Way of Escape
For Jesus, it was the joy that He knew He would experience by successfully navigating the upcoming illegal trials, the beatings, the mockings, the brutal death on the cross itself and the separation from His own Father. It was that joy that He beheld that gave Him what He needed to look beyond the actual downsides associated with His upcoming death on the cross. He succeeded because He fixed His gaze on the solution that the Father provided rather than the temptation.

Emotional Virtue Equals Exalting Self
We have arrived to a time in society when everyone does as he/she thinks is good. Absolute morality is gone, replaced with a type of virtuous morality that allows everyone to do as they will; to do whatever they think is good in their own eyes.
Would It Really Matter?
But let’s say for a moment that if Israel was not in the Middle East, then all the world’s problems between Islam and Israel would be over. Would it? Not according to Islam beliefs, that they will take control of this world and dominate. Notice in that image, they not only say “Death to Israel” but issue a “Curse on the Jews.” They hate Jews. They hate Israel and it boggles my mind that some Christians cannot understand why this is the case. This stems completely from Satan’s hatred of Jews and Israel itself. That nation has literally derailed his plans to keep people from coming to God for salvation. Because a Messiah/Savior was born through the nation of Israel, a way was opened to humanity to gain fellowship with God through salvation.
It Causes Cancer
But let’s remind ourselves, and this is brought out in the documentary as well – that the C19 jab does have SV-40 in it. One can only wonder WHY this would be the case since it was clearly specifically developed as an assassination tool (though it was never used on Castro himself)? Can anyone inform us as to a good reason why SV-40 was/is included in the C19 jab? I can’t think of one good reason but from the perspective of globalists, there is a very good reason. Since it has the capability of killing people and they seem to want to eliminate a good portion of the population, then for them, including SV-40 is a very good thing. For the rest of us, it’s not good at all.
Daniel 4 Part 1
God tried to teach His complete sovereignty to Nebuchadnezzar (Daniel 2-3), but the king had not learned his lesson. Verse 17 states God’s supremacy over all Creation – the theme of the entire book of Daniel. The king asks Daniel to interpret the meaning of the dream. The soothsayers were unable to offer any type of explanation or interpretation. Nothing at all.

Actual Victory in Christ
Humility is not inherent within us. We are not born with humility, but must actively seek humility. Humility is outside Self. It is not part of Self at all. It must be sought by us and in all situations. We must also understand that Self is resident within to keep us from seeking and gaining more humility. It’s one or the other; that simple.
Two Gates: Humility or Self-Exaltation?
Walking the difficult path of the Narrow/Humility Road requires constant communion with God. It requires us to be involved in His Word; reading it, memorizing it and repeating it to ourselves. Walking down the path of humility means we think of ourselves last or better yet, not at all as we submit to Him and His will at every turn. Anyone who says this is not difficult is either lying to themselves or deceived because it is sometimes tremendously difficult to live out, practically speaking. Self yearns to be exalted and hates to admit failure. Refer to Luke 22:39-44 to remind yourself of Jesus’ own struggle, yet without sin.
A Burdensome Stone
I’m not going to try to pretend I know what all of this means that’s occurring now in the Middle East. My heart goes out to all the innocent people on both sides. However, at the same time, many of those innocent people in and around Gaza celebrated when Hamas went into Israel and began massacring innocent people. Throughout the world right now, there are massive protests favoring Hamas’ position against Israel, calling for the mass extermination of all Jews. Anti-Semitism is at an all-time high, not necessarily seen since Hitler and WW2. This is all part of the “burdensome stone” that Israel has become. It will likely get worse even if this current situation seems to die down. I don’t think it will and many are already warning that WW3 is approaching and could easily involve nuclear arms.
Daniel 3 Part 2
Because God saved the three young men, Nebuchadnezzar then saw their God as superior to all Babylonian gods. He ultimately acknowledged their God as superior over his own god, Nebo. Because of this, Nebuchadnezzar issued a new rule that all should respect Yahweh and say nothing derogatory. This is another proof that Nebuchadnezzar was supreme ruler, answering to no one on earth. He could make laws by himself that no one could set aside.
Those Who Fear Him
So I thought about those three young men, their demeanor and their response. I looked again at the confidence in which they spoke, not being rude or disrespectful, but clearly placing a far higher allegiance on being faithful to God than doing something that would save their physical lives, but potentially ruin their relationship with Jehovah. In our modern day, it’s a bit mind-boggling to consider being faced with something like this and setting the danger aside to see the greater goal; that of loving God more than life itself. How exactly did they do that?
