Please note: This is not a legalistic message. I’m not saying Christians can never watch TV. Yet, we can’t fall prey to the message today’s entertainment often tries to sell us. We should also listen to the Holy Spirit and be led by Him when choosing what to watch and what not to. 😊
Troy, i want to ask if you would pray and ask God prophetic word, (if it is Gods will) , on Plum Island. I know you will look it up yourself and u will pray and ask the will of God. This Island upsets all. But if its not in God's will to give anything about this place. I accept Gods will.
I watch 2 family friendly home remodeling shows each week, if they are not reruns, and sermons. Other than that, there is no television for me. We have to be so careful watching and also listening to music. Trash in, trash out.
We quit Peppa Pig once a sam sex couple was portrayed. Funny enough at the same time, my little girl just decided she was completley done with Peppa. I never had to "take it away" from her.
Divorcing myself from tv is the best thing i’ve done. I can go days without tv. News programs are mostly rumor and gossip. I can better control what i let in via streaming.
There is a really good documentary on RUclips called “History of Our Mind Control” from a channel called The Truth Unedited. It’s all about the history of TV being used to control us.
There is no law anywhere that says that the news cannot manufacturee a lie and tell it to the world like it is the truth. And there is no law that says that the news corporations cannot accept money to tell the world someone else' lies. In 2020 alone, the Australian govt granted $AU440Milion in 100% tax rebates to news outlets for repeating the govt's co\/ld propaganda.
I babysit for a lovely Palestinian muslim family, the mother does not let her baby watch TV shows that are secular and even cartoons. It's sad that they're muslim, but the mom does it mostly for psychological reasons (she is a psychologist) so her daughter is not overstimulated. If she can do this, why don't we as Christians?
There are many things that I don't give my child access to watch. It's very doable when you don't have cable or satellite, and everything you watch, you watch on purpose.
God helped me break away from my addiction to video games. I was going through one of my depressive episodes and came to a point where I couldn't find enjoyment in video games. It's been a year and I've come through the depression and still have no desire to go back to video games or watching TV. God has answered my prayers and I have drawn closer to him. I know if anyone who seeks to build their relationship with God, he will provide opportunities for you to grow.
My daughter is litteraly watching peppa pig when this came across my feed. She doesnt watch it often so this is just interesting how these things happen.
This is so related to a dream the Lord gave me this past winter. It was related to pigs also. It had a southern twist to it, and two different scenarios. In both a man came up behind me, whom I couldn't see and said do not be deceived, not everything is as it seems.
Its so true and this message is much bigger than bossy, rude Peppa Pig. All the shows we see on the platforms of big 'providers' are there to shape minds and hearts of ALL ages.
@@LikaHartzenberg-rh3vd same here ! I feel like it's all deliberate to be defiant to our own God. I'am glad it didn't work (outside of the loss of human life) becouse their plan was to harvest pigs specifically to make this procedure common practice. Imagine the heart of an animal ams one God considers unclean at that 😬😬😬
@LikaHartzenberg-rh3vd with your comment n above....its as clear to me now.....1 above is the world..@ your comment 2nd ...answer would b to pray n ask God for a new heart....so thankyou both.....I've never seen it clearer.
Pig heart transplant has been common as a temporary measure for many years. Supposed to get human heart ASAP after pig transplant is done. It seems that there would be a shortage of human at this time due to the ouchie being forced on some and heart damage that resulted. I retired nursing partially due to ouchie being mandated. Many of my younger friends now have heart damage😢.
FYI, if you’re sending your children to public school, they are teaching them what’s called diversity equity and inclusion. Beware that those vague terms mean everything that’s going on in the alphabet community. I had to pull my son out of school for the first grade and up he was in kindergarten at the time and I didn’t have a way to send him to private Academy so anyway first day of school I went because it was kindergarten and they said they read them a book do you feel like a boy or do you feel like a girl? He was encouraged to use any bathroom and I also noticed in the school that there was a bathroom, that had some kind of symbol outside the door. They also had the symbol big flag the flag underneath the stairs. I’m assuming parents complained or something but they started to hide it short and said I said you’re planting a seed this is against my religious my civil rights and I was told you know this is School and I said and you know I pay taxes and heartbreaking when I see the innocent children being manipulated to it it’s just it’s just not right it’s just not I never cried so much but God God hears our prayers. I was able to send my son to an Academy with the help of his dad, the Lord and his dad together, please protect their children. Please please protect our children please please😢😢
THANK U FOE THIS CONFIRMATION. My daughter must go to GR1 next year. Iv been rolling around at night cos i hear things you said hear and there. My friend is homeschooling her child. After what YOU just said in your comment , I hav my confirmation now. i must just pull finger and homeschool my child and it must become one of my main priorities. I thank u❤
My daughter homeschooled her babes for a few years and they were very advanced compared to public school students when testing to join public school. My BabyGirl is now the algebra and geometry teacher at school for high school students. My first Grand, Her oldest daughter was accepted into the Arkansas Math and Science school, a very prestigious private school! You can do it!! Pray for wisdom and He will give it freely!! ❤❤❤
I home school my daughter and it is very hard but oh so necessary their is so much our children have to be aware of and yes we do need to protect them they are the future and right now their future looks very sad
this is the most intricate visual picture I have ever heard of in a vision, the Lord is so interesting who can decipher his message? so he speaks to us in dreams
I've been without TV for 10years. Except for at work where it plays " children's programming" 24/7. I work pediatric rehab. Kids TV is frightening, now. I don't miss TV at all and tend to ignore it when someone has it on.
Thanks for your message Troy, it took me awhile to understand that we live through His grace through what He does for us not what we do to try and please Him. A great reminder!
I stopped watching tv 26 yrs ago. There was an abundance of programs that I wasn’t interested in. I know RUclips has wuite a variety of different venues. To be honest there folks here like yourself that share content that’s helpful as well as scriptural and these are my faves. I do enjoy do enjoy documentaries which includes Biblical as well animal in the wild plus history. God does provide everything for us; I am grateful. Thank you for your videos. I was married to a a Christian man for almost 44 years. He passed away due to cancer. His best friend shared a love for Biblical history; The both were Eskitologists. I miss him a lot however his friend and I talk on the phone several times a month and of course we talk about what happening in the world and how it relates to scripture.
Troy thank you for always bringing this reminder in your videos, love by faith, and don’t forget your first love! I’ve been asking god to set me up with my daughter who has tried everything but follow god to cure her depression and anxiety and she can’t shake it now matter what she tried and he laid the perfect groundwork for me to tell her of gods love and that she wasn’t meant to carry it all herself, bless you! And thank you for letting god work thru you to reach me
When you say Troy that some of us do not know GOD, you are correct. I only know the LORD JESUS FROM HIS WORD ONLY. I have been told you must be still to hear that still small voice. Troy, I pray. Please pray for me to the LORD JESUS. I LOVE THE LORD SO SO MUCH, I NEED HELP TO HEAR HIM AND THE HOLY SPIRIT. I will never give up on him, ever. Sincerely, A sister in CHRIST. 🙏🕊
Mr Troy please don't ever let people discourage you from speaking God's message. I know you are familiar with how Jesus's own people never believed Him when He was walking on this earth!! Don't stop or be discouraged, God is changing lives through you. Glory to God!!
