“Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of Patriotism, who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness, these firmest props of the duties of Man and citizens. The mere Politician, equally with the pious man, ought to respect and to cherish them. A volume could not trace all their connections with private and public felicity…Let it simply be asked where is the security for property, for reputation, for life, if the sense of religious obligation desert the oaths, which are the instruments of investigation in Courts of Justice?”

Like anything in this life truth and facts must be ferreted out so carry on from here listening to the tune then read all of the text, there is a second version of the story behind the song, and then another song that nails down the significant all encapsulating meaning of “Lonely People!”
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Eleanor Rigby
Picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been
Lives in a dream
Waits at the window
Wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for?
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?
Father McKenzie
Writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear
No one comes near
Look at him working
Darning his socks in the night when there’s nobody there
What does he care?
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Eleanor Rigby
Died in the church and was buried along with her name
Nobody came
Father McKenzie
Wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave
No one was saved
All the lonely people (ah, look at all the lonely people)
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people (ah, look at all the lonely people)
Where do they all belong?

The Beatles’ “Eleanor Rigby” Lyrics Meaning
by SMF · Published February 18, 2020 · Updated February 19, 2020
“Eleanor Rigby” is a certified Beatles’ classic, indeed somewhat of a cultural phenomenon in and of itself. And as such, certain information should be established from the onset.
First is that for all intents and purpose it is safe to say that the titular character, Eleanor Rigby, was not a real person. This seems to be an idea that many fans of the song have a hard time accepting. But throughout the years, for the most part Paul McCartney, the primary writer of the tune, has contended that Miss Rigby is indeed a fictitious character. Yes, at one point he did acknowledge that his conjuring up this name may have been the subconscious result of being influenced by a particular tombstone in a graveyard he used to hang out in during his youth. But he has also contended that she is a totally-fictitious character, one whose people’s insistence to prove is real has to some degree confounded him.
Indeed at the end of the day, the factual consensus is that he got the first name of the character from an actress (Eleanor Bron) who was associated with the Beatles at the time. And the last name was derived from a liquor store (Rigby & Evens Ltd, Wine & Spirit Shippers) he was familiar with in the UK.
Father McKenzie is not real!
And the same also goes for the second character we are introduced to in this song, Father McKenzie. In fact he was originally named Father McCartney after Macca himself. But to Paul personally, this appellation invoked images of his father. And upon realizing that his dad is nothing like the character portrayed in the song, he decided to rename him.
“Eleanor Rigby” is partially based on Reality
But with those facts being established, this is not to imply that “Eleanor Rigby” does not have any basis in reality. Rather let’s say that the titular character is a composite of a number of different elderly ladies Paul McCartney used to hang out with when he was a child. Indeed he even used to run errands for them. So you can say that his sympathy for the type of person Eleanor is depicted as is real.
Narrative
Now as for the narrative itself, it centers primarily on the Beatles acknowledging “all the lonely people”. More specifically it depicts Eleanor Rigby and Father McKenzie as lonely souls themselves. And the first of the two we are introduced to is Eleanor. Interestingly enough her age is never specified. However, one peculiar characteristic she has is her tendency to ‘pick up the rice in a church where a wedding has been’. And despite this being somewhat of an unorthodox statement, it does effectively relay the fact that she is indeed lonely, perhaps even suffering from some sort of mental issues or poverty as a result.
Father McKenzie is also an interesting case. We see that he is in fact a priest of some sort or a head of a church. However, his congregation is nonexistent. Thus his loneliness is manifest by him being akin to a leader with no followers. Yet despite this, he stays committed to his profession.
Climax of the Story
So the way the story climaxes is with Eleanor Rigby eventually passing away. And sadly enough, “nobody came” to her funeral. But furthermore it is Father McKenzie who actually buries her. And so the story ends, with the Beatles apparently lamenting for “all the lonely people” throughout.
Now it’s debatable that they are trying to relay certain messages, lessons if you will, via this tale. For instance, it has been speculated by some fans that the case is presented as ideally Eleanor and Father McKenzie would have met when she was still alive, became friends and thus served as the remedy to each other’s loneliness. There is also a peculiar, ambiguous line at the end of the third verse, after Rigby is buried, which reads “no one is saved”.
Now at the time this song was dropped, the Beatles, particularly John Lennon, was going through an anti-Christian phase, so to speak. So it is honestly quite-feasible that since the church is one of the settings of this song, as well as a priest being one of its central characters, that the band is actually taking a jab at the organized religion. And if so what they would basically be pointing to is the idea of Christianity failing some of its adherents in the most-fundamental way.
Conclusion
Verily, if a listener wants to look for additional meaning in this song by examining the rich history of the Beatles, combined with the symbolic nature of some of its lyrics, there is definitely enough there to lend to varying interpretations. But by and large, the narrative featured within “Eleanor Rigby” is straightforward and easy-to-follow. That is to say that most people who appreciate the tune lyrically do so because of the parts of the song that are simple to understand. And in that regard, it is fundamentally a sad song. It is a sorrowful song centered on an old lady who lives with no one to care for her and dies with no one to bury her.
In other words it’s the type of track to invoke sympathy for those who may actually be living under such circumstances, i.e. a humanitarian tune. And at the end of the day, “Eleanor Rigby” is one of the reasons why many people feel that the Beatles were musical geniuses. They were pop artists who were able to write and recite a hit song about such thought-provoking and heart-wrenching subject matter as care for the elderly and sympathy for the lonely.
Facts about “Eleanor Rigby”
The credited writers of this song are Paul McCartney and an entity known as Lennon-McCartney. The latter would be a combination of Paul McCartney and his Beatles’ bandmate, John Lennon (1940-1980). Furthermore it is noted for being the first song which Mr. McCartney had written which was not centered on the theme of love.
The musical score of this song was composed by another Beatle, George Harrison (1943-2001). None of the Beatles themselves actually played instruments on this track. And in that regard, “Eleanor Rigby” is said to be one-of-a-kind. In this case what they did do was employ session musicians consisting of two violists, two cellists and four violinists. And
due to the complexity of the instrumental, the Beatles never played this tune live.
The producer of “Eleanor Rigby” was the Beatles co-worker on most of their hits, Sir George Martin (1926-2016).
This track originally came out on 5 August 1966 as part of the Beatles’ album entitled “Revolver”.
“Eleanor Rigby” was quite-successful. It topped the UK Singles Chart and performed likewise in Canada and New Zealand. In fact it is noted for being the top-selling song in the UK for 1966.
Moreover it peaked at number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100. Apparently it was not promoted as heavily in the United States as it was in the UK due to the religious references in the song.
“Eleanor Rigby” also earned Paul McCartney in particular a Grammy Award. This was in 1966, and it was awarded in the category of “Best Contemporary (R&R) Solo Vocal Performance – Male or Female”.
Moreover as of 2011, Rolling Stone has ranked this track at number 138 on its list of the “500 Greatest Songs of All Time”.
