; But it shall not come near you. Only with your eyes shall you look, and see the reward of the wicked. Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge, even the Most High, your habitation, no evil shall befall you, nor shall any plague come near your dwelling; For He shall give His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways.       Massive Asteroid and Tsunami Hit the Atlantic Ocean https://youtu.be/NZu1xk5IGHw?si=2kpWcjUdFd9K3qty I wanted to tell you another dream I had a while back that I want to get out there. I want to get this on the web to let people pray over it. I don't know if this happens during the tribulation or before the tribulation as part of the birthing pains. In this dream there's a massive asteroid coming into the Earth and everybody could see it. You could hear it and it sounded like massive freight trains and it's shaking everything, because it's moving so fast. I went outside in the dream and I looked up at this massive streak of light, a fireball was coming out of the sky and it was moving so quick and so fast that it sounded like the whole earth was shaking. It was incredible and humongous. In the dream the United States tried to shoot it down with a laser beam. It was moving too quick to shoot it down with a rocket so they used this green laser beam and they hit it.  It split the rock in two. Then there was still this massive asteroid and it busted up all of the other half into little fragments. The massive asteroid hit by the islands by San Juan Puerto Rico.  It hit by the Bahamas, all that area. It crashed into the ocean and created a massive tsunami like, I don't know, 100 feet tall or more and it was moving so quick and so fast that it covered the islands. It covered Haiti up; it went over the top of them. I could see in the dream that these islands were completely engulfed with water.   It went clear into Africa. When it came into America because it was so close it hit Miami, it hit North and South Carolina and all that area.  The main area that I was shown in the dream was the Miami area, Fort Lauderdale, and it went inland like the one that hit Japan. The tsunami washed in and wiped out houses and buildings like they were nothing; it just blew them down.  There were millions of people that were in trouble or dead. When I woke up the Lord had me praying for these people that they would hear him and they would not be there at that time, that they would leave if this is something that is going to happen soon. Pray for these people to get out of Harm's Way. This was something that had me wake up in a cold sweat because it shook me. I was like man, Lord I have got to tell people about this but I've just prayed over it until now. I felt that it was gonna happen. I don't know if we can stop it or prevent it. I looked on at the NASA site to see but they didn't know this was coming or announce it on TV.  It caused devastation worldwide.     Great West Coast Tsunami  Chad - 4/3/2011  In this dream, I just had a knowing that I was in the state of Idaho. (Idaho is located in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, Oregon is to the west, Washington is to the northwest and beyond is the Pacific Ocean.)   I then looked toward the west (The Pacific) and began to watch a massive wave approaching. This wave was so high that very little of the actual sky was visible above the wave. It overtook what appeared to be a smaller wave in front of it. I was not afraid in this dream but realized that I must seek high ground. I started working my way up a neighborhood street that went uphill. I knew that I must get to over 1000 feet high on this hill.  Pacific Northwest: 2008  In this dream, I was high above the United States. There were earthquakes all over the west coast in magnitude ranging from 3 to 6. My focus was especially on Nevada that had a magnitude 6+ earthquake. (Most of Nevada is much farther from the big one) Then I saw the entire Pacific Northwest covered in water. The water covered Idaho all the way to Montana's west coast. All of the high areas in these three states appeared like hundreds of small islands.  April 1, 2011  I was in the ocean in a small boat. I felt in this dream that I was a scientist studying tsunami waves. I must have known they were coming to be way out there. The first wave in the ocean picked me high up. I thought, "Wow, when this reaches land it will be massive!" Then three more waves came, the last wave being the smallest. Then a rescue helicopter came to get me. I did not want to get into the plane but the pilot/rescue person insisted.   We then flew to what I thought to be the nearest island. It was the island of Samoa. The island was completely destroyed. There were a few survivors. I marveled that the wave must have been high to destroy the airport control towers. The waves swept the entire island. I then was in a room with the helicopter pilot. He was very distraught because his wife and baby were on the west coast. I asked, "Why don't you warn them?" He responded, "Where would they go? Where could they hide?" So, it seemed it was better they didn't know what was coming. Then we watched a news show on TV. The show was using a graphic to describe the height of these waves. It used the Eiffel tower as a demo, showing the waves going over the Eiffel tower.  