The COVID-19 Panic

Why is the world in a panic over COVID-19?

This year much of the world is in a crisis from the COVID-19 virus.  In truth, the crisis is not being caused by the COVID-19 virus, as much as the world-wide panic over the COVID-19 virus.

This panic has caused shortages of toilet paper, hand sanitizer, and cleaning supplies across America as people made run on stores.  People are being told every where to practice "social distancing", meaning keep at least six feet (2 m) away from other people.

Healthy people are seen wearing medical masks everywhere you go.  These masks are more designed to protect other people from the wearer than to protect the wearer from other people.  Yet, it makes people somehow safer to wear a medical mask.

In the US, Israel, and other countries, the panic has caused their governments to virtually quarantine the entire country.  People are being ordered to stay in their homes, except to do things like get groceries and hunt for toilet paper.

Any business dubbed non-essential has been ordered to shut down.  (Strangely, this did not include liquor stores and marijuana dispensaries in Oklahoma, but it did include medical clinics.)  Restaurants had to resort to carry out or delivery only.  Airports and hotels are vacant.

In like manner, places of worship have remained empty on days of worship.

American states, and entire foreign countries, have lock their residences in and everyone else out.  For example, the state of Florida ordered all beaches closed and put up check points on I-95 to keep anyone from New York or New Jersey from entering the state.  Oklahoma City has requested that anyone who leaves the state of Oklahoma to self-quarantine for 14 days after they return to Oklahoma City.

This has led to a total and complete shutdown of entertainment venues.

It has hit basketball hard. The NBA cancelled the rest of its season.  For the first time ever, March Madness, the NCAA championship has been cancelled.

Hockey also took quite a hit, canceling the rest of its season.  There will probably be no Stanley Cup for 2020.

It will also impact baseball and soccer, causing their seasons to start late and be abbreviated at best.  Even the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo have been postponed until 2021. 

No sport has been able to continue as normal due to the COVID-19 Panic.  If the COVID-19 Panic continues long enough, it will even affect the American football season.

Of course, the same is true for all forms of entertainment that rely on large audiences being physically present, like concerts.

Movie theaters have been shutdown.  Even the Admiral Twin, one of the last drive-in theaters in America, has been shutdown.  This has virtually destroyed the entire box office business.

This panic has wrecked havoc on the economy.

The longest bull market in history came to an abrupt end.  The all-time record for the stock market was set on February 12, 2020 when the market started going down significantly for the first time since March 11, 2009.

The Market fell by three record single day falls beginning on March 9, 2020.  By March 11, it had fell by 20%, the same amount as the month of October, 1929, which led to the Great Depression.  As of today, the last day of March 2020, it is down 27%, a new record for a single month drop.

What has driven this unprecedented drop in the stock market?

The COVID-19 Panic caused it.

Lots of investors began cashing out their stocks out of fear that they would need liquid assets to survive what they imagined was the approaching apocalypse.  As stock prices fell, other investors cashed out their stocks as well to prevent themselves from losing money.  This was a vicious cycle driven entirely by fear.

The smart investors are going buy these undervalued stock created by the COVID-19 Panic.  This will create an even larger gap between the richest 1% and everyone else, after the COVID-19 Panic ends.

However, it is not just the stock market that has suffered from the COVID-19 Panic.  It is also hit the job market, particularly the lowest wage earners in society.

Unemployment rates in America were at a fifty year low before the COVID-19 Panic began.  More importantly, the labor force participation rate, the percentage of people who are working, had reached an all time high.  Most importantly, the labor force participation rate was almost ninety percent for those between the ages of 25 and 54.

Then the COVID-19 Panic began.

Since then a record number of unemployment claims were filed in the US.  In some states, claims jumped over a thousand percent in a single week, smashing all previous records.

Most of those have been filed due to people not be able to go to their workplace.  Non-essential business have been shut down, so their workers are unemployed until the COVID-19 Panic ends.  Other business have cut back on their staff, as their business model has been forced to change.

Those with jobs that can work from home, have been doing so.  However, consumer confidence is low causing them to cut back on expenditures.

For the time being, the blunt of what could turn into record unemployment is being felt by the lowest paid workers.  However, if the COVID-19 Panic continues, then it will affect every level of the work force.

Is all of this panic justified?

The fact is that COVID-19 pales in comparison to other pandemics.

The Black Plague in the Medieval Europe killed approximately half the people in Europe, giving it a minimum mortality rate of 50%, if everyone in the area was actually infected.  If not everyone was infected, then the mortality rate of the Black Plague was even higher.

The Avian Flu had a mortality rate of 60% in 2008.

Then there was the Spanish Flu, which was called the Wu Shu Flu in the American South, due to the belief that it originated in China, not Spain.  It had a mortality rate of around 16%.

COVID-19?

Under 5% world-wide.  That is with areas deficient in modern medicine pulling the average up.

When I read about COVID-19 in Israel a few days ago, there were 1659 cases and only one death - that of a holocaust survivor around 90 years old.  That is a mortality rate well under 1%.  In fact, it is about the same as the flu in a mild flu season.

Does the low mortality rate of COVID-19 really justify all of this panic?

COVID-19 even looks paler, when you consider the total numbers of deaths caused by other pandemics.

The Black Plague stands out as the clear winner with as many as 200 million dead from it.  It might be a lot higher, since these are only the people killed by it in the Near East, Europe, and the edge of North Africa were recorded.  It might have caused unrecorded devastation in the rest of the Old World before and after its seven year reign of terror in the area recorded by European historians.

The Spanish Flu comes in second with only 100 million dead - half as many as the Black Plague.  However, it only lasted for three years.

Smallpox epidemics have also killed tens of millions of people at a time.

COVID-19?

A little over 33,000 at the time of this writing.  Considering that the curve has went down in China, the source of origin, the total is likely to end up around 66,000 total deaths world-wide.  This about the same number of people killed in the United States by the flu in the 2017-2018 season - and one tenth of the people killed globally by the flu that season.

Where was all the panic over the flu each season, since it has killed five to ten times as many people each year?

COVID-19 also does not hold up to other pandemics when you consider the demographics of those killed by it.

The Black Plague killed people of every age and demographic.  It seemed to be an equal opportunity killer.

The Spanish Flu likewise had no respect to age.  It sometimes killed entire families from the newborn babies to the great-grandparents.

The flu kills about the same percentage of children under one year of age and adults at least sixty years of age.  The lowest percentage killed are children about twelve years of age.  The death rate has a very slow climb until about 30 years of age, after which it rises at a slow but steady rage.

COVID-19?

Over 90% of the deaths are people that are at least seventy years old.  So far, there has been very few cases of anyone under ten years of age dying from COVID-19.

There are lots of things that primarily kill people once they reach the age of seventy.  Where is the world-wide panic over those things?

So, the world-wide panic over COVID-19 is not justified.  So, what is behind this panic?

The answer is in when the COVID-19 Panic started.

The COVID-19 virus was first identified on December 1, 2019 in Wuhan, China.  Although, the government of China, the World Health Organization (WHO), and the Center for Disease Control (CDC), monitored the spread of COVID-19, the general consensus was that it was no worse than the flu.

This continued to be the case, even after it spread outside of China.

Then on January 29, 2020 - almost two months after the discovery of COVID-19 - the world began to panic causing the White House Coronavirus Task Force to be announced.  The next day, WHO added to the panic by declaring COVID-19 to be a Public Health Emergency of International Concern.  The next day, the first case was found in Italy.

This added to the panic when Italy immediately declared a state of emergency and began taking steps to isolate Italians from the world and each other.  By this time, the world was in a panic over COVID-19.  Other countries, including the United States and Israel, followed the Italian model of responding to COVID-19.

So, on January 28, 2020 the world was treating COVID-19 as it would a regular flu.  The next day, a panic over COVID-19 began that has had devastating effects on the life and well-being of most nations, including the United States and Israel.

So, the question then becomes, did anything significant occur on January 28, 2020?

That was the day that President Trump and Prime Minister Netenyahu announced a new "peace deal" to divide the land of Israel between Jews and so-called Palestinians.  President Trump dubbed this "peace deal" "the Deal of The Century".

You might be thinking that this is just a strange coincidence.  However, consider the timing of other such "peace deals" sponsored by the United States and other disasters.

Consider these examples.

When President Bush I pushed the Israelis to accept a "peace deal" at the Madrid peace conference, the next day the Perfect Storm formed in the Atlantic Ocean and devastated his home in Kennebunkport, Maine.

When his son,  President Bush II, announced on September 10, 2001, that he was would be unveiling a "peace deal" with the cooperation of Muslim nations the next day, the unveiling never occurred thanks to Muslim terrorists slamming hijacked planes into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on September 11.

The day after Israel was pressured into a "peace deal" that left no Jews in Gaza, dead or alive, by President Bush II, Hurricane Katrina devastated the United States evacuating not just the living, but also the dead out of New Orleans.

I could go on, but I think that you have probably noticed a pattern on your own.

The fact is that this pattern has held true for as long as the United States has been sponsoring "peace deals" between the Israelis and their enemies.  In every single case, disaster has struck the United States, a day or so after the announcement of the "peace deal".  Most of the time, a disaster has also struck Israel as well as every other nation involved in making these "peace deals".

This pattern is so well documented that people have written entire books on it, carefully documenting each "peace deal" announcement and the disaster that soon followed.

This strange pattern also works in reverse.

For example, when President Trump took office, the economy of the United States was in its second worse condition ever.  In December 17 of his first year in office, he officially recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.  The US economy took off the next day.  By the end of his first year, the US economy was in the best condition that it has ever been.

Things got even better after President Trump moved the US Embassy to Jerusalem on May 14, 2018 - Israel Independence Day.

Again, there have been books written that carefully document the pattern of the US, or any other nation, treating Israel or the Jewish people favorably, and unforeseeable good fortune suddenly coming up them.

These patterns even holds true for Israel, with a slightly different set of parameters.

Is there any explanation for these patterns concerning Israel?

The Book of Truth (The Bible) tells us exactly why these patterns exist.

It all began with Abraham (Abram).

The Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) promised that if Abraham would separate himself from his ungodly relatives by moving to the land of Canaan, then He would bless anyone that blessed the great nation that would come from Abraham, and curse anyone that cursed that great nation (Genesis 12:1-3).  The Father of Truth then promised that the great nation that would come from Abraham would be given the land of Canaan, after Lot departed from Abraham (Genesis 13:14-17).

The Father of Truth then confirmed that the great nation that He had promised Abraham would surely come inherit the land of Canaan (Genesis 22:16-18).  He then confirmed to his son Isaac (Yitzhaq), that he would be the one to inherit the promises given to Abraham for his obedience, if Isaac would also remain in the land of Canaan like Abraham (Genesis 26:3-5).

Isaac, then passed down this promise to his son Jacob (Yah'acov aka Israel) (Genesis 27:29-30).  This promise was confirmed to be given to the descendants of Israel at Mount Sinai (Exodus 32:12-14).

This promise to bless those who bless the people of Israel and to curse those who curse the people of Israel has came about in numerous ways throughout history.  Often, the curse upon the nations that have cursed the Jewish people have came in the form of a plague, usually brought in by people of a foreign nation.

For example, the people of Europe, the Near East, and North Africa persecuted the Jewish people greatly during the time of the Crusades and the years that followed.

First, Europe was overran and raided by Mongols from 1223 to 1337.  Millions of Europeans were killed and large nations like Cumania and Volga Bulgaria were destroyed.  However, the Mongols also persecuted Jews in the process.

Eventually, the Mongols, Turkish people, and Eastern Europeans formed the Golden Horde in the eastern part of Europe, the northern parts of the Middle East, and central Asia. 

