There is much speculation as to how, but not only did information survive to post flood peoples along with the spirits of the previous transhuman entities, but again we find giants, as in Goliath and his brothers, not official nephilim but…. They were wiped out by believers (David, Caleb etc), however there are many questions that are even popping up today. Their spiritual lives seem to have lived on as well. Always remember they are not human but some sort of transhumance. Jesus died for humans, He was one and we are made in His image.

There are a multitude of evidences concerning giant oversized ‘transpeople’ from around the world with isolated cases into modern times. They are portrayed as benevolent in some situations, a good deal of information concerning these ‘transpeople’ is often limited and in the USA the Smithsonian appears to have hidden much of it away or something. Indigenous peoples have much to say in their varied but similar oral traditions. I’ll give you a bit of my ‘Dirk Theory’ concerning some of this in a bit.

The UFO phenomena today is interesting in light of these ‘past’ entities that have partial human and partial something else origin. There appears to be awareness of some UFO and alien characteristics in ancient peoples like the Egyptians. A thought to be aware of, is that if the Watchers (angels that were never designed to procreat) could morf or shapeshift or something and develop the working genitalia to procreat with human women, then perhaps we need to be less concerned with their appearance as opposed to any activity that a transhuman might have. The Bible does not seem to speak of other types of nonhuman entities, therefore, I am of the opinion that we are seeing different forms of the same creatures. The alien beings today have left thousands of humans to testify concerning interaction they’ve had with them. There are many who have spoken of sexual examinations of different types. I think that may be a clue. Maybe different forms or plans for these times.

What if the little UFO guys are just morphed Yeti or Bigfoots. Very possible, and a great way to try to confuse believers if the Extra terrestrials are part of the minions of Satan. Look at Psalm 82 and realize that gods in the Hebrew are little g gods. ssSometimes the Bible gives us clues without fuller explanation because God wants us to do some homework. My working theory is that God did not just forget to include completely separate entities that we may need to deal with here on planet earth.

We just do not know enough to be definitive, but knowledge is increasing and many are looking through history, ancient texts, and present examples that are from all around the world. I have a ‘Dirk Theory’ that as the tower of Bable was broken up by God confusing languages, the culprets involved were scattered all over the face of the earth (stated twice) and that is the origin of ‘previous peoples’ and cultures that we puzzel over today. If you have not seen that just give it a little time.

It is certainly very interesting but if the Promised Land teaching that I believe the Bible is presenting is applicable, our position is to be close to the Lord, know His word and His ways and when directed by our counselor and commander in cheif, deal with the giants of whatever form. I doubt they will be giant in stature like before (that was scary in other ages, size doesn’t matter so much today) and I think some technologies will be the next scary thing but God will supply us in greater measure.

Remember, this age of aquarius has a pouring out of water by heavenly beings as it’s sign that I believe God put in place. Humanistic thinking teaches that technology is being poured out as water in this age but my feeling is that while tech will undoubtedly increase the spirit/Spirit is more importantly the real focus. (God put these signs in the sky not to determine the age characteristics but to give us a sign).

Many throughout the world including believers are developing terrifically amazing technology. I expect that to continue, and if the Promised Land is an example for us, we can expect some sort of transhuman confrontation with their tech to try to keep us from rest and prosperity as kingdom expands in society. We are invited to enter His rest in the land of milk and honey. The trick which early Israel did not have was the Union with God that Jesus procured for us along with a counselor who knows tech well. It has been documented numerous times that if we simply state to the aliens (the little UFO guys) that we are Christian, they will leave us alone and not bother us. Selah

A second way to approach this is in Eph.3. As we collectively have the mind of Christ, the Ecclesia will demonstrate the working out of the wisdom of God to the principalities and powers that are behind or driving unrighteousness on our planet.

At this point I’d like to mention that on the 14th of this month, that’s Friday, Dutch Sheets (Give Him 15) is having a prayer time with His brother’s church and they will be confronting the spirits behind the stuff in Iran. This is huge. You have to look up times and other details on line but this is big in the spirit realm I believe.

Of primary importance is the fact that we as believers do not need to fear. Period. The Bible has given us examples and a responsibility to look at and apply those examples. Read about entering the Promised Land again. What does the manna stopping mean to you and are you willing to feed your self in coming days.

I believe it is also important for us to recognise this transition time could be hundreds of years in process so we may only need to begin to appreciate the examples better and eventually help our kids with understandings that are new to us.

We’ve not been this way before, to quote a thought from Joshua, but we can read about things that are examples for us and prepare to some degree. Expect anything from fear or overconfidence to be conveyed to us by the enemy and be fast to run back to God with desire for obedience in the coming land of milk, honey, and rest.

ADD has been an interesting blessing for me. As I mentioned earlier, I discovered the name of the blessing when taking notes in college during a psychology class. I answered the questions and did my diagrams but they didn’t look right so I asked the prof. what was off. He was a personal friend and knew my openness so, he openly asked me questions, while asking the class to pay attention. We discovered both ADD (probably an H too) plus dyslexia.

Now days all this is handled differently. I’ve got other interesting quirks and the ADD somehow helps me see things a bit differently. God seemed to know all about this stuff, and has gently guided me to where I am today. I’d never say I was easy for Him but we’ve had some fun and colossal wrecks. My brain is often in several places at once and can bounce from topic to topic faster than my thinking. My eyes help do the same.