@@olinkalupu-vieru4140 What I mean is; A person can't live in habitual sin and count on " grace" to bail him out! God is wanting us to live like Christ lived. That's why we are refered to as Christians( little Christs). The scriptures tell us that Jesus was " emptied out, made lower than the angels" , so that HE could live a life that pleased THE FATHER. Jesus was like us, 100 percent human, because HE left HIS divinity back in heaven. So now, we have no excuse thinking it was unfair. Jesus is our GOD now, because HE fulfilled HIS mission here. So now we can't really live anyway we want because we are without excuse. Thank GOD we have an advocate with THE FATHER, the man JESUS CHRIST who can understand what it is to be fully human.
Yes, Jesus called us to repent but He didn't say keep the 10 commandments. Jesus death on the cross was the sacrifice that freed us from a standard that man couldn't live up to. "Jesus" only gave 2 commandments which will take care of all of the others. Matt 22:37-38 “Jesus replied: 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. ' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbour as yourself.
@@arethahutchins6260 Yes, Jesus did say repent, but He also said" if you will keep my commandments( only the 10), then My FATHER and I will come in you and lead you to all truth" We can keep the 10 commandments, but we can't love God with ALL our hearts and love our neighbors as ourselves. I can go all my life without killing a man, I can go without committing adultery, without stealing, etc etc, but there's my fallin nature that can't let me love my neighbors and GOD like I should. I'm getting better, but it's human nature to be like this. The 10 commandments are easier to keep. In the Bible, in all the gospels, it has this young man who approaches Jesus and asks how to enter the Kingdom of God.Jesus responds " if you want to enter into life, keep my commandments" The young man responds," I've keep them since my youth". So, you see, anyone can keep God's commandments!!
Amen Troy! Thank you for serving your brothers & sisters in Christ by obeying Him and walking in the spiritual gifts the Holy Spirit gives you! God bless you and your family ABUNDANTLY in Jesus name!
Isn't it awesome when you were JUST studying God's Word on the very verses you have in this video? I don't walk in the gift of prophecy, but God's Word is God's Word. Totally awesome!
So let me add a clarification here...IF the REASON you are doing good things is for the purpose of getting yourself into the kingdom, you've got it backwards. It can't work. We don't work our way into the kingdom. The way this DOES work is by the HEART being changed. Once your heart is fully engaged with God through his Holy Spirit, you WILL do good deeds, because these things will naturally flow out of you, as part of God's power in you. So it's important to do good deeds, but it's also important to be appropriately motivated while doing those good deeds. The good works come from God's power in you, they aren't a sort of payment from you to God. There are some people in the church who literally do NO significant good deeds. These people are most often the "lukewarm" people who God will "spit out of his mouth" when the end times come. Never forget this.
For 37 years, I have listened to the Holy Spirit for what to say, do , watch or listen to! He’s the best Teacher of Holiness! If you want to walk with Christ, you will let Him lead you by His Spirit and His Word! I stopped watching Tom and Jerry for almost 40 years ago because The Spirit of the LORD revealed the demon/spirit of sexual perversion that was/is behind it! I pray God will help us believers to see into the spirit world so we can guard our hearts! Jesus Christ delivered me many years ago from satanism and witchcraft! Blessed be His name!🙏🩸🔥🤲. Thanks for sharing brother! 🙏🤗
I used to be in film school and one of the instructors told me filmmakers are like really talented liars... the foley, the video editing, storyline, I was like yeah.
After agonizing biblical counseling for unspeakable trauma and rigid do everything perfect, hearing the gospel feels like braces on a mouthful of crooked teeth. I still dont know if I understand, but I keep listening, hoping this message will break through and break off such painful conditioning.
As both a Christian & an autistic. I can sit an watch cartoons or adult tv show's (comedy, detective, romance etc). I will say for someone who has watched cartoons particularly since the early 90's (millennial) the cartoons used to have subliminal messages in them but now it's like there very direct in the cartoon with whatever there trying to say, promote etc. Not saying either excuses itself. Good example I was told not to watch: My Little Pony or Carebears (which ironically I'm seeing more of in the stores recently in current time) anyway's my point. I turned on both when I was a kid for about 5 mins each to really see why I was not allowed to watch either. After 5 mins I turned both off & never bothered to watch either ever again. To this day if someone asked me the plot line of either one I honestly couldn't tell you. The only other thing I know is when I went to daycare back in the 90's they were littered with different colored carebears having symbols on there stomachs & a heart shaped nose... 🤷♀️ Is peppa pig supposed to be bad though? The whole reason I was drawn to even watching it (I don't watch it all the time more so masha & the bear 😂) was because it just looks like a cute cartoon. I even got some peppa pig nintendo switch games from Walmart when they went on clearance for $20 a piece. It's kept me entertained as for something cute to play on my switch lite. 😁 Between that & Princess Peach nintendo switch right now~ 😁🤣
Thank you, Troy, for seeking the Lord for the words you bring. They are encouraging and I realise you pay a price for this ministry. May our Lord Jesus strengthen you and give you a greater revealation of Jesus Christ. I need this as well 😀.
this is the most intricate visual picture I have ever heard of in a vision, the Lord is so interesting who can decipher his message? so he speaks to us in dreams
YES- Hell a visions on tell a vision Redo ALL old cartoons n shows N Take Away Books n History N Etc N Still Good Shows But Depends on Choice Individually n It's A Heart Matter !!! ❤ 🕊 ThankYou4Sharing!!! ❤ 🕊 MuchLove
I knew this When you are a parent your gut speaks it almost screams Especially little bear episode when him and his dad are taking a bath together singing blow the man down???? Please do a video on little bear trickery with wholesomeness and wholesome songs when it’s not
This video was very important for us to believe in God getting closer to him, I keep believing what you are saying Troy, (more like what holy sprite is saying) but then I get discouraged and forget that it’s about me but about Jesus his righteousness through me. Please guys pray that the lord will teach me to be steadfast in faith, thank you!
You r spot on Troy @ im glad the issue is here...I've seen christian parents allowing their children to watch allsorts of supernatural cartoons as u know......ask in a christian school how many have Harry Potter books 📚 along with the witches hats wands cloaks.....
Troy also had to thank the Pope because the intro starts with the blessing of the light on Holy Saturday. It's literally about the spreading of Jesus church. Now the bases are covered.
