‘Jesus knew their thoughts, and said to them:
Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation;
and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand.’ Matthew 12:25
When he was on earth, Jesus behaved himself differently to different groups of people. Some would have called him ‘prejudiced’ and they’d have been right. Jesus prejudged men.
With the multitudes Jesus showed compassion, responding to their pathos with pity. Even knowing that they’d later call for his crucifixion, he’d tenderly fed, taught, and healed them, as a shepherd his sheep. Then, after 40 hours of torture, hanging on the cross, he asked ‘Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do’. The multitudes were pitiably ignorant, and foolish. Not commendable - but not sinister.
For the Pharisees, on the other hand, Jesus never sought, or extended forgiveness. Rather, among the curses he pronounced upon them, was ‘Ye shall die in your sins’.
Where the multitudes were happlessly employed in their mindless disgrace of condemming an innocent man to death, the phariseeical element was the mastermind of the outrage. Theirs was a murderous intent born of: unmitigated jealously (VIZ - the crowds were following Jesus, and not them), a deep seated hatred1 for the man who didn’t come to them as a king like Solomon; who refused to grovel to them or award them with due obsequity for their claim to have sprung from the loins of Abraham. They were not interested in begin ‘taught’ by him, as the crowds were; but in being ‘regarded’ as ‘spiritual nobility’.
This is the same spirit of arrogance demonstrated against the man born blind, that Jesus healed in John chapter 9: VIZ:
‘They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.’ John 9:34
(This spiritual arrogance is still found in churches today where one is less interested in seeing a man healed, than they are being offended that they were not the actors.)
The Lord further fired up the Phariseeic high blood pressure prophesying -”Many will come from the East and the West and sit down with Abraham, Jacob, and Isaac in the Kingdom of Heaven, but the ‘children of the Kingdom’ (them) will be cast out into outer darkness (Matthew 8:12).
The Lord had the pharisees prejudged - just as you’d would expect of someone who ‘knew their thoughts’. Jesus was copying His Father. He always did the Fathers’s will..
‘I delight to do thy will, O my God: Yea, thy law is within my heart.’ Psalm 40:8
And what is the Father’s will - if not identifying the hearts of men and reacting accordingly?
‘With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful;
with an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright;
With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure;
and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself froward.’ Psalm 18:25 - 26
Jesus came to his own, and his own received him not. He said, if they hated me, they will hate you. WHO will they hate? Those who are copying him. Who does the hating? Now then, that is the interesting part..
Jesus said our foes would be even ‘those of our own households.’
Have you ever experienced that? I have. Consider what just happened..
For the first time EVER, in December, 2024, my oldest sister and youngest brother came to town where I live, to visit our oldest brother George. (George has lived here since our mother died in 1977, in an adult assisted residence; as he is blind, and epileptic and my dad didn’t want to take care of him) I spoke to George just before Christmas, and found out that my siblings had just been here! (Earlier last Fall, in a rare call from my sister - she said she planned to finally visit George, (She has not been here since he moved here!) Naturally, I invited her to stay in my house.)
She came with my younger brother, but I didn‘t know it. They were 10 minutes from my house.. But they did not let me know they came; They did not stop by. Nor did they call though we haven’t seen each other in over 20 years. But, then, 30 years ago neither did my younger brother invite me and my then husband to his wedding. Why? Am I so awful? (Frankly in those days I was a pushover, a door mat- never offending anyone) My crime - I was a Christian - and most of my siblings hate that.
What amazes me to this day is that my father went to my brother’s wedding.. I saw the photos eventually, the whole happy family, 5 siblings.. one dad.. no Victoria, and everyone smiling for the camera. In the 1980s I spent 15 years of holidays alone, (before I got married for a short time), while my father and siblings gathered for Thanksgiving, and Christmases at my brother’s house, without inviting me.. Sometimes I was with friends.)
Hated without a cause?
How about going into a store you have never been in before, to be regarded by the shopkeeper with a distain like the Russians would say - ‘As if you ‘shit in their pocket’.. Someone that doesn’t know you from Adam, but acts like they wish you were dead.. Been there?
satan is the great divider. I call him the ‘hoarse whisperer’. he speaks into the ears of all men - only some saints have learned - by practice - to not listen to him. MOST people never learn to distinguish his voice. Some never try.
