Revelation 1:7 Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him, and all tribes of the earth will wail on account of Him. Even so. Amen.
Welcome to Part 8 and the final installment of Phil’s series.
𝐂𝐎𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐀𝐍𝐓, 𝐆𝐎𝐒𝐏𝐄𝐋, 𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐄, 𝐅𝐀𝐈𝐓𝐇, 𝐁𝐀𝐏𝐓𝐈𝐒𝐌
The Christian life is to believe “in” the Gospel which is “Immanuel” – God with us.
Romans 10:9-10 …if you 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐬 with your mouth the Lord Jesus and 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞 in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Jesus accomplished perfect obedience to God in the Law and performed miracles. He remained obedient unto death and exited the Old Covenant. He was the only person able to say, “It is finished”. Because of His righteous act, death has no legal claim on Him. Ever.
This is why God resurrected Him. It is proof that the Old Covenant of Sin and Death is finished.
When we believe “in” Him, He who is the New Covenant Representative we are betrothed, engaged. By the indwelling of the Holy Spirit we are being prepared for the Wedding.
We know we have the Holy Spirit when we exhibit the fruits of the Holy Spirit: love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.
Just as Jesus is the 2nd Adam, He remained faithful and finished the covenant. We the Church are the 2nd Eve. Even though we’ve sinned we are protected by His perfect, permanent, irrevocable, eternal grace of Him doing everything right.
Even though the Church has sinned, our sins don’t fall to us. Because of His obedience we are protected by the New and Everlasting Covenant between Jesus and God that can’t be broken because by His grace “it is finished”.
John 1:29 “Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.”
That’s the Good News.
As someone betrothed, engaged to be married, our duty is to remain faithful until the wedding.
Zechariah 14:12 And this shall be the plague with which the LORD will strike all the peoples that wage war against Jerusalem: their flesh will rot while they are still standing on their feet, their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongues will rot in their mouths.
Revelation 9:18 A third of mankind was killed by these three plagues, by the fire, the smoke, and the brimstone which came out of their mouths.
The Dimona Nuclear Facility, officially known as the Shimon Peres Negev Nuclear Research Center (Hebrew: קריה למחקר גרעיני – נגב ע”ש שמעון פרס), is Israel’s primary nuclear installation. It is located in the Negev Desert, approximately 13 kilometers (8 miles) southeast of the city of Dimona, and about 90 kilometers (56 miles) from Jerusalem.
Israel maintains a policy of strategic ambiguity regarding its nuclear capabilities—neither confirming nor denying possession of nuclear weapons. The facility is officially described as a research center for atomic science, but it is widely believed to be central to Israel’s undeclared nuclear weapons program, including plutonium production from its heavy-water reactor.
Construction began in the late 1950s (around 1958–1959) with significant French assistance. The reactor became operational between 1962 and 1964, with an estimated capacity of around 26 megawatts. It is not connected to the civilian power grid and does not produce electricity for public use. The site has been heavily guarded since its inception, with restricted airspace and no public access.

Meanwhile, Chevron Corp. said one of the three production units at its Gorgon plant was shut, as well as a platform that feeds its Wheatstone facility and domestic gas production.
Following the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and Iranian strikes damaging the world’s largest liquefaction plant in Qatar, Australia has become the second-largest LNG exporter, with the US in the top spot.

What many people call “getting saved” is actually accepting a marriage proposal from God. We state a willingness to be in covenant with God (the one between the Father and Jesus). At the point we accept that proposal we are engaged, betrothed. The “promissory ring” of the engagement is the gift of the Holy Spirit who teaches us about Jesus. But we aren’t married until the Wedding. The wedding is not in this body, and it’s not on this earth. It’s in Heaven in Revelation 19.
In this body on this earth we’re still in the broken covenant we were born into from Adam. We have to exit that old covenant. That means dying. “Till death do we part.”
Hebrews 9:27 And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment,…
Death and the afterlife is something we will all face. So it’s a good idea to prepare for it by rehearsing your mindset before it happens.
What then is baptism? Is it just a rinse in water to remove some dirt from your body? No, it’s much more than that.