I’d read a passage and my thinking goes all over the place from different angles. It’s a superpower with a missing harness. The ‘gift’ sometimes manifests as chaos, confusion, smart-aleck, brilliant or sometimes prophetic. Rabbit holes are part of my normal thinking. I often live in them and find myself wondering how I got there. It’s not a problem for me but for others - maybe. I had a friend Jeff who loved to talk with me because he thought like that, so we really clicked. (special)

Sometimes God jumps into my thinking and builds understanding that blows me away. He may then open rabbit holes, one after another, that support and explain what He was showing me.

If you read my first substacks with Sitten n Thinken starting in April ‘26 you’ll see some of the results. If you don’t start there many things won’t make sense. It may not anyway, but at least you’d have a chance.

I’m working on becoming an old man, I love God, and I am often overcome by the more of Him. We live in a time with more teaching, Bibles, books, media, time to absorb, it goes on and on. The Him just never ends. I love Job’s statement that ‘these are the mere edges of His ways.’ The edges are the things we see but the whole is what envelops us. Doctrine is like that too.

Most of us have had a ton of teaching and Bible. I’ll guarantee you there is more. Every denomination feels they are the pinnacle of correctness but for others that might be the floor to stand on. The doctrine we embrace is our climax of understanding I’m sure, but it’s not going to get us a heavenly penthouse, it just is and besides there is more.

When I started these articles I thought I’d do a couple a week but now I’m thinking one every two weeks or even more is probably more realistic. My two immediate goals are first, to force me to follow my own thinking toward something I can contain and that can be helpful. I tend to be a bit of a loose cannon sliding around on deck in high seas at times. Secondly, if there is a person that wants to go on maybe I can give them a leg up.

Years ago, one of my sons wanted to ride his horse but he couldn’t really even reach the withers. He could climb in our elevated shed and get the blanket and saddle on the horse then bring it to me (who was working) and I’d tighten things up. I built him a little leather ladder so he could get himself up, getting down was never a problem. The kids could go play tag, hide n seek and who knows what all they did. He just needed a leg up.

I do not need to change anyones theology but maybe give some thoughts that will help develop our own more completely. God gave Peter a dream and sent him to a gentile who then manifested Holy Spirit and the whole existing Bible began to make way for new understanding (still in progress, we are slow). Actually, Paul had to go through the process as well so the two of them went before James and company who ended up saying, ‘ok lets go with that’ and then they found a verse that included gentiles. I’m a gentile recipient.

People are speaking of end times and hoping for some things that recent tradition says will happen. I believe God has more for us to do and I also believe He sent Trump, like a Cyrus, to give us a leg up. We’ve needed that, but now we need to go through doors that are being opened and bring kingdom into our entire spheres of responsibility and influence. We are needing a new perspective or approch, ourselves. Too often the God thing we do is what we call church, but I believe church as we know it, is just to give us a leg up toward ecclesia where things happen that light up and purify culture and the world. That’s just one mountain.

Wouldn’t it have been a bummer if my son had focused on the little leather ladder that gave him a leg up rather than all the stuff he could do with that awesome big horse he was climbing on. I don’t think we appreciate what lays before us. We have no idea how much God has for us to do and the authority He has given us.

At the first of this series I spoke of a coming ‘new age’, and I am expecting that instead of a soon ‘end times’, we will be experiancing things we’ve never dreamed we would experiance and live but saw only traces of in scripture. The concept of golden age has been mentioned but society today does this dualism thing of separating God out so we can’t even see His promises. The issue of the promised land is very strong in scripture but it was only partially realized at that time because of sin, often starting in the kings. We have Holy Spirit and a much better covenant. So we are way more equiped than the Israelits.

Think of this. We often hear people say they are waiting for the rapture so God will swoop us into the sky, but, His promises for us to arise and shine, showing His glory everywhere, and making all principalities and powers confess the wisdom of God manifested by His people seem strangly out of reach. Crazy!

God wants a family to steward the earth. He has said that many times and many ways, so we quit killing spotted owls or some other creature to satisfy our desire to do something good in the world that He said was good. Giants of greed, power, sex, and a whole bunch of other unrighteous values have not been dealt with very well both in and out of His people. Second Chronicles 7:14 demands dealing with ourselves in His ways first, then bringing His ways into fulfilling so many promises that deal with our land. That’s a prophetic way to name everything in our sphere not just what we walk on.

Early on we looked at some motifs that God gave us (and there are more) concerning our own personal lives as we become born again. Those make the picture for man on the earth. His plan. That’s the plan and now He wants to help us ‘flesh’ it out. The closing line on my emails for as long as I’ve used the internet is—- “The secret in life, is to be so close to God that His essence flows through everything you.” Job said in chapter 23 that ‘He will perform that which is appointed for me.”

We toil and labor, but only in Him is the ‘house’ built - being us personally or the culture or nation or earth. Only lately are people realizing we are to disciple nations. The depth of promised land is right now beyond our understanding, let alone grasp, but its coming quickly.

I believe we are getting close, very close, and He will give us a leg up, we need it. We need to look around and spend time in the quiet place. That’s where He sets us up. Don’t listen to ‘fake news’ or fear the circumstances, they have never produced what God wants. They are designed to distort our thinking. (By guess who). If it seems dark, go camp out (alone with God in a booth like in the feast) with just Isaiah 60’s first few verses, and stick till the darkness out there is food for you. Caleb and Joshua saw it that way which is a picture to help us rise and shine. We literally believe one or the other.

