Our world system is crashing, crumbling, and dysfunctional. Is there an alternative? My sense is YES. WORDS are key to beliefs. The following three songs reveal WORDS which ring true for 2023 and beyond. Listen to the WORDS and ask yourself if these WORDS are relevant for today's world. My view is that we need a NEW MODEL which provides individual FREEDOM for everyone. There is ONLY one source which brings us this MODEL. It's called the KINGDOM OF GOD! Listen and reflect on each of these three messages in MUSIC Are the WORDS relevant for today's world? My view is YES!
Jehovah/Yah/Father are all relevant 'names' for our Creator God!
Judy Jacobs sings words which ring TRUE for today's world!
The Lord's Prayer defines our Father (Jehovah/Yah) as King of his Kingdom! Planet Earth (plus the entire universe) is this Kingdom! Is it relevant for today? I think so!

Two articles in today's Wall Street Journal gave me some history on the war situation over in the Ukraine. This war is mostly over political values and morality (says the WSJ) with territorial goals being secondary. Russia hates the values of the WEST and the Russian Orthodox Church is totally behind this war as they view it as a play on their morality and their spiritual heritage.
The Orthodox Church in Ukraine has the opposite point of view on this war situation. This shows the reality of a spiritual, metaphysical, ideological war at the core of this war. If I am right on this idea, then there is NO SOLUTION to this war without a new political model for both Nations. This model must address these spiritual/ideological issues at the core. The current ideological polarization between the WEST and the EAST is at the core of this war situation. We need to new leaders who can discern the core problem!
Russia has a set of political and moral values that they desire for their people. Ukraine has similar (but different). Russia views the expansion of NATO to their borders as a serious 'security' issue'. Ukraine views their nation as desiring democracy for the whole territory. Moral values are ignored as this war situation continues to grow. At some point Russia must try to win this war with more troops and destruction. Ukraine must do the opposite and try to win with destruction of Russia's political system.
The core moral values or each nation are temporarily being ignored and this means there is NO solution to this war as of now. We need NEW leaders who can discern the core problem. The problem is 'ideological', 'metaphysical', 'spiritual'. This type of problem must be addressed if any solution is to emerge down the road. This is unlikely to happen with Biden and Putin at loggerheads over their military issues. We need NEW leaders who understand the core PROBLEM.
My sense is that Russia will add to their mobilization and try to win the war on the ground. Ukraine will do the opposite as they try to counter this mobilization from Russia. This mindset leads to HUGE killing of innocent citizens and total destruction of the infrastructure within Ukraine (and also possibly within Russia). The mindset of Biden/Putin can not produce any real solution to this war situation. We need NEW leaders who THINK differently!
Biden and the WEST desire a Uni-polar world with ONE hierarchy in control of the planet. Putin and Xi and the EAST think differently. The EAST wants a Multi-polar world system. Neither of these options can work as the PROBLEM is ideological, metaphysical, spiritual. We need the KINGDOM of GOD as the final solution. Our Creator is behind both the Russian value system and the Ukraine value system. New thinking is needed so that a WIN/WIN outcome emerges. The current model is WIN/LOSE!
There is really only ONE solution to this Ukraine War situation. We need a world which bows to our CREATOR as KING over all POWER centers. Biden, Putin, Xi, and the others must step down from their POWER centers. Might makes Right is the goal of our political leaders. This mindset can not work given the core moral problem at the foundation of this war. We need NEW leaders who can discern the problem and deal with the problem. We the people must try to educate these political leaders on the REAL issue!
Prepare for a bigger mobilization on the Russian side in 2023 (that seems evident). We might see a similar attempt on the Ukrainian side (with the USA sending more military weapons to challenge Russian weapons). Neither of these options will SOLVE the war situation. It can only lead to MORE destruction and death. Until the core of the PROBLEM is understood nothing meaningful can happen. My sense is that the existing crop of leaders can do nothing POSITIVE to end this conflict.