Troy today I was doing research on Simon the zealot. He was a revolutionary literally. Under score violent.. I was thinking how I could develop his character. I found my self thinking how I could emphasize his desire to preach the gospel. Holy Ghost said he could sell anything. I will have to say he was prone to violence. The thorn in his side. Even more unsettling is a short History video I saw a couple of years ago. It was about the excavation of the first church of St Peters and Paul. In the bottom floor the found an exquisite fresco of the zodiac with Jesus as the Sun God. There was a Greek quotation about Christ being the Sun God. They also found evidence that the Knights Templar renovated the church and changed it to a SUGAR factory in Galilee. So about the SUGAR I decided to call it crops and depending on a person's life experience it could mean lots of stuff. Will handle it tactfully with some play on words.
Troy Got the birth of Simon the zealot. In the story I used a quote from the Crusaders Street Life.. play till you play Your life away. I think that's acceptable so I said thank you just to cover bases. Also I used the background of a video called My Street a rap song. I used it as the story line for my story. I asked Crusaders if they knew him to say thank you for me. Both of those songs plus the video made my impossible story a reality. Hope you feel I covered the bases. Thanks
Hey Troy, I know you aren’t reading comments right now so if anyone else knows the answer to my question I’d appreciate the help… but what was the name and author of that book you would read to your daughter about trees? Tyia
It is true that the best work of a human can never be as good as the worst work of God. Only faith in Christ’s sacrifice for us can make us pure enough to enter His Kingdom as you clearly and correctly say. Yet we must still try to be good people and are expected to do good works though doing so can never qualify to save us. So we all know no converted/saved person is given license to willfully continue doing evil works by willfully sinning. Do not say it does not matter being irrelevant and immaterial! This is obvious because being saved does never, ever, ever, ever give license to continue in sin having no consequence upon us. Once converted and full of God’s spirit force, this essence of God walking with us very strongly motivates us to want to do only good works though humanly imperfect. We in our minds have so much joy possessed by this godly essence that we ourselves also only want to do good works. The essence of God in us will not want to dwell long in any reprobate human brain. WANTING and TRYING to do good work is NOT DOING GOOD WORKS because a “good work” is a perfect good work no human is capable of. So why is trying still essential? A human trying to do good works always failing is a human possessing the only attitude the spirit of God is willing pair with inside any human brain. Wanting to do good works never perfect enough is loving God because one loves God by loving and admiring His Law. It is not DOING GOD’S LAW that saves us. But not WANTING TO DO HISLAW is an intolerable attitude the spirit force of would never pair up with post Pentecost. No human without this pairing present in them till death’s day can be saved and enter the Kingdom Of God. Yes, wanting to keep God’s Law is the only attitude in a converted human’s mind God will ever tolerate because it Heaven God wants no more Lucifer rebellions like the one described in Rev. 12:4. Lucifer’s flaw was his bad attitude towards God’s Law/rule. Everyone’s WILL is summed up in their ATTITUDE. And so it is also with the Sons Of Man!!
What if a person is struggling to continue to believe any of this (heaven) is real at all? That is a struggle in itself, and it can be a really difficult one. It can also be difficult to take seriously the notion that God loves you when so much of the Bible and church seems so dead set on making you hate yourself, in some really toxic ways. I was raised in a very solid church setting, really believed, around age 17 was reading the Bible cover to cover and while it should have inspired, I couldn't help but feel this deep sense of despair from it. Like God was just... cruel, the structure of the thing felt like it was human created, not like something revelatory, and there was something off about the entire thing. And then by 20 I was in an absolute downward spiral as I had finally realized I was exclusively zoosexual (zero attraction to human forms, only animals) and I could not chnage it no matter how much I tried, I was close to physically castrating myself, was about to go through with that and could not help but feel like, God made me this way, pile of anxiety disorders, severe unresolvable clinical depression, autism, and this stupid horrific sexuality, because he hates me. He wants me to suffer forever, he never meant for me to be in heaven. So I prayed to God asking him to let me kill myself and thanking him for the eternity I was about to spend in hell if that's what he wants... clearly it is what I was made for, and maybe I am already in hell and don't know it, maybe this world is hell and I have lived this life thousands of times only to have memory of it erased every time, so I experience all the misery of it fresh every single time? And I am there crying and debating whether to use a knife to kill myself or just physically castrate and knowing either one likely means death in that restroom and that is okay, and then there is this thought - if I will die today anyway and go to hell, I should at least give my family some sort of explanation as to why. So I go and tell them and am ready to be disowned and still planning to kill myself and... it doesn't happen because they still love me. And that is when I came out as this sick person I am, and I have been out of that closet ever since. I am still a virgin, age 38, still unemployed because nobody will make the mistake of hiring me, and I have - in literal job interviews - flat out told employers they should be careful about hiring me as I am mentally ill and probably a liability but also that I will work more hours than the job requires and then I argue for half the pay rate or less than the job posting describes. And they just stare and are like, we've never seen anyone this determined to sabotage themselves in a job interview. Not that I don't work or volunteer or donate, I am working ten, eleven hours a day minimum and it's nearly all well below min. wage, at first it was sixty cents an hour online and now miraculously it averages almost 10x that, and that's the work that pays, much additional work on top of that does not. But it helps people, and I donate whatever I can. Living on rice and beans and bulk mixed vegetables. Vegetarian, because the thought of hurting animals generally makes me cry. I am in tears constantly, lots of mental and emotional damage. Eating meat feels like cannibalism almost, I know it is weird but it seems to be pretty common with zoosexuals, I have seen polling indicate those who want to mate with animals are also over 5x more likely to be vegan or vegetarian than the general public, and for the same reason, they see animals as people. It's this whole, broken childhood phenomenon where you are hated by your peers and all the people around you and only animals are nice to you so you identify more with them socially and emotionally than humans, and that view burrows its way in on a very deep level. And it can ruin you. Love the idea in the Bible of heaven as peaceful, as this place where predators no longer kill, prey need not be afraid, no creature hurts people, people do not hurt them either I hope. The notion of heaven being the sort of spot where if there's food it's pretty much miraculous provision and not requiring death.
