Somewhat off topic but has anyone noticed how in the last 5 or so years, young women have been elected (or installed) as leaders of many countries in the western hemisphere? I wonder if that is because women are more easily controlled by the deep state and can be manipulated by their emotions more readily.
More off topic, has anyone noticed how young women's HAIRLINES ARE RECEDING? If you haven't noticed, check out young women at random. Look at their foreheads. There are two examples on this page (NZ PM) and the woman interviewed whose paycheck got lost in cyberspace. LARGE foreheads. That is a side effect of the highly toxic GARDASIL, the HPV "vaccine" which causes young and old women's hair to fall out! They made my daughter take this shot when she was in the 8th grade, 6 years ago, and her hair could be easily pulled out in TUFTS! Both the sink and shower in her bathroom clogged up several times after she got that shot. It's funny how nobody wanted to talk about that. Her mom (my ex) and my parents, (both liberals) fought me when I tried to make her exempt from this shot and I was outnumbered 4 to one. Thankfully, she inherited my hair which is thick and abundant and she isn't noticeably affected by it. My parents were so onboard with the gov't agenda that when my daughter was very young, they went to their dentist and got a prescription for FLUORIDE TABLETS because we use well water! Her mom wanted her to take them, had the prescription filled but I threw them in the trash. (I didn't marry well; did it too quickly and for all the wrong reasons, nearly 20 years ago now)
Finally, yes, something big IS coming. I am in daily contact with many like-minded Christians who are eagerly awaiting the return of Jesus Christ for His Church. (not the RCC or the Baptists or any other brick and mortar church building nor most of the people who attend them in this age)
He is coming for those who have sought the TRUTH and their honest seeking of the truth (outside of any sort of worldly media lies, propaganda or teaching) has led them to the BIBLE. Their hearts were open to the truth so they sought to understand God and He taught them through His Holy Spirit, the Truth of Jesus Christ and how He paid OUR sin debt on the Cross by shedding His Blood which is the Price for our freedom from sin and it's wages...eternal DEATH.
That big something is coming now with GREAT speed and I would be remiss as a believer if I did not spread this truth continually as long as I have breath in my lungs and my mouth and fingers still work, far and wide so that people who read my comments might decide to learn this truth for themselves. It is not too late yet, but He is so near that I may not be able to finish this com (I wish :)
I agree with all your assessments Jimd. 2023 looks to be definitve for a huge event and many other difficult events as well. Time will indeed tell. That satan has his hand in everything is self evident, at least to me. He and his followers are getting bolder by the day. What they will never understand is the resistance they will face by believers and by the freedom and liberty types across the world, some are the same, but both groups have to date, been mostly silent. I believe that will change very soon upon the major moves coming by satan and his henchmen.
But those with the Truth (Uppercase T) will soon be removed (1 Corinthians 15:51; 1 Thessalonians 4:16) in the long awaited Rapture of the church (the saved) and satan is counting on that. Imagine all of those willing to give testimony to Jesus Christ (several on this page alone) GONE from this world. There would be nobody to speak about Him at least for the first few weeks after the Rapture. Many will be saved by hearing their loved ones (who are now disappeared) telling of this event before it happened and they will organize underground. Why underground? Because after the Rapture, a man will arise with "answers" about everything that is going on but they will be LIES. He is the antichrist. He will quickly ban the Bible and those who believe in it, persecuting and killing those who come out and tell the world they were saved after having believed because of the Rapture. Then all hell will break loose as God pours out His WRATH on this earth (see Isaiah 24 and Revelation 8-10) BILLIONS WILL DIE. This may happen a couple years after the Rapture, it is not known when God will begin pouring out His Wrath but you do NOT want to be here for that! This is all TRUTH and it's about time those who have scoffed at it stop ridiculing it and check it out for themselves. It's not too late...still. But it could be too late any minute now.
Hi Jimd. I read your thread. May I suggest you read all of Mathew chapter 24. The rapture the elect are envisioning does not happen until Jesus comes on the clouds. The entire chapter is devoted to this issue, Jesus speaking directly to those who are believers. Rapture is never used in the Bible. It is spoken of in the versus you wrote about but Jesus clearly speaks about the fact that the elect will be present for the difficult times to come but will be shortened by God because of the elect's presence. I have extensively researched this. One cannot take versus in the Bible and apply them as one wishes. Read Chapter 24 of Mathew. It is definitive right from the mouth of Jesus. Many of my fellow believers have gotten their hopes up because of these versus you mentioned, but there is no context there, as there is in Chapter 24 of Mathew, spoken of directly by Jesus himself. Blessings to you.