Popular Covers of “Eleanor Rigby”
A number of prominent artists have covered “Eleanor Rigby”, especially during its heyday. Amongst them are:
Ray Charles (1968)
Aretha Franklin (1969)
John Denver (1970)
Tony Bennett (1971)
José Feliciano (1992)
Pearl Jam (2005)
Paul McCartney also did his own remix of this song and featured it on his 1984 solo album, “Give My Regards to Broad Street”.
The Eleanor Rigby Fascination
Despite Paul McCartney acknowledging, as aforementioned, that Eleanor Rigby is not a real person, fans of the tune have still been obsessed with tracking down a real person by this name who fits the character described in the song. Indeed sometimes their efforts are borderline comedic. For instance, the aforementioned headstone in Liverpool, England (i.e. the Beatles’ hometown) which cites an “Eleanor Rigby” has accordingly become somewhat of a tourist attraction. Said headstone is even depicted on the music video to the 1995 Beatles’ track “Free as a Bird”. Moreover a document from 1911, which Paul McCartney at one time personally handled, which references a Eleanor Rigby (more specifically “E. Rigby”) was auctioned off for a whopping £115,000 pounds (approximately $250,000) in 2008.
Interesting to note is that there is also a real Eleanor Rigby statue located in the English city of Liverpool. It was erected in the aforementioned city in 1982. And interestingly, it is directly based on the character from the song.
Paul McCartney wrote most of this song. He got the name “Eleanor” from the actress Eleanor Bron, who appeared in the 1965 Beatles film Help!. “Rigby” came to him when he was in Bristol, England, and spotted a store: Rigby and Evens Ltd Wine and Spirit Shippers. He liked the name “Eleanor Rigby” because it sounded natural and matched the rhythm he wrote.
McCartney explained at the time that his songs came mostly from his imagination. Regarding this song, he said, “It just came. When I started doing the melody I developed the lyric. It all came from the first line. I wonder if there are girls called Eleanor Rigby?”
McCartney wasn’t sure what the song was going to be about until he came up with the line “picks up the rice in a church where a wedding has been.” That’s when he came up with the story of an old, lonely woman. The lyrics “wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door” are a reference to the cold-cream she wears in an effort to look younger.
The song tells the story of two lonely people. First, we meet a churchgoing woman named Eleanor Rigby, who is seen cleaning up rice after a wedding. The second verse introduces the pastor, Father McKenzie, whose sermons “no one will hear.” This could indicate that nobody in coming to his church, or that his sermons aren’t getting through to the congregation on a spiritual level. In the third verse, Eleanor dies in the church and Father McKenzie buries her.
“Father Mackenzie” was originally “Father McCartney.” Paul decided he didn’t want to freak out his dad and picked a name out of the phone book instead.
After Eleanor Rigby is buried, we learn that “no one was saved,” indicating that her soul did not elevate to heaven as promised by the church. This could be seen as a swipe at Christianity and the concept of being saved by Jesus. The song was released in August 1966 just weeks after the furor over John Lennon’s remarks, “Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. I needn’t argue about that; I’m right and I will be proved right. We’re more popular than Jesus now.”
For the most part, the song eluded controversy, possibly because the lilting string section made it easier to handle.
A string section scored by Beatles producer George Martin consisting of four violins, two violas and two cellos were used in recording. Paul may have been inspired by the classic composer Vivaldi.
The Beatles didn’t play any of the instruments on this track. All the music came from the string players, who were hired as session musicians.
Paul McCartney recounted this song’s origin story in a 2018 interview with GQ. He said: “When I was really little I lived on what was called a housing estate, which is like the projects – there were a lot of old ladies and I enjoyed sitting around with these older ladies because they had these great stories, in this case about World War II. One in particular I used to visit and I’d go shopping for her – you know, she couldn’t get out. So I had that figure in my mind of a sort of lonely old lady.
Over the years, I’ve met a couple of others, and maybe their loneliness made me empathize with them. But I thought it was a great character, so I started this song about the lonely old lady who picks up the rice in the church, who never really gets the dreams in her life. Then I added in the priest, the vicar, Father McKenzie. And so, there was just the two characters. It was like writing a short story, and it was basically on these old ladies that I had known as a kid.”
In Observer Music Monthly, November 2008, McCartney said: “These lonely old ladies were something I knew about growing up, and that was what ‘Eleanor Rigby’ was about – the fact that she died and nobody really noticed. I knew this went on.”
There is a gravestone for an Eleanor Rigby in St. Peter’s Churchyard in Woolton, England. Woolton is a suburb of Liverpool and Lennon first met McCartney at a fete at St. Peter’s Church. The gravestone bearing the name Eleanor Rigby shows that she died in October 1939, aged 44.
However Eleanor was not like the lonely people in McCartney’s song, as she was married. Another of the gravestones there has the word “McKenzie” written on it. McCartney has denied that that is the source of the names, though he has agreed that they may have registered subconsciously.
This was originally written as “Miss Daisy Hawkins.” According to Rolling Stone magazine, when McCartney first played the song for his neighbor Donovan Leitch, the words were “Ola Na Tungee, blowing his mind in the dark with a pipe full of clay.”
The lyrics were brainstormed among The Beatles. In later years, Lennon and McCartney gave different accounts of who contributed more of the words to the song.
During recording, microphones were placed very close to the instruments to create an unusual, vaguely distorted sound.
Ray Charles reached #35 US and #36 UK with his version in 1968; Aretha Franklin took it to #17 US in 1969. A year later, an instrumental by the group El Chicano went to #115. The song reached the chart again in 2008 when David Cook of American Idol fame took it to #92.
Because of the string section, this was difficult to play live, which The Beatles never did. On his 2002 Back In The US tour, Paul McCartney played this without the strings. Keyboards were used to compensate.
This song was not written in a normal chord, it is in the dorian mode – the scale you get when you play one octave up from the second note of a major scale. This is usually found in old songs such as “Scarborough Fair.”
Vanilla Fudge covered this in a slowed-down, emotional style, something they did with many songs, including hits by ‘N Sync and The Backstreet Boys. Their version of “You Keep Me Hangin’ On” was a #6 US hit in 1968. Fudge drummer Carmine Appice told Songfacts: “Most of the songs we did, we tried to take out of the realm they were in and try to put them where they were supposed to be in our eyes. ‘Eleanor Rigby’ was always a great song by The Beatles. It was done with the orchestra, but the way we did it, we put it into an eerie graveyard setting and made it spooky, the way the lyrics read. Songs like ‘Ticket To Ride,’ that’s a hurtin’ song, so we slowed it down so it wouldn’t be so happy. We would look at lyrics and the lyrics would dictate if it was feasible to do something with it or not.”
In 1966, this song took home the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Pop Vocal Performance, Male. It was awarded to Paul McCartney.
In August 1966, the long-defunct British music magazine Disc And Music Echo asked Kinks frontman Ray Davies to review the then newly released Revolver album. This is how he reacted to this song: “I bought a Haydn LP the other day and this sounds just like it. It’s all sort of quartet stuff and it sounds like they’re out to please music teachers in primary schools. I can imagine John saying: ‘I’m going to write this for my old schoolmistress’. Still it’s very commercial.”