Jesus said a nation divided cannot stand. He also said a HOUSE divided cannot stand. We are seeing this play out in all walks of life.. from families to churches to nations.
FAMILY:
Our family name stopped with my dad. 4 of his children had NO Children. My younger brother had 1 daughter, no sons. (My son’s last name is his dad’s) How did this happen? Our house was divided. No unity. My father pitted each of his children against the other, how? No love. He made us feel unloved, unworthy, in competition for approval. The antithesis of the love of God in Christ our Lord. No spirit of Christ was in him, or my angry mother. The hoarse whisperer spoke into everyone’s ears - and having no counterbalance, no holy spirit to help them distinguish the voices - they obeyed the self destructive spirits, and the damage was done. 4 of my siblings never married, and never had children. My younger ‘married’ brother’s wife divorced him and she later committed suicide. Ours was a house - divided - and brought to desolation.
The CHURCH:
The same spirit of division - with roots in unbelief, jealousy, spiritual arrogance, and lusts of the flesh - is very much alive in the Church of God in Christ.
The very first glaring example is the astonishing fact of 45,000 denominations of Christianity on Earth. Is Christ divided? I thought the Book says, we have ONE God, and ONE Lord, and ONE baptism, ONE Faith, and ONE spirit..? So where do you get 45,000 denominations? For starters few Christians are disciples. The proportions today are as in the Lord’s day. 120 to 10,000. When a saint, or a minister does not ‘ask at his mouth’, the answers may be different from saint to saint, or from another minister -all conceived as it were, in the heart of each man - according to the specific traditions of men that they adhere to. As many ministers as you have today, you can have ‘faiths’.
Did Jesus give the mulitudes that hearkened to the hoarse whisperer a free pass? No. Did you notice what he did for them? He asked God to FORGIVE THEM. Will they pay for their unbelief? If they never came to Christ, and they sinned again, they eventually died in their sins. They had had their chance.
Do you know why Jesus awarded his disciples power to forgive sin? Because we all need it. And because the alternative is someone dying in their sins. If you are not forgiving people and remitting their sins on a regular basis, the brands are staying in the fire. Born again or not, we are not to ‘die in our sins’.
I’ve already told the story, but briefly, in 2018 Jesus sent me to Crouse Hospital in Syracuse, to visit a woman dying of cancer. (I knew her family from a local church here in NY, but never met this woman, who had been sick at home for 3 years. (We did not stay very long in this church which does not believe in healing or the power of God.) When I got to her room, her husband and sister were sitting quietly watching the unconscious woman - who’d been in a coma for a week and was not expected to come out of it. I asked if I might pray, was given eager permission by the husband, whereupon the Lord specifically directed me to ‘remit her sins’. He did not have me ‘pray for healing’.
I found out later, that while I was praying, the heart monitor regulated, and after I left, the woman woke up! She was visited by all 5 of her children, and for 1 happy day, got to say goodbye to everyone, then fell on sleep → forgiven.2
THE NATIONS
You’d have to be Rip Van Winkle - asleep for 20 years - to not be aware of the urgent push by the WEF, WHO, and other such insidious entities - to dissolve all national sovereignty. That is, to meld and melt all the nations into one amorphous blob, ruled over by one figurehead → a man empowered by satan himself.
To achieve this BLENDING - the overlords are using ‘DIVISION’ - by concocting demonic plagues, endless wars, and vigorously provoking conflict between people of different races, religions, nationalities, and political parties - (The train wrecks, weather catastophes, drone circuses, noxious fogging, random shootings, and other acts of ‘terror’ are still part of the same formula; Because when you get people afraid and anxious enough - you can more easily pit them against each other.. Which strategy will see its zenith when the holding power of the Church is removed from the equation.)
The pandemics program having been milked for what was worth- probably didn’t pan out with sufficient casualties, so the next hand to be played is widely expanded war - (Iran is next up to bat), including action right here at home on US soil. This is being actively worked on by the outgoing biden administration, as we speak. (Though Trump, beholden as he is to Israel, will certainly get it going, if biden fails.)