PLEASE! Read and pay very close attention to what I write here. Go to your Bible and crosscheck verses and read this twice or three times. It is lengthy but it will help you to understand the truth. Please ask questions if you don't understand, I will be happy to answer them.
I also have researched this topic for the last 44 years and lately have been having to defend the Truth of it more as it approaches. I also continue to read, study and rightly divide as well as memorize whole chapters of Scripture. In a world of FAKE everything, there are also fake Christians which I am not. For the purpose of this message and not to boast, I am the real deal. I am completely sold out for Jesus Christ and He is the BIGGEST part of me. I find MORE evidence of the truth of the pretribulation Rapture the more I study, not less.
Using Matthew 24 as directly speaking to Christians is simply not rightly dividing Scripture. All of Scripture was written FOR us but not all was written TO us. You must make that distinction. Matthew 24 is speaking to the Jews in the days of the Time of Jacob's Trouble" or Great Tribulation.
Verse 14 says "the gospel of the kingdom" is preached before the end comes. In this age, we don't preach the gospel of the kingdom but we preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and Salvation. After the Rapture, preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the FREE GIFT not only won’t be necessary, but it will also be INACCURATE! It will no longer be free. Christians will have to do deeds (not take the mark, lose their heads, etc.) that’s why the “Tribulation saints” (those who were saved AFTER the Rapture) are describe as having “washed their own robes and made them white (Revelation 7:14) whereas the Christians who were Raptured, i.e. saved before the tribulation period, their robes were washed by Jesus Himself. I don't suppose that you were aware that there is more than one Gospel in the Bible.
Verse 15 of Matthew clearly says that those who see the "abomination of desolation" standing in the Holy Place. This happens DURING the tribulation, near the end of it. In Verse 16 He warns those who are in JUDAEA to flee into the mountains - clearly speaking to the Jews. Verse 22 says that the times [of tribulation] would be shortened for the ELECT's sake. The elect are the Jews who are called God's elect throughout Scripture. (we Christians are also called the elect but context dictates which group is being addressed)
Verse 29 speaks of the end of the tribulation which Jesus just described above. Many people, even well intentioned Christians have come out to criticize the soon "catching away of the saints" but the fact remains. The TRUTH cannot be altered.
There are TWO comings of Christ in the Bible, the first time to take His Bride (all saved by His Blood) and the second time WITH His Bride, all on white horses to fight the battle of Armageddon. I have shown enough evidence from Matthew 24 to show the distinction of the return of Jesus, the Bible is REPLETE with evidence for the pretribulation Rapture of the church. "Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be over past. Isaiah 26:20 and there are so many more. It's up to every Christian to learn Bible truth for themselves.
You're claim that "Rapture" is not found in the Bible is wrong. The word BIBLE is not found in the Bible but that doesn't mean it's non-existent. The word is taken from the Greek translation of the verb “caught up”, rapturo, that’s found in 1 Thessalonians 4:17 and that is where it comes from.
Finally, your statement, "One cannot take versus (SIC) in the Bible and apply them as one wishes" in this case may be applied to anyone that denies the most important event in the history of mankind outside of the first coming of Jesus Christ to this earth and His Atonement which He gave us as a free gift. I am also becoming less patient with those who proclaim that the Rapture doesn't exist because of their error in hermeneutics and ignorance of the truth but I am not glorified yet.
That is going to happen at any minute now and if you are truly saved by the Shed Blood of Jesus Christ, I'll explain it to you on the way up (but I don't think it will be necessary at that time). What you do when you wrongly profess your novice interpretation of Scripture is attempt to take away the Christian's BLESSED HOPE. Titus 2:13 And that's just not nice.
"For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words. 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 But we are coming back on white horses so what then, does He give us our horses at that time and we turn directly around and come back? That's what must happen if there is only one return of Christ at the end of the tribulation. Think about it.
"Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed." 1 Corinthians 15:51-52
Hello Jimd. I understand your zeal for "your position", but I just do not share that with you. I do not recall Jesus Christ coming on the clouds for the Jews at the time you are expousing, the "Time of Jacobs Trouble". Jesus said in Mathew 24 that the difficult times he is speaking of ARE just before he returns on the clouds and has never been seen before since the beginning. I read scripture with a keen eye, one that exists as Jesus said, not with an eye to see what I wish. I believe you do not understand the depth of my own belief in Jesus Christ. That is ok, it is not required for anyone else to do so. My belief in Jesus Christ is enough for me. My reading of Mathew 24 is solid. We will just have to disagree. Your belief system regarding this matter will not prevent you from being taken to heaven by Jesus and gathered by his angels. anymore than my own. One last thing, the Bible is never mentioned as the Bible in the Scriptures, it only came to be known as the Bible after the Council of Nicea at around 365 AD, give or take, which would explain why the Bible is not mentioned in scripture. Scripture is a group of letters and accounts since the time of Moses and forward. Rapture is a modern day wish by people who want to make the elect feel better about the future, but all of the versus you mentioned are talking about when Jesus Christ takes the elect to be with him in heaven, and that is easily understood. Making it out to be before the difficult times, before Jesus returns is just not written in the scriptures. Thank you for your letting me know that my understanding is not as great as your 44 years of belief. My own belief is for 60 years, since childhood and I am pleased to be a believer in Jesus Christ and do not profess to be an expert in all things of the Scriptures, but like you have a long history of reading scripture and the Holy Spirit helps me to discern the truth as well. Fortunately for us both, our discussion means little in the end, as all believers will be taken up by Jesus Christ by the angels and Jesus Christ himself, regardless of when we decide it will be. Mathew 24 explains that quite well, as I said, right from the mouth of Jesus Christ, .
The first Council of Nicea was instituted by Emperor Constantine 1 who basically joined sides with Christians declaring Rome to be a "Christian" state and he was never credited with "naming" the Bible. Nobody knows for certain where the name came from but it is believed to have originated in the Greek city Biblos.
Your only attempt to assert a knowledge of history claiming the Bible was named at the Council of Nicea is patently wrong. But it is not good for a Christian to strive (I am lending doctrinal correction here) with another so I will finish this by simply concluding that you didn't read my message. I have no option but to believe any other reason because to continue to deny what our Apostle Paul CLEARLY stated (and I left the verses for you) must mean that you have also denied others who have attempted to get you to see this most important truth.
You are doing a disservice to the cause of Christ and this is not a matter upon which we can "agree to disagree" even though I used to hold that position about this contention. The only people that I have known over the years who claimed to be Christian yet denied the pretribulation Rapture of the church have either been severely backslidden or just have never been truly saved (which no man can know). I'm not judging your status before God, that is His job but this is what I have seen in my years of contending with those like yourself.
The only viable reason to deny this truth is for the reason that the denier is not ready to meet Jesus Christ and wants to have ample warning (like living through the tribulation) and is very uncomfortable with an imminent Rapture i.e. seeing the Lord SUDDENLY so they "wish" that the verses were not there (as you have accused me of "wishing" non truths into Scripture).
I have examined myself 100% in this matter and I know where I stand. I suggest you do the same, considering every vantage point of your a.) declaration of incorrect doctrine and b.) your inability to see (and to give explanation for your view) the truth of the obvious pretribulational Rapture of the church in the context of Bible prophecy being woven throughout the Scriptures in types and shadows lending further support of its efficacy.
I have already prayed that your eyes be open to this most important truth and that you stop trying to steal the joy from my brothers and sisters who see this as the Blessed Hope that it is rightly called. Paul did not say "and after you suffer through the pole shift and asteroid impacts and famine and nuclear war, the WRATH of God, comfort one another with these words."
I assume most of you are aware big pharma is starting to use mRNA technology in animal vaccines, this will introduce mRNA technology into the food supply. Yesterday I wrote my state representatives and asked them to sponsor legislation requiring any product sold in our state, that has been exposed to mRNA technology, be identified. Yesterday afternoon I received a positive reply from one of my representatives.
I suggest, no matter where you live, everyone reach out to your government(s) and request the same. Big pharma's tentacles are too many to get mRNA out of the drugs but getting products that contain mRNA identified is a winnable effort.
When they are against the ropes, that's the time to beat them down!