The chorus of this song was sampled as part of Sinead O’Connor’s 1994 song “Famine,” which is based on the story of the potato famine in Ireland.
In 2008 a document came to light that showed that McCartney may have had an alternative source for the Eleanor Rigby name. In the early 1990s a lady named Annie Mawson had a job teaching music to children with learning difficulties. Annie managed to teach a severely autistic boy to play “Yellow Submarine” on the piano, which won him a Duke of Edinburgh Silver Award. She wrote to the former Beatle telling him what joy he’d brought. Months later, Annie received a brown envelope bearing a “Paul McCartney World Tour” stamp. Inside was enclosed a page from an accounts log kept by the Corporation of Liverpool, which records the wages paid in 1911 to a scullery maid working for the Liverpool City Hospital, who signed her name “E. Rigby.” There was no accompanying letter of explanation. Annie said in an interview that when she saw the name Rigby, “I realized why I’d been sent it. I feel that when you’re holding it you’re holding a bit of history.”
When the slip went up for auction later that year, McCartney told the Associated Press: “Eleanor Rigby is a totally fictitious character that I made up. If someone wants to spend money buying a document to prove a fictitious character exists, that’s fine with me.”
This was released simultaneously on August 5, 1966 on both the album Revolver and as a double A-side with “Yellow Submarine.”
The thrash band Realm covered this song on their 1988 album Endless War. It is a speed metal version of the song that got them signed to Roadrunner Records.
McCartney told Q magazine June 2010 that after recording the song, he felt he could have done better. He recalled: “I remember not liking the vocal on Eleanor Rigby, thinking, I hadn’t nailed. I listen to it now and it’s… very good. It’s a bit annoying when you do Eleanor Rigby and you’re not happy with it.”
Former US President Bill Clinton has stated that this is his favorite Beatles song.
Richie Havens covered this on his 1966 debut album, Mixed Bag, and again on his 1987 Sings Beatles and Dylan album.
God gave so much by His expression of love when he created us and all of this the seen and the unseen; then even gave Himself as the Redeemer to bridge the chasm between imperfection and corruption unto Holiness and Eternal Perfection in God’s glory for those of faith through Jesus Christ the Savior and Good Shepherd! During the Holidays of Thanksgiving and Christmas as well throughout the year we must do our best to remember these facts and truth that tells us so clearly how it is better to give than to receive!
God bless you.

“John 3:16 is one of the most well-known verses of all time. It says, “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.”

“When you defend My Word, you will be deemed to be cruel, unkind and lacking in sympathy to those who do not believe in God”
Yes it has begun as many already are serving the beast system and false god the antichrist to come upon the world stage in the short term as we are in the End Time now! Many profess inclusivity of all creeds, social orders, gender identity sexual preferences, CRT, Political Correctness, universal income or other communist agendas and all of the LGBTQ militant mindsets which are all man-made constructs based on lies and hypocrisy having nothing to do with God Almighty and His Plan for Humanity the Truth of which has been revealed by what Jesus Christ imparted to us through His complete sacrifice of Himself as the Lamb of God who came to take away all of our sins in order to cleanse our immortal souls before God to make us worthy to be in the presence of God the Father and His Absolute perfection and holiness; making us worthy and capable of being redeemed to everlasting eternal life and happiness as children of God in heaven.
Take heed and open your eyes and minds to what is going on in this out of control evil infested world which is ruled by the unholy one Satan! Look at all of this deception, governments, media, entertainment industries all pushing clever or decadent lies and see how little time you have left taking all of this mayhem as your warning to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior who does love you beyond comprehension and wants nothing to go wrong in your personal salvation which is near at hand! So you only need to accept Him now into your heart giving all of your heart to Him alone in order to be saved from eternal damnation, where so many are going but don’t you be one of them; you can make it to heaven you only need to have faith in Jesus Christ and accept His gift of love to you but no wishy-washy half-truth or pretending that you accept His gift while you also try to satisfy the world living in the Ways of this Fallen World as your primary focus or false god; that is a dead-end no matter how much anyone dreams of it not being by some man-made falsehood! We and this world all must die forever separated from God and that is because Satan contaminated it with Death in the Garden of Eden!
There is no other answer believe me in this one thing, but most important please hurry and turn to Jesus Christ; I’m only a foot soldier and screaming out to anyone listening to not be fooled! Jesus Christ is going to save you from all harm and death just pray to Him to come into your heart now; He hears you and the Father in heaven will send you the Comforter the Holy Spirit to guide you with Jesus leading you with His right hand!
God Bless You!

My dearly beloved daughter, how I weep with sadness when I see the terrible division which looms within My Church on Earth.The bitterness of My Agony is eased though, by those who truly love Me and who already feel concern for the way in which My Body is being treated.
You must never feel the need to accept any deed, action or words which are against Me.If you feel uncomfortable with what you witness, within my Church, by those who swear that they are in union with Me, when they desecrate My Body,you must follow your heart.I Am with you every second of this great apostasy and for those who will…
“Peter moved into God’s call that believers live holy lives, to be a holy people as God is holy.”
This is what all people should be doing but exceedingly far too many are absolutely not; so thus look at the condition of this human race which is becoming far less human all of the time!
But herein you have provided the absolute cure for what ails the very sickly or the whole human race; each and every one of us! Remarkably this cure was given to us thousands of years ago, but yet we now live in a most horribly twisted world where practically everyone thinks they have their own cures and know better what they should do to achieve a good life here while not so concerned if at all about what comes after its over; living for today and the gut!
I now want to repeat what you wrote here and then over and over until it sinks in completely!
“Peter then gave practical ways to live out that call to holiness and being honorable.
1. Be built up into a spiritual house, and be the spiritual priesthood as well.
2. Abstain from worldly desires.
3. Honor everyone, and particularly honor earthly authorities, as well as willingly cooperate with them.
4. Love the brothers and sisters in Christ, from the heart.
5. Peter likened the lot of the enslaved with Jesus when he was crucified. They were to follow Christ’s example in accepting authority and enduring suffering, whether they deserved it or not
6. Now, Peter would address how to live honorably for those married to nonChristians.”
Again you have provided an excellent illustration of truth, Professor and Sister in Christ Jesus! Thank you!
God bless you.
Brother in Christ Jesus,
Lawrence
Peter’s letter has a flow to it that the chapter breaks somewhat obscure. From praise and thanksgiving over the glorious joy of their salvation, Peter moved into God’s call that believers live holy lives, to be a holy people as God is holy.
He was already writing to those who lived throughout what is called the Diaspora—those of Jewish descent whose ancestors had been taken captive and exiled to live outside of Israel.
Now, Israel was no more, and the area where God had given their forebears their ancient inheritance was now called Palestine and folded into the Roman Empire. True, place names persisted. There was Jerusalem on Mount Zion, surrounded by Judah, now called Judea. There was Samaria to the north, and Galilee past that. But the truth was, there was no Israel for the Diaspora to return to.
But Peter spiritualized their exiled state by pointing out the…
“We take up our crosses and follow Him our beloved Jesus Christ”
“Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil”
Perfect timing and a most timely message here! I was just thinking early today as I was on a daily walk with my dog; thinking about this very point here in your well-illustrated truthful message!