I want to believe that I can somehow eventually be there and that my nature as an individual can be given to Jesus, my whole identity consumed in that but it is difficult in practice to believe that God will ever forgive me or that I will ever be able to forgive myself. I continue in self mutilation patterns. I am often praying for forgiveness and trying to be better but I don't know sometimes if I even want to be forgiven, there is this awareness that maybe I was not meant to be, maybe God intended me to be unhappy. It is hard to reconcile a world this dismal and full of pain and God allowing such a world to be as it is, with a God actually loving us and the existence of heaven sounds almost impossible, because things 'too good to be true' nearly always have been, in my experience, fake. But I hold out hope that Christ will forgive not because I deserve it but because he is kind, and because there is absolutely nothing else here. I know the world ends soon. I can see we have only a few years left at absolute most before modern civilization is foundationally untenable, and that is not 'apocalyptic thinking', it's math, physics, scientific reasoning. I know the constant involved in climate acceleration and it is so alarming when you string together the implications of it. I accept that odds are billions of the people here will be dead in 4 years. I look around and second guess it as I know I cannot trust myself but... there is a psych phenomenon called depressive realism. Depressed people tend to be more able to anticipate catastrophic events and weather them. Because we understand life in this world is horrific and that happiness is a mirage. It's transient, it is rare and anomalous. We have lived through the best few decades of human history and that phase is over but most do not recognize that it is ending. Most do not understand there is a fairly high probability of human extinction the next 250-500 years. The next 25 in particular should be an absolute bloodbath of a nightmare as approx. 98% of the human population dies from war or starvation or disease due to the end of medical infrastructure, and I recognize I won't make it to age 45 and that is fine! I am fine with it even recognizing the evidence for God is not conclusive. If I die and there is just a total cessation of my existence that sounds wonderful as existing has been terribly unpleasant - I am okay with it, but really praying right now that if God will not allow me into heaven that he will just let it all be over, let me stop existing instead of sending me to hell. But if he lets me into heaven in any condition, I know I will surrender everything just on the off chance, the slight, faint hope that it's real. Because that world is the only one that is real, it is all that actually exists. This one? It's a blip, a moment of sheer horror, a bad dream. And if I wake up from it, if we wake up, we may see reality for the first time and find that it is beautiful and that the moment of torture was worth it so we could recognize and appreciate heaven for what it is, and willingly tear away all selfishness, all sin, all individual identity in favor of a harmonious true home where all we care about is the community, us, together, and God. I so long to be there right now. Would cheerfully kill myself, I fantasize about doing so daily, just... whether or not heaven exists, still, any outcome aside from hell seems better than living, but I don't want to because, as stupid as it is, I have this insane delusional notion rattling around in my dumb head that my life needs to matter. That I need to give everything I can and help as many as I can and when it's time, and I possess nothing at all, except my body, only then let them eat me. Weird idea but the truth is starvation will be rampant and some of us will have to die to sustain the others and when the time comes I am one of the people happiest to volunteer. Because I want this life to be over. If I die now it is purposeless, but if I hold out til say 2027, 2028 when things are catastrophic and basically over, and basically unrecognizable, then I can die and have done something of value with those last few years and the end of them. Because the world historically before modern eras has supported 200 million people. The world post industrial collapse maybe 125 million still living by 2080. And then after that it just keeps getting worse. The end of it the planetary temperature levels off at about 45 celsius above normal, or a hundred fahrenheit such that the polar regions are tropical at best and the rest of the planet is entirely dead. Around year 2600 or so. Then the rate of heating starts leveling off and everything is mostly back to 'normal' in temperature terms by 3500. I don't know if humans would still exist and rebound from a few million to a hundred or so million. Maybe. But they will definitely look at our monuments and ruins and wonder what we were thinking. Why we opted to drift into a course of action leading to about 99.96% of life on Earth dying. The only mass extinction that rivals the first major extinction event (not the one ending the dinosaurs but the Cambrian event that ended the trilobites) - there were literal tens of billions at any given time and then none. 99.99% of individual life died then, and over 95% of species. We may now be giving that incident a real run for its money with our greed and pathology and short sighted destructiveness. Hoping this messy process of evolution and pain that hinges on literal millions of generations on end of dead things and dead people, was worth it to God to generate the diverse life that exists here. Hope a lot of, or ideally all that life that went through this miserable long process makes it to some form of heaven and that none of the creatures that lived here have to suffer on the other side. 😢 Would be great if Jesus actually returns for many reasons, first because it would provide actual certainty that the faith is true and not mere hope born from utter desperation and the lack of any other hope whatsoever, second because we so desperately need an intervention really soon before almost everyone and everything alive is destroyed. It has to be soon. If it does not happen in roughly the next decade, it will have happened too late. As for a rapture, if God allowed the holocaust to occur I find the idea he gives his followers a special exit a bit silly. I strongly suspect the rapture as such will be from the viewpoint of the world simply a pathogen or disaster, something of the sort, a vast mass death of billions in mere days, affecting people seemingly at random and killing a lot of believers and unbelievers very fast. If it only were believers impacted, and then if they simply 'vanished' that would make it impossible to ignore, and the world would all immediately and overwhelmingly turn to Jesus to such a great extent that no new world order based upon rejection of Christians could possibly take control. Left Behind and the like do not get this. People reject faith mostly because it seems insane and illogical and contrary to overwhelming evidence, not because they 'don't like Jesus' or 'want to be evil'. Most atheists are not at core bad people, they simply tend to assess the faith logically, not emotionally. And the logical conclusion regarding Christianity is it has issues and it is unlikely God exists given available data. For a NWO to make sense, for a systematic persecution and mark to make any sense, there must remain heavy ambiguity as to what just happened and whether it was the rapture at all, which is to say it must both fit prophecy in the Bible and seemingly be arguably unrelated to it. There would need to be some margin or room for interpretation, enough uncertainty and unexpected means of fulfillment to vindicate believers yet not convince the unbelievers. Predictions of mass forests burning, red moons, dead fish all through the seas, these all are well underway. Marine life is dying out, due to overfishing, forest wildfires are all over due to climate change, and the ash and smoke from such fires makes the moon look blood red in many areas. A lot of the things predicted are already proceeding. And we can argue clearly that greed and sin are the cause regardless of a view that this is a systemic environmental collapse due to the demand for untenable rates of economic growth, causing escalation of war, famine, disease and death, or the idea that it is all supernatural fulfillment. Both are true. Things are rarely as simple as we wish them to be.

Praying for the minds of our children…that they will be protected

And there is no law that says that the news corporations cannot accept money to tell the world someone else' lies.
In 2020 alone, the Australian govt granted $AU440Milion in 100% tax rebates to news outlets for repeating the govt's co\/ld propaganda.
I babysit for a lovely Palestinian muslim family, the mother does not let her baby watch TV shows that are secular and even cartoons. It's sad that they're muslim, but the mom does it mostly for psychological reasons (she is a psychologist) so her daughter is not overstimulated. If she can do this, why don't we as Christians?
There are many things that I don't give my child access to watch. It's very doable when you don't have cable or satellite, and everything you watch, you watch on purpose.
Thank you Lord for your love and MERCY!
I'm so glad my great grandchildren are being home schooled!
It’s the only way to go these days. But state mandated school has always been indoctrination. Home is where education should be.
God helped me break away from my addiction to video games. I was going through one of my depressive episodes and came to a point where I couldn't find enjoyment in video games. It's been a year and I've come through the depression and still have no desire to go back to video games or watching TV. God has answered my prayers and I have drawn closer to him. I know if anyone who seeks to build their relationship with God, he will provide opportunities for you to grow.