I woke up and was immediately thinking of the scripture about a woman in travail, in labor. I asked, "God, why did you use this as an analogy?" I felt like He asked back, "What happens before a woman gives birth?" I knew that her water breaks. (Note from David: If this is the water breaking, it could happen just before the man-child ministry is born.)  I later went over to the computer and Googled the height of the Eiffel tower. It is 1063 feet high! Which is the second time I have had a tsunami dream giving a height of over 1000 feet.  I asked the Lord if I should share this with the body or the elders. I opened my Bible and put my finger down on the word "house". :)  Note: Look what made the news the very next day after I shared this on the broadcast! May be God confirming.      Ball of Fire Brings Tsunami to the Gulf Rex - December 2003  In a vision, I was standing on a beach looking out into the Gulf and I knew I was in Florida, at the base of the state. Looking to my right, southwest low in the sky, I noticed a ball of fire moving at a tremendous rate of speed with a white tail behind it; further back, the tail turned into black smoke. It went out to the horizon and disappeared. (This could have been towards Puerto Rico where the space rock will fall to start the chain reaction.) A few minutes later, I saw a huge white flash. As I wondered about this, I heard in my spirit, "You need to get off this beach". At first I didn't move and then I saw what I thought were ripples out on the horizon moving in my direction, then what appeared to be bubbling way out and then a huge white ball with fire shooting out of the center; again out on the horizon. (It struck magma) The ripples began to turn into waves and I heard again, except more direct, "Get off of this beach". I turned to run and immediately I was in a poor section of town, still in Florida, close to the beach, looking up into high-rise tenement houses, pleading with people to get out of them and follow me. I was telling them, "Take nothing, leave everything; come on, let's go". Many stuck their heads out of their windows, shook their heads, waved me off and went back inside. Then I heard, "Rex, run!" I asked where and the voice said, "Up".  I took that to mean north. So I turned and ran and ran and ran. Every once in a while I would turn back to see what was happening and I noticed a huge wave rushing toward the beach at a phenomenal speed; it was high, raging, angry-looking and huge. I stopped trying to get anyone to listen and started concentrating on running. Not sure how long I ran but I ran to what I think was almost the border of Tennessee.  I was standing on a hill, looking back over several states and I could see water rising. I saw Florida, Louisiana, most of Texas, a good portion of Mississippi and half of Alabama covered with water. People were everywhere -- debris and huge damage.  At this point I was taken to San Francisco but I was looking at it from the vantage point of the air. I could see all of the coast line, both north and south. I recognized the Transamerica building and water was halfway up. People were hanging out of the windows and in the water. The building looked like it was about a half mile out in the water.  I woke up.      Death-and-Back Vision of Coming Calamities  Elane Durham Elane was clinically dead for an hour and was being prepped for the morgue when she came back from the dead. Meanwhile she was given a tour of heaven as well as a vision of what could happen on this planet given our current course.      A Changed North America As the angel pointed in front of me a wide view of land and water opened up, so that at first I thought I was seeing two countries. Instantly it was made known to me that I was looking at a vastly changed portion of North America, which was completely divided by a large body of water, and which had lost a large part of both eastern and western shorelines. (The New Madrid fault zone divides the U.S.) As I saw this I was given a total understanding of the natural and man-made disasters that would need to occur to make these changes, and I was informed that these might or might not come to pass according to our choices as a people -- according to my choices as an individual.     Great Destruction  In this scenario icebergs and polar icecaps were melting. Earthquakes had occurred and there had been hurricanes and fierce storms -- the whole country had been ravaged by these things. I could also see massive fires burning here and there -- not so much the flames as the smoke that was ascending toward me -- as huge areas of the country seemed to be burning or burned. (Fireballs from P-X) There were also explosions in some areas, sort of like sheet lightning in a dark sky, that were doing great damage. (The flyby can cause this.) Where Washington and Oregon had been there were mostly islands, the water coming inland over most of California and Arizona and parts of Utah and Nevada. Yet there were also islands there, massive ones, so it wasn't like it was all ocean....  On the East Coast I saw that much of the eastern seaboard was gone, though the water did not come so far inland as it did on the West (Left) Coast. I was also aware that the southern half of Florida was under water.  I don't remember seeing anything like Central America or South America, for water surrounded what I was seeing, and I didn't really focus on what was beyond that water. Yet at the same time, I had the understanding that the waters had risen around the entire earth, (P-X slowing the earth's rotation sends the 700 extra feet of water at the equator, due to centrifugal force, to the north and south.) and that everything had changed to one degree or another.      