“Busybodies” as you said was a precise thought I had about people in my immediate community along with meddlers, cronies of politics and power and just plain scoffers of a person who walks alone or is going against the tide and status-quo, as they speak with jealousy and contempt even backstabbing! As for example how so many were duped into getting the jab from the get-goes being proud they will not admit that they may have been wrong, tricked into trusting the government and MSM over being aligned with the Holy Spirit, because of pride and in some people severe bullheadedness to a fault! In Revelations it speaks about End Time when the truly haughty and proud will march into hell rather than to be totally humbled and submit to God’s Truth and admit their extreme error and need for redemption unto salvation! A time when truth and goodness are ridiculed or those who speak it are targeted
.
“The further a society drifts from truth, the more it will hate those who speak it.” George Orwell
Many of these people I see around me know I worked in MSM and other fields of expertise but I shun the system and don’t give into government or powers and principalities all created and ruled by men; I obey all of the civil laws and moral codes of conduct but I will not be a minion to any man, group or government, especially now in this generation which I see is clearly passing away as in being the most lost ever with only one possible outcome which will be what has happened the Great Apostasy leading to the collapse of all humanity and the rise of the antichrist which will of course real the greatest lie from the father of all lies leaving only the final judgment and the return of our Savior Jesus Christ!
Billy Graham had said; “Many of our news magazines carry stories of immorality. Theologians and pastors are quoted as condoning sexual immorality under certain circumstances. The Bible says through Isaiah the prophet: “Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!” (Isaiah 5:20).
Precisely again what I was contemplating as I walked with my dog earlier today and you have brought to the fore here in your blog message! Billy Graham went on to explain very profoundly what I do see going on exponentially now!
“Humanity has always been dexterous at confusing evil with good. That was Adam and Eve’s problem, and it is our problem today. If evil were not made to appear good, there would be no such thing as temptation. It is in their close similarity that the danger lies.
Modern social righteousness often differs from the righteousness of the Bible. Someone has said: “A wrong deed is right if the majority of people declare it not to be wrong.” By this principle we can see our standards shifting from year to year according to the popular vote! Divorce was once frowned upon by society, and laws against fornication and adultery were strictly enforced. But now divorce is accepted by society, and fornication is glorified in our literature and films.
The Bible says: “Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil.” God has not changed. His standards have not been lowered. God still calls immorality a sin, and the Bible says God is going to judge it.
Honesty was once the hallmark of character. But it has been set aside with an “It’s all right if you don’t get caught” philosophy. Only when we are in court are we required to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.” https://billygraham.org/decision-magazine/june-2012/confusing-evil-with-good/
I actually pain and long for this because as i see it each passing day may be an opportunity for some others to finally wake up and seek Christ in great humility but also I see far too much evil ensnaring more souls that are even running to the precipice now! This to me is the nightmare of all nightmares! I pray for God Almighty’s mercy for this lost generation but I ask that He would please bring His judgment as soon as possible and the final closure to the spiritual battle!
I’m convinced God answered my prayer and deep concern today with your message that He inspired you to bring into the light for all of us to see and I thank you for being his instrument in this way as you humble yourself and doing your utmost to serve our Lord and Savior Jesus by doing our Father’s will. Amen.
We take up our crosses and follow Him our beloved Jesus Christ!
God bless you and yours!
Thank you my Dear Lovely in the UK! I hate to make a fuss but it’s a relief to know you could bear it and then did this too! The photos are Divine and they help touch my soul gently!
Bless your kind heart!
God bless you!
Your thankful Brother in Christ Jesus,

As I see it now talking about secularism or apostasy being so prevalent now it’s just as clear that even far worse than that is the fact that the masses are mostly “Luke Warm” even in spite of how much evil has reared its ugly demonic head over the last couple of years; and God said he will spit such out or reject people who will not make up their minds and more importantly “hearts” as to what they fill their hearts and minds with! And in today’s world sadly it’s not God with far too many people; even many that claim they do, are deceiving others or just themselves speaking falsely!
A prime example of that falsehood is Joe Biden and other high ranking leaders in our government and even churches! Biden in his first few months in office which he doesn’t even have the right to claim as legitimate, appropriated $469 Billion dollars for abortion making him the all-time abortion king, showing just where his priority is which is to serve his master Satan! This same monster that claims he is a Christian Catholic and wants to receive the blessed sacrament of the mass like any other person; but a person has to be in a state of repentance and grace first; which he can’t possibly be! He is according to standing history and precepts of the church disqualified being in horrendous mortal sin and willingly continues his sin, not caring what God says so therefore truly blaspheming Him; so he cannot have the Holy Blessed Eucharist placed in his totally sinful evil body and soul, as he is carrying out acts of not just Apostasy, but, of Abomination, as he serves Satan just like Obama did; and they both are clearly already property of Hell!
This is what we faithful are up against a completely reckless and evil “Ways of the World System” that is hell-bent and as Saint John Paul II had correctly stated now decades ago, “we live in a Culture of Death;” in which basically people are quite willing to do even with all they can see and hear, with their own eyes and ears so in turn they too serve the Beast! Which I believe is this corrupted world, “hell bent ways” system that is ruled by Satan! The massively destructive hate and evil fueled riots during the summer of 2020 promoted, even condoned by many in the government, which was obviously all evil; is now worshiped in America more than Jesus Christ!
It’s too far gone, and out of control and what bothers me now, is how many people I see on the internet or even in the immediate world around me that just keep accepting and going along; many of them playing phony games of promoting self or not caring at all.
This first blog link below contains some information and other links to additional essays I wrote that all revolve around this idea of massive death and destruction that is coming, just like the Biblical Prophecies told us all along would be the case in the End Time; the Four Horses of the Apocalypse are upon us; and will be unfolding soon enough! Depopulation and massive die-off’s is something I was aware of as well as my knowing that the vaccines were all part of the demonic plan to destroy humanity and bring great suffering to the people before the End comes, along with turning as many souls away from God as possible!
I got so turned off by some people that I interacted with here on this site last year and moving forward by their foolish behaviors and outright lying as they only seek to glorify themselves or get something else out of people online, I blocked them; as they are about taking and getting; a big game! One lady with tens of thousands of followers is all about fakery and lies thinking she is getting to do some good here when all she does is promote self and capitalize where and when she can! I had asked verbatim as she being a Catholic if she saw how diabolical and wrong Pope Francis is and how he has promoted falsehood, but, all she could say was “I support the pope;” so I saw then she is one of those fake Catholics like Biden or Pelosi that are not even real Christians! She wasn’t being truthful; or taking a stand for Jesus Christ and the whole Truth of God and certainly not humble; but rather playing politics and watching her own bottom-line.
Here is a portion of a previous essay that cuts to the chase!
Wuhan Flu shots were designed to “slow kill” the masses through time-delayed death
It is one thing for the genetically modified (GMO) virus to be intentionally released, but a whole different thing for the medical establishment to then introduce an injection for it right in the middle of an alleged “pandemic.”