Be strong against every addictive marketplace. Get up, step away. Bless you.
You may have to find the root of your depression. Ask Jesus to show you.
I too prayed about it. Left video games in 2023. Praise God. Tv addiction, I left it several years ago.
My daughter is litteraly watching peppa pig when this came across my feed. She doesnt watch it often so this is just interesting how these things happen.
I don’t like my daughter watch it. I’ve never liked the way it is drawn, I think it’s phallic in nature!
I’ve always disliked it as it is so banal. Maybe the Holy Spirit was warning me off it too.
What a good message. He’s not saying Peppa Pig is bad and that we shouldn’t watch TV but we all need to be very aware.
This is so related to a dream the Lord gave me this past winter. It was related to pigs also. It had a southern twist to it, and two different scenarios. In both a man came up behind me, whom I couldn't see and said do not be deceived, not everything is as it seems.
Omg its going to be so beautiful for those who believe ❤️ God is good and hes filled my heart ❤️
Its so true and this message is much bigger than bossy, rude Peppa Pig. All the shows we see on the platforms of big 'providers' are there to shape minds and hearts of ALL ages.
They sow dissatisfaction and worldly desire.
So that people are distracted and led astray by diverse lusts
I don't know why but it makes me think of the man with a pig heart transplant who recently died....
I don't think that was ever a good idea
Its very wrong. My logic and consous speaks loud in my head
@@LikaHartzenberg-rh3vd same here ! I feel like it's all deliberate to be defiant to our own God. I'am glad it didn't work (outside of the loss of human life) becouse their plan was to harvest pigs specifically to make this procedure common practice.
Imagine the heart of an animal ams one God considers unclean at that 😬😬😬
@LikaHartzenberg-rh3vd with your comment n above....its as clear to me now.....1 above is the world..@ your comment 2nd ...answer would b to pray n ask God for a new heart....so thankyou both.....I've never seen it clearer.
@@Victor-q9 ♥️
Pig heart transplant has been common as a temporary measure for many years. Supposed to get human heart ASAP after pig transplant is done. It seems that there would be a shortage of human at this time due to the ouchie being forced on some and heart damage that resulted. I retired nursing partially due to ouchie being mandated. Many of my younger friends now have heart damage😢.
FYI, if you’re sending your children to public school, they are teaching them what’s called diversity equity and inclusion. Beware that those vague terms mean everything that’s going on in the alphabet community. I had to pull my son out of school for the first grade and up he was in kindergarten at the time and I didn’t have a way to send him to private Academy so anyway first day of school I went because it was kindergarten and they said they read them a book do you feel like a boy or do you feel like a girl? He was encouraged to use any bathroom and I also noticed in the school that there was a bathroom, that had some kind of symbol outside the door. They also had the symbol big flag the flag underneath the stairs. I’m assuming parents complained or something but they started to hide it short and said I said you’re planting a seed this is against my religious my civil rights and I was told you know this is School and I said and you know I pay taxes and heartbreaking when I see the innocent children being manipulated to it it’s just it’s just not right it’s just not I never cried so much but God God hears our prayers. I was able to send my son to an Academy with the help of his dad, the Lord and his dad together, please protect their children. Please please protect our children please please😢😢
THANK U FOE THIS CONFIRMATION. My daughter must go to GR1 next year. Iv been rolling around at night cos i hear things you said hear and there. My friend is homeschooling her child. After what YOU just said in your comment , I hav my confirmation now. i must just pull finger and homeschool my child and it must become one of my main priorities. I thank u❤
@@LikaHartzenberg-rh3vd AMEN AMEN AMEN I agree 💯
My daughter homeschooled her babes for a few years and they were very advanced compared to public school students when testing to join public school. My BabyGirl is now the algebra and geometry teacher at school for high school students. My first Grand, Her oldest daughter was accepted into the Arkansas Math and Science school, a very prestigious private school! You can do it!! Pray for wisdom and He will give it freely!! ❤❤❤
I home school my daughter and it is very hard but oh so necessary their is so much our children have to be aware of and yes we do need to protect them they are the future and right now their future looks very sad
@@RVing4Yeshua You won't be sorry!💞
Troy, this message is far greater than any of us realize fully….Thank u Jesus Christ of Nazareth!!!!
this is the most intricate visual picture I have ever heard of in a vision, the Lord is so interesting who can decipher his message? so he speaks to us in dreams
His name is YESHUA. 🙏
I've been without TV for 10years. Except for at work where it plays " children's programming" 24/7. I work pediatric rehab. Kids TV is frightening, now. I don't miss TV at all and tend to ignore it when someone has it on.
Ty Troy, By Grace and thru Faith and Glory to God, Amen🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for your message Troy, it took me awhile to understand that we live through His grace through what He does for us not what we do to try and please Him. A great reminder!
I stopped watching tv 26 yrs ago. There was
an abundance of programs that I wasn’t interested in. I know RUclips has wuite a variety of different venues. To be honest there folks here like yourself that share content that’s helpful as well as scriptural and these are my faves. I do enjoy do enjoy documentaries which includes Biblical as well animal in the wild plus history. God does provide everything for us; I am grateful. Thank you for your videos. I was married to a a Christian man for almost 44 years. He passed away due to cancer. His best friend shared a love for Biblical history; The both were Eskitologists. I miss him a lot however his friend and I talk on the phone several times a month and of course we talk about what happening in the world and how it relates to scripture.
Be thankful for this friend🕊️
SO GRATEFUL TO GOD FOR WHAT HE HAS DONE FOR ME .
Praise the Lord not by might not by power by your spirit Lord 🙏🙏🙏
Troy thank you for always bringing this reminder in your videos, love by faith, and don’t forget your first love! I’ve been asking god to set me up with my daughter who has tried everything but follow god to cure her depression and anxiety and she can’t shake it now matter what she tried and he laid the perfect groundwork for me to tell her of gods love and that she wasn’t meant to carry it all herself, bless you! And thank you for letting god work thru you to reach me
Yes amen!!
Amen!! Be it unto me according to Your Word O Lord!!! ❤❤❤
When you say Troy that some of us do not know GOD, you are correct. I only know the LORD JESUS FROM HIS WORD ONLY. I have been told you must be still to hear that still small voice. Troy, I pray. Please pray for me to the LORD JESUS. I LOVE THE LORD SO SO MUCH, I NEED HELP TO HEAR HIM AND THE HOLY SPIRIT. I will never give up on him, ever. Sincerely, A sister in CHRIST. 🙏🕊
Thank you Lord for your faithfulness
Mr Troy please don't ever let people discourage you from speaking God's message. I know you are familiar with how Jesus's own people never believed Him when He was walking on this earth!! Don't stop or be discouraged, God is changing lives through you. Glory to God!!