From what I understand about the MRNA technology is it is very unstable and must be kept at or close to 220 degrees Kelvin (-63.3 F). I have heard the same claim that our food supply would be given this mRNA "vaccine" but I conclude that it is just fear porn. If they could get their technology (whatever it is and whatever purpose it serves) into us by such remote means, why, then would they be pushing their clot shot so heavily?
The fact is that they can do whatever they want, to anything they choose and we can either worry about everything or worry about NOTHING. I choose the latter because I know how this ends.
Also, I'm all in favor of contacting your local representatives (and they may be honest people, wanting what is right) but if they could do anything, don't' you think that they would have banned the clot shot by now? There is something nefarious going on here. We are encumbered by an EVIL force which has taken over the world governments and it wants 7 billion of us DEAD. So far, they are winning. See my previous comment above.
I agree with your take on motivations et al, but not everyone, I hope 😎, is corrupted. As for the technology, much of that is above my pay-grade. If the stability of the product is such, doesn't that mean once it is put in a 98.6 +/- degree container, it becomes ineffective; thus what's the point?
It might be a meaningless effort but I prefer erring on the side of caution.
I'm telling you wonderful folk all the crumbling is falling into the perfectly preformed apocalyptic molds the Bible so accurately prophesied more than 2000 yrs ago. It's going to get real ugly..........for many people.
If you knew someone whom you liked and agreed with most of the time and you knew something that they didn't, let's say that you had information that the airplane they were about to board was definitely going to crash and burn, would you tell them?
Suppose you had told some of the other passengers the same but they scoffed at you and boarded despite your warnings.
Suppose that you knew that a man who was on this plane carried 10 pounds of plastic explosives - enough to blow 10 planes out of the sky - and an undetectable detonator on board. You knew this person who informed you beforehand that he intended to end his life and everyone else's on this flight but everyone that you warned about this didn't believe you and NEVER EVEN CHECKED FOR THEMSELVES whether what you said is true.
Even the pilots were informed by you but they just laughed and looked the other way. You stood at the gate warning the last few strangers boarding the plane. You did this because you care about other people and didn't want anyone to be harmed but they either ignored you or criticized you, calling you derogatory and often profane names.
There will be others, Manuel, but not many in fact, the world will be shocked when it sees how many were left behind at the Rapture. They will believe the lie (already prepared) because of this and that lie is that we had been ABDUCTED by the Pleiadians or the Zeta Reticuli or some other band of star travelers. We were NOT! What happened is explained in 1 Corinthians 15:51 and 1 Thessalonians 4:16.
Most people in this age, even Christians are reluctant to tell the truth about this to others, the truth is, unless you KNOW that you are saved by the Blood of Jesus Christ you are NOT saved at all. Saved from what? Jesus said we are saved from the wages of our sins which is DEATH. But He didn't speak of the death of our bodies which had happened to all of your distant relatives and mine but the ETERNAL DEATH in a lake burning with fire and brimstone where there is NO HOPE of escape...EVER. Consciousness of pain forever and ever – a very frightening scenario indeed.
I have been warning people for decades but NEVER like I have been recently. My own dad denies Jesus Christ (i.e. that He was God and rose from death after the Crucifixion) and although my mom was Catholic, she picked and chose what she wanted to believe from their rules, e.g. she believed a woman had a CHOICE to murder their unborn child in their wombs and she was pro-sodomy, even respecting and condoning those who were homosexual, possessing a weird kind of fascination with them just like those liberals attending "drag queen story hour" at public libraries now a days.
She never checked out the Bible for herself although my brother, sister-in-law and I talked with her countless times over the years about Jesus. She passed last year about this time just a few weeks after getting the second "booster". She was healthy at 85 although stricken with arthritis, she was sharp and able to care for herself. She, like so many others who took this so-called vaccine contracted a UTI then Sepsis and it was over for her in just over one month. I can only hope that she answered Jesus' "last call" (if He gives such a thing) to her on her deathbed in hospice. The alternative is too difficult to think about.
For that and other reasons, I warn people to learn the truth simply by READING the book of Romans in the New Testament which tells us all about Jesus and how He IMPUTED His Own Righteousness upon any who would seek to understand this and BELIEVE.
