Children, this is the Last Hour. You have heard that an Anti-Messiah is coming; and in fact, many anti-Messiahs have arisen now — which is how we know that this is the Last Hour. 1 John 2:18 CJB
A couple of things the Lord Yeshua was showing me this morning, which this verse popped up in my mind and to look it up in the complete Jewish Bible to see how it is truly translated. And there was no surprise it said anti-Messiah and not anti-christ.
The verse of the day is also not a new one, which also did not surprise me, it is from James 1:5 “Now if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives to all generously and without reproach; and it will be given to him.”
Yesterday the Lord taught me using something similar with a person reaps what he sows. Having been the same as everyone else, born into the flesh and having to die unto it in order to obtain the things I have obtained in God. I understand now what the real order and way of God is because I seeked God and Kept seeking him (a message from a few days ago). Because it is not just about seeking and though shall find, it is not a one and done thing, it is a keep doing it over and over everyday of your life type thing. Seek the wisdom of God, and he will give it to you without reproach. In other words God is not biased in any way. He gives to all who seek his wisdom.
The problem is we make up our own minds about what is right and wrong and then try to justify it with other people’s opinions and maybe scripture, maybe past experience. But we do not look at how the past affects the future or what is happening in the world that is different today than yesterday and how it affects us.
For example, when I stop and look at technology and how advanced it is getting, it really is mind blowing. I have lived here in Mexico now 16 years, when I got here we had cell phones (and I remember when I got my first cell phone about 35 years ago when they first came out). The cell phone was only for calling, although the main brand down here was not a Iphone, it was a company named blackberry that no longer exists. The reason this particular phone was so popular is it had a keyboard and you could store messages. But it did not have the ability to call and do facetime, or send text messages, or watch youtube or TV. We now have in our hands a technology that is more powerful than what we had in the first computer I owned. And at a fraction of the cost. And yesterday I read about a new technology that speeds things up to 10,000 times faster than we have now, which will make the chips even smaller and more powerful. It will make robotics and AI better. The knowledge of man is ramping up significantly faster, just like the end of times prophecy from Daniel.
If we look back at what John wrote, he thought the end was coming in their generation, which brings two thoughts to mind. First is we get these ideas in our mind and let them live out in our life, when nothing is even happening. And God does not stop them, we have to seek him to find his truth and wisdom and then it stops or is confirmed. I have read many things over the years from people written 100 or 500 years ago, or like this from John written 2,000 years ago. The people are thinking this is the year of the end. And yet here we are over 2,000 years later and life goes on.
With that said we should not dismiss it as if it will not happen in our lifetime, because there are so many things which confirm it is close, the birthing pains have started it seems. But also we are to live for today, because today has its own problems, do not worry about tomorrow.
This is the one thing Yeshua keeps making a point of to me. He is the one who tells me what to do when I need to know and do it. His wisdom makes my whole life revolving around him work perfectly. Yes my life has problems, but those problems which seemed HUGE in my old life and days are now nothing, why the difference? Because of the wisdom and truth of God.
For example, money. Because I did what God showed me regarding money, we are in good shape. However if he took it all away, it does not worry me because we have no debt. And because we have no debt we really only need about $5,000 to maybe $10,000 per year to pay the bills, easy to make. We would have to give up a few things to get to this level, like a cleaning person, and private school for the kids. No traveling and no braces for the kids… But it is easily doable.
But here is the other side of it, the rich remain rich because of wisdom. We have it because of wisdom. As an example of this, a few years ago I was asking how I could invest the money to grow it and produce income as I did not see any options that made sense. At that time nothing made sense. However we sold a home and I found a few good options with cd or bond type investment. We locked up some money at an average of 15% interest in pesos. And two things have happened to make the money or investment look excellent, both things I knew would happen because again studying things and understanding what the rich know. And because of the wisdom of God.
Those two things are interest rates have come down, which drives bond prices up, however we would not want to liquidate these positions when making 15% paid monthly. And second the peso is gaining strength to the dollar, down from a 5 year high of around $20.50 and down from a 10 year high of almost $25. As we speak right now it is at $17.49. Depending on what you want to base this against either the $25 or the $20.50 we are looking at a 15 to 30% gain against the dollar. So now this money, two years later, is worth at least 45% more than when we invested because of 15% two years and the growth of the peso to the dollar of another 15%.
A second thing is about 5 years ago I put some money into silver, it is up almost 300% the last year and is already up over 30% year to date, and it is going to keep going for some time, not sure where and when to sell, but it is not done running yet. Most of mine was bought in the $20 dollar range, so it is up almost 500% since buying. I also knew this would happen because of the wisdom of God, and looking at what was going on in the world. Because this same technology spoke of earlier is driving it as technology needs silver, a lot of silver. And this is also why this run is not even close to over yet.
We also invested heavily in real estate over the past 15 years, which puts us back to around 2010 just after the big melt down of 2008. Most of our properties have more than doubled in value and the rental income off them has also gone up significantly. Again, the wisdom of God, and understanding how things work in this world.