Two Separate Countries  The area of water in the middle of ... the United States was massive, and was widest or most extensive in the north. There were no Great Lakes as I had known them, for all of them had come together into this huge sea that extended northeastward into the ocean. The inland sea also extended southward, filling most of the Mississippi and Missouri River valleys and widening by many, many miles the Mississippi River where it flows into what we know as the Gulf of Mexico. This sea was so vast that I knew it could not be bridged, and so in essence the United States had become as two separate countries.      Tsunami Flooding  Augusto Perez - 08/02/2009  I was looking at a large map of Florida and the United States when I saw water begin to come in the East Coast about 15-25 miles inland. Some places were worse than others. I saw Jacksonville on the map and the water had come in about 25 miles inland. As I kept looking, I saw the whole East Coast of the U.S. being flooded the same way, as well as the rest of the continent all the way down to very tip of South America. The ocean had come in about 25 miles, maybe more.  Interpretation  Some kind of cataclysmic event will take place that will trigger tsunamis and cause ocean tides to flood the eastern coast of North American. I was shown the water will come 15-25 miles inland, varying from place to place. Everything in those areas will be under water.  {Luk.21:25} And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring.      Great Quake & Tsunami   Shirley Hinkle - 9/1/2006   (David's notes in red)   Word given on 9/1/2006 - Do You Trust Me?   It's with a heavy heart I write this. God has spoken into my heart again that the day is coming very quickly of a massive earthquake that will cause a great, massive tsunami. There is going to be massive destruction; no place to bury the dead.   He said to me again, "It's Time! Out of death will come resurrection life!" (Resurrection life as a revival comes, more or less, after every catastrophe like this.)   We will be surrounded by death and destruction, but it will not come nigh unto us if we dwell in the secret place. Great fear will come, overwhelming even the strongest, but with this God will pour out His peace and His perfect love will come and cast out all fear.   He has set us apart to be His voice in the last days. Those who have been obedient to come out from among them and be ye separate.   "When the flood of destruction comes remember the words I have spoken in Isaiah 54. (This chapter emphasizes endurance in trial, protection and perfection.)   A massive flood will sweep over the land and as in the natural so shall it be in the spiritual, I will pour out of my spirit upon all flesh! (This came also at the beginning and end of the Gospels. An outpouring of the Former Rain came to the man-child, Jesus, at the beginning and to the saints at the end, symbolizing the Latter Rain coming before and after the first 3 1/2 years of the tribulation.)   The judgment on this state, this nation, is to redeem fallen man, the backslidden church. It is to awake, stir, shake, change His people!   It is the end of all things as you know it, all shall be new. Even though you are reading the last chapters and the end of the book it is really just the beginning. For I am the Beginning and the End... (Notice once again the Beginning and End are emphasized. He will come as the Latter Rain in the beginning to anoint the man-child ministry and at the end of 3 1/2 years to anoint those raised up by them. He will come after two days or 2000 years, on the morning of the third day or third thousand years. {Hos.6:2} After two days will he revive us: on the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live before him. {3} And let us know, let us follow on to know Jehovah: his going forth is sure as the morning; and he will come unto us as the rain, as the latter rain that watereth the earth. He will begin the last 3 1/2 years with the mark of the beast to separate the righteous from the wicked, the Latter Rain outpouring and judgment.) There is no time to eternity..." Wow, what a thought.   His Name will be glorified again. His word will become flesh again through His Repented Church! God will be Glorified!   He is a Father to the fatherless so when you can't reach out to man in this time, remember to call upon your Heavenly Father and He will be an ever-present help in the time of trouble.   As with Jesus when he was raised from the dead, the angel rolled the stone away and there was a great earthquake... again God is going to roll away the stone of death in the church, with an earthquake and resurrection life will come forth. {Mt.28:2} And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled away the stone, and sat upon it.   Jesus will reveal Himself again. Truth will be spoken from the pulpits and in the streets again. The church will repent and cry out for righteousness. She will hunger for His presence. He will be manna from heaven again to His people.   Great darkness is here, but God in all of His Glory is going to shine upon His children. The Church, the True, Repentant, will Stand in these final days.   We are to remain in the city... We are going to be endowed with power from on high. We are not going to run away in fear but STAND and be a witness to this final generation, in this final hour.   