CV-19 News
Several things to highlight this morning and I’ll go through them rather quickly.

This article spells out and references the actual documentation of Pfizer regarding the CV-19 vaccination: COVID ‘Vaccine Shedding’ [1]

It’s important to understand that Pfizer sees people who have taken the vaccine as subjects in a study or trial. That means it’s an “experiment” to see what happens.

Remember, the FDA has only authorized use of the CV-19 vaccine as “emergency usage” since it did not undergo the months of animal and human trials prior to releasing it to the public. The trials are happening now in everyone who has taken the jab. Pfizer has also stated a number of dangerous things can happen to people who have not taken the vaccination but either breathe the exhaled air of a person who has taken the jab or made skin contact with them. These are listed as severe adverse reactions (SAR ), like potential problems with pregnancy for the unvaccinated individual. Lastly, what is very interesting is that anyone who hasn’t taken the jab but has a SAR is reported to Pfizer but not considered to be part of the “study” so that information is kept separate. Convenient.

In another article, Dr. Peter McCullough, a world-renowned, prominent medical doctor with expertise in treating COVID-19 has issued a rebuke to the US government’s handling of CV-19 virus. Consider that we have gone from being vaccinated optionally to almost mandatory vaccinations in the space of about one year.

In spite of potential problems with it, pharma companies are moving ahead with vaccinations to children as young as six months of age. Again, what is taking place now with the vaccination program for CV-19 is nothing more than the exploratory trials that would normally take place during the clinical studies phase of a vaccine prior to its release to the public. At least one two-year old has died within 6 days of receiving the second dose of the CV-19. Moderna, J & J and AstraZeneca are all using young children as test subjects to determine any problems that might arise from the vaccination. Then they simply say that problems are “coincidental.”

As Dr. McCollough (above), notes, during the Swine Flu epidemic, a vaccine was created but pulled when there were 25 deaths associated with it (with 500 cases of paralysis). He states further:

A typical new drug at about five deaths, unexplained deaths, we get a black-box warning, your listeners would see it on TV, saying it may cause death…And then at about 50 deaths it’s pulled off the market. (emphasis added)

Everything being done today is done all in the name of “keeping us safe” and trying to “save lives,” yet people are dying and that doesn’t appear to matter to experts like Fauci. The fear and hype does not equal the actual threat of CV-19. If we set aside all those who have died in nursing homes allegedly from CV-19, the actual death rate is 0.26%. This is paltry considering what lockdowns, social distancing and other alleged preemptive measures have created throughout global society.

While lockdowns continue in many states, one professor is out there explaining the flawed models that were used to put those lockdowns in place.

Systemic Racism, Gas Prices and Lethal AntiFa
David Cloud of Way of Life Literature has noted a thing or two about “systemic racism” in America, in his most recent article. Clearly, the concept, along with everything related to CV-19 and including Critical Race Theory (CRT), is being used to help push the coming “Great Reset.”

Gas shortages like the 1970’s are here again. Fascinating that the last time we had severe gas shortages, it was under another Democrat president’s administration (Carter), and we appear to be there again. Lines are forming outside gas stations, some stations have “no gas” signs, and prices are going up and will continue to go up due to the alleged cyber attack (by Russia, no less), on the Colonial Pipeline in the USA. With that pipeline currently out of commission (having been shut down for safeguards), gas shortages are happening.

Of course, it’s also translates to higher cost of goods, including food. This adds gas costs to consumer goods headed to market via big rigs. Not sure when this will end but it does not appear that the Biden administration is taking the bull by the horns.

On top of this, AntiFa is not only out in force throughout the USA, but they are now armed and dangerous. A group called AntiFaWatch has been cataloging incidents of terror, violence and illegal activities and notes that AntiFa is on the move throughout the United States. They’re not limiting themselves to illegal activities in blue states or cities either, but are now in red areas. They block traffic, but not content to simply “house arresting” people, they are attacking vehicles and people inside the cars, even cars with children. They have clearly upped their game and often carry and brandish long rifles or pistols. In a few situations, they have been shot at (and/or killed), by motorists, but they also shoot at cars trying to flee the violent scene.

Anyone who knows anything about history understands that it is repeating itself and by the book. Prior to the Bolshevik Revolution, criminals were deliberately released from jail/prison and allowed to run amok in society causing massive problems for law-abiding citizens. This ultimately created upheaval and led to the overthrow of that society. This has occurred multiple times throughout history prior to numerous “revolutions.”