Then in 1346, the Black Plague appeared in the Golden Horde and began to spread west from there.  It is believed that it brought into the Golden Horde by merchant caravans from China.

By 1353, the Black Plague had covered the entire area that had participated in the persecution of the Jewish people during and after the Crusades, including much of the Middle East.

Another example came hundreds of years later.  At that time, a new wave of persecution arrived against the Jewish people in much of Europe in the form of The Pogroms.

A pogrom was a violent riot that aimed to persecute or massacre the Jewish people.  The Pogroms were often the planned actions of the ruling governments, and initiated by soldiers in the army of the government.

The first pogrom occurred at Odessa, Russia in 1821 AD.  (This was a city inside the territory of the Golden Horde.)  The majority of pogroms against Jews occurred in the Russian Empire, Eastern Europe, and the German Empire.

There was also a couple of minor pogroms in England and Ireland, that were small, and with no casualties.

These pogroms caused people, like the ancestors of the Reluctant Jew, to hide their Jewish ancestry - even from their children.

Then World War I came about through a really strange set of circumstances in 1914.

Soon, war was spread all over the world, as global empires formed alliances and went to war with each other.  This led to the death of four empires: the Austro-Hungrian Empire, the Russian Empire, the German Empire, and the Ottoman Empire.

These four empires had almost all of the Pogroms and other acts of planned violence against Jews.  They were gone by 1917, but they were not the only ones who had cursed the Jews in some manner.

The Great War was over, but trouble brewing was on the horizon.

Woodrow Wilson, the President of the United States had consented to the Balfour Declaration in October of 1917.  When the British published the Balfour Declaration in November of 1917, it promised a Jewish homeland in so-called Palestine - the name that the Romans had given to Judaea after they dispersed the Jews from Judaea in 135.  The expectation was that the Judaea would be given back to the Jews.

However, the other allies of Britain and America were immediately against this plan.  So, in December of 1917, the US and Britain added restrictions that would only allow the Jews to return to Judaea - not set up their own country there.

In January of 1918, the Spanish Flu began in France, where the government kept it secret from the public.  The press of the United States, Britain, and Germany, were also forced to suppress news of the flu out of fear of public panic.  However, the press of Spain was not under any such pressure and freely reported it.  For this reason, people called it the Spanish Flu.

In the American South, many of the soldiers who returned home from France, had reported that had been many Chinese workers in France, who had performed various services behind the battle lines during the war.  They believed that these Chinese workers had brought the flu to France.  For this reason, it was called the Wu Shu Flu in the American South.

By the time that the second wave of the Spanish Flu was over in December of 1920 AD, around 100 million people were dead.

The hardest hit countries were the countries were those formed out of the four empires destroyed in World War I, America, the countries of the British Empire, and the allied countries that had demanded a reversal of the Balfour Declaration.

There are many more examples that I could give, but this is sufficient to show that if history has only one lesson to learn it is this:

Don't screw with the Jews!

The Spirit of Anti-Jewism will always bring about a curse to those given over to it.

This explains the pattern concerning nations that mistreat the Jews and Israel, but it does not explain why the Jews and Israel usually also suffer at the same time.

Two things must be considered to explain why Jews and Israel are also affected.

First, we must consider the entire seed of Abraham.

The seed of Abraham consisted of two parts, the stars in the heavens and the sand on the seashore (Genesis 22:17).

The physical descendants of Israel that would come from his children, were promised to be as numerous the sand on the seashore (Genesis 32:9-12).  This part of the seed of Abraham is Earthly, just like the sand on the seashore.  Every descendant of Israel is automatically part of this Earthly seed.

However, there is also another part of the seed of Abraham, that is Heavenly, just like the stars in the heavens.  None of the descendants of Israel are automatically part of this Heavenly seed.

Those physical descendants of Israel who refused to obey the voice of the Father of Truth, will be destroyed out from among those who were as numerous as the stars of the heavens (Deuteronomy 28:62).   It is obeying the voice of the Father of Truth that makes a person a child of Abraham, not just a descendant of Abraham (John 8:33-39).

Abraham obeyed the voice of the Father of Truth, because Abraham believed that He would do what He had promised (Romans 4:3).  So, it those who also obey the voice of the Father of Truth, because they believe that the Father of Truth will do what He has promised, who are the Children of Abraham (Romans 4:9-13).

The Father of Truth can raise up children to Abraham from people of any nation, who will obey His voice, not just the physical descendants of Israel (Luke 3:8).  It is people of every nation, who obey the voice of the Father of Truth, who are the children of Abraham (Galatians 3:6-9).

So, the Children of Truth (those who obey The Father of Truth because they love Him), both Jews and Gentiles, are the Heavenly seed of Abraham (Galatians 3:26-29).

So, when some of the Earthly seed of Abraham persecutes some of the Heavenly seed of Abraham, they bring a curse upon themselves as promised to Abraham.

So, the Jews often suffer with the Gentiles for the same reason that the Gentiles are suffering.

Many Gentiles have persecuted one part of the seed of Abraham, so they have brought the curse of the COVID-19 Panic upon themselves.

Many Jews and Israelis have persecuted the other part of the seed of Abraham, so they have brought the curse of the COVID-19 Panic upon themselves.

The Spirit of Anti-Christ will always bring about a curse to those given over to it.

The root of many of the Earthy seed of Abraham being cursed for persecuting the Heavenly seed of Abraham is the Rabbis (1 Thessalonians 2:13-15).  They are the source of Jewish trouble.

Second we must consider the real owner of the Land of Israel.

The Father of Truth owns the entire Earth and everyone in it (Psalm 24:1).  He alone has the right to determine the boundaries of the land of every ethnic group on Earth (Acts 17:24-26).

The Father of Truth set the boundaries of the land that He promised Abraham (Genesis 15:18-21).  He set the boundaries of the land that He gave for the descendants of Israel to live in (Deuteronomy 1:6-8).

He is the owner of the Land of Israel and the descendants of Israel are His tenants (Leviticus 25:23).

This means that no one has a right to divide the Land of Israel or sell part of it for peace - not even the Israelis!

It is not theirs to sell or negotiate with.

For example, what if President Trump decided to let a company use the entire Trump Tower for their operations.

However, many of the former tenants refused to move out when served notice that the new company has been given the entire tower as a place of operations.  When some of the the former tenants did move out of some floors, another group of squatters move into those floors, before the new company could set up operations on those floors.

So, the new company started selling the floors to the old tenants and squatters in exchange for peace.

Eventually, these agreements broke down because the old tenants and the squatters will not keep any agreement that they make with new company.  They refused to admit that the Trump Tower never belonged to them to start with.

Eventually a master negotiator began presenting plans to partition the Trump Tower between the new company, the old tenants, and the squatters.

When President Trump learned what was going on, would he be fine with it?  No!

The Trump Tower does not belong to the new company, the old tenants, or the squatters.  It cannot be partitioned by a third party negotiator.  Only President Trump can decide who operates out the Trump Tower and who does not.

In fact, President Trump would be angry with the new company for trying to sell parts of the Trump Tower, instead of asking for his help in removing the old tenants and keeping out the squatters.  He would be angry at the old tenants and the squatters for claiming ownership of his property.  He would be angry at the third party negotiator for trying to partition his property.

There would be consequences for everyone involved.

It is exactly like that when Israel tries to sell part of the Land of Israel to the so-called Palestinians.

The Israelis have no right to sell any of the Land of Israel.  It does not belong to them. 

Those very few people that were in the Land of Israel before the Jews began returning in 1870, do not have a right to return to the Land of Israel.   It never belonged to them.

The very word Palestinian literally means "invader".  They have no right to any part of the Land of Israel.  The Father of Truth did not give it to them.

A third party like the United States has no right to negotiate deals to partition His land.

So, all of the parties involved in selling and partitioning His land have consequences, even the Jews and Israelis.

The COVID-19 Panic is one of those consequences for the latest attempt to sell and partition His land.

Israel, and the Jews who supported this partition plan, are as guilty as the Palestinians and the United States, along with whatever other nations were involved behind the scenes.  So, all of them are suffering from the effects of the COVID-19 Panic.

America, Israel, and the world need to realize that there is only one Middle East peace plan that will work!

Why do these curses not affect every individual in the punished groups equally?

The Children of Truth are not affected by these curses, when they are spending time with the Father of Truth (Psalm 91:1-10).  Even when people all around them are being destroyed, they are protected by Him (Psalm 91:5-8).  It goes well with them when the wicked, like blatant homosexuals, are reaping the destruction that they have sown (Isaiah 3:9-11).

This has been seen many times in history.

For example, my own grandmother saw this played out with her own eyes.

Her family was persecuted in south Arkansas for refusing to join the Klu Klux Klan and for hiding some of their African American neighbors from the same.  They never stopped resisting the Klu Klux Klan, because her father had heroic resolve.  Their persecution by the Klu Klux Klan continued to get worse until the Wu Shu Flu (Spanish Flu) hit southern Arkansas.

Entire families of their persecutors died from the Wu Shu Flu, from the youngest baby to the oldest great-grandparent.  However, not one member of her family even got the sniffles from it, despite taking care of their neighbors that were incapacitated by the Wu Shu Flu.  They also helped bury the families of their enemies that had died from the Wu Shu Flu - without ever getting sick.

In like manner, these disasters have a long history of striking the greatest centers of evil disproportionately hard.

For example, New Orleans suffered more than half of the damage caused by Hurricane Katrina on August 29, 2005.  New Orleans almost completely destroyed.

This prevented the annual public orgy of homosexuals called "Southern Decadence", which was going to occur the following Labor Day week end.

Even though Las Vegas is called "Sin City", it is not the clear winner over New Orleans.

Before Hurricane Katrina hit, and marshal law was imposed, the murder rate in New Orleans was ten times the national average.  New Orleans was famous for hosting that drunken orgy called Mardi Gras, which proceeds Ash Wednesday each year.

It also sponsored Southern Decadence since 1988.  This was part of a plan to become the preferred vacation destination for people who lived like they were married in Sodom.

It is no different with COVID-19.

As of this writing, almost half of the cases and deaths from COVID-19 in the United States have been in one city - New York City.  This is not by random chance.  New York City brought this curse upon itself.

The Democratic party gained control of both houses of the New York legislature and the governorship of New York in the 2018 election.  The Democrats were only able to gain this control due to New York City.  Without New York City, the governor of New York would be a Republican and the Republicans would control both houses of the state legislature.

The Democratically controlled state of New York then passed the Reproductive Health Act in January of 2019.  The Democrats were only able to do this after gaining control of both the executive and legislative branches.  The Republicans had blocked this act for decades.

This act allows abortions after the 24th week of pregnancy, if a doctor deems it necessary to preserve "the health" of the mother.  It puts no limit on when this abortion can occur, other than before the baby is born.  It provides no definition of what "health" means.

So, under the statue a doctor could perform an abortion on a baby while in the birth canal, because he determined that the baby being born would be bad for the "mental health" of the mother.

This law that lets these serial killers murder children in the womb with impunity was only passed because of the Democratic control made possible by New York City.  So, it fair to say that New York City is mostly responsible for wickedness.

So, it does matter how people live.  When we start examining the details, we find that COVID-19 and things like it, are not really equal opportunity killers after all.

However, the COVID-19 Panic is another curse that affects far more than just those who are infected with COVID-19.  It could actually cause more long term damage to the United States and the world than the actual disease.

Those who obey the voice of the Father of Truth have no reason to join in the COVID-19 Panic.

The best way to prevent a plague like COVID-19 is to understand how it begins.

This is not hard to understand, if you know where sickness comes from.

If people will keep His commandments, then the Father of Truth will take away from them all sickness and put none of the sickness upon them that He will lay upon His enemies (Deuteronomy 7:11-15).