It's Time, and the question He is asking all of us in this hour is... DO YOU TRUST ME?       Three Tsunami's of Judgment Hit the West Coast  Living in His Glory Ministry - YouTube - 7/7/22   (David's notes in red) (I know there are spiritual aspects to this dream but I also know earthquakes and tsunamis are coming to the Left Coast and this teaching may save some.) In the dream me and my wife were in our house and we were just doing our regular stuff around the house. All of a sudden, we see water start to pour into the house. We left the house and took the keys, the wallet, the phone and the stuff we needed and ran out the house up this huge flight of stairs. As we were running up this flight of stairs, I remember telling people, “God's done with it! He's tired of the homosexuals and of people living in sin! He's tired of people fornicating! He gave you time to repent and the same God that flooded Noah's age is the same God that's about to flood you! Repent so you can make it up the stairs!” (Pro 18:10 The name of Jehovah is a strong tower; The righteous runneth into it, and is safe. And 2 Pe. 2:4-9 For if God spared not angels when they sinned, but cast them down to hell, and committed them to pits of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; 5 and spared  not the ancient world, but preserved Noah with seven others, a preacher of righteousness, when he brought a flood upon the world of the ungodly; 6 and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, having made them an example unto those that should live ungodly 8 (for that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their lawless deeds): 9 the Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptation, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment unto the day of judgment.)  When I said this, I was referring to this long staircase that was a very tall platform. (This platform just represents fleeing to higher ground in the Lord to escape His judgments.) The people on the beach were dressed however they wanted to be, and they laughed at me, as well as the rush of other people that were with me to go up these stairs. (Along with the righteous, those in apostate Christianity may escape some of the initial judgments but ultimately, without repentance, they will be judged for their idolatry with the world and its ways.) So me and my wife go up these stairs and we were looking down from the balcony and we saw this massive tsunami. It was as high as a skyscraper. It hit the West Coast and the beaches and killed everyone on the beaches. And this is the crazy part, we were in a very very high platform that had a staircase going up and on the platform there was a bunch of other people we didn't know. But we were all looking at each other and some people were cooking and talking and other people were just looking down and I was with my wife. This was a massive platform like the size of a small city. (Psa. 9:7-12 But Jehovah sitteth as king forever: He hath prepared his throne for judgment; 8 And he will judge the world in righteousness, He will minister judgment to the peoples in uprightness. 9 Jehovah also will be a high tower for the oppressed, A high tower in times of trouble; 10 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee; For thou, Jehovah, hast not forsaken them that seek thee. 11 Sing praises to Jehovah, who dwelleth in Zion: Declare among the people his doings. 12 For he that maketh inquisition for blood remembereth them; He forgetteth not the cry of the poor.)  The tsunami was not high enough to reach where we were on the balcony. There was a comfortable amount of separation between us and the tsunami. So we came back down after the tsunami hit and everybody that was on this platform came down and we go back to our regular life. We went back into the house and we were talking and we went back to cooking and to our regular life. (This indicates that the judgments will come in waves.)  Then the second time, the same thing happened. We saw water coming into the house again, so we went in a hurry, drove our car, parked and this time, there's people arguing in the parking lot! I was like, “Y'all just drop the argument! Let's go up to the platform quickly and this time we didn't try to evangelize, we just ran straight up to the balcony to this platform.   The tsunami was even taller this time but the platform was taller too. Everybody was on the beach again the same way as was the first time. I remember thinking to myself and telling everybody around me on the platform, “They just saw the first crowd get wiped out not long ago! This is ridiculous! Why don't they repent and join us?” (I'm sure Noah felt the same way.)  Everyone on the beach were a bunch of homosexuals again dressed real nasty. People were drinking and smoking; doing all that they wanted to do on the beach and the wave came again and just took them all away. I saw these sea creature beasts in the waters mingled in. Again the platform was even higher. So once the tsunami swept everything out to sea then we went down the platform again.   