All this stuff in the Bible is a prophetic way that God wants us to live, grasp, or then to overcome. His plan for us is health, wealth, and righteousness, here in real time. Its coming and quickly so He is giving us understanding. Remember the wonderful song about hearing the train on the edge of town? Antennas up.

There is an old saying that if you don’t have a goal you won’t ever hit it. Our goal is not heaven, that’s guaranteed when we believe and are born again. That’s like a cocktail at the end of the day, If that’s your goal you’ve got other serious problems. I have an old refrigerator magnet thats smaller than a calling card which says “EMBRACE THE JOURNEY”. Forty five years ago I ‘got it’ (eureka), there is a life with God in us coming here on this earth and my job was to get involved and bring people with me. That’s a long time for a refrigerator magnet with a bunch of smiling geeks on a rollercoaster to stir someone, but it still does.

There are many things coming in this ‘new age’ for us to bring forth, although I sometimes look and wonder how in the world God can do it through us. Every time I begin to have these thoughts I remember Gideon. God set up the situation in the natural so that even today there is no way unless God does a miracle and that’s an example for us today. I know they are great stories but they’re coming so read your Bible because God has alot of examples and ways to do things and He is the same yesterday, today and forever. We just tend to not see it (again see dualism) and He has seasons of great action. Trump and the things he accomplishes are a great place to look for things that are not normal natural. Yes he has to battle through some stuff but that is Bible too. When I run into folks that have TDS I just remember the intensity is kinda religious and has spirits behind it too. (not good ones).

When you surf and see a wave you want, you start before it gets to you and then you’ll experiance a bit where it feels like you are going backwards and lower before you start to rise and get propelled forward. Many are feeling some of that now so paddle harder.

So what do we do? Greater intimacy than ever with God, basics in spiritual warfare, be ready to work with God doing things, learn our place, and humility are things I think of now. Last is not least. I’m sure it will be different than we can think, we’ve never been there before. The sons of Issachar knew the signs of the times and knew what to do. The signs are showing us something, let’s listen.

The most common form of dualism is body/soul. Mostly, good theology helps us separate or intigrate these two concepts and both happen in Christian theology. Questions arise with physical death, and resurrection, like what’s where. The Bible keeps dualism in balance but Gnosticism and some other cultic doctrine twist orthodox understanding. General humanistic thinking has trouble with the Bible’s approch as we might expect but it seldom is an issue. Mostly the side’s don’t try to integrate.

This is my concern, we have been born again and now there is a spiritual dimension that must be active in us and it needs to be part of our daily life. Walking in the Spirit, being formed into the image of Christ, or bringing the Kingdom are to be part of our heritage. We now have two trains of thought going as one and often those two can pull in different directions making us less effective in culture or the world, or many Christians just don’t get involved in those areas. Politics, media, medical, and other areas suffer from dualistic approaches from believers. Our influence needs to be involved with both trains of thought.

Example, we are hearing a good deal about fraud and corruption in our government. The current legal and generally humanistic way to deal with this is laws and punishment. That will be partially effective and keep the government and lawyers very busy but the Christian should be seeing it two ways. The natural, which keeps needing new and more laws and punishments. The spiritual dimension adds a whole new approch to rectifying the problem. What is behind or pushing the persons involved in the fraud and corruption. The spiritual dimension is to help us see under the activity for the real problem. Gods solution involves repentance and maybe restitution if possible, that can’t work unless spiritual people work spiritually.

We no longer battle against flesh and blood. It is principalities, powers and spiritual forces that get people to do their bidding. That’s the church’s (ecclesia) job. (we will look into that whole concept one of these days.) Ultimately, laws have never worked. Never. If we want to be the answer that God wants us to be, we are going to have to get into His ways, Jesus did what the Father was doing and He doing government things right now. Dualism points at the broken civil laws and asks for new better laws but that is not the true battle for the people of God. The part that was separated out needs to be addressed and dealt with. The problem is that we have not practiced God’s ways to identify, and battle. Dutch Sheets in his GIVE HIM 15 is beginning to teach concerning this type of prayer being used to deal with spiritual forces in government.

This way of building has to be done by God, and He wants to do it through us. Remember Job (23) said “He will perform that which is appointed for me.” Thats part of it. Remember going into the third pattern in the motif( in earlier articles)? That all calls for deep interaction with with God implying doing it God’s way. Remember Joshua said “we’ve never been this way before”. Everything God’s way. Remember the ‘new age’ I’ve been pushing? It’s all lining up and the dreggs of dualism that I’ve seldom seen information or writing on is going to be part of this new adventure to establish the Kingdom of God.

You are loved, Dirk

1. There are two things that I believe look small or perhaps inconsequential that can set us up for greater and fuller involvement in the days to come. One is President Trump, who for some is just another political big shot seeking his grand plan. If we take the Cyrus connection seriously there is a totally different perspective that has to be embraced.

The whole concept of God interacting in the affairs of man is accepted by believers. A viable example in the scriptures that corresponds enough to stir many to wrestle with the idea of Biblical quality interaction right now, is difficult for people to gloss over. If you accept that, then you must look at Trumps efforts with some sort of Godly appreciation.

If not, then we just go about our day and politics is politics, we choose what we personally want to like or not like. Free but maybe less connected.