This is a proving ground of sorts. We are here for a short time (relative to eternity, what’s 80 years if that?) and what we do here determines where we will spend eternity. Don’t confuse that with doing “good works” because we are not saved by works but by the shed Blood of Jesus Christ. We can add NOTHING to the utterly FREE gift God gave us. It isn’t a matter of how many good deeds we did, it’s a question of BELIEF. Did we believe what we were told about this and did we investigate or simply believe someone else's worldview?
It takes courage to say all of this on a public forum, that's why most people don't. I tell everyone who will listen, especially now since time is so short. You have been very patient allowing my comments on your substack even though you may not believe what I am saying.
All I ask of anyone is the same that I asked my parents: LOOK at this for yourself. If you agree, you'll call out to God and He will save you. If you disagree, (I suggest you keep looking until you do) put down the book, you have lost nothing! (yet) The fact is that you really have nothing to lose by looking and you have absolutely EVERYTHING to gain. You will gain eternal life with God and all believers in a place of indescribable beauty and you will inherit ALL THINGS, Revelation 21:7
Sometimes the revolving door of political buffoonery puts an even worse buffoon in power. Gov CuHomo resigns, Tranny-Joker Hochul is installed. I guess Arden misses her 25 people orgies?
Tyranny Joker, that's a great comparison 👍. I like to say Maxine waters is like Trickster from that movie with Eddie furlong, and Lightfoot is an Aye aye. But I don't want to insult the Aye Ayes of the world.
This is weird... I think substack pushes the use of their APP. Here is step-by-step way to open the newsletter and look at it on the web. This way you should be able to open and watch the videos... https://strangesounds.substack.com/p/to-you-readers-who-cannot-read-the... Thanks, Manuel
You might have to get the substack app, or look back on older posts and he gives you a play by play of what you can do to view the videos. It happend to me like a week ago, got the app and works fine. I was just going to strangesounds.com. app seems better.
In January 2022, The Annual Report for the previous year of 2021, was published by The Life Insurance Adjusters. It stated never before in Human History had there been so much Death : a 40% increase! The Report stated it was NOT caused by Disease! The Report stated that it was of an unusual age 16 to 65 of the Workforce Age Group! ( The ONLY thing they stated was 'No longer would they be paying out for Vaccine Related Deaths.')
Since 2008 since the last financial crises, Pluto has been in the sign of Capricorn--government finances, control, power, nefarious deeds, crimes against humanity. It will be entering Aquarius on March 23rd. But first it will only dip into the first degrees, then it will go back into Capricorn, go forward, backwards and then forward for the long haul of 20 plus years. It has to clean out the shadows, bringing out the pussy cancer of government and shine a collective light on the evil monsters sitting on the throne. The transition will take about 2 or 3 or more years. More and more people are waking up, We the People, need to get stronger, healthy, self-empowered and cultivate our compassion for each other, connect our common needs, goals, hopes, visions for liberty, freedom, Truth and good government--the Aquarius ideals. Outer planets that take years to orbit the Sun, when they move signs, bring major upheavals. It is here and we need to prepare!
I think it's normal business. Our Luciferian overlords have been doing management changes for generations. The next tyrant is in the bullpen right now warming up. Bet.
Something huge is coming though. In fact, it's already started.
With these coincidences , I agree. Something is up.
I agree. He is their game plan

Isaiah 26:20 and there are so many more. It's up to every Christian to learn Bible truth for themselves.
You're claim that "Rapture" is not found in the Bible is wrong. The word BIBLE is not found in the Bible but that doesn't mean it's non-existent. The word is taken from the Greek translation of the verb “caught up”, rapturo, that’s found in 1 Thessalonians 4:17 and that is where it comes from.
Finally, your statement, "One cannot take versus (SIC) in the Bible and apply them as one wishes" in this case may be applied to anyone that denies the most important event in the history of mankind outside of the first coming of Jesus Christ to this earth and His Atonement which He gave us as a free gift. I am also becoming less patient with those who proclaim that the Rapture doesn't exist because of their error in hermeneutics and ignorance of the truth but I am not glorified yet.
That is going to happen at any minute now and if you are truly saved by the Shed Blood of Jesus Christ, I'll explain it to you on the way up (but I don't think it will be necessary at that time). What you do when you wrongly profess your novice interpretation of Scripture is attempt to take away the Christian's BLESSED HOPE. Titus 2:13 And that's just not nice.