Think for yourself! I am preparing for more destruction on both sides going forward. This is a SAD commentary! We need to educate our political leaders so they DISCERN the real issues behind this war situation. Biden and Putin are mere PUPPETS who promote a FAILED model of thinking. Their model is MIGHT makes RIGHT! Shame on them is my response! Think for yourself on all these issues!

My timeline is derived from my study and research. There are alternative timelines to consider, however! Do your own research and this will help establish your own beliefs!
It's interesting to see a timeline so one can visualize history with specific dates. My personal timeline started at my birth and will end at my physical death. What happens to me AFTER death is beyond my ability to enunciate today. I do not fear my physical death, however, as I am convinced that LIFE continues as a NOW experience after one 'passes' from this veil of tears. I hope my view is valid!
Let's give a tentative TIMELINE of events which likely happened during and after the New Testament period. These details help me discern events and also that which is valid history.
1. A.D. 30 - 33: Yeshua likely died (say age 37). My sense is that he was immediately 'glorified' by his God, Yahweh, as his 'spirit' passed from his body. He was not bodily 'resurrected' IMO as many think but he was 'glorified' immediately at his 'passing' (his spirit became a new entity/body) and this allowed him to pass through MATTER (doors and building walls). This new 'glorified' body is different from the common view that his body was 'resurrected' (physically). Jews and thinkers in the first century did not view the 'spirit' (within a person) as a separate entity. This lack of understanding IMO produced this idea that 'breath' was life and the person was his/her BODY. Death was sleep of the BODY until a 'resurrection' occurred. In reality, 'breath' is not the same as CONSCIOUSNESS. Today, we understand that my inner self is my CONSCIOUSNESS (not my 'breath'). This spiritual substance (called 'consciousness') does NOT die when the body dies. Conclusion: I am NOT by body. I do not need a 'resurrection'. In reality, I am the inner 'spirit' which LIVES within my CONSCIOUSNESS (also called MIND). My worldview is based on this idea that DUALISM is reality. There are TWO realms of reality (the physical and the non-physical). Do we need a new understanding of reality today? I think so! Keep this idea in mind as you read below!
2. A.D. 49 - 62: Paul of Tarsus wrote his various letters to select churches which he Evangelized. His letters emerged from the ORAL testimony of believers plus his own experiences which he lived out. Paul did not know the historical Yeshua who lived from around 6 B.C. to 33 A.D. Paul developed his theology AFTER the death of Yeshua and his theology gradually won out over most alternatives to serve as the foundation of this NEW COVENANT church called the Roman Catholic Christian Church. Paul's writings established the foundation for this REPLACEMENT theology (which emerged after the destruction of the Temple of Yahweh in 70 A.D.). It was Paul and his followers who became influential and it was his various writings which formed the core of orthodox Christian Catholic theology. Today's Christian religion is mostly a religion derived from Paul's teachings. Even the so-called Gospels (Mark, Matthew, Luke, and John) seem like writings which incorporated much of Paul's teachings and thinking. My view is that Paul started this idea that the Christian religion was a REPLACEMENT for traditional Judaism (a false doctrine IMO). Even the God of Israel was REPLACED with this Trinity concept and later the idea that Yeshua was EQUAL with the historical God of Israel (Yahweh). Then the 'incarnation' doctrine cemented this idea that Yeshua/Jesus was God Almighty in the flesh (another false doctrine IMO).
3. A.D. 70 + or -: The Gospel (writing) of Mark emerged on the scene. This theological writing was probably written by a Greek theologian/believer NOT the Mark who knew Yeshua during his lifetime. This writing is viewed by Scholars as 'anonymous' and the real author is UNKNOWN. My view is that the writer was NOT an eye witness of Yeshua's words. Oral testimony produced this Gospel IMO. Some is valid and some is invalid (made up). Discernment is required when reading this Gospel and/or any of the writings within this scripture called the New Testament. What is valid and what is made up is any readers judgment. Some words are 'inspired' and some are mere 'interpolations' (ideas of the writer which fit the writers prior beliefs).