In the first scenario, trust and getting onboard with God is foundational to catch the wave into this new era. A nice thing about God is that whether you show up in the early morning or the eleventh hour, you get on board. A wonderful thing for early adopters though, is watching things unfold or seeing the ways of God, but the likelyhood of partnering with God is priceless.

I do not personally think I’ll be above ground when things develop to any fullness, but I am thankful to watch these times where God is interacting with men to bring forth His kingdom life on this earth like it is in heaven. (Again, always ask for the eyes to see.)

I see POTUS getting the whole world closer to world peace and redeveloping a financel system that will not be manipulated by London and elite cartels or governments. We have some to go but things are falling more into place for less corruption and the masses literally being a part of the equation.

That brings us to appreciate how God is using Trump to expose corruption and fraud not only here but with whole countries. The Kingdom of God is a matter of peace, joy and righteousness. Kingdom of God plays out in many ways including our hearts and minds plus the grand scope of nations. Right now it is very apparent that even our country is struggeling with godly/ungodly divides. The water is so muddy you can’t see the dirt much of the time. But the stirring that causes this will allow more water to be filtered until the base dirt will be apparent and can be dealt with.

Step by step its coming. We want to be free but true freedom is bonded to Christ, some do not know that and use their freedom to cheat and steal. In America we are just begining to to understand what John Adams and other founders meant when they said democracy will only truly work when the nation has the moral strength found in a Christian nation. That is being worked out, I believe.

We always need to remember that neither Trump nor the nation is the issue. Kingdom of God is the issue. In the promised land Joshua ran into the Lord of Hosts and asked Him whose side He was on. I believe is was Jesus and He said, Neither, I am the commander of the Lord’s army and I’m here. It’s not about Trump It’s about God and His plan. Period. He’s here.

In the promised land a few bad eggs had to be dealt with. People are people, until the born again thing. Even then we are still trying to get ahold of what we are because we operate so much on our feelings and experiances instead of really being different as a mature child of God. Our president is going through all that too but I believe he has been selected for what God wants him to do. I know a little from the media about his mean tweets and past but I think he has been picked by God for many properties including these tough and rough edges. (look at what he has had to go through)

Keep an eye on the results of Trump being in the position he is in and see if the world is indeed different after Trump. Johnny Enlow says the world will be known as before Trump and after Trump.

2. The second thing that is probably off the radar for a great percentage of humanity right now, is the book of 1 Enoch. Don’t run, let’s be poor in spirit and allow God to speak. Jesus, in Matthew 22:29 rebuked the sadducees as they tried to trick Him concerning details of the resurrection and marriage. He answered them by stating they did not know the power of God nor the scriptures. You won’t find a reference to that in the Bible canon we generally use today, but it is stated with reason, in 1 Enoch15:7. There are a few other passages that do not make immediate sense in our Bibles, but when cross referenced with Enoch are much more easily understood. It is appearant that Jesus and several of the writers in both the old and new testaments were very familure with 1Enoch and also assumed it to have authority.

I find it interesting that Enoch said in 1 Enoch 1:2 that God opened his eyes and he saw the vision of the Holy One in heaven. The angels showed him and he heard everything from them and he saw and understood, also and importantly, it was not for this generation but for a remote one to come. There are other things that have been sealed up in Scripture waiting for an appointed time in Old Testament books. So there’s that.

I’ve personally paid some attention to 1 Enoch for a number of years and found some versions to be difficult to absorb, my favorite is by Johnny Enlow titled ENOCH PARAPHRASE AND COMENTARY, also Michael Heiser has a COMPANION TO ENOCH that only covers part of Enoch and is a bit more technical.

I’m no scholar and the great dilemmas that I see are #1. Are we going to draw from 1 Enoch and how much to trust it? #2. Should it be included with our present collection that we call Bible? #3. Why was it left out?

#2. First I’ll wait till there is a stronger consensus by a variety of godly people to recognise it as canon. (personally I do think it is headed that way). Number #1 is tough because it can easily effect some of my thinking now. If Jesus refered to it, that’s more than a big acceptance. There are several other writers that seem to rely on Enoch as well. It does not change doctrine that I flow with but might for some in at least one point. In at least two Christian traditions 1Enoch has been in their canon since their very early christian formation. Enoch also points to the historical Christ in ways that were pretty direct for the time really bothered Jewish leaders as Jesus came on stage.

3. That may have generated a political refusal of Enoch by the Jewish scholars who did not accept Jesus as messiah. They may have pointed out to the Christian leaders who were forming the New Testament, that their position was the long term authority for the Old testament. (a long time ago) It is interesting that at the time of the discovery of the Dead Sea scrolls at Qumran there were 18 different examples of 1Enoch found.

I know that the force of potential impact of 1Enoch is not critical for much doctrine but God asked me if my dabbeling in end times understanding sounded like Him? I knew the popular theories did not. Later in reading 1 Enoch I felt the pleasure of God. It seems to me that Enoch goes beyond ‘post millenial’ ( my old favorite end time senario) expecting what will one day be the ‘church’ arising and shining while the unrighteous will be driven out in their own tribulation. ( I liked that Enoch actually enhanced what I’ve gleaned from the word and time in the secret place). Ego so don’t get excited.

The idea of all this is to look for ‘things’ that could be important if we are at a turning point that is much larger than our daily personal lives yet ties us into a plan that God is unfolding.