Then it happened the third time. This time I remembered more vividly the path that we were taking to run to the platform. And as we were running, there were people looking at us like we were crazy. I said, “Y'all are crazy! You don't understand!” But they just looked at us like we were out of our minds because we had everything we needed like our ID's, our wallet, some cash, house keys in case we came back again. We just had enough to actually make it to the platform to survive on the platform. But everybody around down on the streets were just talking and so casual, but I and my wife knew in the Spirit that something serious and terrible was about to hit. So we ran up to this platform the third time and when I saw the wave coming, we were still very comfortably above the tsunami. This last tsunami was massive because the platform was shaking like an earthquake. It wasn't rocking but we knew there was a seriousness to this last one. Then I woke up and I couldn't go back to sleep for a while and I prayed about it, that God would account me and my wife worthy to not go through that wave of judgment. (Luk 21:34-36 But take heed to yourselves, lest haply your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that day come on you suddenly as a snare: 35 for so shall it come upon all them that dwell on the face of all the earth. 36 But watch ye at every season, making supplication, that ye may prevail to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.)  My interpretation of the dream is that there's going to be a series of judgments that's going to be passed upon the West coast because this place, where I live, is full of wickedness and perversion.       Escaping Martial Law and God's Tsunamis Sandy Shaw - 8/9/2016 (David's notes in red)  In a dream I had two times (Joseph said when a dream is doubled this means it would surely come to pass) I was standing in Corona, California, on 6th St. I heard planes that shot missiles. I saw them hit the buildings and explode. I also saw military men walking on foot with their rifles, amongst a lot of chaos. (The DS military will use the chaos due to the earthquakes and tsunamis to try to bring the U.S. and Christians back under their control but, for the true Christians, it will be like Pharaoh trying to recapture the Israelites at the Red Sea. The dreams have said the radical Islamists and the anarchists and invaders over the southern border will cause chaos to help the DS.. Yes, the Chinese Communists are here to cause chaos but the biggest part of this threat has been put down by the angels. (The dreams of their West Coast invasion of America are mostly near the end of the tribulation.) Martial law will also be enforced. The DS takes advantage of every catastrophe to attack their enemies. This is a Civil War.  A World War will ensue which we will speak of later.) People were running everywhere. The military were either shooting or arresting people. (Like the DS did at Maui and Paradise and Chile) I knew that those being arrested were going to FEMA camps. (I believe they will be arresting the right wing, many Christians and their leaders, or people whose land they were stealing to make smart cities, being removed and imprisoned, as God said would happen in the Word, dreams, visions and prophecies.)   David: Missy Pollock emailed me concerning martial law, saying, "When I got back from the prayer meeting this morning, the sound of locusts got my attention. What came to mind was the Joel northern army (who were likened to locusts for multitude). I then thought about Ezekiel 17 where it talks about civil war between the two eagles, which represent the U.S.   "I remembered that I had received Ezekiel 17 verses a lot recently. Most recently I asked the Lord if martial law was going to happen and I received on 8/05/16 {Eze.17:12} Say now to the rebellious house, Know ye not what these things mean? tell them, Behold, the king of Babylon came to Jerusalem, and took the king thereof (The apostate Zedekiah leadership), and the princes thereof, and brought them to him to Babylon. (Martial law could partially fulfill this captivity of the apostates to the King of Babylon before their fall. But I don't doubt they will arrest leaders of the Church and/or burn Churches.) I asked if martial law was going to come through civil unrest and received three heads for a "yes". (I did, too.)   "The other two times were on 7/23/16 I received verse 23 and on 7/31/16 verse 24. All these verses were my verses for the prayer meeting on those days". {Eze.17:22} Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will also take of the lofty top of the cedar, and will set it; I will crop off from the topmost of its young twigs a tender one, and I will plant it upon a high and lofty mountain: (This represents the rise of the Man-child reformer ministries on spiritual Mt. Zion.) {23} in the mountain of the height of Israel will I plant it; and it shall bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, and be a goodly cedar: and under it shall dwell all birds of every wing (All nations of Christians); in the shade of the branches thereof shall they dwell. {24} And all the trees of the field shall know that I, Jehovah, have brought down the high tree (The proud false leaders), have exalted the low tree (The humble Man-child reformer leadership), have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree to flourish; I, Jehovah, have spoken and have done it.    