4. A.D. 80 + or -: The Gospel (writing) of Matthew emerged on the scene. Like Mark this writing had an author who desired to remain 'anonymous' (unknown). The writer was not an eye witness to the words of Yeshua and this gospel creates a birth narrative which is seriously questionable. The writer probably copied much of what was written in the Mark's Gospel and then the writer added more filler for the reader to digest. Discernment is required as some words are 'inspired' and many words could be made up and based upon the writers personal beliefs. Beware as you read any of the Gospels as words can be valid and also invalid.
5. A.D. 85 + or -: The Gospel (writing) of Luke emerged on the scene. Again, this writing has no known author. The author is 'anonymous'. The HEADING shows the word LUKE but the author was most likely a Greek theologian who desired to use the LABEL (Luke) for his writing. This is similar to the Gospel of Mark, Matthew, and John. The real author is UNKNOWN. This means that the writer was likely NOT an eye witness to the actual WORDS spoken by the historical Yeshua. Oral testimony (in the marketplace) created the writer's beliefs and then this writing within our New Testament. Discernment is required as you read any of these Gospels. Also, the many TRANSLATIONS today confuse the issue further!
6. A.D. 90 + or -: The Gospel of John emerged on the scene. Who was this writer? We do not know. It was likely a Greek speaking believer who used the LABEL (John) for this writing (Gospel). This writing tries to convey the theology that Yeshua was DEITY (in the flesh, chapter 1) and later in the writing (Chapter 10 and after) the idea that Yeshua was NOT DEITY is asserted. The Father becomes GREATER than Yeshua and all events of Yeshua were actually empowered by the Father (meaning the God of Israel/Yahweh). Yeshua could not be both DEITY and NOT DEITY at the same time? Yet, this Gospel writing seems to imply that this is reality. Beware the words in this writing as you read it from chapter to chapter. Spiritual discernment is required IMO.
7. A.D. 95 + or -: The Gospel of Revelation emerged on the scene. This writing became the l ast writing within this scripture called the New Testament. The author was likely the Apostle John who did KNOW the historical Yeshua. This makes this writing especially valid in my belief system (worldview). This author had a VISION on the Island of Patmos (the Aegean Sea off today's nation Turkey). His VISION was written down in some 22 chapters. My sense is that this VISION has credibility as it likely came directly from Yahweh (via the glorified Yeshua via an angel). The words may not be totally valid as we do not have the original manuscript. My sense is that MUCH of this vision, however, is VALID theology and I base my view of GOD on these writings (plus others). Chapter 4 and 5 are especially interesting as these chapters envision Yahweh as our Creator (on the Throne). The glorified Yeshua is envisoned (separately) as having a role to play as the Lion of Judah. Yeshua gets to OPEN the various SEALS of Revelation 6. His role derives directly from Yahweh who sits on the THRONE. The Coming events which many of us think are happening NOW derive from this writing. Discernment, however, is required with ALL these writings. There are countless 'interpretations' of these writings (words) which vary from believer to believer. Much uncertainty is evident! Listen to alternative viewpoints and then derived your OWN viewpoint!
Conclusion: The New Testament was written AFTER the death of this 'anointed one' called Yeshua the Messiah. The historical Yeshua did not READ any of these writings. In fact, Yeshua wrote NOTHING in words that we have today. All we have are writings from unknown authors who probably recorded words from ORAL testimony...which changed from writer to writer over time. Many even are unsure of when Yeshua was born and when he died. My dates are my best estimates. Timelines do help us visualize events over time.