Love, Dirk

Yes, the constellation was changing from a Aries ( ram, type of sacrifice of the time) to Pisces (fish, fishers of men or Christians) but that probably was less than interesting to all but a few nerds. Rome was slowly expanding and Israel had been without a good word from God for 400 years, with a couple skirmishes and lots of false messiahs and so forth. Nothing to see here. A little later a Baby was born that changed the whole age, still people mostly didn’t see anything different, I mean who’s going to listen to some shepherds about world changing events. Sure, a couple old folks in the temple were excited, but I’ll bet it wasn’t on the front page, maybe in the social section.

Personally, I think the apostles, the women and other devout disciples, and religious as well as world leaders were mostly glued to the happenings of the day. Although the famous Magi and the Roman centurion along with a few people said “Truly this was the Son of God”. I’d guess they were in a state of mind that pointed toward something dramatic coming. (in Roman theology killing a god or his son brought consequencess, devastating consequences).

We, have clues and I pray for ‘eyes to see’ on a regular basis because God is always doing things. With God there is ALWAYS more. Never restrict Him.

Most Christians are looking forward to revival because, one, we always need it and two, it tends to gain souls for heaven. Also, its just fun. On the other hand, I believe we really need a reformation. We’ve had two, the first was the whole ministry of Jesus. Nothing in the spiritual world stayed the same, from the location where we met God, to the ways we interacted with Him, a totally different type of authority with a new relationship, so much more, but simply, our concept of God was redefined.

Then with the protestant reformation we saw more change. The elites were less in control and the Word was made available in totally new ways to the common people. Grace and faith were understood in a dramatically different way. Hundreds of people began to learn of the more of God through revelation. Hundreds of denominations and expressions of love and devotion for God began to pop up all over the world.

In the time of change that is in process right now, I believe a new reformation is beginning. The Kingdom of God that we have all prayed for through both reformations is being taught. We’ve not been this way before but if you think we’ve seen change, hang on, it’s about to get exciting beyond our wildest dreams. Picture kingdom of God on all seven mountains (one day I’ll talk more on that but Johnny Enlow is the place to start understanding at least this one stratagy. He has several books. We have the mind of Christ and the W in We is big. No group is going to do more than a chip unless it joins to really be We.

There has been an end time teaching that says God failed but will rapture or scoop us up before we get demolished by the tribulation. I think God wants those who think that way to look up in new ways toward an amazing God that is going to use His family to establish the Kingdom as a stool for Jesus’ feet. Here on earth like it is in heaven is not just meant to be part of a great prayer. It’s a plan that we talk with God about.

We are looking toward a golden age. Early on the Bible called us Christians which means little Christs. Now picture a couple billion of them with heaven pouring out the Spirit of God in new ways we’ve never seen before, for each that will allow it.

Tomorrow as a nation we are going to do something that we’ve not done before. “REDEDICATE 250” our nation back to God. Dutch Sheets has a daily article and/or teaching concerning getting our nation back to God. It’s called “Give Him 15”. It is excellent, and worth your fifteen minutes each day. In one of the receint articles he spoke of the point where Joshua went to the Israelites and said to “Sanctify or Rededicate yourselves, for in three days we will cross the river into the promised land”. That sounds familiar.

So many things going on, God give us eyes to see! Biblically, this is very big. My wife and I are going to stay home with God tomorrow, period.

Next, it’s time to talk about President Trump. He has called for this Rededication, he has said we are going into a golden age, he is redesigning geopolitics, he is exposing so many nasty things at home and around the world and changing so much it seems impossible. It’s a change of Biblical proportions. Many, including myself see Trump as a type of Cyrus. In the 7 mountains scenario, this is going to the top of the mountain of government and claiming it for God. Then we have to get to work.

If you can’t see it, ask God for the eyes to see then get off your horse and ask God to help you be poor in spirit. The anointing on Trump for what God has asked him to do is fun to watch. Many that can’t see it, look to his previous life and say there is immorality or other things, TDS is a sad state of judgmentalism that goes right around God’s mercy and forgiveness. Personally, I was probably worse, of course I did not have a spotlight on me so I could get away with more and more often. I’m totally serious but so was God when He began to deal with me, I’ve been forgiven by God but still keep running to Him.

God uses people to accomplish His plans. We not only are getting to watch a changing of the ages but openly seeing a God Biblical strategy unfold. Check Is. 45. We are so blessed.

A few things have been presented like new global order, or WEFs new order, as well as a myriad of odds and ends like Ai, geopolitical changes and even many in the church saying we are going from the church age to the kingdom age. We looked very briefly at the Mazzaroth or Zodiac and saw that constelations may be declaring some sort of major change into this new era or age.

Next, we looked at a three part Bible motif with five examples moving toward a theme steeped in a much deeper relationship with God.

The Mazzaroth, in this coming sign pointed toward water being poured out by a heavenly being, it’s likely this Biblically alludes to the Spirit, and so the Bible motif themes point to the work of the Spirit in deepening ways as well. I’m thinking that Spirit influence is going to be of greater importance than it has ever been for people on the planet.

The frequency of Jesus’ teaching and encouragement on kingdom is almost surprising when you search it out. Kingdom of God is all over the place and yet coming. My feeling is that we are moving toward a greater fullness of this kingdom of God senario and ultimatly it will be a defining characteristic in the earth for a long long time.