𝐁𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐦 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐫𝐞𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬𝐚𝐥 to prepare you for your death, which is the exit from the covenant that Adam broke, and then to resurrection, being “born again” into eternal life in Christ Jesus. It consists of a few simple elements:
* Your declaration of faith
* Your simulated death and burial
* Your simulated resurrection
Depending on your circumstances, declaring your faith moments before you die might not be possible. It may occur suddenly or while you’re unconscious. So it’s a good idea to “bank” your statement of faith. Make it known to yourself so you’re confident. And make it known to others so they can have peace when you’re gone.
The Apostle Peter explains that baptism is so you may be at peace, having a good conscience toward God before you die.
1 Peter 3:21 “…baptism (not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,”
Jesus Himself referred to His death as a “baptism”.
Luke 12:50 “But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how distressed I am till it is accomplished!
Luke 9:23 Then He said to them all, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.”
Jesus wasn’t talking about us wearing a piece of jewelry, He was talking about following Him to our baptism through death and resurrection into eternal life. Not the rehearsal, the real thing. This is why the rehearsal is so important. Because when death comes it will be the ultimate test.
The question of whether or not “the thief on the cross” next to Jesus had to be baptized is simply answered by recognizing that he wasn’t rehearsing.
Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?
Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
Romans 6:3-5 For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection,
It’s not just dying and resurrecting that we rehearse with baptism, from that point on it is a rehearsal of our “walk in the newness of life” for eternity. So that when we cross over into eternity we will be familiar with it because we have rehearsed the walk. Our previous sinful lifestyle simply isn’t appropriate there. We should start getting rid of it now.
Our physical death is the exit from this covenant of sin and death that we are born into from Adam. Our bodies have already been corrupted by sin. We have to shed this mortal existence to be free of it. We wouldn’t want eternal life in a body that continually sins and decays!
1 Corinthians 15:53-54 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.”
Through our true baptism of death and resurrection we are “born again” into eternal life.
John 14:1-4 “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. And where I go you know, and the way you know.”
Isaiah 9:6 For a Child will be born to us, a Son will be given to us; and the government will rest on His shoulders; and His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.
Granted, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu was quoting the American historian and philosopher Will Durant. That said, bad analogy…
However, Netanyahu does not know the Lion of the tribe of Judah. You all (Israel) don’t know it, but Jesus Christ is Israel’s Messiah. He is your Messiah. He will come to Earth and conduct some serious social hygiene. Jesus is also the Lamb of God who died for the sins of humanity. See Revelation 5, Zechariah 12, 14 for details… Read it!
Jesus Christ will rule and reign 1,000 years and into eternity.
🇮🇱 Netanyahu went full edgelord: "Jesus Christ has no advantage over Genghis Khan.
Because if you are strong enough, ruthless enough, powerful enough, evil will overcome good."
Bro… that’s not a flex, that’s a facepalm on steroids.
Jesus Christ is the fulfillment of the celebration of the Spring Appointed Feasts.
There are seven God appointed holidays communicated through the Old Testament Law. The first three spring holidays were fulfilled on the appointed holiday by Jesus Himself. The names of the feasts are: Passover, Unleavened Bread, and First Fruits.
In the Hebrew year 5786 or the Gregorian calendar year of 2026, the appointments occur as follows. Passover essentially begins at sunset on Wednesday, Nisan 14th (traditional Hebrew lunar calendar) or April 1st on a western Gregorian solar calendar. The first day of Unleavened Bread is the next day at sunset on Thursday, Nisan 15th or April 2nd. Lastly, the feast of First Fruits starts at sunset on Friday, Nisan 16th or April 3rd. The holidays culminate and end at sunset on Thursday, April 9th. These are the mathematically calculated dates for 21st century calendars.
The Essene solar calendar has Passover initiating on Tuesday, March 31st (Nisan 14). Unleavened Bread begins on Wednesday, April 1st (Nisan 15). The timing and marking of First Fruits are different for the Essenes. Instead of being 3 consecutive days as marked by the traditional Hebrew lunar calendar above, First Fruits begins on Sunday, April 12th or Nisan 26th.
This is the year 5951 per the Dead Sea Scroll or the Essene calendar. As the Essene’s mark time, this is last generation.
Luke 21:32 Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all has taken place. -Jesus
The Essenes followed God’s word on the New Year. We are now in the year 5951.
Exodus 12:1-2 Now the LORD said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, “This month is the beginning of months for you; it shall be the first month of your year.