On the other hand, if they do not keep those commandments, then they are opening the door to plagues like COVID-19 (Deuteronomy 28:58-61).

These commandments include commandments to eat only animals that the Father of Truth says are food, and to never eat any He says is filth (Leviticus 11:2-31).

When they ignore what He says is for dinner, then they are inviting disease into their lives.

For example, COVID-19 was first found in people in Wuhan, China.

They had been eating snakes.  These snakes had the virus in them from eating bats carrying the virus.  Other people in Wuhan could have gotten the virus from eating the infected bats.  These are animals that the Father of Truth commands people not to eat.

In like manner, pigs and chickens being raised near each other to be eaten was the source of the Spanish Flu, the Avian Flu, and the Swine Flue epidemics.  In fact, the majority the annual flu seasons start from close contact between chickens and pigs.

Pigs have an amazing immune system that allow them to carry a large variety of diseases with no visible symptoms.  In fact, there is so much toxicity in their bodies, that the poison of many types of snakes do not harm them.  This makes sense for an animal designed to be the garbage disposal of the forest.

So, the pigs catch avian diseases from chickens and pass them on to people.  This situation is made worse by the pigs being fed the chickens that died from these avian diseases.

But what about Jews and Israelis, who do not eat filthy animals like pigs?

They are also subject to plagues for not obeying the voice of the Father of Truth in a different way.

If Jews and Israelis will obey the voice of  the Angel (Messenger) of the Father of Truth that He sent before their ancestors in the wilderness, then the Father of Truth will take sickness out of their midst (Exodus 23:20-25). 

However, if they refuse to obey the voice of the Prophet like unto Moses (Moishe) that the Father of Truth raised up, then they are subject to suffering the consequences (Deuteronomy 18:15-19).

The Messiah of Israel is that Angel of the Father of Truth and that Prophet like unto Moses.  The Original Covenant (Tanakh aka The Old Testament) clearly defines the characteristics of the identity of the Messiah.  There can be no doubt that the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) is the Messiah of Israel.

The Father of Truth will destroy from among the people of Israel, all who will not obey the voice of the Man of Truth (Acts 3:20-23).

One of the ways that they can be destroyed from among the people of Israel is by plagues like COVID-19 (Deuteronomy 28:59-62).

More than that, the Father of Truth drove the people of Israel out of the Promised Land and scattered them among all the nations of the Earth, where they have had constant trouble, for refusing to obey the voice of the Man of Truth (Deuteronomy 28:63-67).

It is this reason, that the people of Israel have been scattered to the ends of the Earth and back again.

However, the COVID-19 Panic can be stopped quickly.

The COVID-19 Panic will die within days if COVID-19 suddenly ends.  The good news is that there is a way for COVID-19 to suddenly end.

America, Israel, and all of these other nations, need to return to obeying the voice of the Father of Truth.

When the Temple was standing, the Father of Truth would remove every plague like COVID-19, from their land, if the people of Israel would seek His face in the Temple (2 Chronicles 6:28-30).  The same was true of any Gentile who would do the same (2 Chronicles 6:32-33).

If they could not make it to the Temple for some reason, like fighting in a war, then they could face Jerusalem and the Temple instead (2 Chronicles 6:34-35).  They could even face towards the ruins of Jerusalem and the Temple from a far away land, if the people of Israel were scattered among the nations (2 Chronicles 6:36-39).

However, it is very important to do this in the right way.

The Father of Truth knows the heart of every person, and rather or not they will turn to obeying His voice if he delivers them (1 Kings 8:38-40).  The Father of Truth will only remove a plague like COVID-19 when people humble themselves by admitting that they brought disaster upon them selves when they refused to obey His voice, and commit from their heart to return to obeying His Voice (2 Chronicles 7:12-14).

America, Israel, and the rest of the world, failed to answer the call of 9-11 to repentance.  As a result, there has been unending war for the last eighteen years.

Will they repent quickly during this wave of COVID-19, or will there be a more deadly second wave, like there was with the Spanish Flu?

Regardless of what these nations do, you can still protect yourself from COVID-19.  You can do what has been proven to work by millions including the Impossible Girl.

The Messiah of Israel was to be beaten with stripes to bring healing to anyone that put their trust in him (Isaiah 53:5).  The Man of Truth took that terrible beating before he went to the cross, so you could be healed of any disease, if you will put your trust in him (1 Peter 2:24).

You can be healed of COVID-19, or anything else, if you will come into the House of Truth.

As great as that is, that is no where near the greatest thing that he has done for you.

The truth is, that there is not anyone who has not sinned (1 Kings 8:46).  All have sinned and fell short of the glory of the Father of Truth (Romans 3:23).

The Messiah of Israel was to come to bear our iniquities, because all of us like sheep have gone astray from the love of the Father of Truth (Isaiah 53:6).  Since, like sheep we have gone astray, the Man of Truth came to lead us back the love of the Father of Truth (1 Peter 2:25).

The Messiah of Israel was to suffer silently like a sheep led to the slaughter for the transgression of others, because he alone had no transgressions (Isaiah 53:7-9).  The Man of Truth suffered silently like a sheep led to the slaughter for the transgression of others, because he alone had no transgressions (1 Peter 2:21-23).

The Messiah of Israel was to pour out his soul until death for the transgressions of others, and then lived again to justify those, whose transgressions that he had carried away (Isaiah 53:10-12).  The Man of Truth rose from the dead to justify those who believe that he carried their transgressions away (Romans 4:22-25).

Some were not going to believe the report about the Messiah of Israel being the arm of the Father of Truth to bring salvation, when the leaders of the people of Israel did not esteem him (Isaiah 53:1-3).  Most of the people of Israel did not believe the report about the Man of Truth being the arm of the Father of Truth to bring salvation, because their leaders did not esteem him (John 12:37-43).

The leaders of Israel would say that the Messiah of Israel was afflicted by the Father of Truth for his own transgressions (Isaiah 53:4).  The leaders of Israel accused the Man of Truth of blasphemy and condemned him to death (Mark 14:61-65).

So, the people of Israel have suffered so many things due to Rabbinic Distort.  They have been denied the healing that their Messiah bought for them.  However, that healing was bought for all people, because the Man of Truth is also the Savior of the Gentiles.

So, will your believe the report about the Man of Truth being the arm of the Father of Truth to bring salvation?

You just need to make a commitment to start obeying the voice of the Man of Truth, because you believe that his Father raised Him from the dead (Romans 10:9-10).  This offer is available to Jew and Gentile alike (Romans 10:11-13).

Come into the House of Truth!

The Impossible Girl

Why is my daughter The Impossible Girl?

When Savannah was born, she was soon diagnosed as failure-to-thrive.  It was not really certain at the time why she was not thriving, but it was certain that if things did not change, then she would die in a short time.

One problem soon identified was that she was not able to take in milk or formula, so that she was basically starving to death.  So she was set up with a nasal-gastro (NG) tube that would allow Pedialyte to be slowly and constantly dripped into her stomach so she would not die of dehydration.

Then the doctors ran some tests and determine that she was intolerant of milk and unable to digest normal baby formula.  They then managed to find a specialty formula that was lactose free and protein free that she could not digest.

This kept her alive and able to grow in some ways.  However, they did not expect her to ever get better, and that she would have to have a feeding tube inserted in her belly to feed her.

I had been praying in tongues and fasting frequently before she was ever born, so my faith in the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) was all built up.  So I told them that she was going to get better, and would never need a feeding tube.

Later, the NG tube came out, and she began being able to take in the special formula through a bottle.  A while after that, she began to be able to drink a formula that contained formula.  Eventually, she was eating regular baby food, then normal toddler foods like cheerios.

People can convince themselves that everything just apoofed into existence on its own for no reason, but they cannot deny that Savannah could not digest food, but now she can.  Savannah is The Impossible Girl, because she can eat when it is impossible for her to be able to eat.

Savannah was also born deaf, with no possibility according to medical science of ever hearing, and yet today she has normal hearing.  I laid my own, somewhat defective, hands on her, commanded her to hear in the name of the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ), and instantly she began to hear.

Even after she could hear, she had trouble learning to speak.  We all had to learn sign language to talk to her, but eventually she started to talk.  Today, she not only speaks English proficiently, but also has a degree in Japanese.  She will soon be taking her N4 proficiency exam, which would allow her to work as a translator.  (Japanese is rated by linguists as the hardest language on Earth for native English speakers to learn.)

People can convince themselves that everything just apoofed into existence on its own for no reason, but they cannot deny that Savannah was born deaf, but now she can hear.  Savannah is The Impossible Girl, because she can hear when it is impossible for her to be able to hear.

Also Savannah was not growing muscle, even though her bones and organs were growing, after she was born.  By the time that she was diagnosed with this condition at two years of age, the condition should have already killed her.  Yet, she had not died from this rarely diagnosed and deadly condition.  (Most sudden infant death syndrome victims are thought to have died from this same condition.  The heart and diaphragm are both muscles that the body cannot live without growing as an infant.)

One day, my wife handed me the phone to talk to one of the research doctors, who had conducted the test that had confirmed her rare and deadly condition.  The only thing that this research doctor wanted to know, was why Savannah was not dead.

After the diagnosis that she was not growing muscle, because her body was not producing carnitine, her muscle began to grow slowly with the aid of Carnitor, a medicine that put carnitine in her blood stream.  Finally, she began producing her own carnitine, but still not enough to be taken off of Carnitor completely.

People can convince themselves that everything just apoofed into existence on its own for no reason, but they cannot deny that Savannah has resumed growing muscle, when she should have died before she ever reached the age of two from a lack of muscle growth.  Savannah is The Impossible Girl, because her muscles grew when it is impossible for her muscles to grow.

Savannah was also born with Cerebral Palsy.  One of the issues this caused, was that her feet would curl up, and that her legs would not move on their own.  We were told that she would probably never be able to walk without assistance.

We believed that the Father of Truth would help us, and that she would walk in the name of the Man of Truth.  No one was allowed to say otherwise in our house.  We were not going to let the Father of Lies (HaShatan aka Satan Aka The Devil) have any kind of victory over her.

Originally, she could not even crawl, but instead she would drag her legs behind her while she pulled her self with her arms.  This did not deter her.   She was determined to be mobile, so she dragged herself around the house.

Eventually her legs began to have some mobility.  So she was given some shoes with braces for her legs to help her stand, and a walker.  We were instructed to encourage her to use her walker, so her leg muscles did not atrophy, but were told that she would never walk without the walker.

These shoes with braces were uncomfortable for her, because they forced her feet to flatten out some every time she took a step.  I made it a rule that she had to wear these shoes all of the time, only getting to take them off for bathing and sleeping.  The entire family watched her to make sure that she did not take her shoes off.  She could only walk without a walker, if someone held her hands and helped her walk.  I walked with her for about half a quarter mile each day, while she was wearing those shoes.

Then the day came when she walked on her own.  Shortly after that, she was wearing normal shoes.  Years later, she walked miles over the course of a day when she played golf.

People can convince themselves that everything just apoofed into existence on its own for no reason, but they cannot deny that Savannah is walking, when she should have never been able to walk.  Savannah is The Impossible Girl, because she is walking when it is impossible for her to be walking.

Another problem caused by the Cerebral Palsy was that her hands would curl up.  We were told that we had to keep her from curling her hands, to prevent them from withering, and becoming unusable.  It was thought that she probably not be able to do anything with her hands, which required fine motor skills.

However, we also believed that her hands would be normal by the same means that she would walk.  This was not wishful thinking, but confidence in what the Book of Truth (Bible) said that led to action.

The entire family watched her to make sure that she did not curl up her hands into a fist.  We made her straighten them out as far as she could, whenever we saw her curling them into a fist.