You can't live anyway you want. Jesus said " repent" and keep my 10 commandments .
Anyway you want?
@@olinkalupu-vieru4140 What I mean is; A person can't live in habitual sin and count on " grace" to bail him out! God is wanting us to live like Christ lived. That's why we are refered to as Christians( little Christs). The scriptures tell us that Jesus was " emptied out, made lower than the angels" , so that HE could live a life that pleased THE FATHER. Jesus was like us, 100 percent human, because HE left HIS divinity back in heaven. So now, we have no excuse thinking it was unfair. Jesus is our GOD now, because HE fulfilled HIS mission here. So now we can't really live anyway we want because we are without excuse. Thank GOD we have an advocate with THE FATHER, the man JESUS CHRIST who can understand what it is to be fully human.
Yes, Jesus called us to repent but He didn't say keep the 10 commandments. Jesus death on the cross was the sacrifice that freed us from a standard that man couldn't live up to. "Jesus" only gave 2 commandments which will take care of all of the others.
Matt 22:37-38
“Jesus replied: 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. ' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbour as yourself.
@@arethahutchins6260 Yes, Jesus did say repent, but He also said" if you will keep my commandments( only the 10), then My FATHER and I will come in you and lead you to all truth"
We can keep the 10 commandments, but we can't love God with ALL our hearts and love our neighbors as ourselves. I can go all my life without killing a man, I can go without committing adultery, without stealing, etc etc, but there's my fallin nature that can't let me love my neighbors and GOD like I should. I'm getting better, but it's human nature to be like this. The 10 commandments are easier to keep.
In the Bible, in all the gospels, it has this young man who approaches Jesus and asks how to enter the Kingdom of God.Jesus responds " if you want to enter into life, keep my commandments" The young man responds," I've keep them since my youth". So, you see, anyone can keep God's commandments!!
Amen Troy! Thank you for serving your brothers & sisters in Christ by obeying Him and walking in the spiritual gifts the Holy Spirit gives you! God bless you and your family ABUNDANTLY in Jesus name!
Thank you. So encouraging it is.
Thank you, Troy.
Thank you, Lord ..
Blessings to ALL watching 💓🙏 Blessings TROY 💓🙏 AMEN.God Bless 🙏 ISRAEL and AMERICA.
@ "It's through believing that God gave Himself for you." Amen
Isn't it awesome when you were JUST studying God's Word on the very verses you have in this video? I don't walk in the gift of prophecy, but God's Word is God's Word. Totally awesome!
Thank you for sharing this word with us. God bless you!
Amen PTL
Very encouraging. Thank you God for your Grace and Mercy because of your Love for us.
TRUTH❤
So let me add a clarification here...IF the REASON you are doing good things is for the purpose of getting yourself into the kingdom, you've got it backwards. It can't work. We don't work our way into the kingdom.
The way this DOES work is by the HEART being changed. Once your heart is fully engaged with God through his Holy Spirit, you WILL do good deeds, because these things will naturally flow out of you, as part of God's power in you.
So it's important to do good deeds, but it's also important to be appropriately motivated while doing those good deeds. The good works come from God's power in you, they aren't a sort of payment from you to God.
There are some people in the church who literally do NO significant good deeds. These people are most often the "lukewarm" people who God will "spit out of his mouth" when the end times come. Never forget this.
He descended into our lowly world.
Amen! God bless you Troy.
For 37 years, I have listened to the Holy Spirit for what to say, do , watch or listen to! He’s the best Teacher of Holiness! If you want to walk with Christ, you will let Him lead you by His Spirit and His Word! I stopped watching Tom and Jerry for almost 40 years ago because The Spirit of the LORD revealed the demon/spirit of sexual perversion that was/is behind it! I pray God will help us believers to see into the spirit world so we can guard our hearts! Jesus Christ delivered me many years ago from satanism and witchcraft! Blessed be His name!🙏🩸🔥🤲. Thanks for sharing brother! 🙏🤗
I used to be in film school and one of the instructors told me filmmakers are like really talented liars... the foley, the video editing, storyline, I was like yeah.
After agonizing biblical counseling for unspeakable trauma and rigid do everything perfect, hearing the gospel feels like braces on a mouthful of crooked teeth. I still dont know if I understand, but I keep listening, hoping this message will break through and break off such painful conditioning.
Thank you, brother for your encouragement which is rooted in the truth of God.
As both a Christian & an autistic. I can sit an watch cartoons or adult tv show's (comedy, detective, romance etc). I will say for someone who has watched cartoons particularly since the early 90's (millennial) the cartoons used to have subliminal messages in them but now it's like there very direct in the cartoon with whatever there trying to say, promote etc. Not saying either excuses itself. Good example I was told not to watch: My Little Pony or Carebears (which ironically I'm seeing more of in the stores recently in current time) anyway's my point. I turned on both when I was a kid for about 5 mins each to really see why I was not allowed to watch either. After 5 mins I turned both off & never bothered to watch either ever again. To this day if someone asked me the plot line of either one I honestly couldn't tell you. The only other thing I know is when I went to daycare back in the 90's they were littered with different colored carebears having symbols on there stomachs & a heart shaped nose... 🤷♀️ Is peppa pig supposed to be bad though? The whole reason I was drawn to even watching it (I don't watch it all the time more so masha & the bear 😂) was because it just looks like a cute cartoon. I even got some peppa pig nintendo switch games from Walmart when they went on clearance for $20 a piece. It's kept me entertained as for something cute to play on my switch lite. 😁 Between that & Princess Peach nintendo switch right now~ 😁🤣
Bless you Brother.
Glory to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Nice segue! Well said. Thank you. Hug the child that provided your prop for us!
Thank you, Troy, for seeking the Lord for the words you bring. They are encouraging and I realise you pay a price for this ministry. May our Lord Jesus strengthen you and give you a greater revealation of Jesus Christ. I need this as well 😀.
Love it baby boy proud of u being obedient May God bless you and your family beyond measure!!!! Praise God Almighty He is so Good❤️❤️❤️❤️

I’m confused…What’s “ugly” about the 3-D Peppa Pig toy?! They’re cute! 😂😂😂😎 Btw, God bless you for your faithfulness, Troy ❤️
Plat till you play your life away.
In a way, lots of dirty TV
This video was very important for us to believe in God getting closer to him, I keep believing what you are saying Troy, (more like what holy sprite is saying) but then I get discouraged and forget that it’s about me but about Jesus his righteousness through me. Please guys pray that the lord will teach me to be steadfast in faith, thank you!
Right👍💖
You r spot on Troy @ im glad the issue is here...I've seen christian parents allowing their children to watch allsorts of supernatural cartoons as u know......ask in a christian school how many have Harry Potter books 📚 along with the witches hats wands cloaks.....
Troy also had to thank the Pope because the intro starts with the blessing of the light on Holy Saturday.