I do not expect it to happen overnight. As with Chris Carter and his doors (post #2) it is a real possibility that it could be in the hundreds of years before it is apparent in manifestation. Some scientists believe the shift from Pisces (last age) to Aquarius (coming age) could be centered at 2600AD rather than 2000 or 2100AD. That might be a good thing as we probably need more time to realign some of our understandings, especially with new information that continues to come in.

If you ever want to be streached in Biblical understanding on these lines read Michael Heisers THE UNSEEN REALM or just watch some of his teaching on YouTube. He was a big time scholar on ancient languages and has studied pagan and other writings that influenced the understanding and content of the Hebrew writing. It’s fascinating to be able to grasp some of the thoughts that just haven’t seemed to make immediate sense but are becoming clearer.

One time nearly forty five years ago I felt God say clearly to me that ‘if I were to see the church the way it will be, from the perspective that I have now, I would not recognise it’. I’m confident that it was God talking to me and yes I’ve tried big and little churches, main denominations, and store fronts, house churches, and other smaller groups, web churches and on and on. Still looking!

In my later years I spent about 5 years as a hospice Chaplin. I really enjoyed it but was suprised that many of the strong main-line denomination lifelong people had found a new and profound relationship with God and stayed home to nurture that rather than attend ‘church’ even though they would have been able. Knowing that demographic, breaking a ‘rule’ like that is worth examination. After many meetings with a good number of these folks, and what I’ve been observing from friends plus other sourses, I am thinking we are going toward a grass roots ‘church’ or ecclesia that will fit the times and move the 7mountain mandate toward greater fullness in society.

I think eventually God’s presence will be so in and so on us that we will be more like Jesus and do only what Father is doing. BEYOND HUMAN is a book by Justin Abram that will blow your mind concerning the plan of God for your life and who you really are now, that kicked into gear when you were born again. Probably not perfection till Jesus comes back, but as Christians (little Christ’s) we will make a whole lot of difference.

The 7mountain mandate pushes 7 arenas of cultural influence - education, religion, family, business, government/military, arts/entertainment and Media. Johnny Enlow has a number of books on this subject. Now think of God’s will or character being all through these areas. That’s kingdom of God. It is always important to remember christians do not rule as gentiles do but rather as servants, this is a kingdom built on attraction to God. Ever wonder why Jesus didn’t go out trying to gather crowds? He did kingdom and taught kingdom and people couldn’t get enough.

As we look about these days it is easy to see that something is going on that is not quite business as usual. I have to bring up President Trump, there are many unusual things that are exceptional, no extraordinary, about him, even those who do not like him are almost religious in their hate. Early on Lance Walnau propheticaly felt God say he was like a Biblical King Cyrus, who despite not being from Israel or Jewish, used his position as a king (leader) to help Israel go back to their home country. I personally told my congregation, before he announced his running, that we needed someone like him and I listed some attributes that were not the normal presidential.

That thinking has been quite popular with many believers and you can see an anointing that has manifested in a variety of ways. So far there have been at least three assignation attempts that did not succeed, one, that was miraculous it seemed. More than that, his cabinet doesnt leak, Potus makes decisions directing actions in the whole world and at home that may seem iffy to many but bears good further fruit where it was not expected. Time and again Trump has been concerned for the civilians in wars of other countries. He has made decisions that went against the elite would be rulers, financial leaders and continuing concern for the comon people. We’ve been watching a servant leader anointed by God and not even known it.

Jeff Childers on a Substack COVID AND COFFEE is brilliantly showing Trump’s genius in many political areas with an extra emphasis of caring for the American peoples health. At PROMETHIAN ACTION Susan Kokinda has been showing some astounding Trump stratagies to dismantel financial super cartels that have long been running world finances and using immoral means to shore up their own desires. These are just a few of the wonderful things that are leading into this new age that I believe we are moving into.

There was a movie PERFECT STORM that showed, well, a perfect storm for taking a boat down but we are watching a perfect storm but this time the world goes into a time of Godly prosperity and peace that few have been able to imagine until Jesus comes back. Which brings me to my belief that the body will be almost spotless and wrinkle free, accomplishing things we’ve all read in the Bible but have no context for. Only a miracle that had no place unless God puts a perfect series of events on track.

In the last one hundred and fifty years the end times scenarios have changed greatly. Very popular now is the rapture, which is a sudden beaming up of believers to Jesus or heaven, usually with the antichrist who is an evil world ruler being involved at one point or another here on earth bringing much sorrow.

Before this thinking, which for a number of reasons I do not expect to happen, there was a hope more along the line that I have been talking about in these posts. The most common but kinda older and less prominant thought today is called post millennialism , a fancy name, which very simply would involve the saints developing with deep relationship with God, the kingdom for one thousand years before Jesus’ return. Naturally, there are lifetimes of study and ideas with all these and more possibilities.

Prophetic teaching and imagery in the Bible is difficult to interpret so the resulting ideas are varied. Two schools of theological study can affect the results also. Systematic theology is probably the most well known with scholars taking every scripture that relates to a certain topic, say prophecy, and putting it in a file then going through the file to decide what it says about that topic.

Biblical theology simply says that you must take the whole Bible to explain a topic. My tendency is to trust that because many topics have specific elements that must be interpreted in the light of scripture that does not appear anywhere near that topic. An overly simplified example is that women must have long hair. It’s a simple statement but many other scriptures that distantly may relate force a different conclusion.

Needless to say, we won’t really know Gods timing and ways until it shows up. One day we will be like Peter when the Spirit was poured out and he pointed to Joel saying ‘this is that’.