In Montagnier’s view, this approach is an “unacceptable mistake,” at best, because all it will do is spread even more “variants” of the Chinese Virus and kill more people – which appears to have been the plan all along.
We have Donald Trump and his “Operation Warp Speed” scheme to thank for this nightmare, by the way. While some of his diehard supporters still insist that Trump should not be blamed because he was simply “misled” by his cabinet concerning the nature of the injections, Trump himself is aggressively pushing them even to this day, despite the tens of thousands of known cases of injury and death.
Evidence continues to mount that Chinese Virus injections were designed to be a “slow” kill for many, meaning their detrimental impact takes a bit of time to manifest. For some, however, injury and death will come immediately, as we have seen in the headlines as of late.
All of this would explain the mad rush to vaccinate people at “warp speed,” using any ploy or coercion tactic necessary to reach the desired target. Once enough vaccinated people start dropping dead, the remaining unvaccinated will more than likely resist, which is why the Biden regime is moving quickly to get as many people injected as possibly, preferably before July 4.
“The powers that be have your DNA from the swab tests in a database link with an artificial intelligence that will determine the best time for one to die, and it will be by a ‘natural’ cause like stroke or heart attack,” one commenter at Disclose.tv wrote about people who are not necessarily vaccinated but who have undergone a covid “test.”
“A certain frequency will resonate with the target only by the mobility tower closest to your home. Skynet is not sending droids, but frequencies.”

Their idols are silver and gold, The work of human hands. They have mouths, but they cannot speak; They have eyes, but they cannot see; They have ears, but they cannot hear; They have noses, but they cannot smell; They have hands, but they cannot feel; They have feet, but they cannot walk; They cannot make a sound with their throat. Those who make them will become like them, So is everyone who trusts in them. – (Psalm 115:4- 8)
Today the Lord spoke to me for quite an extended period, the same things over and over. I have put them into categories for easier understanding but I received them all in one long conversation that I recorded as best as I remember.
Vaccine Fallout & Boosters
The Lord spoke once again about the covid 19 vaccines. He said that people all over the world will die in record numbers…
“this if you will, wake up and smell the coffee moment happens; our epiphany”
Another unmistakable and profound message came to me from our Lord Jesus!
Last evening about the same time I was tired but determined to send out a message to a reply I received late yesterday afternoon to my previous comment I made the day before yesterday! Now if you like jigsaw puzzles as much as I do you will understand how good a feeling it is to see pieces to an evolving puzzle seemingly falling into place!
I believe without a doubt God is making His will known and leading the way here in what to me is as I call it connecting the dots in converging converging conversations and interacting events; and to me there is nothing I love seeing happen more because this is what the Lord’s Prayer states succinctly being most imperative; Thy Will be done on earth as it is in heaven! What’s more I’m so truly humbled and sorry at the same time because I’m nobody yet God allows and actually intervenes this way in my life and I just say Lord, I’m not worthy but I know you’ve shown such amazing grace and love to me that my heart is wanting to burst with sorrow and shame before you for not being the best person because I tell myself even though I’ve never been truly bad or evil I hate that I screwed up or not done better for you; and just been a fallen human being which I know you understand it all far better than I can fathom, the length and breath of it all the enormous gravity of failure that hangs over mankind and yet they produce so much more of it, far worse in many cases than all past transgressions and most frown or walk around with heads held high.
But just like this Scripture tells us; “9What then? Are we any better? Not at all. For we have already made the charge that Jews and Greeks alike are all under sin. 10As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one. 11There is no one who understands, no one who seeks God.” Romans 3:10
This verse is so absolutely true but yet I know you haven’t given up on us all and I have learned and witnessed what Amazing Grace you are Lord!
“Amazing grace! howsweetthesound, That saved a wretch; like me! I once was lost, but now am found, Was blind, but now I see. 2. ‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, And grace my fears relieved; How precious did that grace appear. The hour I first believed!”
I have believed since a boy but did I really know what it was like to truly believe and know what that is like; no I only learned over time and through trials and tribulations, some serious suffering which was a blessing making sure I carried my cross as I must!
Now to clarify this more for all to understand for the sake of all, I’ve always been a good guy in most cases better than many and always wanting to protect and watch after others; I was brought up the right way and I was blessed with a good sensitive heart that many who loved me when growing up nurtured that good in me and then I quite naturally in turn did the same for others around me! But regardless sin gets us all one way or another and all fall short of the glory of God!
Now what I’m saying here should coalesce easily when I provide these couple of pieces to a puzzle or picture that God through the Holy Spirit has Divinely influenced as I and others have our hearts open to Jesus and allow the will of the Father to permeate our souls; then Jesus leads the way making it a smooth transition or at least something that we can handle.
First this text that came to me will fit very well with what I wrote last evening as you will see. These following quoted words I provide were not solicited by me at all but came to my email inbox at about the same time of evening as when I began writing last night.
“Then there are the non-believers, many of them good people. They use human intellect to put forth all the reasons why God does not Exist. Yet they, including many of their Christian counterparts who are lukewarm in their faith – will run to Me first. Their hearts will be unlocked and because they will only see what witness I bring to bear, they will know that I Call them. They won’t resist Me, unlike those stubborn souls who think they know more about the promise I made to return to present the Final Covenant, than Me.
Every task I give you, will lead to more and more nations taking up My Cross to create the one pathway towards Me. Never hesitate to walk alongside Me when I Call you, because when you respond to Me, you will destroy the power of evil. Evil may cause you pain, but when you allow Me to guide you, you can overcome any obstacle in your way.
I love you and I guide you, just as I protect My Prayer Groups around the world.
Now to what I wrote last evening that corresponds beautifully and I hope it all touches you or inspires as it has me to turn more so to our Lord for all of our needs and guidance in these extremely dangerous and troubled times and worse to come!
First of all I have to say WOW! I’m telling you this is some beautiful writing and to the heart and soul of what is going on in this world or what it’s all about and why we are here; really! You’re so right how so many people don’t connect to this or get it; as you mentioned when we are just teens or some people even into middle age and beyond, they keep fighting the Truth that is really deep inside and nothing in this world will bridge the gap or fill the void necessary to give that sense of completeness and joy which isn’t a material tangible thing as it transcends time and space but it must and does exist most assuredly; as we think our lives here in this limited material plane is the what we are an all we can be, when it’s not even scratching the surface of what exists beyond our comprehension and indeed our limited cognitive perceptions! This is where Jesus Christ can surely come in to make sure we see more than this surface value of life here, and know that He is real and absolutely wants to share all He has to offer with us out of His infinite love, and to totally fulfill us; filling us with His love and glory in a complete existence that is something that we don’t have the ability to fathom now which is why Trusting Him becomes so imperative. Because He has told us that He wants us to walk with him and follow for a while carrying our crosses in a difficult circumstance, but, He has promised us that staying on our path doing the Father’s will is the only way to live, and to everlasting life in His kingdom!