It's literally about the spreading of Jesus church. Now the bases are covered.
Goose bump I know God is good
God bless you Troy
Yeah that religious grifter Jerry Falwell said the same thing about the Teletubbies😂😂😂
Teletubbies…YUCK. They were creepy.
Troy today I was doing research on Simon the zealot. He was a revolutionary literally. Under score violent..
I was thinking how I could develop his character. I found my self thinking how I could emphasize his desire to preach the gospel. Holy Ghost said he could sell anything. I will have to say he was prone to violence. The thorn in his side.
Even more unsettling is a short History video I saw a couple of years ago. It was about the excavation of the first church of St Peters and Paul. In the bottom floor the found an exquisite fresco of the zodiac with Jesus as the Sun God. There was a Greek quotation about Christ being the Sun God.
They also found evidence that the Knights Templar renovated the church
and changed it to a SUGAR factory in Galilee. So about the SUGAR I decided to call it crops and depending on a person's life experience it could mean lots of stuff.
Will handle it tactfully with some play on words.
Troy Got the birth of Simon the zealot.
In the story I used a quote from the Crusaders Street Life.. play till you play
Your life away.
I think that's acceptable so I said thank you just to cover bases.
Also I used the background of a video called My Street a rap song. I used it as the story line for my story. I asked Crusaders if they knew him to say thank you for me.
Both of those songs plus the video made my impossible story a reality.
Hope you feel I covered the bases.
Thanks
Can you share what those symbols looks like.
How do I do as you say in this video?
I dont see what you are seeing, just not a so cute pig???
You'll get there. Dont worry
Can you ask the lord to give you information on the aespa members please 🙏🙏🙏
Gas prices are down.
Hey Troy, I know you aren’t reading comments right now so if anyone else knows the answer to my question I’d appreciate the help… but what was the name and author of that book you would read to your daughter about trees? Tyia
Led by him!?
Have you ever come across Billy Carson?
You are your own lord brother!!!
it dznt make sense
Thank you Troy That's just what I needed God Bless you And your.family VA.❤🙌📖➕️🌟👑🔜🙏
It is true that the best work of a human can never be as good as the worst work of God. Only faith in Christ’s sacrifice for us can make us pure enough to enter His Kingdom as you clearly and correctly say. Yet we must still try to be good people and are expected to do good works though doing so can never qualify to save us. So we all know no converted/saved person is given license to willfully continue doing evil works by willfully sinning. Do not say it does not matter being irrelevant and immaterial! This is obvious because being saved does never, ever, ever, ever give license to continue in sin having no consequence upon us. Once converted and full of God’s spirit force, this essence of God walking with us very strongly motivates us to want to do only good works though humanly imperfect. We in our minds have so much joy possessed by this godly essence that we ourselves also only want to do good works. The essence of God in us will not want to dwell long in any reprobate human brain. WANTING and TRYING to do good work is NOT DOING GOOD WORKS because a “good work” is a perfect good work no human is capable of. So why is trying still essential? A human trying to do good works always failing is a human possessing the only attitude the spirit of God is willing pair with inside any human brain. Wanting to do good works never perfect enough is loving God because one loves God by loving and admiring His Law. It is not DOING GOD’S LAW that saves us. But not WANTING TO DO HISLAW is an intolerable attitude the spirit force of would never pair up with post Pentecost. No human without this pairing present in them till death’s day can be saved and enter the Kingdom Of God. Yes, wanting to keep God’s Law is the only attitude in a converted human’s mind God will ever tolerate because it Heaven God wants no more Lucifer rebellions like the one described in Rev. 12:4. Lucifer’s flaw was his bad attitude towards God’s Law/rule. Everyone’s WILL is summed up in their ATTITUDE. And so it is also with the Sons Of Man!!
🐥🐥🐥Please 🙏🏻pray for salvation for Chris, Pete and Nick.
That thumbnail is wild
What if a person is struggling to continue to believe any of this (heaven) is real at all? That is a struggle in itself, and it can be a really difficult one. It can also be difficult to take seriously the notion that God loves you when so much of the Bible and church seems so dead set on making you hate yourself, in some really toxic ways. I was raised in a very solid church setting, really believed, around age 17 was reading the Bible cover to cover and while it should have inspired, I couldn't help but feel this deep sense of despair from it. Like God was just... cruel, the structure of the thing felt like it was human created, not like something revelatory, and there was something off about the entire thing. And then by 20 I was in an absolute downward spiral as I had finally realized I was exclusively zoosexual (zero attraction to human forms, only animals) and I could not chnage it no matter how much I tried, I was close to physically castrating myself, was about to go through with that and could not help but feel like, God made me this way, pile of anxiety disorders, severe unresolvable clinical depression, autism, and this stupid horrific sexuality, because he hates me. He wants me to suffer forever, he never meant for me to be in heaven. So I prayed to God asking him to let me kill myself and thanking him for the eternity I was about to spend in hell if that's what he wants... clearly it is what I was made for, and maybe I am already in hell and don't know it, maybe this world is hell and I have lived this life thousands of times only to have memory of it erased every time, so I experience all the misery of it fresh every single time? And I am there crying and debating whether to use a knife to kill myself or just physically castrate and knowing either one likely means death in that restroom and that is okay, and then there is this thought - if I will die today anyway and go to hell, I should at least give my family some sort of explanation as to why. So I go and tell them and am ready to be disowned and still planning to kill myself and... it doesn't happen because they still love me. And that is when I came out as this sick person I am, and I have been out of that closet ever since. I am still a virgin, age 38, still unemployed because nobody will make the mistake of hiring me, and I have - in literal job interviews - flat out told employers they should be careful about hiring me as I am mentally ill and probably a liability but also that I will work more hours than the job requires and then I argue for half the pay rate or less than the job posting describes. And they just stare and are like, we've never seen anyone this determined to sabotage themselves in a job interview. Not that I don't work or volunteer or donate, I am working ten, eleven hours a day minimum and it's nearly all well below min. wage, at first it was sixty cents an hour online and now miraculously it averages almost 10x that, and that's the work that pays, much additional work on top of that does not. But it helps people, and I donate whatever I can. Living on rice and beans and bulk mixed vegetables.
Vegetarian, because the thought of hurting animals generally makes me cry. I am in tears constantly, lots of mental and emotional damage. Eating meat feels like cannibalism almost, I know it is weird but it seems to be pretty common with zoosexuals, I have seen polling indicate those who want to mate with animals are also over 5x more likely to be vegan or vegetarian than the general public, and for the same reason, they see animals as people. It's this whole, broken childhood phenomenon where you are hated by your peers and all the people around you and only animals are nice to you so you identify more with them socially and emotionally than humans, and that view burrows its way in on a very deep level. And it can ruin you.