I saw that she was interested in video games, but it was very uncomfortable for her use the Nintendo controllers, because her hands had to flatten out to reach all of the buttons.  This being the case, she would do very poorly, get frustrated, and quit trying after a few minutes.  So, I forced her to play video games with someone in the family for at least an hour every day.

Her mother worked with her to take things out of thera-putty, make things with modeling clay, color pictures, cut shapes with scissors, and the like.  Sometimes she cried in frustration, but after my wife comforted her, it was back to trying again.  At times things looked hopeless, and no progress was being made, but surrender to despair was never an option.

We knew the Father of Truth and we did exploits.

There is no sign of withering in her hands today.  I take great joy watching her play her video games at a professional level of skill.  She is an amateur graphics designer, who occasionally makes things for me.  She also enjoys drawing with her drawing tablet, crocheting items, creating origami objects, and making her own cosplay costumes from scratch. 

People can convince themselves that everything just apoofed into existence on its own for no reason, but they cannot deny that Savannah does not have any withering in her hands.  Savannah is The Impossible Girl, because it is impossible for her to be doing what she does with her hands.

Savannah had obvious breathing issues since birth, but the cause was uncertain given her issues with growing muscle.  Finally, one of her doctors, a pulmonoligist, had a sweat chloride tests performed to see if she had Cystic Fibrosis when she was about a year and a half.  The test came back negative, but he was not completely convinced.

So her geneticist ran a DNA test when she was about two and a half years old.  This test confirmed that the gene responsible for Cystic Fibrosis had the required pair of defects, one from each parent.  One of the gene defects was the N1303K mutation and the other defect was not able to be identified precisely.  However, it was certain that she had one of the rarer mutations that could cause a person to have a normal sweat chloride test, even though they have Cystic Fibrosis.

When Savannah was seven years old, she contacted one of those diseases that put people with cystic fibrosis in the grave.  Medical science gave her a zero percent chance of recovery.  I was told to be realistic by many of the medical professionals, and stop saying that she was going to live contrary to all reason.

She did not die, but overcame this disease.  She did not do this due to some sort of superior immune system, for her immune system is actually severely compromised from an IGA deficiency, and other genetic defects.

People can convince themselves that everything just apoofed into existence on its own for no reason, but they cannot deny that Savannah is alive, when when medical science had no means to keep her from dying.  Savannah is The Impossible Girl, because she is alive when it is impossible for her to be alive.

Another one of her complications from Cystic Fibrosis was a deteriorating pancreas.  Basically her pancreas and other digestive organs get clogged up with the sticky mucus that Cystic Fibrosis produces.  As this clogging progresses, less and less of what these organs produce is able to get excreted to where it is needed.  This is why so many Cystic Fibrosis patients have to eat much more food than other people just to stay alive, but can still end up looking like living skeletons.  Their stomach might be full, but their body is still starving.

In the case of Savannah, the pancreatic enzymes that are needed to digest her food were not being created.  Medical science had created a medicine called Pancrecarb to replace the enzymes that her pancreas was not excreting.  However, medical science has not yet created a medicine to unclog the digestive organs.  This means that while medical science can do something to help with the symptoms, it really cannot do anything about the cause.  As a result, Cystic Fibrosis patients who have to take Pancrecarb have to do so for the rest of their life, because the pancreas can only become more clogged, but never less clogged.

However, the Father of Truth showed Himself strong on our behalf once again.  He made the pancreas, and this was no problem for Him.  He heard my prayers, and completely unclogged her pancreas, and other digestive organs, when she was eight years old.  She has never had to take Pancrecarb again.

People can convince themselves that everything just apoofed into existence on its own for no reason, but they cannot deny that Savannah has a fully working pancreas, when she should have been on Pancrecarb for the rest of her life.  Savannah is The Impossible Girl, because she is digesting food when it is impossible for her to be doing so on her own.

When Savannah was ten years old, she went into a medical induced coma, caused by a drug interdiction that has killed everyone else who has ever had it.  In fact, the exact words of the neurologist handling her case was, "It is impossible for her not to die", when I told him that she was going be alright.

Once again, we did not follow the script that medical science had written.  We followed the script that I had heard from the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost) instead.  After ten days of being as good as dead, Savannah came out of that coma, and into the best health of her life so far.

People can convince themselves that everything just apoofed into existence on its own for no reason, but they cannot deny that Savannah was awaken out of that coma, when she should have died in that coma.  Savannah is The Impossible Girl, because she is awake when it is impossible for her to be awake.

Another complication that came from Cerebral Palsy was Petite Mal Seizures.  Petite Mal Seizures are where the brain just completely freezes for a minute or so without warning.  When someone has one, they just stare off into space, and are completely unaware of what is going on around them.  When it is over, they are usually unaware that they have had one, unless something occurred during the seizure.  For example, if they were playing a video game, they might have been winning before the seizure, but after the seizure they find that they have lost, even though they have no memory of losing.

Savannah would have these seizures at random, sometimes several times a day.

Needless to say, people who have random Petite Mal Seizures are not allowed to drive a car.  A number of other things are generally discouraged as well, like operating a chain saw or a sewing machine.

Savannah not only had random Petite Mal Seizures, but also had at least one Grand Mal Seizure.  A Grand Mal Seizure is more commonly called an epileptic seizure.  She did this while visiting the neurologist about the Petite Mal Seizures.  So the neurologist prescribed her phenobarbital.

These pills turned her into a zombie, so we decided to ditch them, and trust the Father of Truth to heal her instead.  The random seizures stopped when she was thirteen, and she has not had one since.  (She can still have a triggered Petite Mal Seizure under certain predictable circumstances that she can avoid, but she no longer has them at random.)

The doctors ran EEG scans quarterly, until they stopped finding evidence of her having any more random seizures.  This is in defiance of the static encephalopathy (unchanging brain damage) that shows up scattered across her brain when she has an MRI scan.

So her neurologist filled out the paper work to give her permission to get an unrestricted license to drive a car.  She also uses a sewing machine for making costumes.

Not only has she stopped having random seizures, but her brain operates way beyond average.  For example, she was so sick one year that she missed all but the last six weeks of school.  When school ended, she had not only caught up with the class, but she was actually ahead of most of the class.

She missed being a national merit scholar by one point.  She was forced to take the test, due to the inflexibility of the test giver, the day before she went into the hospital.  She clearly was not at her best, and there is no doubt she would have done better, if she could have taken the test after her stay in the hospital.

She has done many other things like this, even though parts of her brain continue to be effectively dead.

People can convince themselves that everything just apoofed into existence on its own for no reason, but they cannot deny that Savannah no longer has random seizures, even though the cause of the random seizures still remains.  Savannah is The Impossible Girl, because her brain is functionally way beyond normal, when it is impossible for it to not be functioning below normal.

When Savannah was 16, her primary doctor gave us paperwork from a research hospital in Israel.  This research hospital was doing a study on a particularly rare Cystic Fibrosis gene defect that Savannah appears to have, and wanted her to come over so they could study it.

The study was being backed by an Israeli billionaire, who offered to pay for the transportation, food, and lodging of our entire family.  This billionaire was also going give us a monthly stipend of spending money, if we would agree for Savannah to participate in the study.  This particular study lasted for an entire year.

This is not particularly rare in Israel.  More than half of the Nobel prizes for science won by Israelis, are in the area of medicine.  Much of this research is financed by Israeli billionaires like Eitan Wertheimer, who sometimes even create hospitals like the Rambam hospital, and sponsor medical research centers like the Rappaport Research Center, that are part of the hospital.  They frequently sponsor research volunteers from other countries, particularly if people with the right combination of inclusion and exclusion factors cannot be found in Israel.  Americans are among their favorite volunteers due to the agreements between the US and Israel regarding medical tourism.  They are especially willing to pay to have the right research volunteers for clinical trials, since these are needed to get approval from the FDA, before the Israeli solutions can be sold in the American market.

The researchers especially wanted Savannah for two reasons.  The primary one was the extremely rare Cystic Fibrosis gene defect that she exhibited symptoms of.  (The only test for this exact defect in the world was conducted in Israel at the time, so the only way to know for sure was to have them conduct the test.)

The secondary reason that they selected her was to run tests to see if they could determine, why she was alive and improving, when it was clearly impossible for her to not be dead.  They thought if they could isolate something to account for her impossible recovery, then they could replicate it, and apply it to other Cystic Fibrosis patients.  They reasoned that they might even be able to apply what they learned to other medical conditions as well, since Savannah had multiple conditions that medical science classified as incurable and 100% fatal.

In the end though, Savannah did not go to Israel.  If she had, then they would have ran those tests in vain, because she did not survive and thrive against all odds because of anything in her body.  The Impossible Girl has only survived and thrived because of the Man of Truth.

People can convince themselves that everything just apoofed into existence on its own for no reason, but they cannot deny that Savannah has survived and thrived, when medical science expected her to shrivel up and die.  Savannah is The Impossible Girl, because she has thrived, when it is impossible for her to have even survived.

Since that time, Savannah has faced new obstacles.  At one point, when things took a turn for the worse, and things looked hopeless once again, the Father of Truth gave her an impossible dream one night.  This dream strengthened her resolve, and showed her the direction that she should go.

Mastering Japanese was only the first step needed for that impossible dream to come to pass.  There is so much more, and all of it is impossible for her to do on her own.  She will soon be starting the next part of this impossible journey.

There is a reason why The Impossible Girl continues to do what is impossible to this day.

This healing came because we know where sickness comes from.  It came because of whose report we believed.  This healing came from removing the roadblocks that prevent the Children of Truth (those who obey The Father of Truth because they love Him) from being healed.  It came because we knew that sickness was the chastening of the Lord, only in cases of willful disobedience to the instructions of the Father of Truth  It came because we knew, that when medical science had done all that it could, there was a still doctor in the house, who specialized in impossible cases.

The impossible happened from pursuing the fastest way to victory!  It happened because we are determined to not experience the loss of power that comes from resisting the Spirit of Truth!  It happened because we learned how to turn on the power of the Spirit of Truth!  It happened because our faith was built up when we released the sound of power!

We never gave into despair, because we understood that resistance is essential!  We persisted, because we knew that the Father of Truth turns the most adverse circumstances into the waters of salvation!

Some people do not believe in miracles, but we live with one.  We do not only believe in miracles, but we count on them.  Savannah is literally living proof that the Book of Truth is true in everything that it says.

The Impossible Girl is just one of many reasons to not believe that everything just apoofed into existence on its own for no reason.  It is absurd to believe the greatest fairy tale ever told.  In fact, the creation myth of human secularism contradicts the story told by the evidence.

The religion of human secularism is no better than Neo-Paganism.  "The Origin of the Species" is no more credible than the Book of Mormon.  This religion tries to justify every wicked thing that people can do, by claiming "My DNA made me do it".

The Impossible Girl exists to expose this lie, and show the truth found in the Book of Truth.

The Father of Truth has been healing the Impossible Girl, because we have been seeking to walk in all His ways for all of our days (Exodus 15:26).  The Impossible Girl has been healed as a sign that the message, which we have boldly proclaimed about the Man of Truth, is true (Acts 4:29-31).  The Impossible Girl has been healed, because the gifts of the Spirit of Truth are still in operation today (1 Corinthians 12:8-10).

The Impossible Girl exists so that people can leave behind their lies, and come into the House of Truth.

The Impossible Girl is proof that the Father of Truth exists, and does what is impossible for those who come into the House of Truth (Luke 18:27).  The Father of Truth has done the impossible, in raising the Man of Truth from the dead, so that all people know that they will be judged for every wicked thing they do, unless they come into the House of Truth (Acts 17:29-31).  People come into the House of Truth, when they put the Man of Truth in charge of their life, because they believe that the Father of Truth raised him from the dead (Romans 10:9).

