Prophecy#21-a Our Lord is saying, “Haters of Truth say they are Righteous for their endeavors to Save the Planet for all Mankind. Their Righteousness is Filthy as Rags.” “The Truth is not in them. They are Spoiled Seed from The Father of Lies! Watch them lash out with Blood in Their Eyes. They cannot believe what they see nor understand how it could be happening to them. Saying, ‘It is not Fair for the Deplorables to take back what we worked so hard to Steal.'” It is Written: “For everyone practicing evil Hates the Light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who Does the Truth Comes to the Light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in G3D” (John 3:20-21 NKJV).

Hounds Have Treed: Our Lord has said, “I have Loosed the Hounds who will Hunt the Financial Trails tracking the monies sown into Corrupting the Powers in Politics, Justice, Law, and Order.” (see Prophecy#8) “Now the Hounds are chasing the Evil Doers up the Tree of Unforgiveness. What they thought in the beginning was a Money Tree, free and easy money if you are willingly to do Lucifer's Bidding.” “Surprisingly, the Spirit of Corruption has been found in the Least Expected People. From top Ranks of Justice down through the channels of Law and Order. Their Souls were Sold to the Devil. Selling Out their Families, Friends and Nation for the Love of Money.” “Wow unto those who have Partaken of the Crumbs that have fallen from the Table of Sin. Blinded to Justice and having no Fear of the Law soon they shall experience the Wrath of We the People.'” It is Written: “For the Love of Money is a Root of all kinds of Evil, for which some have Strayed from the Faith in their greediness and pierced themselves through with many sorrows” (1 Timothy 6:10 NKJV).