"For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words. 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 But we are coming back on white horses so what then, does He give us our horses at that time and we turn directly around and come back? That's what must happen if there is only one return of Christ at the end of the tribulation. Think about it.
"Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed." 1 Corinthians 15:51-52
Hello Jimd. I understand your zeal for "your position", but I just do not share that with you. I do not recall Jesus Christ coming on the clouds for the Jews at the time you are expousing, the "Time of Jacobs Trouble". Jesus said in Mathew 24 that the difficult times he is speaking of ARE just before he returns on the clouds and has never been seen before since the beginning. I read scripture with a keen eye, one that exists as Jesus said, not with an eye to see what I wish. I believe you do not understand the depth of my own belief in Jesus Christ. That is ok, it is not required for anyone else to do so. My belief in Jesus Christ is enough for me. My reading of Mathew 24 is solid. We will just have to disagree. Your belief system regarding this matter will not prevent you from being taken to heaven by Jesus and gathered by his angels. anymore than my own. One last thing, the Bible is never mentioned as the Bible in the Scriptures, it only came to be known as the Bible after the Council of Nicea at around 365 AD, give or take, which would explain why the Bible is not mentioned in scripture. Scripture is a group of letters and accounts since the time of Moses and forward. Rapture is a modern day wish by people who want to make the elect feel better about the future, but all of the versus you mentioned are talking about when Jesus Christ takes the elect to be with him in heaven, and that is easily understood. Making it out to be before the difficult times, before Jesus returns is just not written in the scriptures. Thank you for your letting me know that my understanding is not as great as your 44 years of belief. My own belief is for 60 years, since childhood and I am pleased to be a believer in Jesus Christ and do not profess to be an expert in all things of the Scriptures, but like you have a long history of reading scripture and the Holy Spirit helps me to discern the truth as well. Fortunately for us both, our discussion means little in the end, as all believers will be taken up by Jesus Christ by the angels and Jesus Christ himself, regardless of when we decide it will be. Mathew 24 explains that quite well, as I said, right from the mouth of Jesus Christ, .
Just watch the clouds - remember the movie don’t look up - I believe we are daily being radiated by chemtrails
The first Council of Nicea was instituted by Emperor Constantine 1 who basically joined sides with Christians declaring Rome to be a "Christian" state and he was never credited with "naming" the Bible. Nobody knows for certain where the name came from but it is believed to have originated in the Greek city Biblos.
Your only attempt to assert a knowledge of history claiming the Bible was named at the Council of Nicea is patently wrong. But it is not good for a Christian to strive (I am lending doctrinal correction here) with another so I will finish this by simply concluding that you didn't read my message. I have no option but to believe any other reason because to continue to deny what our Apostle Paul CLEARLY stated (and I left the verses for you) must mean that you have also denied others who have attempted to get you to see this most important truth.
You are doing a disservice to the cause of Christ and this is not a matter upon which we can "agree to disagree" even though I used to hold that position about this contention. The only people that I have known over the years who claimed to be Christian yet denied the pretribulation Rapture of the church have either been severely backslidden or just have never been truly saved (which no man can know). I'm not judging your status before God, that is His job but this is what I have seen in my years of contending with those like yourself.
The only viable reason to deny this truth is for the reason that the denier is not ready to meet Jesus Christ and wants to have ample warning (like living through the tribulation) and is very uncomfortable with an imminent Rapture i.e. seeing the Lord SUDDENLY so they "wish" that the verses were not there (as you have accused me of "wishing" non truths into Scripture).
I have examined myself 100% in this matter and I know where I stand. I suggest you do the same, considering every vantage point of your a.) declaration of incorrect doctrine and b.) your inability to see (and to give explanation for your view) the truth of the obvious pretribulational Rapture of the church in the context of Bible prophecy being woven throughout the Scriptures in types and shadows lending further support of its efficacy.
I have already prayed that your eyes be open to this most important truth and that you stop trying to steal the joy from my brothers and sisters who see this as the Blessed Hope that it is rightly called. Paul did not say "and after you suffer through the pole shift and asteroid impacts and famine and nuclear war, the WRATH of God, comfort one another with these words."
I’m reading a book on the CIA mind control.
It states, go after the woman, because they are emotionally driven and men will follow to keep the peace.