Come into the House of Truth!

The Impossible Healthcare

How did the land of Israel become so healthy after being disease ridden for about 1900 years?

It is not possible for a land to become so disease ridden that it was a virtual death sentence to move there for over 1200 years, and then become one of the healthiest places on Earth.  Yet this is exactly what happened to the land of Israel.  That is why I say that Israel has the Impossible Healthcare.

The Romans found the health of those who lived in the land of Israel to be remarkable when they first brought Judaea into their empire under Herod the Great.  They were surprised how many people lived to a very old age there, and how much less people died from disease there, compared to their other providences.
 
Disease in the land of Israel began to increase during the Great Revolt.  The Romans brought in three additional legions from various parts of Africa, Europe, and Asia to help with the legion assigned to Judaea. 

This contributed to plagues killing great numbers of Romans, Greeks, Jews, and others in the land of Israel during this campaign.  Plagues actually killed more people than combat.  These plagues remained in the land of Israel for decades after the Great Revolt ended with the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD.

This pattern was repeated on a larger scale during the Bar Kochba Revolt that ended with the destruction of Judaea in 135 AD.  The Romans brought in over half of their entire army from all over Africa, Europe, and Asia during this war.  Then they hired mercenary armies from east of the Roman Empire in Asia, north of the Roman Empire in Europe, and south of the Roman Empire in Africa.

At the time, the Bar Kochba Revolt was largest military operation in the history of the world.  This gathering of armies from Britain to Armenia, and from Romania to Ethiopia, was the most wide spread cross contact in human history up to that point.  Many of these diverse armies brought in diseases that had never previously existed in the land of Israel.

The diseased condition of the land of Israel continued until the Byzantine Empire took control in 390 AD.  The Byzantine Empire needed the land of Israel to be occupied to serve as a buffer against the Sassanid Empire and to support its thriving "Holy Land" tourism business, so it encouraged Jews to move back to the land of Israel, except for Jerusalem.  The strategy was to bring enough Jews, religious professionals, soldiers and the like into the land of Israel at a rate that matched the death rate from these various diseases.  It worked for the most part, even though it created a booming funeral business.

Things took a decided turn for the worst when the Arab Caliphates began to take over the land of Israel in 636 AD.   Many of the Jews who lived in the land of Israel were killed during the war to take control of the land of Israel.  Many more fled to Khazaria where they would receive better treatment.

The Arabs lacked the sanitation practices of the Jews, so diseases increased more thanks to a great increase in the number of flies in the land of Israel.  Then to make matters even worse, the Arabs introduced water buffaloes into the Hula Swamp shortly after 700 AD.

The source of much disease in the land of Israel was the Hula Swamp (aka Hula Lake), north of the Sea of Galilee, which really more of a swamp than a lake.  This swamp was about five square miles (thirteen square kilometers) and only three feet (1 meters) deep in the middle during the winter.  During the summer, it rise to five feet deep (1.5 meters) in the middle, and filled large parts of the surrounding Hula Valley with a shallow marsh, as it doubled its surface area.

It attracted wildlife from north of the land of Israel for its water, as well as migratory birds.  Papyrus reeds grew abundantly in its shallow waters.  All of these conditions made it possibly the most perfect mosquito farm in the world.

This giant puddle had plenty of shallow water for the mosquitoes to lay their eggs in.  The papyrus reeds supplied the sap that mosquitoes eat most of the time.  The visiting wildlife and migratory birds supplied the blood that the female mosquitoes needed when it was time for them to lay their eggs.

The limiting factor on the mosquito population of the Hula Swamp was the transitory nature of the blood donors.  The wildlife came in for a drink and left, in larger numbers during the winter.  The birds visited each spring and fall as they carried out their migration pattern.  The Jews had farms in the Hula Valley that surrounded the Hula Swamp, but they mostly grew fruits and vegetables, with very few animals.  These farm animals only went to the swamp to drink water occasionally, during the summer, the peak mosquito season.

However, the water buffaloes that the Arabs brought in became permanent residences of the swamp.  These large animals created an always available supply of blood needed by the female mosquitoes.  This allowed the population of mosquitoes to really take off.

Water buffalo are also generally more disease resistant than people.  These water buffalo became carriers of mosquito borne diseases.  This caused a cycle of young water buffalo being infected with new diseases by mosquito bites, and then the next generation of mosquitoes would become carriers of those same diseases, when they bit older water buffalo.  This cycle ensured that no mosquito borne disease would ever die out among the mosquitoes that thrived in the Hula Swamp. This also made it more likely that each female mosquito would transmit a deadly disease like malaria, when a person was bitten.

Soon nothing lived in the Hula Valley except for great swarms of mosquitoes, the transitory wildlife, the migratory birds, the feral water buffaloes that remained, and black skinned Bedouins.

Black skinned Bedouins faced terrible persecution in the land of Israel, and the nearby countries, ever since the Arab Caliphate began to take control of those countries.  They were frequently referred to as "false Arabs" by other Arabs in places like Iraq, particularly if their father was not an Arab - even if their mother was an Arab.  They frequently had to separate themselves and live in isolated, nomadic communities - if they wanted to live at all.  So they moved into the Hula Valley, because no one else would live there.

These mosquitoes did not limit themselves to spreading disease among the blacks skinned Bedouins who live in the Hula Valley.  Many mosquitoes would swarm down the Jordan river to the Dead Sea, going up the tributaries along the way.  Once they reached the Dead Sea, then they would swarm up the other streams that emptied into it as well.  One of these streams was the Kidron brook that had its source near Jerusalem.

Other mosquitoes would swarm short distances to the sources of streams to the west of the Jordan River valley, particularly in the Galilee.  These mosquito swarms would then follow these streams until they finally reached the Mediterranean Sea.

So most of the the land of Israel from Beersheba northward became heavily infested with disease carrying flies and mosquitoes.  This made things decidedly worse.

Cross contamination between people had been the primary mechanism of the spread of disease before the Arabs took control of the land of Israel.  After they took control, a more deadly threat darkened the skies of the land of Israel.

Then the Crusaders made things even worse when they took control of the land of Israel in 1099 AD.  Their sanitation might have even been worse than the Arabs.  In fact, many of them were in the habit of literally throwing their trash and filth into the street.  This caused another increase in the fly population of the land of Israel.

They also brought in a continuous flow of Europeans from areas that had been far outside of the Roman Empire, when they revived the "Holy Land" tourist business in the land of Israel.  The Crusaders and their European customers brought new diseases for the flies and mosquitoes to carry.

When the Ayyubid Sultanate invaded the land of Israel in 1187 AD, they also possibly introduced new diseases.  It is certain that the Mongols, who the Crusaders hired to fight the invading Ayyubid Sultanate, introduced new Asian diseases to be carried by the flies and mosquitoes.

In like manner, the Mamluk Sultanate introduced new African diseases during the thirty one year long war for control of the land of Israel that they started in 1260 AD.

When the Ottoman Empire took control of the land of Israel in 1517 AD, they found that the land of Israel was so full of disease that they could not hardly get anyone to move there.  So, they began to let Jews move back into the land of Israel, so they could find some way to collect taxes to pay for defending this vital link between their African holdings and their Asian holdings against the Arabs.  This lead to some Sephardic and Ashkenazi Jews moving to the land of Israel from the New World.  They in turn introduced New World diseases for the flies and mosquitoes to carry as well.

Every empire that conquered the land of Israel during this time had tried to establish an ongoing population there, but the rampant plagues and diseases always ended up devouring those populations.  Populations could only be maintained in the land of Israel as long as there was a constant stream of new immigrants to replace those who had died from the various diseases.

This was still the case when Christian Zionists sent missionaries to the land of Israel to prepare for the return of the Jewish people.  The missionaries, who went to the northern parts of coastal Israel around 1840 AD, reported that there was virtually no one in the land of Israel to bring the Good News to, other than a few coastal towns, black skinned Bedouins in the Hula Swamp, and some Jews in a few other cities, including Jerusalem.  (Most of the Arab tenant farmers of the Ottoman Empire in the land of Israel had been deported to Egypt after the Peasant's Revolt of 1834 AD.)  Except for the Hula Swamp, people were pretty much confined to about ten cities, and the land close to those cities.

Those missionaries who went to the land of Israel in those days, went there expecting to die there, much like those who went to sub-Sahara Africa in the same time period.  They packed their belongings in coffins to save shipping expenses.

These missionaries set up medical missions that created the first meaningful advances in combating disease since the Byzantine Empire had lost control of the land of Israel.  They went into the Hula Swamp to help the black skinned Bedouins, who had only been able to survive in the Hula Swamp due to a very high birthrate that offset the very high death rate from malaria.  They also taught better sanitation and hygiene practices to the Gentiles that they found in the land of Israel.

Still, the conditions of the land of Israel, and particularly Jerusalem, were so dismal that Mark Twain stated that he could not understand why anyone had ever fought to gain control of the land of Israel and Jerusalem, after his visit in 1867 AD.

The land of Israel had been so full of disease that it acted as an effective barrier between the Muslim populations in the Middle East and those in North Africa, despite its location that made it a land bridge between the two regions.  The Hula Swamp, north of the Sea of Galilee, was the home of so many disease carrying mosquitoes, that the Arabs would not even pass through the land of Israel.  Instead, the Arabs would sail to Egypt from the Arabian coast just to avoid traveling through the land of Israel.  This is one reason why Mark Twain did not encounter one single person in three or four days of travel as he made his way from Haifa to Jerusalem.

The land of Israel was still so full of disease by the time that the Ashkenazi Jews began streaming into Israel in 1870 AD, that no one would live there, except for a few die hard Jews in ten cities, some really committed missionaries, a few desperate black skin Bedouins who lived along the Hula Swamp to escape persecution, some Arabs who had returned to be tenant workers for Ottoman Turks who owned the land, and religious professionals that went there to maintain various religious sites.

Even after Ashkenazi Jews first began streaming into Israel in 1870 AD, plagues would occasionally run rampant through Jerusalem that would kill half of the people living there in a short time.

The only real effort to fight these deadly diseases was those of the Christian Zionist missionaries.    Christian Zionists opened hospitals in Jerusalem and other places in the land of Israel. The first pediatric hospital in Jerusalem was opened by a Christian in 1872 AD.

Yet even though the tide was slowly turning, the land of Israel was still full of disease.  For example, Eliezer Ben Yehudah lost his wife and three of his children in a period of ten days from diseases, shortly after moving to Jerusalem in 1881 AD.

The Ashkenazi Jews began working to create their own healthcare system around 1900 AD.  First, Baron Rothschild hired a Jewish doctor to make a circuit around various Jewish farming communities and run a pharmacy in Jaffa.  Then in 1902 AD, the first Jewish hospital was opened in Jerusalem.  Next, in 1911 AD, the first Jewish health insurance company was formed, so Jews in the land of Israel could self fund their healthcare, instead of being dependent upon foreign aid.

Then the Ottoman Empire closed all Jewish hospitals, confiscated all of the Jewish medical equipment, and drafted the Jewish doctors into their army during World War I.

When the British took control of the land of Israel in 1917 AD, there was no healthcare system in the land of Israel.  So in 1918 AD, the American Zionist Medical Unit (aka Hadassah) was established to rebuild the healthcare system in the land of Israel.  By 1922 AD, the healthcare system had not only been rebuilt, but expanded to include new hospitals in Jaffa, Safed, Tiberias, and Haifa.

Also in 1922 AD, the British enforced greatly improved sanitation standards across the entire land of Israel, and mandatory vaccinations against diseases like smallpox.  This effectively ended the problem of excessive flies and the diseases that they spread.