In the mean time, I believe we can expect God to orchestrate a very positive future for His children and the bride of Christ on this side of heaven. It will be there, for sure, but God is looking for us to be overcomers and experience the promised land with Him.

In the Bible there are several motifs. My understanding of that word is basicly it’s a pattern, usually in literature or music, that repeats and often has a theme. So the pattern will demonstrate different ways or approches to the theme. It may also be that there is no theme and the pattern is just present to enjoy or whatever.

Today, I want to show a few motifs that have a theme that I think is important to the topic we last looked at, which is, a new age or something of that nature that will and is bringing in a whole variety of somtimes dramatic change.

One of the most common and discussed patterns in the Bible is the Exodus. The first item is Passover, which is the beginning of and explanation of entrance into the safety of the family of God. There are many elements that can help us understand what is going on in the Passover but ultimately if we believe it by faith we are in the pattern. Every item that I will mention, has elements of independent teaching and I believe each first, second or third item will help us understand the other first, second or third items in trajectory (hence title of when do we get there).

Another pattern is the temple, which has a first outercourt item that is only for the Jews or family of God. It’s kind of a crazy place and lots going on with minimal order and intensity, but you are in.

Another pattern of Feasts of the Lord starts with the Passover again but in more symbolic presentation to help Israel strengthen their faith because they look forward while we get to see and understand the bedrock of the real deal.

It’s fun to see the pattern in a spot like 1 John 2, where the first item is little children and it’s clear that development of human spiritual growth is at hand, and finally my favorite is from Job 23 (NKJV) where Job in a slightly different way lets us know that this same pattern is for the experianced long term believers as well. (God, I just want to find you and know you notice me.)

That’s five of the motif first items. So lets look at the second item in each motif. In the Exodus the second item is the wilderness. There is a ton of teaching on many subjects and it’s probably where most believers live most of the time. Really, most of our lives.

The Temple has the inner court as an item where the individual is to do serious business with God. In the feasts of the Lord, Pentecost is the next item of the three major feasts. More on that later.

1John jumps to young men (women) who in process of pattern are knowing the Word and starting to deal with the enemy. While Job is soberly reviewing God’s plan in the middle of chap 23 that Job would be refined like gold in this fire.

The exciting next items are directly defining and setting up the theme which, I believe, correlates with the development of this coming new age. The colossal change brought by the development of these motifs start with the entrance into the promised land. Next item, is the Holy of Holies. In the natural we have never really been there, but God tore the curtain from top to bottom indicating invitation to come into and know parts and be with parts of Him we know little of. Joshua said that of the promised land too.

The Feasts of the Lord next item is the feast of Booths which is a living out of being in with God separated from the world. This concept is all over these motifs to being in Him and He in us. New creatures, which we are, with the new birth initiated in the Passover and develope into these great pictures of out growth into Him.

1John so lovingly says the fathers (mothers) have known Him who is from the beginning. The knowing has got to be the most satisfying relationship ever. I marvel at Job who in vs.14 acknowledges that God will do His will for Job through Job. 1 John’s relational depth and Job’s understanding of partnership are great pictures of God’s plan for each of us.

Now picture this development of the child of God who has been born again into a new creature becoming all the above and more. Then, think on our journy into this new age (last posting) and visualize a changing new world. Jesus spoke, taught and gave parables about His kingdom so we would move into this change with a goal and plan. That is to be with and in God, having been refined by the fires of the middle items in the motif to being in Him to accomplish His will or Kingdom on this earth.

I mentioned that I would refer back to Pentecost and the outpouring of HolySpirit. I know this is my own thing but if you make a chart three across of the items and five down of the motifs, Pentecost is in the center. Think on that for all growth.

I’ll try to insert a chart for ease in picturing but remember I’m new at this and not deeply digital. Nuts - remember not deeply digital

As we slowly move into this new age with the people of God, becoming new creatures and living what that is, we begin to operate more and more like Jesus, the whole culture will become kingdom oriented as God wills it because our relationship will be on a whole new level. The kingdom of God is the ultimate program of attraction.

Taken together, this new man and the new age, promise to be a very different era. I am expecting not just revival but an important reformation. Reformations, of which we have had two, are culture changing. The first was the ministry of Jesus. The entire understanding and relationship with God changed at that time. The second was the understanding of grace and the ministry of salvation by faith, again our relationship with God changed. This next reformation will be a much fuller relationship with ‘God in us’ bringing His kingdom forward on earth like it is in heaven.

Love, Dirk

PS Our culture doesn’t have much of a clue about the signs in the heavens, and upon actually walking up to the promised land ten out of twelve forerunners said no. Don’t be discouraged if you don’t see it at first. I expect the transition into things to come to be easily a hundred years or more.

When Jesus came and the t-shirt was printed (joke) a major change was under way. That’s easily seen by the BC-AD denotation for our calendar years for that exact time. Lots was going on politically and spiritually centering around that particular period in time. I have no idea how the divide and labels were decided on but it’s pretty easy to see now how much was happening. That is two thousand years ago.

In the vacuum of no BC-AD denotation I’d like to suggest that now too, things are such that we might call this a new era or age as we do that. The ‘new age’ label has so many weird connotations that it’s hard to use that terminology but itwould be best I think.