My sense is that the Gospel of Mark (Chapter 1) is our BEST evidence of the philosophy of Yeshua while living on this planet. His mindset was to promote the KINGDOM OF HIS GOD. His God was the historical God of Israel whom many called Yahweh during the lifetime of Yeshua. The TEMPLE of YAHWEH was still standing during his lifetime. He did prophecy, however, that this TEMPLE would be destroyed. Was he correct? The TEMPLE was eventually destroyed in 70 A.D. (via Titus and the Roman military). Later, Masada was also destroyed (73-74 A.D.). Then a REPLACEMENT theology emerged which became the Roman Christian Religion.
The writings of Paul of Tarsus (and his vision) became the CORE of this new 'replacement' religion. Today, many biblical scholars view all this with much skepticism. What happens over time is that people promote IDOLATRY over reality. Worshiping a human being (a created being) does smell like a form of IDOLATRY. Will the Christian Church and their theology crumble during these END TIMES? Many think so! The Church Age is destined to collapse as APOSTASY emerges. I sense this 'apostasy' today! What is your worldview? Think for yourself. The above is my viewpoint (as of today). Have a great day!

My personal work background has been finance, economics, mortgage lending, and valuation of hard assets. I earned my MAI designation in 1974. This designation is difficult to earn and it signifies that I am an expert in finance, valuations, and real estate.
Based on my 53 years of experience in finance and real estate, I can say with confidence that the coming REAL ESTATE CRASH will be historic. What I learned from prior real estate cycles is that when this cycle turns down, it signifies that the general economy will also turn down.
The two BIG downturns in real estate that were significant were the 1979-80 Savings and Loan Crash and then the 2009-2011 housing crash. These two events were major catastrophes for our general economy. As valuations go down, lending and growth also goes down. This happens quickly and it changes our economy quickly. We are now within the crash cycle again!
Some 30-35% of our economy is tied to mortgages, commercial real estate, and residential real estate. The key to valuations within this industry are: INTEREST RATES. Low interest rates produce HIGH valuations. High interest rates produce declines in valuations and potential crashes in the general economy.
Since early in 2022, the DEMAND for assets within real estate have turned DOWN. Cap Rates for commercial properties have increased (doubled). This change produces huge DECLINES in valuations. The Big issues in residential real estate is this concept called AFFORDABILITY. This concept is KEY to this industry. Affordability and interest rates are KEY to trends within this economic industry.
We are now at the point where I can PREDICT a huge coming crash in most areas of real estate in 2023. Commercial real estate is in trouble and residential real estate is also in trouble. Valuations are coming down quickly as the FED has increased our interest rates to nearly double +. This change produces valuation DECLINES over time. My sense is that the BIG declines are on the horizon.
Big cities like San Diego, Los Angeles, Phoenix, San Francisco, Chicago, Miami, etc. will soon become aware that PRICES have dropped significantly. I expect a 50% decline in most major areas by the summer of 2023 (say August). The ONLY salvation for this industry is a FED pivot to LOW interest rates (say 2% of lower). A panic pivot by the FED might delay this coming CRASH! Don't expect this, however!
I do not expect this to happen as INFLATION in other sectors of our economy continues unabated. Food inflation is continuing. Farm crop inflation is continuing. Energy inflation is continuing. Restaurant inflation is continuing. Overall, we could witness some DEFLATION in many sectors by mid-2023. Car prices will decline, House prices will decline. Lumber prices will decline. Many durable products (like furniture and appliances) will decline.
We should experience DEFLATION and INFLATION in 2023. The stronger trend will be deflation later in 2023. All this suggests that a huge economic CRASH is on the horizon. I have followed the real estate cycles for over 53 years. My best understanding is within this industry. But I do sense that the entire economic horizon is BLEAK. The war in the Ukraine is another issue of concern.
The war issues could produce more INFLATION and/or DEFLATION depending on what happens. I am hoping that some type of negotiation will happen soon. The war situation is producing a polarization within politics, economics, and philosophy. My sense is that a DUAL polar world is emerging. The WEST against the EAST. Russia, China, Iran, et al, against America, Europe, and the West.