Then in 1927 AD, Hadassah began working on eradicating malaria in the land of Israel.  The British authorities took over the effort with the assistance of the Zionist Commission headed by Chaim Weizmann in 1929 AD.

In 1930 AD, the Ashkenazi Jews resumed creating their own self-funded healthcare system, again.  By the time that the State of Israel was declared in 1948 AD, the Jews in the land of Israel had created new hospitals, clinics, and medical schools.

Finally, in 1951 AD the Jewish National Fund began working to drain the Hula Swamp.  The project was completed in 1958 AD, bringing an end to the massive swarms of disease carrying mosquitoes that the Arabs had inadvertently created over 1200 years earlier.

The skies of Israel were no longer darkened by swarms of disease carrying flies and mosquitoes.

Today, Israel is ranked as the sixth healthiest nation on Earth.

Men in Israel have the second highest life expectancy for men in the world, and Israel has the eighth highest life expectancy on average in the world.  (It would likely beat out Japan for the highest life expectancy in the world, if those killed in combat and by terrorists, were not pulling down the average.)  The infant mortality rate is very low and the survival rate of child delivery is very high.

Every citizen in Israel, Jew, Arab, or otherwise, has health insurance and access to the healthcare system.

Israel is home to some of the greatest hospitals in the world.  Israel has also become home of some of the greatest medical research facilities in the world.

Many of the greatest medical devices in modern times were invented in Israel, like the PillCam.  Another one is ReWalk, a robotic exoskeleton that allow paraplegics to walk.  Jews in Israel have pioneered things like artificial kidneys and livers, that show promise as an alternative to transplants to replace these organs when they cannot be saved.  The first medicine that could cure any of the thousands of varieties of Cystic Fibrosis was developed in Israel, and research continues there to build on that success to develop a cure for not just Cystic Fibrosis, but for all genetic diseases.

The impossible has happened.

How could have all of this happened?

This is the work of the Greatest Zionist. 

The Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) has being returning the land of Israel back to being a land of health and healing, after being a place that no one wanted to live in (Jeremiah 30:17).  He has been causing the land of Israel to be a place of abundant health and healing (Jeremiah 33:6).  He has been causing the land of Israel to no longer devour those who live in it with disease (Ezekiel 36:14).

The Father of Truth has been healing the people of Israel in the land of Israel (Psalm 147:2-3).  He has been healing those who live in the land of Israel after almost 1900 years of chastising them with devastating diseases (Hosea 6:1-2).

The Father of Truth does not just want to make the impossible happen concerning the health of Israel, but He wants to make the impossible happen concerning your health. He wants you to come into the House of Truth and enroll in the best healthcare plan ever.

Like the land of Israel, the Father of Truth wants to restore the health of all people - not just the Jews (Psalm 67:2-4).  He will heal people from any ethnic group, who will humble themselves and repent of their sin (Isaiah 57:15-19).

Like the land of Israel, the Father of Truth wants you to heal you from every disease, by walking in His ways (Exodus 15:26).   He wants to forgive your sins, heal you from every disease, and redeem your life from destruction (Psalm 103:2-4).

Like the land of Israel, a way has been made for you to be healed that has already been paid for.  The Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) was beaten for your healing when he died for your sins (Isaiah 53:4-6).  There is healing in his wings for those who fear to speak the name of the Father of Truth causally (Malachi 4:2).  The Shepherd of your soul was beaten with a whip, so you could be healed by his stripes (1 Peter 2:24-25)!

Like the land of Israel, a healthcare system has been put in place.  The Man of Truth has commissioned the Children of Truth (those who obey The Father of Truth because they love Him) to lay hands on the sick, so that they can recover from every illness (Mark 16:17-18).  The Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost) has given some of the Children of Truth the gift to heal others (1 Corinthians 12:8-10).  The Father of Truth has given some among the Children of Truth the gift of healing, so that no one who comes into the House of Truth has to remain sick (1 Corinthians 12:28-30).  He has provided the means for the Children of Truth to be healed of every disease by the prayers of other Children of Truth, when they repent of their sins (James 5:14-16).

Like the land of Israel, the Father of Truth sent the Word of Truth to heal the disease brought about by sin (Psalm 107:17-20).  He wants you to let the Word of Truth into your heart, so all of your flesh can enjoy health (Proverbs 4:20-22).  He wants you to come into the House of Truth, by following the orders of the Man of Truth, the Great Physician, because you believe that He healed the Man of Truth from death (Romans 10:9-11).  He desires for you to live in the House of Truth, so your soul can prosper and your body be in health (3 John 1:2-4).

Come into the House of Truth!

The Fastest Way To Victory!

What is the fastest way to victory?

There is no shortage of plans that are supposed to help people achieve success.  Many of these plans advertise how people can get rich by creating a successful business - often using other people's money.  Often the advice of these books is like a legal case that I read about once.

During the Great Depression, a man took out a classified advertisement in the New York Times that said something like this, "Want to learn how to become a millionaire?  Send $1 in a S.A.S.E to this address....".  Hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers answered the ad.  True to the ad, each received a piece of paper back in their envelope with the plan to become a millionaire.  The plan was one sentence long and said, "Get 1 million people to send you a dollar.".

The man was eventually dragged into court by unhappy customers.  However, the judge ruled that he had not scammed anyone, since anyone who carried out his plan really would become a millionaire.  The man retired a millionaire and everyone who bought his self-help plan ended up one dollar poorer.

Of course, not everyone measures success in terms of money.  I got off the hamster wheel of pursuing bigger, better, newer things a long time ago.

One of the things that I measure success by is the times that the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) has shown Himself strong on my behalf.

For example, my youngest daughter Savannah, has six conditions that according to medical science are incurable and 100% fatal.  Families with just one of theses conditions, Cystic Fibrosis, have a 98% divorce rate and a 98% bankruptcy rate.  On top of that, I spent four of the last eight years unemployed.

Yet despite the Obama years being hard on my wallet, we did not go bankrupt and we did not get divorced.  We did not lose our house, but we did manage to get a new roof and our foundation repaired.  We also still managed to finish sending my older daughter Miranda to a private university, so she could carry out His plan for her life.  When I called out to the Father of Truth, He answered!

This sort of thing was nothing new for us. It has been going on for a long time.  For example, the Father of Truth has shown Himself strong on behalf of Savannah numerous times over the last twenty-three years.

Savannah had been born deaf, although I am not sure if she was totally deaf, or just mostly deaf.  It seemed that Savannah could hear my voice, but no other voice or sound.  Perhaps she was only responding to my presence, instead of my voice.

My wife was greatly distressed by this.  One day, she told me to do something about it for what seemed like the one hundredth time.  I was tired of hearing about this from my wife, so I went over to Savannah, laid my hands on her, and commanded her to hear.  She instantly started hearing sounds other than my voice and I finally got some peace from wife about this.

When Savannah was two years old, my wife handed me the phone to talk to a doctor at a research hospital in California.  The doctor on the other end explained that one of the conditions that my daughter had diagnosed with a week earlier, usually killed those who had it before they were six months old.  The doctor wanted to know why Savannah was still alive.

I told the doctor that Savannah was still alive, because I had followed the leading of the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost).  I  told the doctor that I had been led to make a concoction of coffee, chocolate ice cream, bananas, peanut butter, raw eggs, milk, and cayenne pepper.  This was then liquefied in a blender.  She had pretty much lived on this concoction, since she was a few months old.

The doctor proceeded to tell me that I should not be giving a baby things like chocolate and cayenne pepper.  I reminded the doctor that she had asked me what I had done.  She may have been skeptical of even the existence of the Spirit of Truth, but she could not deny the results.  She was the one who told me that my daughter was alive when she should have been dead.

When Savannah was seven, I was given the whole "your daughter is not going to make it, plan the funeral" speech by her main doctor in the hospital.  At that same time, I had an opportunity at work to take out a million dollar life insurance policy on every member of my family.  This may have seemed like a no-brainer to most people.  According to the doctor my daughter was doomed to die within days, and for less than a hundred dollar investment I could collect one million dollars when she died. 

The only problem was, that I was not cooperating. 

I refused to buy the insurance.  Instead, I was betting against all odds that the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) would cause my daughter to recover.  I told her doctor that she would live and not die, so she could fulfill the purpose that the Father of Truth had made her for.  Her doctor was one of the Children of Truth himself, but he still asked me if I understood the seriousness of the situation.  I told him that I did, but I also understood what a great savior that the Man of Truth was.

Then what medical science said was impossible to happen, happened.  My daughter got better and came home.  She has never had another period of time where she was either in the hospital or home on IVs for almost a year, since that time.  The Man of Truth had stood between her and death.

Three years later, one Friday night, my wife and I both felt like we were supposed to go to this small Messianic congregation on the other side of the metroplex.  We had only been there once before and did not really know anyone.  We were quite content with the congregation that we were attending.  Nonetheless, we got in car and made the half hour drive, arriving just in time for their Shabbat evening service.

A young man was speaking there instead of the Rabbi.  He said some very interesting things that I mentally filed away to investigate later.  Still, we did not know why we were there.

After he was done speaking, a woman, whom I never met before in my life starting telling me a bunch of things that had happened to me in the past, and then some things that would happen to me in the future.  She was absolutely right about every single past event.  So far, many of the future events have come to pass as well.

When she was done telling me these things, she paused and then looked right at me to be sure she had my full attention.  Then she said the strangest thing to me.  She said, "And you will soon know that God loves you.".

I had no idea what she meant by that.  I already knew that the Father of Truth loved me.  He had given His son to die for my sins.  He had shown Himself strong on my behalf so many times.  Still, I could not dismiss her words.  They stuck with me for days.

Later, I asked the young man who had been speaking about the woman.  He told me that she just shows up once in a while in the congregation.  He then explained that when she does, she always does something like that.  He finished by telling me that something always happens to confirm that her message was from the Spirit of Truth.

My wife and I knew that this woman was the reason that the Spirit of Truth had led us to go to a strange congregation at a irregular time.

About a month later, I learned why all of this had happened.

My daughter was in the hospital again and was supposed to get out on Christmas Eve.  I had seen her the night before, just like I have done every day that she has been in the hospital.  She had been doing much better and was ready to come home the next day.  We were all looking forward to our time together when all of our kids would be out of school for Christmas break.

I had taken the week off between Christmas and New Year's Day.  I was busy wrapping up my work, so there nothing left incomplete while I was on vacation.  Early in the morning, I got a frantic call from a friend of our family telling me something about Savannah and Julie.  I really could not understand what she was saying, except that Savannah was in ICU and I needed come quickly.

The night before when I was praying, I heard the Spirit of Truth tell me that everything was going to be alright.  The more she talked, the stronger the Spirit of Truth witnessed to me that everything was going to be alright.  So I told her that I had finish up a couple of things, and then I would be there as soon as I could.  Then I finished wrapping up my work.

When I got to the hospital I went to the floor where Savannah had been staying, and then went to the pediatrics ICU.  When I asked to see her, they told me that Savannah not was in the ICU.  I went to her room and no one was there, including my daughter Miranda who had spent the night with her sister.  So I finally went to the nurse's station to find out what was going on.

The nurse told me that Savannah had been transported to a specialty ICU of another hospital, because Savannah had went into a coma.  Julie and Miranda had went with Savannah.  So I went to the room and got the rest of their things from the room.  After I loaded up the car, I drove to the other hospital to see exactly what was going on.

When I got there, I learned that Savannah was in a coma and had been put on dialysis.   I met up with my wife and told her not to worry, because the Spirit of Truth had said that everything was going to be alright.  I then asked her, if she needed anything.  She told me what she needed from the car and what she needed from home.  So I brought up a few items to her, then headed home to get the other things that she needed.

When I got home my son was still not home from work.  So I unloaded the things that they did not need from car, and then loaded it again with the things that my wife had requested.  There was still a couple of hours until my son came home.