Here is the other point the Lord made to me regarding all this. How we live, we do not go to a 9 to 5 job hoping they do not lay us off because of robots. Or like my sister in law who works for the US government, hoping they do not have to work again without pay because of a shutdown. Or running a business where we worry about the slow down in the economy and keeping our doors open. Yes our real estate business has all but died, but we have rental income and growth in investments so it does not matter. But as important is the lack of debt and debt payments. In the US many wealthy use debt to avoid income taxes. The tax structure in Mexico and the US is different. For example investment income is NOT taxed as ordinary income, the tax rate is almost zero, and if over 60 and Mexican national it is zero. We can sell properties and not pay any capital gains similar to the US with exemptions or things called terminacion de obra. It amazes the very little we have paid over the years in taxes with the amount of money we have made. And in legal ways. Most of the elite wealthy pay less than 1% in income taxes because of the way they (and me) make money.
A quick example of many. We sold a home we had lived in a few years ago. We bought the lot and built and had about $160,000 in it without a loan. We sold it a few years later for $323,000 or about double and paid zero taxes because of exemptions. $163,000 dollars tax free!!! We can actually sell a home for over $500,000 tax free with exemptions here in Mexico under current laws.
As I see more and more homeless people, and many more living with parents at home because they cannot afford to live apart. And I see the average age of first time home buyers now at 50ish. And many other things that are happening. I know the wisdom of God is truly important, knowing how to invest and where. Because the old fail safe government or corporate job is not so secure anymore. But understanding what the elites are doing with their money and following the lead is as secure as it gets. They are the ones creating the inflation and the devastation like the great depression and great recession, and every other downturn in the economy. They do it for them to capitalize on it. It takes more money out of most peoples’ pockets and puts it in the pockets of the elite. All I do is duplicate what they are doing.
One other thing that is happening at a seriously alarming rate is how the laws are changing for the worse and the growing problem. Yeshua spoke to me many times about this and showed it to me again today. Showing how California for example has turned their back on small theft so people can walk into a store and take whatever they want as long as the value is below $1,000 dollars. And how people can use drugs right in front of a cop and not go to jail, then most of these same people who need their fix and are not working, go into the stores, steal things, sell them for cheap and get their drugs, while destroying the economy and cities in CA.
The biggest point Yeshua made to me is how these small little petty crimes going unpunished are destroying the US and other cities in other parts of the world. It affected everyone, not just the locals. Then we call for more police or security which puts the power in the hands of a few who then abuse it. Down here in Baja I do not trust the police for my security. I do trust the Lord and where he puts me. And I love the fact that where we are building our escape home there are no police, they are not needed as the local community does not go out and get drunk, do drugs, or kill anyone. Nothing goes on in this place and most everyone is home by 8 PM.
This shows you that if the people have morality and live good clean lives, then you do not need anything else to rule over you. But when we come in and demand free stuff, then it creates a bigger government which also passes stupid laws to give us the free stuff and pretend to protect us, when they are normally the problem.
Back to the US drug problem, if trump really wanted to stop the drug problem, he would stop the end users, make them responsible and not the victim. They are not the victim, they are the problem. If there were seriously tough laws against using, the people using it would either stop or not even do it in the first place or be in jail. But either way the drug use would stop because who would be the buyer?
If the focus remains on the stopping of the cartel and other dealers, there will be a new one to step in and take over. You cannot stop it. So the question becomes, is trump really trying to stop it? Does he really think his ways are the best ways? He seems a lot smarter than that to me?
The other day I wrote on this in more detail and how or why heaven will be so perfect. Because the law (which is extremely important) will be written on our hearts, we won’t do anything wrong, not even the smallest details. If you practice religion and lawlessness because of it, then you won’t be in heaven. Pretty simple straight forward message.
So if you still are in sin, and believe the true God is OK with it. And you believe in “christianity” and that you are a follower of “christ” of course you remain in your sin. It makes you an anti-messiah. This is exactly what John was speaking of when he wrote this. Many people were worshiping a god who they thought was real and not knowing and obeying the Messiah, the Lord Yeshua. There are many reasons people choose to follow a religion instead of the Lord God, but the main ones are simply because they do not want to give up the power or control of their lives to anyone else. And they like their sinful life. At least for now until the problems come. I remember loving my life just before all hell broke loose. We traveled, we had nice boats, and went to the Iowa football and basketball games. And many other enjoyable things. Then it all unraveled and I hated my life, but that was what caused me to truly “keep seeking” the Lord who I knew as Jesus Christ and not Yeshua at the time.
All these things he has corrected me about, that it is not about things or enjoying life. It is about joy which is very different and basically the opposite. He corrected me about paying attention to the little things, because the little things end up being big things.
He reminded me this morning of the first time I went into a strip club and how embarrassed I felt. But then how years latter I could sleep around without any embarrassment at all. Going to a strip club to see some woman’s breasts is not a huge deal, but it leads to HUGE deals.
We must pay attention to the little things in life and stay away from them. It is a choice to stay away from them and not make them acceptable in your mind. They are not acceptable with God, he will tell you if you listen to him. He will write the laws on your heart if you let him. And then you will not sin. But again the problem is most people will not let him in their lives to do this, they prefer their “Jesus Christ” over the true son of God named Yeshua who is tough and demanding.
Again it is a choice, who are you going to obey? Man and yourself? Or Yeshua?