All the distortions in our economy are now becoming transparent to discern. Our Central Planners are trying to prevent a big CRASH but my sense is that it is too LATE to stop this outcome. Digital markets produce quick changes in prices and valuations. Economics is based on this concept called VALUE. As valuations decline the entire economy declines (with a lag).
Prepare for a BIG CRASH in this real estate industry in 2023. The global economy should be somewhat stable until later in 2023 (say June/July/August). It takes time for valuations to affect the general markets. But the trend is now in motion for a HUGE decline later in 2023. That is my SINGLE most confident PREDICTION for 2023! Think for yourself on all these issues!

David Jeremiah (who's preaching is listened to by millions) is typical of Pastors within this Christian Evangelical Church system. He thinks Jesus (is he aware that his historical name was Yeshua) is God Almighty. God in the flesh (2nd person of a Trinity) is the mindset of most believers in Christendom. The Councils of Nicaea (325 A.D.) and Chalcedon (451 A.D.) produced this theology. Is it time for an UPDATE? Personally, I think so!
As a philosopher who desires REALITY ('now' reality) I must challenge DECEPTIONS of the mind which are less than valid IMO. The BIGGEST deception of these past 2,000 years IMO is this story in Luke which I have read every year during my brief lifetime. My mother started this reading (for my family) during my youth and my assumption was that she believed this historical story as REALITY. But was this story reality or a FAIRY TALE for spiritual consumption to mislead our thinking? Let's think on these ideas for this missive. Was the historical Christmas story valid history?
My sense, today, is that the historical story was developed by select theologians (mostly after 325 A.D.) and then this story became the MANTRA of a growing political CHURCH...which desired to Rule our planet (via their enslaved believers/followers). Today, this story seems totally UNREAL to those of us with some scientific understanding of reality. Today's science gives us some basis for rejecting this prior STORY. I now live in 2022 and look back at this historical story. Let's briefly REVIEW the story for your recollection:
1. Around 6 B.C. (give or take) this young female from Nazareth called Mary (supposedly) received a message from an Angel of God (Yahweh was the Jewish God at that time). This Angel (which angel is unknown) supposedly said the following: "Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God (Yahweh). You shall conceive (in your womb) a child which you must name Jesus (should be Yeshua as Mary was Aramaic). This child (when born) will be called the son of God (Yahweh was God). And God (Yahweh) will give this son of yours the throne of King David. Then this son will reign over the house of David (all Israelites/Jews) forever. His Kingdom will have no end (Luke 1: 30-32)."
2. This supposed message from an Angel of Yahweh (possibly Gabriel) meant that the Jews (all the 12 tribes) would have a NEW Messiah person (an 'anointed' one of Yahweh) to Rule over them so that complete FREEDOM would result. God would be King! The Romans who had these tribes enslaved (via their political system) would be replaced with this NEW Kingdom of this Messiah person (called the son of God...and also the 2nd person of a TRINITY). This person would be some type of Deity (God) as this child was to be born via the Holy Spirit who would impregnate Mary. Where did this idea come from?
3. First century Jews (in 6 B.C. or after) would have viewed this story as pure fantasy (a Fairy Tale) as the idea of an 'invisible spirit' (called the Holy Spirit) impregnating a human female was absurd (theologically) thinking. Nothing within the Hebrew Torah or other scriptural writings would support this theological mindset in 6 B.C. The story was (obviously) concocted much later (say prior/after 325 A.D./Council of Nicaea) and then placed on the MOUTH of this woman called Mary. The actual behavior of Yeshua's mother (in 6 B.C.) reveals the fairy tale nature of this story. What was Mary's behavior (at the time)?