We can see how very short our time here really is comparatively speaking in the cosmic sense of space time, our being part of the universe and its vastness, yet each of us is barely a blip on the radar, just small flickering flames like candles in the breeze not much hope it would seem to really matter to the universe, and like the old saying, “here today gone tomorrow,” is really how it measures up to be a human being in a place that in terms of the entire known universe is about 13 Billion years old and the earth around 4.5 Billion. Depending on what school of thought and hard evidence we consider many scientists figure a forerunner of we humans was beginning life on earth about 6 Millions years ago and advanced to the more human form that we actually consider to be us more classically around 300,000 years ago, to be followed by actual Homo sapiens who were the actual ancestors that began civilization only about 6000 years ago!
Now I’m a bit tired at the moment and I know I brought this up for good reason which off the top of my head I want to say that the mystery and absolute awe of existence is profoundly captivating to me but when I place myself and my mere life into this perspective I have to admit if I have my wits about me, what can I actually amount to or what significance can I really have in the big picture or a universe and billions of people! Not much as I see it and you rightly mentioned how when we are very young we are so full of exuberance and dreams of making an impact or really becoming somebody so that others and maybe the whole world will say wow, you really did something with your life and you’re a kind of important person! Now I have to laugh and say I felt that and know so differently now how that doesn’t mean anything it’s all a lot of hot air and whimsical nonsense! Because say for example the universe goes on like it has been for another few Billion years and in that time the sun could become a red giant and the nearest planets including earth would be absorbed into the sun and eventually the red giant would under its own weight and gravity become a white dwarf! Just considering these concepts helps me to put my own life into perspective and realize that even all of earthly civilization amounts to nothing but a hill of beans, unless there is a lot more going on than meets the eye and that the human mind isn’t capable of fathoming!
But now that I spaced out our existence a bit in abstract terms let’s get right back down to earth and the old brass tacks as they say.
Where are you or I going with all of this scratching the surface and digging into some fascinating ideas or knowledge that even will really matter at the end of our lives here or further down the road or timeline as to the point would anyone care if there are people around millions of years from now or even just hundreds about who I was and what I did with my life? And what good would any of that matter in time when I’m dead and buried anyway! It wouldn’t matter in the scheme of material existence at all. But while looking into what you said in your commentary; maybe I can finally say what I think is the one thing that matters.
When you spoke about how when we are all very young and full of exuberance and dreams of what we will do in our future lives ahead and have such high hopes of amazing dreams and how this compelling drive is there by virtue of our wanting to make our mark on this world or leave a legacy, do something special in order to be remembered or very significant making use of all of that youthful ambition or sometimes pride. But then as the years pass and we go through transitions or even setbacks as life gets in the way or takes some twist and turn we start to see how the things we thought were so important recede into the background or our memories of our youth, and so we begin to let go of those desires or dreams perhaps becoming more practical, or actually seeing how those things are not so important to us and perhaps time is running out and we need to shift gears and get with the real program! That point you made about how we are find out that what we are really yearning for is that deep, pure and perfect love that can only come from our creator; this if you will, wake up and smell the coffee moment happens; our epiphany!
I think you nailed it down dashingly and so perfectly my Sister in Christ Jesus! You caused me to think of this Scripture immediately when I read this article essay of yours and it says so much about all of what I have written here; and what you finely tuned in on!
“10but when the perfect comes, the partial passes away. 11When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I set aside childish ways. 12Now we see but a dim reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.” 1 Corinthians 13:11
Those people you mention that say speaking about Jesus Christ and His being the Truth is all so deluded, unscientific, illogical or blinded; I can categorically and unequivocally say that I know for sure they are all of those things, and they miss the boat or point totally; they are “the blind leading the blind!” I have discovered through my own life experiences and being open to Jesus Christ my whole life that He is absolutely real and does let me know in many ways or instances; sometimes very obvious and profound ways too.
God did not create us to be lost in the massive universe to be drifting in a material plane of existence like so many wild seeds that haphazardly float about having no greater meaning or Divine planned meaning!
We were created in God’s image meaning we have this contemplative, creative and ethereal conceptualization of existence and our own place in it, which we can only see to a point on our own! But then He did provide us with great wisdom in His word, the Holy Scriptures to provide us a rudder to navigate in this big world with a destination in mind and heart that He has already told us about; which is to end up with Him and our Father in their heavenly eternal kingdom!
For now because its late in the day I think I can share some much further explanation here with a couple of my previous writings that speak to this very specifically and one in particular where I was led to some concrete evidence that Jesus Christ provided through design and Divine plan to acknowledge me and my faith in Him.
That is one that I wrote called “The Salvation Stone” will I hope confirms what you already know! And then the following essay called “Always Walking with Jesus Christ” that should be self-explanatory and again further confirmation about His presence is close at hand always; He truly wants us to seek and love Him to the best of our ability and to me this is the crux of this whole subject, of what to do with our lives and what really matters! Without Jesus Christ our lives will be empty and have no ultimate true meaning, but will only serve to be like chaff or those flickering candles in the breeze, “here today gone tomorrow!” He is our only Hope! Jesus Christ truly saves and nothing else in all of existence will save you bringing you to eternal life in Paradise!
God bless you and I will pray that something here is truly helpful to you!

A Message from the Editor
Dear readers,
We especially enjoy publishing articles on persons who take heroic actions to bring about justice against wrongdoings.
We value those so much because their leadership and example is what’s needed to eventually ignite the masses to throw off their chains of fear, cowardice and timidity and decide that they have finally had enough of deep corruption, injustice, betrayals by elected officials and religious leaders, and especially enough of seeing the ongoing tragedy of many innocents unnecessarily suffering and dying.

Freedom; Jesus Died on the Cross to Free us from Sin and Death
Now will we stand up for Jesus and Freedom; I’m Standing!
I was in the midst of writing a long essay to address an very important question a friend had for me yesterday, when I suddenly saw an email notice from LifeSite that you just read a portion of above. I had already seen a portion of Jim Caviezel’s video speech from Las Vegas the same time he made it. So I stopped writing to watch the entire speech and when I was finished I was teary eyed as I saw how this all tied together with what I had written and what was then going though my heart! I know this message I wrote is God’s will and should be presented to the friend and anyone out there who cares, with Jim Caviezel’s speech; with a solemn hope in my heart that it truly helps others to be inspired by God’s Holy Spirit through Jesus Christ! Amen.
Jim Caviezel said;
“set yourselves apart from this corrupt generation,” and “be saints.”
Before I provide all of the text I had written to this friend today I want to say I had posted a previous essay solely about Jim Caviezel and a longer interview he provided via a podcast! He mentioned right off how the will of God is what’s paramount and as I’ve been saying often too, and I actual wrote today to say the same thing in so many words. But here is a sample of what I said about that previous interview with Jim Caviezel. At the end of this new essay I will include all of my text in the previous essay with the video interview.