So well stated .

How about Big Mike? Runner up?
I assume most of you are aware big pharma is starting to use mRNA technology in animal vaccines, this will introduce mRNA technology into the food supply. Yesterday I wrote my state representatives and asked them to sponsor legislation requiring any product sold in our state, that has been exposed to mRNA technology, be identified. Yesterday afternoon I received a positive reply from one of my representatives.
I suggest, no matter where you live, everyone reach out to your government(s) and request the same. Big pharma's tentacles are too many to get mRNA out of the drugs but getting products that contain mRNA identified is a winnable effort.
When they are against the ropes, that's the time to beat them down!
From what I understand about the MRNA technology is it is very unstable and must be kept at or close to 220 degrees Kelvin (-63.3 F). I have heard the same claim that our food supply would be given this mRNA "vaccine" but I conclude that it is just fear porn. If they could get their technology (whatever it is and whatever purpose it serves) into us by such remote means, why, then would they be pushing their clot shot so heavily?
The fact is that they can do whatever they want, to anything they choose and we can either worry about everything or worry about NOTHING. I choose the latter because I know how this ends.
Also, I'm all in favor of contacting your local representatives (and they may be honest people, wanting what is right) but if they could do anything, don't' you think that they would have banned the clot shot by now? There is something nefarious going on here. We are encumbered by an EVIL force which has taken over the world governments and it wants 7 billion of us DEAD. So far, they are winning. See my previous comment above.
I agree with your take on motivations et al, but not everyone, I hope 😎, is corrupted. As for the technology, much of that is above my pay-grade. If the stability of the product is such, doesn't that mean once it is put in a 98.6 +/- degree container, it becomes ineffective; thus what's the point?
It might be a meaningless effort but I prefer erring on the side of caution.
I'm telling you wonderful folk all the crumbling is falling into the perfectly preformed apocalyptic molds the Bible so accurately prophesied more than 2000 yrs ago. It's going to get real ugly..........for many people.
I hope we will be the many others...
If you knew someone whom you liked and agreed with most of the time and you knew something that they didn't, let's say that you had information that the airplane they were about to board was definitely going to crash and burn, would you tell them?
Suppose you had told some of the other passengers the same but they scoffed at you and boarded despite your warnings.
Suppose that you knew that a man who was on this plane carried 10 pounds of plastic explosives - enough to blow 10 planes out of the sky - and an undetectable detonator on board. You knew this person who informed you beforehand that he intended to end his life and everyone else's on this flight but everyone that you warned about this didn't believe you and NEVER EVEN CHECKED FOR THEMSELVES whether what you said is true.
Even the pilots were informed by you but they just laughed and looked the other way. You stood at the gate warning the last few strangers boarding the plane. You did this because you care about other people and didn't want anyone to be harmed but they either ignored you or criticized you, calling you derogatory and often profane names.
There will be others, Manuel, but not many in fact, the world will be shocked when it sees how many were left behind at the Rapture. They will believe the lie (already prepared) because of this and that lie is that we had been ABDUCTED by the Pleiadians or the Zeta Reticuli or some other band of star travelers. We were NOT! What happened is explained in 1 Corinthians 15:51 and 1 Thessalonians 4:16.
Most people in this age, even Christians are reluctant to tell the truth about this to others, the truth is, unless you KNOW that you are saved by the Blood of Jesus Christ you are NOT saved at all. Saved from what? Jesus said we are saved from the wages of our sins which is DEATH. But He didn't speak of the death of our bodies which had happened to all of your distant relatives and mine but the ETERNAL DEATH in a lake burning with fire and brimstone where there is NO HOPE of escape...EVER. Consciousness of pain forever and ever – a very frightening scenario indeed.
I have been warning people for decades but NEVER like I have been recently. My own dad denies Jesus Christ (i.e. that He was God and rose from death after the Crucifixion) and although my mom was Catholic, she picked and chose what she wanted to believe from their rules, e.g. she believed a woman had a CHOICE to murder their unborn child in their wombs and she was pro-sodomy, even respecting and condoning those who were homosexual, possessing a weird kind of fascination with them just like those liberals attending "drag queen story hour" at public libraries now a days.