For those who are interested, check out the Dead Sea Scroll Essene Calendar at the link below. Compliments of Ken Johnson at https://biblefacts.org/
Again, there is not consensus on these dates within various studies of Judaism, Christendom, and Jewish Messianic believers in Yeshua or Jesus Christ. Humanity struggles to keep time as God has directed. No one knows the day or the hour…
For a deeper dive into the Hebrew lunar calendar, click the link below.
The first of God’s holidays is Passover or Pesach in the Hebrew. The holiday begins on the 14th day of the Hebrew month Nisan (March or April on a Gregorian calendar). There is a play on words in the original Hebrew. A “pesach” is an unblemished lamb which was required for the sacrifice. After the “pesach” was sacrificed, the blood was to be smeared on the wooden posts of the house. When God saw the blood on the door posts, He passed over or “pasach” and the house was spared judgment.
The original directions for the Passover were given to Moses and Aaron in Egypt. The statute and happenings are noted in Exodus 12. God defines the purpose of the holiday to Israel.
Exodus 12:26-27a “And when your children say to you, ‘What does this rite mean to you?’ you shall say, ‘It is a Passover sacrifice to the LORD who passed over the houses of the sons of Israel in Egypt when He smote the Egyptians, but spared our homes.’”
~
The second of God’s holidays is Unleavened Bread or Chag haMatazt in the Hebrew. The holiday begins on the 15th of Nisan and runs for seven days.
The directions of Unleavened Bread are noted in Exodus 12:15-20. The focus of the week is to live a life without leaven, the symbol for sin. Leaven is not to be in the house. Leaven products are not to be consumed. Bread without yeast, matzah, is to be eaten.
~
The third of God’s holidays is First Fruits or Reshit Katzir in the Hebrew. The one day holiday begins on the day after the Sabbath or Sunday on our calendar.
The directions for First Fruits are noted in Leviticus 23:9-14. The priest is to make a barley offering of the first portion of the harvest to the Lord. The priest intervenes on behalf of the people. The reality of the holiday for the people of Israel is this. The people bring their grain sheaf to the priest. They are to sacrifice a lamb without blemish. The offering is also to be presented with bread and wine.
Jesus was resurrected on First Fruits. He is the First Fruits or barley offering before God the Father. He is the High Priest who intervenes on our behalf for sin. He is the perfect offering.
In memory of Him, we participate in communion with the elements of bread and wine.
At some point in the future, as a pattern of history, will believers in Christ be resurrected on First Fruits?
Jesus Christ died. He was buried. And He was raised from the dead.
This is the gospel message of Jesus Christ, really “good news”.
Today, He is alive at the right hand of God the Father. And He is coming back again to planet Earth.

Jesus’ burial site closed…
❗️ Israel closes Church of Holy Sepulchre
The most important Christian holy site has been closed since Feb 28 — the first time in modern history that liturgies stopped for weeks due to war conflict
Romans 10:9-10 “If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”
Revelation 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.
Let God into your life. It’s not only about you answering an invitation but you offering one in exchange. When you sense God knocking on the door of your heart, open the door and let Him in. It goes both ways, you let God into your house, God lets you into His.
What else must you do?
Listen to Him. God’s Holy Spirit will begin to produce the fruits of Love, Joy, Peace, Longsuffering, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness and Self Control. When you see these things manifesting in your life you will know that these things are done in God through you.
Read the Bible. Get to know God.
The New Covenant is this: God’s Law will not be written just in stone, but God will write His Law on your heart.
Jeremiah 31:33 But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the LORD: I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.
You’ll know God’s Law is written on your heart when “Thou Shall Not” becomes “I Don’t Want To”. That is the evidence of repentance. That’s how you’ll know you’ve repented.
“Repent and believe the Gospel.”

Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the 𝒔𝒖𝒃𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆 of things hoped for, the 𝒆𝒗𝒊𝒅𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆 of things not seen.
The name of the 𝒔𝒖𝒃𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆 is “And it came to pass…”
The 𝒆𝒗𝒊𝒅𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆 is a person’s behavior until it comes to pass.