Written back on 9/24/2020
I must tell you that my reblog commentary was made before watching the interview with Jim. But, now later I want to say that he is right about it being time to be ready to take a stand for Jesus; in other words we must be willing to give up our lives as truly faithful in this judgment time before us, and, many will be martyred. I know this firsthand because of how I’ve been fighting the very agents of hell the Illuminati and others for some years now since being attacked by the system that is thoroughly corrupted as you should plainly see by now. Even a family member was ruined and eventually martyred by the corrupted system, his death occurring just when the attack on me began to intensify. I’m only alive right now because God wants it this way and I am willing to suffer or take anything this wicked corrupted world can or will dish out to me ahead; all for Jesus Christ my Lord, Savior and Redeemer; He is who I owe all to without any doubt; and, I’m so grateful to have this opportunity, my life by trial, to hopefully be with him in heaven. Amen. I added this paragraph nearly 5 hours after writing my reblog. I may have more to say later about all of this.
It was “the will of God” in heaven that both of these men succeeded in their work doing His will on earth at a time when the true story of Christ needed to be told in this way, because we are approaching the Latter Days or if I may be so bold to say, that the Second Coming is before us and close at hand, so anyone who wants to be saved had better make up his or her mind now. These two men who seem so iconic to many are truly blessed and chosen by God to be who they are, and accomplished such work all in accordance with God’s plan.
So clearly what we can see from the text above that I wrote back on September 24, 2020 it too was inspired and also miraculously coincided with circumstances at the time just as they did again today when I began writing to this friend about the same subject matter of God’s will, and taking a stand for Jesus Christ! Now please continue with today’s writing below.
That feeling is right my friend: called the gut feeling or 6th sense; which I know from experience should be or is God’s Holy Spirit! Just like a conscience God put it there in us to give us the advantage to be aware or forewarned to try not to do wrong when tempted; try to be righteous even if it’s extremely difficult at times! Prophesy is what stems from this ability and only so few actually tap into the Divine with it, but, enough have in order to reveal the most important and spiritual secrets from God, who made all of this as you know, and His plan will unfold regardless of any human activity or attempt to supersede God’s will; because God is omnipotent and knows all things, so who better to steer a universe and existence!
The bigger problem with modern man is he got this big cockamamie idea that he could be his own boss and knows so much, so why not take the wheel and drive on where he damn well pleases! Oops another crash ahead and who caused that one like all the previous ones! This wayward adventure of humans is a familiar story if we study all of God’s word to humanity, and how the serpent or Lucifer who is real I assure you, began that type of misadventure running slipshod over what “God commanded,” figuring why bother letting God have all the glory, why not grab some for his self and go for the gusto! Soros not a fallen angel is that kind of person, he is on his own trip doing his own thing and being allowed to, but, the price for his wayward evil adventure is going to be impossible to pay with all the material garbage and money he owns it won’t scratch the surface, because his soul is already part of hell which does exist; “like passing a camel through the eye of a needle,” not going to happen! The happy hour as they say in the bar or clubs is here and last call time is now or never to not miss the bus, but, so many keep doing the same old stupid human foibles thing as they tighten the nooses around their own necks like Soros did long ago! Nothing any human being will come up with, to then try and say lookie here I have a remedy that’s going to make the difference; so buyer beware none of that means jack!
But my Friend, aside from all I’ve said sort of me spilling my guts a regular pastime of mine these days; always was a talker and good salesman in the past too, a talent or a curse it could be another double edged sword; but this statement of yours I see as a key aspect to what you say here that should be focused upon.
“I think I’m looking for reasons why I even survived it at all.”
First I preface; that I’m nobody; but maybe to Jesus Christ I am, because He saved my skin a few times at least, and I don’t want to count how many times anyway that isn’t the point. But I did learn a lot about why I’m here and what God is up to with this whole existence thing; never mind Carl Sagan or Stephen Hawking and any other dude with far out ideas, I used to listen to them and the others all of the time too. Now a huge distraction as I see them to be honest, playing I have something figured out I’m so brilliant, and this is where it’s at so listen to me and buy my books or support the University and whatever. Malarkey; they have nothing figured out when it comes to the ultimate or bottom-line they and all of us are still going to die and are on a Dead End, because no matter how much any genius or group of them figure out about the material realm and this plane of physical life they have not even begun to understand the real beyond and how or what it’s all about, as in they don’t know God Almighty; that is not how they can find Him or know Him either, to me they are on a fool’s errand; making Satan have a huge laugh!
Jesus Christ told us the Truth and He is Truth; do we really want to know the reasons and the answers that matter, then we have to know Him, that is the only path to real understanding; he never lied and he died, on that ugly cross because we all do, or shall I say we all sin and do wrong; making it any of us that should have been nailed to that cross!
You survived because that is what God wanted; that is something I can say for sure, just like I survived many instances where it would have been lights out if not for God saying not now! We can surmise easily that God has His reasons and knows why; so who are we to question God just like he told Job; “where were you when I laid the foundations of the heavens and the earth!”
But still maybe I had to stay here to do something for God in serving him with my life that He gave me to serve His purposes not any others, and maybe to help save somebody else from doom. Or perhaps I needed a bit more time to be saved myself, because I have sinned like anyone else; but I fit into His plan in some certain way that requires me being shaped and formed into “His instrument!” God gets to pick and choose and decide what is what with everything, even giving us free will; but that is so we can in our own hearts, from our hearts, not minds decide to see His love and want to respect and adore Him for all the Good He has bestowed upon us and this existence; we are free agents to a point and not rocks! But, some people try to be as thick as a brick, by not doing the obvious and seeing what our actual status is, which is barely a breath or a flickering flame without God to back us up; so it’s not us that should decide what to make of this life or not, we only get to either say we love him and want to understand or we do not; and we do that by accepting Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior and humbly say to him we want to follow Him; because we know He loves us and we should absolutely love Him.
Now back to the complete text and 9/24/2020 interview with Jim Caviezel!
I really like Jim Caviezel as a fantastic actor but more importantly I see him as a fine human being and servant of God. Jim isn’t a famous movie star who portrayed the greatest and only perfect human being to have ever walked on the face of this earth so masterfully because he wanted to be famous and remembered for this magnificent imitation of Christ Jesus in a movie; with the likes of another fantastic artist that I equally admire Mel Gibson; who himself was not deterred by all of the flak from Hollywood and other enemies of Christ who didn’t want Mel to succeed in producing The Passion of The Christ, which to me is the greatest film ever made; why else do I sob like a child each time I watch it.
But, as we know he did succeed and there is one reason; it was “the will of God” in heaven that both of these men succeeded in their work doing His will on earth at a time when the true story of Christ needed to be told in this way, because we are approaching the Latter Days or if I may be so bold to say, that the Second Coming is before us and close at hand, so anyone who wants to be saved had better make up his or her mind now. These two men who seem so iconic to many are truly blessed and chosen by God to be who they are, and accomplished such work all in accordance with God’s plan. Many religious scholars and figures weighed in upon the film’s release to mainly sing praises and to respect the accomplishment which I totally agreed with then and now, not just because I’m a Catholic born and raised like Mel and Jim; but, the more profound message to me from any theologian or critic about the film was from a man I admired and still do tremendously as being a Saint, because he actually is, Saint John Paul II, who not only appreciated the film and these men for their work in serving our Lord God, but, he gave the movie his blessing!