So I prayed in the Spirit of Truth producing the sound of power, while I waited for him to get home.  While I was praying, I got very specific instructions about what to do when I got back to the hospital.

When Danny Ray came home from work, I told him what was going on.  I also told him that the Spirit of Truth had been telling me, since before Savannah had ever slipped into the coma, that everything was going to be alright.

After we arrived at the hospital, I waited for my turn to be in the room with Savannah.  My wife greeted visitors outside of the room to give me a few minutes alone with Savannah.  It was now time to carry out the instructions that the Spirit of Truth gave me.

I took my right hand, opened it like the Vulcan peace sign, placed it in the center of the chest of Savannah, and said one word, "Chaim".  Then I left the room.

By this time our pastor, Brett, was up there.  Brett has a big heart and feels things deeply.  He had been informed that Savannah was in this coma and not expected to live.  He was trying his best to keep it together, but was not really succeeding.  So I went over and told him that the Spirit of Truth had told me that everything was going to be alright.

The weeping pastor was being comforted by the father of the child in the coma.  It was a strange scene.

Then I saw her main doctor.  After he told me the situation, I told him that the Spirit of Truth had said that everything was going to be alright.  He did not even try to give me the whole "your daughter is not going to make it, plan the funeral" speech this time.

Later, I saw the neurologist who was assigned to Savannah. 

He patiently explained that one of her medications had shut down her kidneys, and this was allowing the other medication to go unfiltered into her brain.  This was causing her brain to swell uncontrollably.  He explained how long it would take the all of the blood in her body to go through the dialysis machine, and how many times it would take to filter out the medicine, that was causing her brain to swell, down to a safe level.  He told me that this would take days, during which time her brain would keep swelling more and more.  He finally explained, that not even shunting her brain would save her.  Then he gave me the whole "your daughter is not going to make it, plan the funeral" speech.

I told him, that the Spirit of Truth had told me that everything was going to be alright.

The neurologist became red in the face with anger. 

He told me about his years of experience, and that he knew what he was talking about.  He said these exact words to me, "It is impossible for your daughter not to die.".

I really did not expect one of her doctors to act like this.  I would have thought that the doctor would be happy to learn that he was not going to lose his patient.  Apparently, that was not his highest priority.

So I told him again, that the Spirit of Truth had told me that everything was going to be alright.  Then we parted company.

Over the next nine days, there was a constant stream of people who came to comfort Julie in the hospital.  Many of them thought that I was cold and unfeeling, because I was totally unconcerned about the condition of my daughter.  The truth is, it would have been a lie for me to act like I was worried about anything.  The Spirit of Truth was witnessing to my spirit that everything was going to be alright.  I literally had inside information that they were lacking.

During that time, our pastor gave me a check for about $3,500 that people in our church had given him to help us out.  Then some Jewish people from New York City, who were total strangers, heard about what was going on somehow, and also sent us checks, that totaled to about the same amount of money.

I really did not know why people kept giving us money.  I did not need it at the time.  It turned out, that the Father of Truth was taking care of needs that we would soon have, before the needs ever occurred. Once again, the Spirit of Truth was letting me know that everything was going to be alright.

(I realize now, that people were giving me money, so Savannah could have a proper burial.  They knew that I had lived on the brink of bankruptcy, so I could take care of her and her siblings.  However, the thought that I would need money to bury her had never crossed my mind.  The Spirit of Truth never stopped witnessing to me that everything was going to be alright.)

Then after ten days of Savannah being as good as dead, she did the impossible and came out of her coma.  Many of those involved were in total shock, including my pastor.

However, my family and her main doctor were not in shock.  This was not their first rodeo. 

Savannah had been beyond the ability of medical science to save before, but her father had heard from the Spirit of Truth.  They had seen this movie before and knew how it ended.

However, the news just kept getting better and better.

She had been given this combination of medications, because she had contacted a serious bacteria that was killing her.  This strain of bacteria had shown itself to be immune to almost all medications.  This combination of medications was the last resort effort to keep the bacteria from killing her.   These medications that were going around unfiltered through her body for those ten days killed off that bacteria completely.  In fact, they burned out every single bacteria and disease that was in her body.

Now the word, "Chaim" that the Spirit of Truth had told me to speak over her when I laid hands on her began to come to pass.  The Hebrew word "Chaim" does not mean "life", as it is often mistranslated.  It literally means "lives".

Soon after that, Savannah took up golf, and was finally able to have a sports life like she had always wanted.  She was able to go to school on a consistent basis for the first time in her life, so she got a school life.  She became part of a group of girls at our church and got a social life for the first time in her life.  She took up drawing and things like that, which make up an art life.  In every area, Savannah became alive where she had been dead.  She had been given lives.

The Father of Truth had not just given her health so she could have lives, but I had been given the money in advance to make it possible for her to do many of these things.

Suddenly, it all made sense.  I had been told to lay hands on her, because that is what the Book of Truth (the Bible) says to do.  The Vulcan peace sign is really how a Rabbi spreads his hands, when he blesses the congregation, when a synagogue service ends with the blessing that Aaron was told by the Father of Truth to bless the congregation with.  The right hand is the hand of blessing in the Book of Truth.  So I was putting the symbol of blessing on Savannah when I obeyed the instructions and put my right hand in the shape of the Vulcan peace sign on her chest.  Then I spoke lives into her when I finished carry out the instructions by saying that one word, "Chaim".

I finally understood what that woman had meant when she said that I would soon know that the Father of Truth loves me.

In that particular ICU, where they send the most desperate cases in Oklahoma about one out of three of them died.  During those ten days, several children who were not in near as bad a condition as Savannah died.  Shortly after that the FDA banned this combination of medications, because they did not play nice together.  Her doctor researched the matter and found that Savannah was the only person who ever lived once the kidneys shut down.

When I learned this I finally broke down and cried.  I was overwhelmed with the knowledge of how much the Father of Truth loved me.

I am sure that most of those people who had lost their child had prayed that the Father of Truth would save their child, but their child died anyways.  I have no other explanation of why the Father of Truth did this for me other than to cause me to know how much He loves me.

As the Spirit of Truth had said to me everything was alright.  The Man of Truth had once again stood between Savannah and death.  The Father of Truth had again showed Himself strong on my behalf.

After Savannah came home, the Spirit of Truth instructed me to take seven rocks out my yard, use them to build a pillar in my front yard, and anoint the pillar with olive oil as a memorial of what the Father of Truth had done for me.  Even though I was hindered terribly, I overcame those hindrances and did as I was instructed.  That pillar became a symbol of the love that the Father of Truth has shown me.  That is why it is part of the logo for this blog, and why it is my photo on Facebook.

The Father of Truth did not stop there, but has shown Himself strong on my behalf many times since then.  We do not just believe in miracles in our house - we count on them.

Her health took another turn for the worst a few years ago and Savannah felt like giving up.  Then the Father of Truth gave her a dream one night that revealed the purpose that she was made to fulfill.  She has been working to fulfill that purpose against all odds.  

Savannah is now in college.  She is about to complete her degree in Japanese, which is the first step towards getting a master's degree in international business.

The Father of Truth has always had a great purpose for Savannah.  The Father of Lies (HaShatan aka Satan Aka The Devil) has always tried to keep her from fulfilling that purpose.  This war between them over her has been going on for twenty-three years now.

This war is but one battle in a bigger war that has been going on since the time of Adam.  The Children of Truth (those who obey The Father of Truth because they love Him) have a part to play in this bigger war.  The Father of Truth works through them in this Earth.  Their victory is certain if they learn how to fight in the way that the Father of Truth desires, so He can show Himself strong on their behalf.

One of the main reasons that the Father of Truth keeps showing Himself strong on my behalf, is because I have learned the fastest way to victory.

There has never been a time in my life when I did not have extraordinary trouble compared to my peers.  I learned at a very young age that there are only three phases to my life.  One is where I am in a fight.  The second is where I am recovering from a fight.  The third is where I need to be preparing for a fight.

So after I came into the House of Truth I began learning the fastest way to victory.  I learned that the fastest way to victory is to frequently eat the breakfast of champions.

So for about a five year period I kept being led by the Spirit of Truth to fast.  This was a period when I was rarely engaged in a fight.  Yet, I ended up fasting basically every other day.

Julie would get so aggravated at me. 

She wanted to know why I was fasting all of the time, when there was nothing going on where I needed the Father of Truth to show Himself strong on my behalf.  All I could tell her was that I was being led to do this because I was preparing for a big fight.

Of course when Savannah was born, it became apparent what that big fight was.

When it comes to fasting, most of the Children of Truth tend to only think of it as something that you do in a crisis when you are desperate and you have no other option.  This is how my wife used to think of fasting, so she could not understand why the Spirit of Truth would lead me to fast when there was no crisis.

Most of the Children of Truth think that fasting is only for when they are in a crisis. 

They only fast when they face an overwhelming threat, and their only chance of victory is the Father of Truth showing Himself strong on their behalf (2 Chronicles 20:1-18).  They only fast when they need the Father of Truth to give them wisdom to deal with a crisis (Ezra 8:21-23).  They only fast when they learn of an impending crisis (Esther 4:1-3).  They only fast when they need the Father of Truth to show Himself strong on their behalf by giving them favor with those in authority, so they can divert a crisis (Esther 4:7-17).  They only fast when they are crying out to the Father of Truth to deliver them from a crisis (Esther 9:31).  They only fast when they can see that they are in a crisis (Joel 1:13-15).

However, fasting will not bring deliverance from a crisis without repentance. 

The Father of Truth will only show Himself strong on behalf of people when they fast, if they also repent of their sins (Isaiah 58).  The Father of Truth will certainly not hold back judgment, if they fast without any true repentance (Jeremiah 14:10-12).  Fasting will not divert disaster, if the Word of Truth is rejected (Jeremiah 36).  Fasting must be an outward sign of a genuine change of heart to bring about deliverance by the Father of Truth (Joel 2:12-14).  The Father of Truth will show Himself strong, when people give fasting the highest priority to show that they have returned to making Him their highest priority (Joel 2:15-18).  The Father of Truth is looking for people to fast to show genuine repentance, so He can divert judgment for their sins (Jonah 3:4-10).

So people are particularly inclined to fast when trouble comes upon them for their own sins. 

The Father of Truth sometimes shows Himself strong on behalf of people to deliver them from the results of their sins, when they fast to show that they have repented of those sins (1 Samuel 7:3-10).  However there is no guarantee that fasting will cause the Father of Truth to show Himself strong on their behalf, when they repent of their sins (2 Samuel 12:13-23).  Sometimes the best that fasting in repentance will do, is delay the judgment that comes from their sins (1 Kings 21:20-29).

Most of the Children of Truth also think that fasting is a sign of mourning over the results of a crisis. 

They fast when someone has died in a crisis (2 Samuel 1:12).  They fast when they learn of the disaster that came from the crisis, which their owns sins brought about (Nehemiah 1:1-7).  They fast in repentance to bring restoration, after the judgment of sin has happened (Daniel 9:2-20).

So in short, most of the Children of Truth only think of fasting as a crisis management tool or a disaster recovery plan.

Fasting was never meant to be a substitute for obedience to the Father of Truth. 

The Father of Truth is only certain to show Himself strong when fasting is done to deliver those who have done no wrong (Daniel 6:18-22).  The Father of Truth is more inclined to hear people and grant their requests when they hear Him and obey His commandments, than when they fast (Zechariah 7:4-14).  Living a life of obedience to the Father of Truth will do more to bring people into the House of Truth than fasting (Zechariah 8:16-23).

Fasting is meant to be part of a lifestyle of obedience that draws the Children of Truth closer to the Father of Truth. 