After martial law takes apostate Christianity captive in parts of the country and the government falls at the quake and tsunami on DC and the East Coast, the Man-child government will begin to rise up for God's people, as in history: {Isa.9:5} For all the armor of the armed man in the tumult, and the garments rolled in blood, shall be for burning, for fuel of fire. {6} For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. (A dual prophecy of Jesus the Man-child and Jesus in the corporate body Man-child in these days.) {7} Of the increase of his government and of peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from henceforth even forever. The zeal of Jehovah of hosts will perform this. The Son of God came in a body of the Son of David at the time of the Roman Beast captivity and history will repeat on a larger corporate scale now as Jesus comes in the Man-child.      World War in the Chaos and the Wilderness David Eells In the Midst of the earthquakes and tsunamis the Man-child ministry will be anointed to conquer the DS resurgence and lead God's people into the wilderness Tribulation. Rev 6:2-4 And I saw, and behold, a white horse, and he that sat thereon had a bow; and there was given unto him a crown: and he came forth conquering, and to conquer. (This is the Man-child ministry in whom Jesus lives by Word and Spirit. These will conquer the beast holding God's people in bondage.) 3  And when he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, Come.  4  And another horse came forth, a red horse: and to him that sat thereon it was given to take peace from the earth, and that they should slay one another: and there was given unto him a great sword. (This is a true World War between both entities, DS and Alliance have a world footprint.) In the chaos of earthquakes and tsunamis the DS will seek to bring the Christians and the country back into submission but it will ultimately be like Pharoah's army at the Red Sea seeking to recover their loss but dying for it.  Exo 14:21-31 And Moses (A type of the Man-child company) stretched out his hand over the sea; and Jehovah caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all the night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.  22  And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.  23  And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them into the midst of the sea, all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.  24  And it came to pass in the morning watch, that Jehovah looked forth upon the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of cloud, and discomfited the host of the Egyptians.  25  And he took off their chariot wheels, and they drove them heavily; so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for Jehovah fighteth for them against the Egyptians.  26  And Jehovah said unto Moses, Stretch out thy hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.  27  And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and Jehovah overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.  28 And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, even all the host of Pharaoh that went in after them into the sea; there remained not so much as one of them.  29 But the children of Israel walked upon dry land in the midst of the sea; and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.  30 Thus Jehovah saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the seashore.  31 And Israel saw the great work which Jehovah did upon the Egyptians, and the people feared Jehovah: and they believed in Jehovah, and in his servant Moses. And from here the Man-child company will lead the Christians worldwide into the wilderness tribulation as a larger repeat of history. According to History Cyrus/Trump will conquer DS Babylon like the waves coming together on Pharoah's army. The Lord in the Man-child company will see to it. This destruction of the factious Edomites in church and state who hated their brothers will ultimately come to an end by the David Man-child's hands as history repeats. Isa 62:11 Behold, Jehovah hath proclaimed unto the end of the earth, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with him (The reward is for His Man-child and Bride to rebuild the Kingdom), and his recompense before him (The destruction of the Edomite factions in government and Church.). Isa 63:1-3 Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, marching in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save.  2  Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winevat?  3  I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the peoples there was no man with me: yea, I trod them in mine anger, and trampled them in my wrath; and their lifeblood is sprinkled upon my garments, and I have stained all my raiment. The Soloman Man-child anointing will take it from there to rebuild the Temple made of sanctified people, which is the Kingdom with the reward. The war and the natural destruction will bring the world to a wilderness state for God's people to be matured worldwide. Isa 14:17  that made the world as a wilderness, and overthrew the cities thereof; that let not loose his prisoners to their home? Kathleen received by faith at random Eze 7:23-27  Make the chain; for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is full of violence.  24  Wherefore I will bring the worst of the nations, and they shall possess their houses: I will also make the pride of the strong to cease; and their holy places shall be profaned (Churches).  25  Destruction cometh; and they shall seek peace, and there shall be none.  26  Mischief shall come upon mischief, and rumor shall be upon rumor; and they shall seek a vision of the prophet; but the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the elders.  