Hebrews 11 is sometimes called “the hall of faith”. It mentions Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham & Sarah, Issac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses and the prophets. Even though they all had a close encounter with God they were still required to have faith! They were justified by acting in faith, doing what God told them to do. We can know God interacted with them because we see the 𝑒𝑣𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑒 of what happened when they acted in faith.
The same is true of our own actions. When we behave in a Godly way, not only we ourselves but others too have evidence of our faith.
Faith is the currency of the Kingdom. Faith is like a coin where Belief and Action are flip sides of that coin.
“Your Faith has made you well” and “Faith without works (action) is dead.”
Adam disbelieved God and acted on his disbelief. We are to believe God and act on that belief.

𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐃𝐨 𝐈 𝐍𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐅𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐡?
In conversations with atheists, they continually demand, “prove to me God exists”. They reject the notion of faith.
If “the just shall live by faith” then without faith one cannot be justified. The very thing atheists demand – absolute undeniable proof, would disqualify them for justification.
Recently I was watching videos of NDE’s (Near Death Experiences). In all the tellings of these experiences there is one common element; after death all doubt is removed. Whether it’s a Heavenly or Hellish experience after death, they have absolute undeniable certainty of the truth of God. They know the Truth. However when they “come back” to this life they still have to demonstrate faith when explaining their experience to others.
In the presence of absolute undeniable certainty, Faith is simply impossible. They are exact opposites. In the afterlife Faith does not exist any longer. When there is no faith possible neither is there any possibility of justification by faith. Justification comes only by faith.
When a person dies and experiences absolute undeniable certainty their fate is permanently sealed. If they did not have justification by faith in this life, they cannot achieve it after death. This is why Hell is permanent. There is no faith in Hell, only absolute certainty.
Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
Jesus explained that faith is required in this life before we die. “…that whosoever shall believe in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

Where and who is Esmail Qaani???
Esmail Qaani (also spelled Ismail Qaani or Esmail Ghaani), the commander of Iran’s IRGC Quds Force since 2020, has an unknown current location as of March 8, 2026. His whereabouts have been shrouded in intense speculation, rumors, and conflicting unverified reports amid the ongoing Iran-Israel conflict and recent escalations (including strikes that killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on February 28, 2026).Key points from the latest information:
No official confirmation from Iran — Iranian state media and authorities have remained silent on his status, with no recent public appearances, statements, or denials addressing the rumors directly.
Rumors of execution or arrest by Iran — Multiple Arab media outlets, social media claims, and fringe reports allege he was detained or executed by the IRGC on suspicion of espionage for Israel (Mossad). This stems from his repeated “survivals” of major strikes that killed other top figures (e.g., near-misses tied to deaths of Nasrallah, Haniyeh, and now Khamenei), fueling paranoia that he leaked information or was suspiciously absent. These claims remain unverified, often labeled as possible disinformation or psychological warfare.
Contradictory claims of defection to Israel — Social media posts (including satirical or meme-style ones) and unconfirmed reports assert he is “safe in Israel,” portrayed as a long-term Mossad asset (e.g., “Agent 47”) who helped coordinate strikes. Some even include fabricated images or stories of him receiving awards in Israel. These appear largely as online disinformation, memes, or exaggeration, with no credible evidence from major outlets.
Other reports — Some sources describe him as still one of the highest-ranking surviving Iranian military officials, potentially active despite the Quds Force headquarters being destroyed in recent strikes. He has a history of “disappearing” and resurfacing (e.g., declared dead in 2024/2025 reports, then reappearing in Tehran).
In summary, there is no reliable, confirmed information on his exact location right now. The situation is chaotic due to the fog of war, internal Iranian purges, and rampant online rumors (including obvious fakes and satire). He is most likely still in Iran (possibly detained, in hiding, or operating covertly), but nothing definitive exists beyond speculation. If new official statements emerge from Tehran or major outlets, that could clarify things quickly. -Grok

So why is the arrival of the God/Man such good news? The kingdom of God has come. God and Man are rejoined. God has come in person to accomplish it. But the barrier of sin must be dealt with.
The Greek philosopher Socrates made a very insightful observation. He said to his student Plato, “It may be that the Deity can forgive sins, but I do not see how.”
The problem of sin is, how can God forgive it? If God just dismisses it, then it’s not really sin and God would be a liar. If God forgave some people and not others then God is unfair and playing favorites therefore a hypocrite. Sin must be justly dealt with.