The Man of Truth did not fast to make up for any kind of disobedience, but rather to be obedient to the Spirit of Truth, so he could overcome every temptation of the Father of Lies to disobey the Father of Truth (Matthew 4:1-11).  When the Children of Truth humble themselves in obedience to Him, then He gives them grace to overcome their circumstances (James 4:6).  When they are obedient to the Father of Truth, then the Father of Lies flees from them when they rise up to resist him (James 4:7).  When they fast to become closer to the Father of Truth, then He moves to become closer to them when they are obedient to Him (James 4:8).  When they humble themselves by afflicting their souls with fasting, then the Father of Truth shows Himself strong on their behalf (James 4:9-10). 

That is why fasting as part of a lifestyle of obedience, is the fastest way to victory!

Fasting is something that the Children of Truth are to supposed to do, so they can draw closer to the Father of Truth.  

Moses received the instructions of the Father of Truth when he fasted (Deuteronomy 9:9-11).  Moses fasted to intercede for the Father of Truth to show mercy to others (Deuteronomy 9:18-20).  Anna, the Prophetess of Truth, served the Father of Truth constantly with fasting, so she could give witness that the Man of Truth was the Messiah of Israel (Luke 2:36-38).  Cornelius fasted, so that he could clearly hear the instructions of the Father of Truth (Acts 10:30-33).  The Apostles of Truth fasted, so they could know who put in charge of every congregation that they started, so the congregations would keep walking in obedience to the Father of Truth (Acts 14:21-23).  Fasting was was part of the lifestyle of the Apostles of Truth, so that people could see that they were ministers of the Father of Truth (2 Corinthians 6:3-5).

The Children of Truth are supposed to fast so they can hear the Spirit of Truth more clearly.

The Spirit of Truth was so strong upon Moses that his face shined, after he had spent time fasting before the Father of Truth (Exodus 34:28-30).  Elijah fasted to escape to be hidden in the secret place of the Father of Truth, where he could clearly hear the Spirit of Truth (1 Kings 19:7-9).  Peter the Jew (Sh'mon aka Simon aka Simeon aka Cephas aka The Apostle Peter) was instructed by the Spirit of Truth to tell Cornelius the Good News, when he fasted (Acts 10:9-20).  The Prophets of Truth and the Teachers of Truth ministered to the Father of Truth with fasting, so they could clearly hear the instructions of the Spirit of Truth about who to send out as Apostles of Truth to tell others about the Man of Truth (Acts 13:1-4).

The Children of Truth also gain a stronger bond with the Man of Truth when they fast. 

When they fast they identify with the fast that the Man of Truth experienced, while suffering on the cross (Psalm 69:7-10).  When they fast they are looking to the Father of Truth for deliverance, just as the Man of Truth did on the cross (Psalm 109:24-27).  They suffer the hunger comes from a loss of food in order to gain a closer relationship with the Man of Truth by suffering with him, because nothing binds men together like suffering together for a common cause (Philippians 3:7-10).

So fasting causes the Children of Truth to draw closer to the Father of Truth, more clearly hear the Spirit of Truth, and to become more like the Man of Truth.  This is why the Children of Truth should be fasting. 

Fasting as part of a lifestyle of obedience is the fastest way to victory!

This is why the Man of Truth said, that the Children of Truth were to fast, after he left this Earth. 

The Children of Truth are to fast, because they are mourning that he is not with them on this Earth (Matthew 9:14-15).  They are to fast until they are with him again (Mark 2:18-20).  They are to fast often until he returns to this Earth (Luke 5:33-35).

The Man of Truth told us why fasting as part of a lifestyle of obedience, is the fastest way to victory. 

He said that the Children of Truth are to fast to drive unbelief out of their lives - and that gives them the victory (Matthew 17:20-21)!  When the Children of Truth struggle with unbelief, then fasting helps to bring an end to the unbelief, so they can have victory over every enemy (Mark 9:24-29).

So fasting was not the fastest way to victory, because it moved the Father of Truth to be more on my side, but because it moved me to be more on His side! 

The Father of Truth shows Himself strong on behalf of those who live a lifestyle of obedience, when they cry out to Him with fasting (Psalm 145:17-19).

The fact is, that not only do most of the Children of Truth not know that the primary purpose of fasting is to draw them closer to the Father of Truth, but they do not even know how to fast.

Fasting is not just abstaining from eating food.  That is just a bad diet plan. 

Fasting is afflicting your soul by abstaining from things that bring pleasure to your soul, in order to spend more time with the Father of Truth (Isaiah 58:3).

Fasting does mean abstaining from food, even though that is not all there is to fasting. 

Fasting does not normally include abstaining from water for people will die without water in about four days, but some of the Children of Truth fasted for seven days in mourning (1 Chronicles 10:11-13).  Whenever people have gone a while without food, then they are fasting (Matthew 15:32).  Fasting continues until the fast is broken by eating food (Acts 27:33).

Fasting also means abstaining from sex.

 Men are not to approach their wives for sex when they are going to draw near to the Father of Truth (Exodus 19:15-17).  For this reason, a man can make void a vow that his wife has made to fast unto the Father of Truth on the day that he learns of it (Numbers 30:12-14).  For this reason, married couples are to only fast for a limited amount of time by mutual consent, and must resume having sex as soon as practical after the fast is over (1 Corinthians 7:3-5).

This was undoubtedly part of the frustration that my wife felt.  I knew that I was being led to fast often to prepare for a big fight, but that was not the only reason that I fasted often.  I had found that spending time with the Spirit of Truth was better than sex.  I was totally addicted to fasting and I hurt my wife without realizing it, by fasting all of the time.

So it is important that couples are honest with each other and tell their spouse to end their fast, because they need sex.  The fast has to end when this occurs unless they had agreed for it to go longer ahead of time.

Fasting is not to bring pleasure to the Children of Truth by doing things to draw attention to their fasting, so others will admire how devoted that they are. 

The Children of Truth are to take baths and wear clean clothes, when they are going to draw near to the Father of Truth (Exodus 19:14-17).  They are not to go around with a dirty face and looking sad, so that everyone knows, that they are fasting (Matthew 6:16).  They are to hide that they are fasting by keeping their hair and face clean, because the Father of Truth will reward them in ways that everyone can see for doing so (Matthew 6:17-18).

Fasting is about doing something else, instead of things that bring pleasure to their souls. 

Fasting is about making time, to spend confessing your sins to the Father of Truth, reading the Word of Truth, and worshiping the Father of Truth (Nehemiah 9:1-3).  Fasting is making time to seek after the Father of Truth to heal the sick (Psalm 35:13).  Fasting means taking time to hear from the Spirit of Truth (Acts 13:2).  Fasting is spending time in prayer, instead of the things that bring pleasure to your soul, so you can hand your problems over to the Father of Truth (Acts 14:23).

Since most of the Children of Truth have not been taught why they need to fast, and how to fast, they also do not know when to fast. 

Is it really necessary for all of the Children of Truth to fast every other day?

The fact is, that some people do fast frequently in their efforts to draw closer to the Father of Truth, because fasting as part of a lifestyle of obedience is the fastest way to victory! 

The Pharisees and the disciples of John the Baptist (Yochanon the Mikveh Man), many of whom came into the House of Truth, fasted often (Matthew 9:14).  Many of them like Paul the Jew (Shaul aka Saul aka The Apostle Paul), continued to fast often after they came into the House of Truth (2 Corinthians 11:27).

How often did Paul the Jew, and other Jews, who came into the House of Truth fast as they continued in the discipline that they had grown up with?

They had seven yearly fasts. 

All of the firstborn males fasted on the day before Passover (Pesach), the fourteenth day of the first month, because the firstborn males were the ones who were passed over when the Father of Truth destroyed all of the firstborn males of Egypt (Exodus 12:21-29).  They fasted on the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur), the tenth day of the seventh month, because it was commanded in the Law of Truth (Leviticus 16:29-31).  They fasted on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month to commemorate the fast of Esther, that saved the Jewish people from extermination (Esther 4:16).  They fasted on the ninth day of the fifth month to mourn over the destruction of the Temple, and they fasted on the third day of the seventh month to mourn over the murder of Gedaliah, which led to them being completely exiled from the Promised Land (Zechariah 7:5).  They fasted on the seventh day of the fourth month to mourn for the breaching of the walls Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar, and they fasted on the tenth day of the tenth month to mourn for the destruction of Jerusalem (Zechariah 8:19).

On top of that, they fasted twice every week, on Mondays and Thursdays, because those days were two days after the weekly Sabbath (Saturday) and two days before the weekly Sabbath (Luke 18:12).

This means that they fasted over one hundred days per year!  This would average out to be about every third day.  So not even observant Jews, like Paul the Jew, fasted every other day after they came into the House of Truth!

So how often should people fast?

As often as they are led by the Spirit of Truth to fast, which will never contradict the commandment, to do so by mutual agreement with their spouse. 

If they cannot agree on this, then the husband could fast during times when they are to abstain from sex anyways, like between when the wife starts her monthly purification until a week after it is over (Leviticus 15:24-28).

Perhaps the only Children of Truth, who are going to be led by the Spirit of Truth to fast extraordinarily often, are those who like Paul the Jew who faced extraordinary trouble (2 Corinthians 11:23-27).  They are the ones who need the Father of Truth to show Himself strong on their behalf more often.

So what about everyone else?

When it comes to fasting like everything else, you have to start somewhere.  For many people starting anything new, particularly if it is difficult for them, is easier to do if they do it at the same time as everyone else.

Fortunately, there is a day when all of the Children of Truth should be fasting.  While there were over one hundred days per year when some of the Children of Truth, like Paul the Jew fasted, there is only day a year when all of the Children of Truth should be fasting.

The fast on the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur), on the tenth day of the seventh month on the calendar of the Father of Truth, is the only fast, that all of the Children of Truth are commanded to perform (Leviticus 23:26-28).  Every single one of the Children of Truth are commanded to fast on this day (Leviticus 23:29-31).  This fast is to start near sunset of the ninth day of the month and continues until near sunset the next day (Leviticus 23:32).  The Children of Truth are congregate together during this Fast, so that no one has to try to fast alone (Numbers 29:7).  That is why Paul the Jew called it, "The Fast" (Acts 27:9).

So the best place to start learning the fastest way to victory is with a congregation of the Children of Truth, who are walking in obedience to the commandment of the Father of Truth to fast together on the Day of Atonement.  This fast has everything to do with the Man of Truth, for it is the sixth act of the Greatest Play Ever that tells about when the Man of Truth will bring this world into total surrender to the Father of Truth.  When the Children of Truth fast during this fast, they are not only sharing in the sufferings of the Man of Truth, but they are expressing faith that they will also share in his reign over the Earth (2 Timothy 2:12)!

Fasting on the Day of Atonement, or any other day, is of very limited value unless it is accompanied by a lifestyle of obedience. 

No one can be baptized in the Spirit of Truth, unless they first come into the House of Truth, so they can live a lifestyle of obedience (Acts 2:37-39).  No one can have a lifestyle of obedience, until they come into the House of Truth by surrendering to the Man of Truth, because he is the one who the Father of Truth told Moses that everyone must obey (Acts 3:19-23).  No one can come into the House of Truth to learn how to live a lifestyle of obedience, unless they accept the Word of Truth concerning the Man of Truth (Acts 4:10-12).  The Man of Truth is the only mean, that the Father of Truth has provided for people to come into the House of Truth, so they can learn a lifestyle of obedience with the help of the Spirit of Truth (Acts 5:30-32). 

A lifestyle of obedience begins with coming into the House of Truth, by making a commitment to obey the Man of Truth, because you believe that the Father of Truth raised him from the dead (Romans 10:9).

Come into the House of Truth!