The WEF recentlysaid point blank it’s a new era. Globalism is a whole new way to think. Politically, the world is becoming a whole new place. We shop on-line, heck I had groceries delivered to me today. There is so much different that almost every area of our lives are under some sort of change.

Ai, Im an old man in the mountains and Ai coached me through installation of a new rack and pinion in my truck. That is crazy and it’s just getting going, I’m concerned that spiritual leaders will use Ai rather than true Godly revelation. It’ll sound good but a new discernment will be necessary. So many jobs and information sources are under change that we never thought could change like they are.

What about the WEF or Globalism? In Joel God says he will pour out His spirit on all flesh. I believe God was in a loose spiritual way telling mankind things were going to change. Often the natural preceeds the spiritual and here we saw leaders doing what they were looking for,just not God’s way. Power and influence were not Gods plan.

Remember James Dobson, I believe he was a sort of prophet. Everything family always, his expression was through teaching so that is how he was labeled and received. During his exhortation to the church many big companies and even government developed family programs, some continue today. That was not church, that was God working in ‘non-church’ hearts and minds the way they they knew how.

Church is changing and the people of God are developing a different intimacy and drive to know Him. It’s slow but its there. The sons of Issacar looked for signs of the times. Just stop and look around then ponder. Time in the secret place is very revealing.

Our culture doesn’t wait and see much. God in Genesis declared that the lights in the heavens be for signs and seasons and for days and years. We do ok with some of that but ‘signs’, other than just looking at a ‘blood moon’, eclipse or if we can even find a constellation are not useful signs to us today. We aren’t really paying attention.

What if God was right? In Job 38 God states His superiority to Job’s thinking and in the process indicates His guidance and determination of several constellations and the Mazzaroth. He points out their ordinances and dominion over the earth. I’ve never heard that preached or even taught.

If you steer clear of the occult side of heavenly study you find the Mazzaroth or Zodiac, yes they are the same, very interesting. Its not like clockwork exactness because the starscape changes are a bit varied but they might be talking to us or perhaps God through the constellations. Usually Zodiac constellations approximate two thousand years for a change.

The last big change was from Aries (the Ram, sacrifice?) to Picses (the Fish, fishers of men or Christian symbol?). That was also the time of The birth of Jesus and the BC-AD demarkation. I mentioned that some of those changes in the earth easily took a hundred plus years, they do not cause the changes they announce it with their sign.

Just hard astrology is looking at this constellation change right now. Two millennia give or take a couple hundred years. The sign we are moving into (don’t throw rocks, remember God and Job) is Aquarius (remember the 5th dimension song -Dont go there). I believe we are in a time of major change and even the stars are letting us know. The sign is a human or heavenly figure pouring out water. More humanistic thinking says it represents information and technology but my thinking is that God is still talking with His people and letting them know that He is actually pouring out His Spirit in some greater dimension that will be very significant for this next new age.

Christopher Paul Carter wrote a fun book called COSMIC SHIFT that talks about this change and gives a great description of the last age having two great monsterous oak doors slowly opening to empty and two more monsterous oak doors opening slowly toward this next age so that humanity on earth will go from one to the next. Think about cars, airplanes, microwaves, cellphones, going into space, internet, Ai and thousands of other things no one dreamed of a hundred years ago.

I believe we will see lots of information and technology beyond our comprehension in days to come but the real deal will be our involovment with the Spirit of God. Joshua once said ‘We’ve never been this way before’. You might get a ‘get used to different’ t-shirt.

You are loved,

Dirk

PS (do people even do ps any more?)

In a couple days we will approach in a totally different way.

Katherine and I have been very happily married for 46+ years and starting to push 80 in our lives. We have two boys that are fully grown with their own families. We live in some Arizona mountains.

I’ve always seen things differently than many, from early church rearing to rebellious college and ski days, culminating in crashing into the arms of Jesus at 32.

We have been in ministry, mostly as pastors, for over 40 years and are kinda retired. My quest for knowing and being in God’s presence as well as seeing Him in the affairs of man is relentless. As I experience these things I find that I want everyone to have similar opportunities to savor.

At times I’m bursting with expectancies from watching God work in the world while other times I’m brooding about lost civilizations. Aliens and even nephilim have characteristics that need spiritual understanding as does our thinking concerning end times.

The political workings in America as well as the world is often treated as just a political thing but nearly any reading of the Bible is full of God’s interest and involvement in the affairs of kings, leaders, and the people. It even effects climate.

Dualism needs to be understood to know what we ourselves are thinking, sometimes our own brains are in different boxes. Plus, our worldview is not the same as many others, like Muslims, for instance, so we can’t really begin to think like them or vise versa, even when we think we do.

I can and will go on with these things and more in days to come. It is important for you to know I am not the sharpest tack in the box with literary (reading and writing etc.). I discovered dyslexia as a graduate student learning to administer tests in psychology. (still wrestle with which way a 2 or Z or S goes and bs and ds should come with arrows). I could give you a list of debilitating issues but I also just think and observe a bit differently and I believe that is a blessing that outweighs the tough, although grade school was a bear.

Another issue is this crazy digital/technical world. I’m learning and love it but find things challenging that kids seem born to understand. (In my 30s I had one of my not yet teen boys set my Casio watch, often). Substack and X are approximations in my mind so please give me a break. Grok says “I’m not deeply digital”.

Looking forward to sharing with you and I hope to read and maybe respond to comments. Gotta figure that out sometime after I learn to post. One step at a time.

Thanks for listening, Dirk