The strategy is to invite an invasion - by presenting the USA as substantially weakened by some catasrophic event in the heartland, (which prognostications are suggesting may be a volcanoe in Yellowstone National Park - an idea they’ve been grooming Americans for, for several years now.)
At which point, having already ignited world wide animosity towards America, as the fueler of the wars in Ukraine and Palestine - (not to mention another 170 nations in the last 100 years) rendering us open to attack, will delight, and relieve many.3
This is where it gets interesting, because the end game is achieving total CHAOS issuing in a world wide demand for renewed ‘ORDER’.
The Helegian Dialectic explains their plans..
The dialectic is a three-part structure consisting of a thesis, antithesis, and synthesis. The idea being the status quo (the thesis) is what they want to change, so a force is created (the antithesis), from which a whole new ‘status quo’, comes of the synthesis of the two prior stages. At least that’s the definition - though their own idea of a synthesis, might not bear the slightest resemblance to the world that was.
In the case of the ‘New World Order’, the antitheses is a challenge to the status - having a predetermined end goal in mind. In other words, the challenge of the ‘challenge’ is to make the status quo seem impossible or undesireable to maintain. Which is where you get ‘Climate Change’, ‘Sustainability’, or the recent Prince Charles zinger ‘Economic inequality’ (Ya don’t say!) etc. In order to justify a complete change, the current state of things must be broken - in fact or fiction - beyond repair.
In 2019, for example, CNN was pushing the narrative that the Capitol Riot attacks, or Donald Trump, or Russia, are responsible for the ‘polarization’ of Americans.. which narrative is as divisive as any one thing the yellow journalism rag might indict.
Then the predetermined answer is the ‘synthesis’.
The Synthesis being feverishly enacted today is the ‘destruction of the nations’ - to justify - ironically - a ‘synthesis of the nations’.
In order to destroy the nations, howeer, they had to first destroy the foundations - which are.. in order..
THE FAMILY
THE CHURCH
All anyone needs to do is read the Communist Manifesto, to see HOW they went about destroying these pillars of society - and then recognize that communism, is zionism by another name. The names change, the programs do not.
As the Lord warned -nations fall the way the families and churches do - by division. But pitting people against each other.
By having grandparents be forbidden to see their grandchildren anymore, because they refuse to get vaccinated - DIVISION;
By having former friends at each others throats because one supports Israel, and the other calls it ‘genocide’.. DIVISION;
By having Churches split after the introduction of homosexual clergy, DIVISION;
By one party building a wall on the southern border, and another inviting in ‘refugees’ by the millions, and planting them in US communities’.. DIVISION;
The list is far too long to completely flesh out here, but ‘you know the thing..’ J. Biden. DIVISION
Then once it is all broken down and divided.. (‘the Antithesis’) the ‘Synthesis’ can be introduced as the best cure - which is………drumroll………….. a ‘New World Order’..
Now, no more wars will need to be started, because the program is in place, and the man of perdition that will promise peace is introduced to the world; and will bring peace, for a time..
The truly tragic aspect of all of this, is that the Lord gave us advance warning. Yet, at the end of the day, how easy it turned out to be, to divide people. Christian or non Christian..
Norman Finkelstein brilliantly said - “If you ever feel useless, don’t forget it took 20 years, trillions of dollars, and 4 US presidents, to replace the Taliban with the Taliban.”
I will paraphrase - “If you ever feel useless, don’t forget that the Lord God led His people out of Egypt with a strong arm, showed them miracle after miracle, conquered their enemies, and brought them to the edge of the Promised land - but none of them made it in, save for 2, Joshua and Caleb - because even God Almighty could not get His people to believe Him.”

“Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him”. I John 3:15
I know there are some who will argue that a born again Christian cannot sin, and therefore cannot die in their sins. This does not agree with Scripture, but I don’t intend to use this time to argue the point. Ask the Lord why he gave us the authority to remit sins, and if it is to be used with Christians.. (Some don’t think Christians can host a demon either. Basically, the new birth is not a blank check to break the commandments of God)

VJC. Some amazing writing here. I really don't know what to say. I do identify with much of it.
Beautiful and inspired piece of writing, thank you for sharing! God bless