She never checked out the Bible for herself although my brother, sister-in-law and I talked with her countless times over the years about Jesus. She passed last year about this time just a few weeks after getting the second "booster". She was healthy at 85 although stricken with arthritis, she was sharp and able to care for herself. She, like so many others who took this so-called vaccine contracted a UTI then Sepsis and it was over for her in just over one month. I can only hope that she answered Jesus' "last call" (if He gives such a thing) to her on her deathbed in hospice. The alternative is too difficult to think about.
For that and other reasons, I warn people to learn the truth simply by READING the book of Romans in the New Testament which tells us all about Jesus and how He IMPUTED His Own Righteousness upon any who would seek to understand this and BELIEVE.
This is a proving ground of sorts. We are here for a short time (relative to eternity, what’s 80 years if that?) and what we do here determines where we will spend eternity. Don’t confuse that with doing “good works” because we are not saved by works but by the shed Blood of Jesus Christ. We can add NOTHING to the utterly FREE gift God gave us. It isn’t a matter of how many good deeds we did, it’s a question of BELIEF. Did we believe what we were told about this and did we investigate or simply believe someone else's worldview?
It takes courage to say all of this on a public forum, that's why most people don't. I tell everyone who will listen, especially now since time is so short. You have been very patient allowing my comments on your substack even though you may not believe what I am saying.
All I ask of anyone is the same that I asked my parents: LOOK at this for yourself. If you agree, you'll call out to God and He will save you. If you disagree, (I suggest you keep looking until you do) put down the book, you have lost nothing! (yet) The fact is that you really have nothing to lose by looking and you have absolutely EVERYTHING to gain. You will gain eternal life with God and all believers in a place of indescribable beauty and you will inherit ALL THINGS, Revelation 21:7
Sometimes the revolving door of political buffoonery puts an even worse buffoon in power. Gov CuHomo resigns, Tranny-Joker Hochul is installed. I guess Arden misses her 25 people orgies?
Tyranny Joker, that's a great comparison 👍. I like to say Maxine waters is like Trickster from that movie with Eddie furlong, and Lightfoot is an Aye aye. But I don't want to insult the Aye Ayes of the world.
good one
I say huge and expected ... kudos.
Yes

I enjoy your product. For the last several days now the videos you send no longer load. It could be AT&T and Yahoo, through which my email arrives.
This is weird... I think substack pushes the use of their APP. Here is step-by-step way to open the newsletter and look at it on the web. This way you should be able to open and watch the videos... https://strangesounds.substack.com/p/to-you-readers-who-cannot-read-the... Thanks, Manuel
You might have to get the substack app, or look back on older posts and he gives you a play by play of what you can do to view the videos. It happend to me like a week ago, got the app and works fine. I was just going to strangesounds.com. app seems better.
Thanks... strangesounds.org... :-)
I feel like you'll need to do this more in the future. Lol. Darn it.
In January 2022, The Annual Report for the previous year of 2021, was published by The Life Insurance Adjusters. It stated never before in Human History had there been so much Death : a 40% increase! The Report stated it was NOT caused by Disease! The Report stated that it was of an unusual age 16 to 65 of the Workforce Age Group! ( The ONLY thing they stated was 'No longer would they be paying out for Vaccine Related Deaths.')

Since 2008 since the last financial crises, Pluto has been in the sign of Capricorn--government finances, control, power, nefarious deeds, crimes against humanity. It will be entering Aquarius on March 23rd. But first it will only dip into the first degrees, then it will go back into Capricorn, go forward, backwards and then forward for the long haul of 20 plus years. It has to clean out the shadows, bringing out the pussy cancer of government and shine a collective light on the evil monsters sitting on the throne. The transition will take about 2 or 3 or more years. More and more people are waking up, We the People, need to get stronger, healthy, self-empowered and cultivate our compassion for each other, connect our common needs, goals, hopes, visions for liberty, freedom, Truth and good government--the Aquarius ideals. Outer planets that take years to orbit the Sun, when they move signs, bring major upheavals. It is here and we need to prepare!
Yes she outright says it is suspicious she does not want to go let’s just be clear
I think it's normal business. Our Luciferian overlords have been doing management changes for generations. The next tyrant is in the bullpen right now warming up. Bet.
Something huge is coming though. In fact, it's already started.

Bank of America announcement is concerning. They went public with it sooner than I thought they would.