27  The king shall mourn, and the prince shall be clothed with desolation, and the hands of the people of the land shall be troubled: I will do unto them after their way, and according to their deserts will I judge them; and they shall know that I am Jehovah. While the world goes to war in the flesh we have a different war to fight and it's against the flesh. As Moses and Jesus went through their own wilderness to overcome the devil in order to be qualified to bring God's people through the wilderness tribulation so it is for the Man-child to bring the Church through tribulation. Mat 4:1 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. As Jesus fed the early Church in the wilderness so the later rain Church will be fed by Him through the Man-child body. The wilderness was a place where man's works could not feed or save them. That's all the apostate Church has is false kingdoms and self-works. They simply do not keep the spiritual Sabbath because they will not cease from fleshly works. But these cannot save you in the wilderness where only healings and miracles did and can. There they were to learn faith in their Saviour, without which we cannot be well pleasing to God.  Exo 5:1  And afterward Moses and Aaron came, and said unto Pharaoh, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, Let my people go, that they may hold a feast unto me in the wilderness. He also said that they could not sacrifice to God in Egypt, meaning of course under bondage to the old man and building his Egyptian kingdom. It will be by grace and not works or it will not be acceptable to God. A few days ago I had a vivid dream that finished with an open vision.  In the dream I saw a quarterback on one side of the football field. He was way too far from the end zone but the clock was running down and they were about to lose the game. In the end zone was a receiver who saw this as hopeless and put his hands over his face and was shaking his head because it was impossible for the ball to reach him. The quarterback reared back and let go with what we use to call a “hail Mary” pass. This is where I woke up and the dream turned into an open vision. I saw the ball land on the back of the receiver's hands and stick there. So they won an impossible win but the first thing that came to me was that was total grace, unmerited favor, and they wouldn't have won any other way. The back of the hands is not where you do your works and who can catch a ball there? Jesus has given all to us but we too often prefer our fleshly methods and have faith for nothing that Jesus accomplished. All who act as if they will be saved by man's works will fail. 2Ti 2:5  And if also a man contend in the games, he is not crowned, except he have contended lawfully. “Whatsoever is not of faith is sin.” Exo 15:22  And Moses led Israel onward from the Red Sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur… Because it was the only way these slaves to Egypt were going to make it to the Promised Land of milk and honey. And David led the people into the wilderness to overcome his traitorous Edomite type son. Psa 63:1  A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah. O God, thou art my God; earnestly will I seek thee: My soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee, In a dry and weary land, where no water is. They got water out of a rock. Do we have time to dig a well? Do we really want to walk in the steps of Jesus and His disciples by faith? And the Bride had to go through her own wilderness to learn to lean only on her Lord. Son 8:5  Who is this that cometh up from the wilderness, Leaning upon her beloved? And the people of God will bear fruit of faith and power in the wilderness tribulation. Isa 32:15  until the Spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness become a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be esteemed as a forest. Isa 32:16  Then justice shall dwell in the wilderness; and righteousness shall abide in the fruitful field. Isa 35:6  Then shall the lame man leap as a hart, and the tongue of the dumb shall sing; for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert. Isa 40:3  The voice of one that crieth, Prepare ye in the wilderness the way of Jehovah; make level in the desert a highway for our God. A John the Baptist text who was all about repentance from dead works of the Pharisees. Isa 43:19  Behold, I will do a new thing; now shall it spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. 20  The beasts of the field shall honor me, the jackals and the ostriches; because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen. Eze 20:35  and I will bring you into the wilderness of the peoples, and there will I enter into judgment with you face to face. 36  Like as I entered into judgment with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I enter into judgment with you, saith the Lord Jehovah. Many of them fell because of unbelief and trusting in the works of man. We have two neighbors who were preachers of a non-spirit filled religion and taught their people to go to man because that is how God does His works now. Both were dying as we were told a lot of those who listened to them were. One just died of a blood clot suddenly, sound familiar?, the other is dying of cancers one after another that spread like lightening through his body.  