It appears that society is being pushed toward massive discontent and upheaval. I believe this is exactly what globalists want to ensure that the “Great Reset” is put into place.

I’m not a prophet or seer as I’ve said many times before, but I don’t see things getting better, do you? Help yourself and your families by being aware of your surroundings. The best defense against AntiFa is to not allow yourself to be put into a situation that could mean having to defend the lives of your family or yourself.

Ask God for guidance, wisdom and discernment. But I would caution that if you are unwilling to delve into His Word daily, He might not be inclined to answer you. Seek Him. Pursue Him through His Word and spend time in specific prayer. Ultimately, it will guard you and your relationship with Him. Let’s look briefly at someone who started correctly but ended badly.

Uzziah
In 2 Chronicles 26, we are introduced to Uzziah, who became king of Judah at the age of 16. This apparently was a decision made by the people of Judah. His reign lasted a total of 52 years. According to Scripture, Uzziah started out very well. As noted in the text, Uzziah “set himself to seek God.” He did this with the help of Zechariah. Please note that Zechariah “…instructed him in the fear of God and as long as he sought the LORD, God made him prosper” (emphasis added).

How many times have I not seen that key in Scripture; the “fear of the LORD”? Here it is again. Fear the LORD. Could it be any plainer? We know that children often love their parents and are loved by those parents. However, there is an element of fear in that relationship that often works to keep children from being rebellious or recalcitrant. As I’ve noted before, it is a fear based on a bit of self-preservation for not wanting to come under a parent’s disciplinary action. As children grow into adults, this often refines itself so that adult children fear causing their parents grief or sadness.

It appears throughout Scripture, the main underlying theme of true followers of God is that we should maintain a level of fear toward Him. Certainly He deserves our fear, if for no other reason than He can destroy the soul. As Christians, we know this will never be something we experience because of our faith in Him, His love for us and the His sealing us with His Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13).

However, it is important to understand that our fear of God should transition over time to a strong, consistent desire to fear grieving Him or saddening Him because of our sin and/or rebelliousness. Uzziah started out very well. He was 16 when he began to rule and he very likely knew he needed the wise counsel of people like Zechariah. He sought it, most likely.

Uzziah made some excellent decisions as well as very bad ones. Under him there was no revival because the people did not see fit to come back to God with a whole heart. Later, Uzziah’s careless attitude ultimately caused his failure. We should take note because it is too easy to fail, isn’t it?

2 Chronicles 26:16 tells us where he started to go wrong.

But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up to his destruction: for he transgressed against the Lord his God, and went into the temple of the Lord to burn incense upon the altar of incense. (KJV; emphasis added)

Isn’t that the way? We come to a place of peace and success and we think we did that and congratulate ourselves because of it. It’s called pride and incrementally overtakes us.

This pride through lack of fear of Uzziah’s caused him to do something sacrilegious and stupid. He actually went into the Temple of God and wanted to burn incense on the altar of incense! In other words, he supremely overstepped the boundaries of his position and tried to do what a king was not allowed to do and was reserved solely for the Aaronic Priesthood.

Azariah, the priest, who was zealous for the LORD, decided to do something about it. He withstood the king. Imagine doing that and the guts it must have taken. Yet, Azariah knew he stood with the Lord and Uzziah stood against God with pride and ego (two of Satan’s biggest tools used against us).

God stepped in to offer “correction” and discipline. After Azariah confronted the king, verse 19 tells us that Uzziah became extremely angry about being thwarted. So, God caused Uzziah to have leprosy starting with his forehead. God could have killed Uzziah right then and there, but chose instead, to make it impossible for him to ever enter the Temple again. He remained king until his death (though an outcast), sharing the reign with his son, Jotham, who took over after Uzziah’s death. I wonder if God would have removed the leprosy had Uzziah truly repented? We simply don’t know as there never appears to have been any repentance on Uzziah’s part until his death.

While fear is the one great motivator to remain true to God, it doesn’t take much for pride and arrogance to push us off the righteous path of fearing the LORD. Look closely at your life as I will mine. Are we in danger of allowing pride to gain a foothold so that we cease fearing the Lord? This is always a possibility and if we dare think it cannot happen, then we know it will or has.

Be faithful in always endeavoring to work out your salvation with fear and trembling (Philippians 2:12).