If someone is punished for sin, then they suffer for themselves. That’s not forgiveness. Neither can forgiveness come by another person taking someone else’s punishment because “all have sinned, fall short of the glory of God” and deserve their own punishment. For forgiveness to happen, there must be a sinless substitute to accept the judgment and condemnation of death.
Everyone is born under the broken covenant of Adam. So there is no suitable sinless substitute, even among all the animals. Remember what happened when God brought all the animals to Adam? “But for Adam there was not found a helper comparable to him.” This is why animal sacrifice is insufficient and not permanent. But it did point to what would come.
The God/man is different and unique, yet at the same time a comparable helper. He was not born under the broken covenant of a man, because he was fathered from outside the covenant of Adam. He was the only other man directly begotten by God, yet unlike Adam He was also God. Because the Woman Eve was not the representative of the first covenant, her Seed “the Seed of the Woman” would be qualified, but the seed of the Man would not. Because Jesus is born of a woman, He is related to us. He is the Kinsman Redeemer.
Jesus lived a sinless life. His only purpose was to remain obedient to doing His Father’s will. God’s will is known by His Ten Commandments which are summarized as “Love God, Love One Another.” Jesus’s only desire was to remain obedient to His Father.
Jesus remained obedient to all the Law to demonstrate His humanity, and performed miracles to demonstrate His divinity.
As with Adam, the forces of darkness tried to get Jesus to fail in remaining obedient. He was tempted. (The devil tried to get Him to eat while He was fasting, to commit the same sin as Adam). He was ridiculed and falsely accused. He was arrested and tortured. They eventually killed Him with an excruciating death on the cross. But through it all He remained obedient to His Father. They couldn’t get Him to disobey God. He kept the terms of the Covenant even unto the exit, which is death. This is why He declared with His dying breath “It is finished”.
The punishment for breaking covenant is separation from God and that separation is death. The exit from the covenant is death. Because Jesus remained obedient to God until death He didn’t deserve death. He was the only one to ever accomplish this. Therefore death has no legal claim on Him. Ever. It’s why He was resurrected.
Romans 6:9 …knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him.
His perfect obedience can’t be undone. He fulfilled the covenant of obedience to God and exited the covenant. It was the path which was known only by Him that “To conquer death you only have to die.”
If Adam hadn’t eaten the forbidden fruit he would have been the Savior because nothing happened to Eve and Eve is the mother of all living. Adam could have interceded for her and God could forgive her. All downstream from them would have been protected by Adam’s obedience. However, there would always remain the possibility of Adam disobeying. Mankind would be eternally vulnerable, totally dependent on his obedience. The words “It is finished” could never have been spoken so long as Adam remained alive.
Jesus was killed for His obedience. His perfect obedience is permanently sealed in His blood. There is now no risk or vulnerability of disobedience by the New Covenant Representative.
Romans 8:1-2 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death
He alone paid the price of death which was undeserved. He completed the covenant and exited it. Because His death, which is separation from God is undeserved, He has conquered death not just for Himself but all who are under the New Covenant.
Romans 5:18-19 Therefore, as through one man’s offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one Man’s righteous act the free gift came to all men, resulting in justification of life. For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man’s obedience many will be made righteous.
Matthew 18:6-7 But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea. Woe to the world for the causes of sin. These stumbling blocks must come, but woe to the man through whom they come!
The Epstein story is a humanity story.
This is not a political issue. Both the Republican and Democratic parties have skin in the game and blame. I am not interested in hearing how one party is not as bad as the other. I don’t care what tribe you belong to. I don’t care if you swallow a red pill or a blue pill. I don’t care who your “idol” politician or hero or heroin is.
Does any one have any confidence justice will be served??? As citizens, we should DEMAND JUSTICE!!!
Stop spending money at their places of business. Stop spending money at the box office of their movies. Stop spend money for their ability to entertain you. Stop spending money on their music. Stop buying athletic tickets to their games. Stop watching their TV shows. Stop buying their products for sale. Cut off their resources!!!
Full disclosure, I have been a Libertarian for over 14 years. I have been thoroughly disgusted with the 2 party system for a long time. That said, there are plenty of issues being a Libertarian. The primary issue as I see it is the abuse and perversions of freedoms. I digress…