Sound familiar? The one with the blood clot had just seen an astounding creative miracle happen in front of his face and couldn't believe it. The short version is this: We had a very long PVC suction line going about 700' to the pump on our property that pushed the water up our mountain. The head pressure against the pump was extreme. But the city backflushed the line and blew the couplings off of the PVC pipe under the ground so the pump was getting zero water. The city man at the meter said the water was coming towards us wide open but we got not a drop. The pump had burned up and the motor got water in it and went zero to ground and just smoked. There is no repair for this, you have to rewind the motor and rebuild the pump and pipe leak could not be found. This equipment was in a concrete circaugagus with a concrete lid to cover it. This was a literal grave and we were looking down into it feeling like the receiver with his hands over his face. But Jesus had a plan!  What came to me was “Let's throw the lid on it and go up to the house and turn the breaker and water on so we did. When we got home I said, “Let's throw the breaker on, I am going to take a shower”. So Michael threw the breaker and I got in the shower and opened the faucet and it came full force and I hollered at Michael, “We've got water!!!”  The preacher asked us how we fixed it cuz he saw the whole thing. We said, “We didn't, God Did”. He didn't say a word. Father gave grace through faith, a gift from God. Eph 2:7  that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus: 8  for by grace have ye been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; 9  not of works, that no man should glory. 10  For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God afore prepared that we should walk in them. If we are limited to man's works we will not live through the wilderness. After the wilderness one should believe in miracles because that was all that saved them. Jer 17:5  Thus saith Jehovah: Cursed is the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from Jehovah. 6  For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh, but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, a salt land and not inhabited.  7  Blessed is the man that trusteth in Jehovah, and whose trust Jehovah is. 8  For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, that spreadeth out its roots by the river, and shall not fear when heat cometh, but its leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit. Heb 10:38  But my righteous one shall live by faith: And if he shrink back, my soul hath no pleasure in him. 39  But we are not of them that shrink back unto perdition; but of them that have faith unto the saving of the soul. So all of those who think they will fly over the wilderness to the Promised Land are not preparing for the wilderness through faith in the Word and cannot guide anyone there. The testings just ahead in our wilderness are like Jesus' testing and Moses' testings and Israels testings. So let us obey Heb 10:23  let us hold fast the confession of our hope that it waver not; for he is faithful that promised: Jas 1:2  Count it all joy, my brethren, when ye fall into manifold temptations; 3  knowing that the proving of your faith worketh patience. 4  And let patience have its perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, lacking in nothing.  5  But if any of you lacketh wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all liberally and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. 6  But let him ask in faith, nothing doubting: for he that doubteth is like the surge of the sea driven by the wind and tossed. 7  For let not that man think that he shall receive anything of the Lord; 8  a doubleminded man, unstable in all his ways. Mar 11:23  Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou taken up and cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that what he saith cometh to pass; he shall have it.  Mar 11:24  Therefore I say unto you, All things whatsoever ye pray and ask for, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. 25  And whensoever ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have aught against any one; that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. If we hold fast to the word to the end of our trial we will receive all. Heb 3:6-14 ASV  but Christ as a son, over his house; whose house are we, if we hold fast our boldness and the glorying of our hope firm unto the end. 7  Wherefore, even as the Holy Spirit saith, To-day if ye shall hear his voice,  8  Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, Like as in the day of the trial in the wilderness,  9  Where your fathers tried me by proving me, And saw my works forty years.  10  Wherefore I was displeased with this generation, And said, They do always err in their heart: But they did not know my ways;  11  As I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.  12  Take heed, brethren, lest haply there shall be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God:  13  but exhort one another day by day, so long as it is called To-day; lest anyone of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin:  14  for we are become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our confidence firm unto the end: 1Pe 1:7-9 that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold that perisheth though it is proved by fire, may be found unto praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ:  8  whom not having seen ye love; on whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice greatly with joy unspeakable and full of glory:  9  receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
