[Mount Waialeale - Kaua'i, Hawaii]
The above mountain (which is over 5000 feet) and the immediate surrounding area is one of the wettest spots on earth! In 1982 it had a whopping 683 inches of rain! By the way, one of the Jurassic Park movies (I believe it was the first movie) was filmed here. Those two still standing posts on either side of the foreground path, marked the entrance gate to the "park" in the movie.
Following is an eye-opening and revealing video with Pastor Billy Crone and host Jan Markell on the subject of Artificial Intelligence! It deals with the extensiveness of its use right now, and also how the Antichrist in the 7 year Tribulation period can put A.I. to his devious and diabolical use. This is a MUST Watch !
Notice the sub-title of the video is "Summoning Up Demons". That comment was made by Elon Musk in a short clip used on the above video! Discussed briefly in the above information, is the recent announcement of the 10 story tall hologram A.I. called "Giant", which is to travel to various cities throughout the world this year. Pastor Billy Crone believes that perhaps something similar will be used in the 7 year Tribulation by the Antichrist for his "image of the beast", as the Bible calls it. Although by then, the "image of the beast" will no doubt have even more advanced technological abilities. Following is a short 7 minute video about "Giant", which includes the Biblical references concerning it.
There is much more info on the Web concerning this. Some pastors have said to NOT visit this thing; especially the feature where you temporarily "become the giant". The caution is from the fact that you might be opening up yourself - your soul and mind - to the demons.
It would be beneficial if you scrolled down on this blog to the previous post - the one right before this post! (Published on July 16, 2021) which also features Pastor Billy Crone on the subject of "The end of humanity". He deals a little with A.I. and has much to inform us on the subject of transhumanism - which is already here! It is difficult information to digest as it is alarming as well as disgusting and at the same time unbelievable.
[Somewhere - Valley in Colorado]
My photograph above is not exactly a true valley, as it still depicts high elevations; but thought it would be good to post here just the same! Part of the title of this article is "Your Time In the Valley?"
All of us have good times and bad times during the course of our lives. The bad times are sometimes referred to as "Valley experiences". Remember Psalm 23:4 =
'Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for Thou art with me, thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me."
Following is an excellent and encouraging commentary for you on Psalm 23:4 by
Benson (found on Biblehub.com):
"Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death": .. Through a dark and dismal valley, full of terrors and dangers, as this phrase signifies: Job 24:17; Psalm 44:19; Jeremiah 2:6 : that is, though I am in peril of death, though in the midst of dangers, deep as a valley, dark as a shadow, and dreadful as death itself; or, rather, though I am under arrests of death, and have received the sentence of death within myself, as a dying man:
"I will fear no evil" : I will not give way to my fears; but will confidently rely upon the Word and promises of God, persuaded that His grace shall be sufficient for me and that He will make even death itself work for my good. Observe, reader, a child of God may meet the messengers of death, and receive its summons, with a holy security and serenity of mind. He may bid it defiance, and say with Paul, "O death where is thy sting?"
"For Thou art with me" ; Here is the ground of a true Christian's confidence when "in the valley of the shadow of death, God is with him" : and His presence inspires him with confidence and comfort, hope and joy. It affords him light amidst the darkness of the valley, and life in the death of it.
"Thy rod and Thy staff" - Thy Word and Thy Spirit - "comfort me" : His gospel is the "rod of his strength" and there is enough in that to comfort the saints, both while they live, even in their greatest troubles, and also when they are dying. And His Spirit is the Comforter Himself, and where He is support and comfort cannot be wanting. His rod of chastisement and correction also ministers to the support and comfort of His people and much more. His "staff" of support, His upholding grace which, under all their trials, and even in their last and greatest trial, is sufficient for them. Or the rod may signify His pastoral care and inspection of the flock (alluding to the shepherd's crook, or rod, under which the sheep passed when they were counted) - (Leviticus 27:32), and the staff of the defense, and protection afforded them; the shepherd with his staff being wont to defend his sheep from the dogs and the wolves that would worry them.
"Or, as others interpret, the "rod" here, in allusion to Moses, may be considered as an emblem of power; some ensign of authority. The "staff" properly signifies what a person leans upon for support. Thus interpreted, the clause means the Sceptre of Thy Kingdom, or Thy power protects me, and so both minister to my comfort." - end of Benson's commentary.
Psalm 23 and the above commentary by Benson, are meant to encourage you all! We live in perilous times now - uncertain and kinda upside-down chaos!! But believers in the Savior, Jesus Christ, have a hope that sustains us and gives us comfort!
"Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ. Who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto Himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works." - Titus 2:13-14
From the information on this post, and other recent articles here, you can certainly see that it is so bad now, as prophesied in the Bible, that Jesus' return must be very soon!
"The LORD will keep you from all evil; He will keep your life. The LORD will keep your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forevermore." - Psalm 121:7-8
"... So that your faith and hope are [centered and rest] in God." - 1 Peter 1:21
"And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever." - Isaiah 32:17
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me." - John 14:6
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." - John 3:16