4. Immediately AFTER the birth of this child (Yeshua was his name/not Jesus), Mary had this child 'circumcised' on day 8 after birth. This happened at the Temple of Yahweh in Jerusalem (so it is reported). Then some 40 days after Yeshua's birth he was 'dedicated' to the God of Israel (this God was Yahweh). All this is documented in scripture and witnessed (supposedly) by many. This behavior (of Mary) was traditional and this proves (to me) that Mary did not view her child as SON of God (as reported by Christian theology). She may have viewed her child as a potential Messiah (an anointed one of God) as this person was prophesied to emerge from David's heritage. She would not, however, circumcise God or the Son of God. This mindset is not Jewish and there is ZERO evidence for this idea of circumcising GOD Almighty (or a 2nd GOD called the SON of God). Christians need to UPDATE their theology on this fairy tale story IMO.
5. Furthermore, when this child (now called Yeshua/he was Aramaic) was an adult (say 29 years old) he chose to get BAPTISED. His mentor, at the time, was his cousin, John. John desired the KINGDOM of Yahweh and he may have viewed Yeshua as the prophesied Messiah (the 'anointed' one of Yahweh). This baptism event also proves that Yeshua could not have been God of the 2nd person of a TRINITY as this event would not happen to God (Deity). This is ABSURD theological thinking by my many Christian zombie friends. The idea that GOD ALMIGHTY gets baptised (for what reason?) is not creditable thinking IMO. Yahweh was the God of Israel at the time and this God was a transcendent SPIRIT (not a flesh and blood human being). Jews prayed to this 'invisible' Spirit who was viewed to live in the HEAVENS!
6. This child of Mary/Joseph (now an adult) then starts his ministry in the Galilee. His message was the promotion of the KINGDOM OF HIS GOD (his God was Yahweh). This message was misunderstood (after his death) as another Apostle emerged (called Paul of Tarsus). Paul started a NEW theology (after his so-called VISION on the road to Damascus). This false theology of Paul of Tarsus is what eventually produced this huge CHURCH group called the Roman Catholic Church (later the Protestant Church). Yeshua (dead for centuries when all this was happening) became a 'glorified' Deity (in the Heavens) who became this 2nd person of a TRINITY GODHEAD. Eventually, three god persons emerged from this false teaching. Today, Christians, like Pastor Jeremiah above, think this is REALITY. Amazing deception!
7. Today, this Christmas Fairy Tale story continues and it produces zombie believers who recite the story and assume that the story is valid REALITY. Some 2.6 billion zombie believers are supposedly adhering to this historical STORY. An angel appeared to Mary and brought forth a son who became GOD (in the flesh). God then died at the Cross (an impossibility)...and he then became a new creation after three days in the tomb (another impossibility). Today, zombie believers are waiting for this 'glorified' spirit to rescue them from the WRATH of the real God of Israel (Yahweh the Almighty). It's called the RAPTURE of the Church. Millions of believers continue with this gross deception and fairy tale...as REALITY (in the Now). Reality is viewed as a 'past'/'future' event which actually happened in real-time. Is it time for this Christmas Story to be updated? My sense is 'absolutely'!
Conclusion: It is my view that events during the coming 'tribulation' (starting in 2023) will cause masses of believers to abandon their prior fairy tale stories. Getting REAL is necessary as we all live in the NOW (not this 'past'/'future' mindset). The Christmas Story is based on a PAST/FUTURE mindset which is not reality (in the NOW). In reality, their is NO 'past' and NO 'future' (that we live or experience). I live totally in the NOW (always/forever). I think you do likewise! This means that fairy tales must be re-envisioned as events within the NOW. Can an invisible spirit (produce an impregnation of a women today)? I don't think so! It takes a 'sperm' and an 'egg' to produce a human being. Science is relevant on this issue!
Yeshua was produced (in like manner) to any human being on this planet (we have 6,000 years of evidence that invisible spirits do NOT produce flesh and blood human beings). We have 6,000 years of evidence that God is alive and well within our consciousness (not on this planet as a human being). Yes, Yeshua, was likely 'glorified' at his spirit's passing. This is a reality which I accept as valid. Yeshua's message is that he is alive and well in the heavens (next to his Father/Yahweh). You can read this vision of John in Revelation 4 and 5 as additional evidence. Yahweh is still on the throne (chapter 4) and his anointed one (Yeshua/Jesus) is occupying a position of authority (UNDER this God of Israel/Revelation 5). Read the vision for yourself!