Love the idea in the Bible of heaven as peaceful, as this place where predators no longer kill, prey need not be afraid, no creature hurts people, people do not hurt them either I hope. The notion of heaven being the sort of spot where if there's food it's pretty much miraculous provision and not requiring death.
I want to believe that I can somehow eventually be there and that my nature as an individual can be given to Jesus, my whole identity consumed in that but it is difficult in practice to believe that God will ever forgive me or that I will ever be able to forgive myself. I continue in self mutilation patterns. I am often praying for forgiveness and trying to be better but I don't know sometimes if I even want to be forgiven, there is this awareness that maybe I was not meant to be, maybe God intended me to be unhappy. It is hard to reconcile a world this dismal and full of pain and God allowing such a world to be as it is, with a God actually loving us and the existence of heaven sounds almost impossible, because things 'too good to be true' nearly always have been, in my experience, fake. But I hold out hope that Christ will forgive not because I deserve it but because he is kind, and because there is absolutely nothing else here. I know the world ends soon. I can see we have only a few years left at absolute most before modern civilization is foundationally untenable, and that is not 'apocalyptic thinking', it's math, physics, scientific reasoning. I know the constant involved in climate acceleration and it is so alarming when you string together the implications of it. I accept that odds are billions of the people here will be dead in 4 years. I look around and second guess it as I know I cannot trust myself but... there is a psych phenomenon called depressive realism. Depressed people tend to be more able to anticipate catastrophic events and weather them. Because we understand life in this world is horrific and that happiness is a mirage. It's transient, it is rare and anomalous. We have lived through the best few decades of human history and that phase is over but most do not recognize that it is ending. Most do not understand there is a fairly high probability of human extinction the next 250-500 years. The next 25 in particular should be an absolute bloodbath of a nightmare as approx. 98% of the human population dies from war or starvation or disease due to the end of medical infrastructure, and I recognize I won't make it to age 45 and that is fine! I am fine with it even recognizing the evidence for God is not conclusive. If I die and there is just a total cessation of my existence that sounds wonderful as existing has been terribly unpleasant - I am okay with it, but really praying right now that if God will not allow me into heaven that he will just let it all be over, let me stop existing instead of sending me to hell. But if he lets me into heaven in any condition, I know I will surrender everything just on the off chance, the slight, faint hope that it's real. Because that world is the only one that is real, it is all that actually exists. This one? It's a blip, a moment of sheer horror, a bad dream. And if I wake up from it, if we wake up, we may see reality for the first time and find that it is beautiful and that the moment of torture was worth it so we could recognize and appreciate heaven for what it is, and willingly tear away all selfishness, all sin, all individual identity in favor of a harmonious true home where all we care about is the community, us, together, and God. I so long to be there right now. Would cheerfully kill myself, I fantasize about doing so daily, just... whether or not heaven exists, still, any outcome aside from hell seems better than living, but I don't want to because, as stupid as it is, I have this insane delusional notion rattling around in my dumb head that my life needs to matter. That I need to give everything I can and help as many as I can and when it's time, and I possess nothing at all, except my body, only then let them eat me. Weird idea but the truth is starvation will be rampant and some of us will have to die to sustain the others and when the time comes I am one of the people happiest to volunteer. Because I want this life to be over. If I die now it is purposeless, but if I hold out til say 2027, 2028 when things are catastrophic and basically over, and basically unrecognizable, then I can die and have done something of value with those last few years and the end of them.
Because the world historically before modern eras has supported 200 million people. The world post industrial collapse maybe 125 million still living by 2080. And then after that it just keeps getting worse. The end of it the planetary temperature levels off at about 45 celsius above normal, or a hundred fahrenheit such that the polar regions are tropical at best and the rest of the planet is entirely dead. Around year 2600 or so. Then the rate of heating starts leveling off and everything is mostly back to 'normal' in temperature terms by 3500. I don't know if humans would still exist and rebound from a few million to a hundred or so million. Maybe. But they will definitely look at our monuments and ruins and wonder what we were thinking. Why we opted to drift into a course of action leading to about 99.96% of life on Earth dying. The only mass extinction that rivals the first major extinction event (not the one ending the dinosaurs but the Cambrian event that ended the trilobites) - there were literal tens of billions at any given time and then none. 99.99% of individual life died then, and over 95% of species. We may now be giving that incident a real run for its money with our greed and pathology and short sighted destructiveness. Hoping this messy process of evolution and pain that hinges on literal millions of generations on end of dead things and dead people, was worth it to God to generate the diverse life that exists here. Hope a lot of, or ideally all that life that went through this miserable long process makes it to some form of heaven and that none of the creatures that lived here have to suffer on the other side. 😢
Would be great if Jesus actually returns for many reasons, first because it would provide actual certainty that the faith is true and not mere hope born from utter desperation and the lack of any other hope whatsoever, second because we so desperately need an intervention really soon before almost everyone and everything alive is destroyed. It has to be soon. If it does not happen in roughly the next decade, it will have happened too late. As for a rapture, if God allowed the holocaust to occur I find the idea he gives his followers a special exit a bit silly. I strongly suspect the rapture as such will be from the viewpoint of the world simply a pathogen or disaster, something of the sort, a vast mass death of billions in mere days, affecting people seemingly at random and killing a lot of believers and unbelievers very fast. If it only were believers impacted, and then if they simply 'vanished' that would make it impossible to ignore, and the world would all immediately and overwhelmingly turn to Jesus to such a great extent that no new world order based upon rejection of Christians could possibly take control. Left Behind and the like do not get this. People reject faith mostly because it seems insane and illogical and contrary to overwhelming evidence, not because they 'don't like Jesus' or 'want to be evil'. Most atheists are not at core bad people, they simply tend to assess the faith logically, not emotionally. And the logical conclusion regarding Christianity is it has issues and it is unlikely God exists given available data. For a NWO to make sense, for a systematic persecution and mark to make any sense, there must remain heavy ambiguity as to what just happened and whether it was the rapture at all, which is to say it must both fit prophecy in the Bible and seemingly be arguably unrelated to it. There would need to be some margin or room for interpretation, enough uncertainty and unexpected means of fulfillment to vindicate believers yet not convince the unbelievers. Predictions of mass forests burning, red moons, dead fish all through the seas, these all are well underway. Marine life is dying out, due to overfishing, forest wildfires are all over due to climate change, and the ash and smoke from such fires makes the moon look blood red in many areas. A lot of the things predicted are already proceeding. And we can argue clearly that greed and sin are the cause regardless of a view that this is a systemic environmental collapse due to the demand for untenable rates of economic growth, causing escalation of war, famine, disease and death, or the idea that it is all supernatural fulfillment. Both are true. Things are rarely as simple as we wish them to be.
I don’t see what’s so horrifying did I miss something? I watched it twice there wasn’t anything I saw creepy about the pig.
Nice hat 💚💛🐻