Here is a statement from catholicleague.org published about it; “Critics of the Mel Gibson movie, “The Passion of the Christ,” are confounded. That’s because the pope has seen the film and has extended his blessings. “It is as it was,” Pope John Paul II said. Thus did he drive Mel’s adversaries into a tizzy.” So, my perception about the remarkable clearly inspired plan and purpose from above at work before and during the making of this historic masterpiece was self-evident to me and many others! But, I could also see the will of God at work in this event in a unique way having been a man who went to Hollywood thinking I should be a filmmaker/actor since my teen years, only to find that remarkably by my packing a few suitcases and driving there not knowing a soul, I sure enough was given an opportunity in short order to walk right into the studios where both Jim and Mel had worked, because again God’s will at work, and in my case, His will was that I would see firsthand what I needed to, giving me a special grace to know that direction wasn’t what God wanted for me, and was rather my own desires taking over; so I was to learn by God’s love for me that I should invest my time and life at that point in time, into my own family back East. I soon found out that if God wanted me to stay there and do something special for Him then I would have, but, I was given an epiphany that clearly pointed out it wasn’t for me and I decided just as fast as when I left home spontaneously at the crack of dawn one day, I just packed up and left it all behind just when some VIP’s took an interest in me and were ready to give me a leg up on starting a full-fledged movie career. So then, to me the point that is driven home here in this blog article is that just like in all walks of life there are those individuals that are doing God’s will and humbly serving His purpose and designs for our lives in their work, just like there are those self-serving type of people that think the world revolves around them and are on their own self-designed ego trips. This is why to me, it’s so good to see that Jim Caveizel is following his faith devoutly with his wife and children as he continues to be following God’s will in his work during this great unprecedented time of world conflict that obviously requires divine intervention soon! God bless you all and may you feel God calling you in your own hearts to be strong and follow His will for each of you; whatever that is. Amen.

Again to illustrate and emphasis how God working in our lives daily if we will let Him I repeat this closing text that I provided at the beginning. After completing the essay I watched the full interview and had this to say all written back on again 9/24/2020.
I must tell you that my reblog commentary was made before watching the interview with Jim. But, now later I want to say that he is right about it being time to be ready to take a stand for Jesus; in other words we must be willing to give up our lives as truly faithful in this judgment time before us, and, many will be martyred. I know this firsthand because of how I’ve been fighting the very agents of hell the Illuminati and others for some years now since being attacked by the system that is thoroughly corrupted as you should plainly see by now. Even a family member was ruined and eventually martyred by the corrupted system, his death occurring just when the attack on me began to intensify. I’m only alive right now because God wants it this way and I am willing to suffer or take anything this wicked corrupted world can or will dish out to me ahead; all for Jesus Christ my Lord, Savior and Redeemer; He is who I owe all to without any doubt; and, I’m so grateful to have this opportunity, my life by trial, to hopefully be with him in heaven. Amen. I added this paragraph nearly 5 hours after writing my reblog. I may have more to say later about all of this.
If you have the time please check all of the LifeSite article links below, especially the ones pertaining to the vaccinations of children and what their parents are going through!
Jim Caviezel draws on Ronald Reagan, calls for ‘Christian warriors’ to fight for freedom: ‘The storm is upon us’
Dear readers,
We especially enjoy publishing articles on persons who take heroic actions to bring about justice against wrongdoings.
We value those so much because their leadership and example is what’s needed to eventually ignite the masses to throw off their chains of fear, cowardice and timidity and decide that they have finally had enough of deep corruption, injustice, betrayals by elected officials and religious leaders, and especially enough of seeing the ongoing tragedy of many innocents unnecessarily suffering and dying.
We especially draw your attention to actor Jim Caviezel’s mighty, historic, 18-minute oration calling on “Christian warriors” to fight for freedom. You MUST watch this, take it to heart and then send it to everyone that you know, and ask them to pass it on to others, especially all of your local, state or provincial and federal political and also religious leaders.
The vaccine injured around the world have been organizing to be heard and to receive justice for what was criminally done to them, and they are increasingly and heroically compelled to speak out to prevent others from making the mistake that they made as today’s video of 40 (out of thousands) vaccine injured Israel citizens movingly illustrates.
More clergy of various denominations are finally speaking out against the jab mandate injustice as the Catholic priest we report on today has just done in a powerful sermon.
Elected party members are speaking contrary to their corrupt leaders’ complicity in the medical tyranny. Many more must do the same. Far, far too many are losing their souls by placing their political careers and positions before their consciences and their duty to serve those who elected them.
Parents who lost their child to the jab are traveling around their nation trying to wake up all other parents to the great danger of these injections. These bereft parents do not want anyone else to experience the heartbreak that they carry with them every day that could have so easily been prevented.
Other parents are so outraged at the criminal action of schools injecting their child without consent and other vile deeds that they are doing things they have never done before and are taking bold public actions against these violations of parental rights.
Some U.S. state leaders are aggressively acting against the authoritarian, dangerous and destructive federal jab mandates. Ron DeSantis is one such leader who will not tolerate any more loss of his state’s rights. We hope and pray that many more will follow his example so that America may be saved from tyranny.
Attorney Thomas Renz is a legal hero and warrior, regardless of the heavy cost to his personal life. Do you know that he hardly sleeps every night because he is so on fire for truth and justice? I have never seen such a highly principled lawyer so intensely relentless as this man who is determined to bring today’s political and medical Covid tyrants to full justice, including the long imprisonment that many of them deserve. Renz is not reluctant to use the term “murder” as it rightly applies to the results of many Covid mitigation and vaccine policies.
And then, thanks to pro-life heroes who have often been mocked and criticized by other, more establishment pro-life groups, there is now the situation in Texas where recent legislation has resulted in a massive 50 percent drop in abortions in the state. The remaining 50 percent are still totally unacceptable, and the goal must be to eliminate ALL murder of unborn innocents. That will take more heroism, elimination of all compromises and commitment to total victory against this greatest evil of our modern world.

Beautifully placed and said message at this most crucial time by Sister Jennifer!
“His manifest presence is always on a higher plane than our troubled emotions. Through the power of His Holy Spirit, He enables us to reach up to where He is. When we lift up our soul into the heavenly places, His presence washes over us, and all the cares of this world melt away.”
These words and their “absolute” meaningful intent direct us to our Godly armor and all of the strength we need to carry on here, while we await our Lord’s return and for our individual salvation that He has promised, if we will have faith and believe in Him alone Jesus Christ; our Lord Savior and Redeemer!
All we must do is pick up our crosses and follow Him to our everlasting peace, happiness and Life! The Comforter; which is the Holy Spirit of God is always with those who seek and love Jesus and the Father who are in Heaven. Amen.
“15If you love Me, you will keep My commandments. 16And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocate to be with you forever— 17the Spirit of truth. The world cannot receive Him, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. But you do know Him, for He abides with you and will be in you.” John 14: 15-17
God bless you and may His loving grace and mercy be with you!
You can intentionally lift your inner atmosphere up into the presence of God. His manifest presence is always on a higher plane than our troubled emotions. Through the power of His Holy Spirit, He enables us to