The Fairy Tale of historical Christianity needs to be UPDATED to a reality of NOW. We all live in the NOW and it is the NOW which produces valid thinking for our living. All experience is based on understanding the NOW (as Reality). This 'past'/'future' thinking of yesterday needs to be ABANDONED. It produces deceptions/lies/fairy tales. Try to avoid the NOW as you live your life? Is it possible? I don't think so! Reality is a NOW experience and this is why I desire an UPDATE to this historical story of some 2,000 years prior. It's a Fairy Tale to those of us living in the NOW. Think for yourself, however.

As a teacher on the history of money I can discern that this 'tool' of commerce has changed significantly since its origin. The original purpose of money was to allocate goods and services in a marketplace of 'scarcity'. Scarcity required money so that people would work to produce goods and services for the markets. After some 5,000 years of money history, however, we are coming to an END of money. Why? Let's understand the reasons!
Scarcity is turning into ABUNDANCE today. Our growing technology has produced robots and automated production lines where people are no longer needed (to labor). As robots and automated production grows we will experience HUGE abundance in goods/services for the marketplace. Money is now a detriment to real growth and this 'tool' (called money) has become archaic and dysfunctional. The END of this 'tool' is arriving! A world of 'abundance' is arriving for everyone!
When will this END happen? We have a few years left of dysfunctional behavior under our current money system. People are starting to discern that this dysfunction is producing a world where the FEW control the many. The 1% controls the 99%. Money has been funneled to the FEW (select elites) and this is producing a world of enslavement for the many. We now need to think in terms of ENDING this game called MONEY.
Money, in reality, does not EXIST within nature. Money is merely an 'IDEA' of our mind. Governments get control of this 'tool' and they then create all our dysfunction. Money gets funneled to a FEW so that these FEW can control the entire marketplace and gain their positions of POWER. It's totally diabolical. The purpose of money (and currencies) were to advance the supply of goods/services for the overall marketplace. This is not happening today. The FEW and controlling this 'tool' so as to enslave the MANY.
Monetary DEBT and money manipulations by our Central Authorities has created a world of elites who use money and power to enslave the many (you and I). This must eventually change...and given our new technologies, robots and automated production, this will change. We can produce ALL the ABUNDANCE that we desire. Scarcity is no longer a problem as Abundance grows without new labor. We now must think in terms of ENDING this 'imaginary' game of money. Yes, money is 'imaginary'. And it's a GAME!
A world of Abundance is here and we could eliminate ALL money symbols with the CLICK of a computer DELETE key. Today, money is 'digital' and the computer rules over all monetary transactions. Digital money can be DELETED with the punch of a computer key. All DEBT can be eliminated (instantaneously). All prices can be eliminated. Prices and Value are mere 'imaginary' concepts of our MIND. They can be ELIMINATED with the punch of a computer key!
Look all around yourself (right now). Where is a 'digital' currency unit? Where is this money unit which we all view as crucial to our survival? Is it anyplace in our natural world? Is it a 'thing' which exists in time and space? Where is this item we call MONEY? It's nowhere! It's imaginary! It's within our MIND (also called our consciousness). Money units are mere NUMBERS in a computer screen. They get punched into 'existence' by our banksters. We could eliminate ALL money units with the click of a computer key. Amazing!
Press DELETE and ALL money units could be eliminated. All debt could be eliminated. All our elites who control us could be eliminated from their POWER positions. We could produce goods and services WITHOUT this 'tool' called MONEY. Robots and automated production lines could produce ABUNDANCE for the entire planet. Computers and Artificial Intelligence could serve our needs so that ABUNDANCE emerges for everyone! It's all here NOW! We just need to THINK about ENDING this money game! It's a DIABOLIC relic of history!
The END of MONEY will arrive in a few years. But prior to ending, we could experience some enslavement to these POWER brokers who desire to create a Mark of the Beast financial system. Since these POWER brokers (less than 1% of the marketplace) have CONTROL over the creation and distribution of this 'tool' called MONEY, they will likely want this Mark of the BEAST financial system for their ego! Human nature wants POWER and CONTROL over others. It's totally diabolical!
Start to THINK about eliminating this concept called MONEY from our planet. It's a diabolical concept which produces misery for the many. Today, this idea is virtual and inner. Money is a mere 'name' and 'number'. Money numbers get funneled to a select FEW who use this tool for their foolish desires (controlling the marketplace and creating dysfunction for all commerce). Let's ELIMINATE this foolish concept and start to live with ABUNDANCE. Let our robots produce this abundance.
Nature has no money anywhere. This idea started in a world of scarcity (some 5,000 years prior). It was meant to help commerce. It did this for most of our history. Today, however, this idea is diabolical and corrupt to the core. The END of money is coming...God says this! The Kingdom Age is coming and money will not be needed. Abundance will happen as our new technologies assist to produce this Abundance. Have a great day and think about a NEW ECONOMIC MODEL for planet EARTH!

Today's news conference in Washington D.C. just finished. President Biden and President Zelenskyy both revealed their mindset on the Ukraine war situation. It is now obvious, to me, that this mindset will lead to a HUGE escalation in this war situation. Their mindset provokes Vladimir Putin (Russia) so that Putin acts to escalate the conflict. My sense is that this 'escalation' will bring DEATH to thousands (maybe millions) before this game of war is over. Many support this mindset! Not I!
The mindset of Biden and Zelenskyy seems to be centered on provoking Putin to either withdraw totally and/or escalate the conflict to a much HIGHER level (so as to win). My sense is that Putin can not withdraw as his (Russia's) security is involved. Putin does not agree with the WEST on their political philosophy (this idea of a Uni-polar World) and this philosophical disagreement is at the core of why Putin can not change his strategy on the war situation. Biden and Zelenskyy also can not change their viewpoints. They think that their philosophy is absolute for them. What does this mean going forward?
The U. S. is sending much more money and military weapons to Ukraine so they can provoke Russia into this coming ESCALATION. Patriot missiles, Himars, tanks, ammunition (thousands of rounds) can do nothing but cause Putin to ESCALATE or die. America has already sent some $67 billion to support Ukraine. More $$$$$$ are on the way and Biden says he will support Zelenskyy (totally) until he takes back all the territory. This mindset can do nothing but create WW III at some point IMO.
Prepare for a HUGE Russian move to bring Ukraine to a state of chaos in 2023. The attempt will start with conventional weapons but it is likely to END with tactical nukes. I see no alternative for Russia accept to escalate until they WIN/LOSE this war. We could witness a built-up in troop numbers to over a million before this war is over. I also, view Belarus (their military) as entering this war on the side of Russia in 2023. Killing in the thousands (possibly millions) will result eventually (given the mindset of Biden and Zelenskyy). It's our 'thinking' which produces consequences! Big consequences are emerging!
Putin is willing to stop the escalation IF Biden/Zelenskyy choose to negotiate. But the News Conference revealed that this OPTION is not going to happen for now. What is going to happen is more PROVOKING of Putin until he escalates to a much HIGHER level. Provoke, provoke, and provoke is the MINDSET of Biden and Zelenskyy. I can not view this mindset as leading to any type of peace or stalemate. This mindset leads directly to WW III. Is Prophecy correct on this issue?
My sense is that Prophecy does suggest that WW III is going to develop. Some call this the Gog/Magog war which eventually leads to Armageddon. Is this possible? Yes, this is valid thinking IMO. Man's attempt to bring us peace and happiness is totally FLAWED and corrupt. The philosophy of 'might makes right' can never work. But this is precisely what this Ukraine war demonstrates. Win/lose is the mindset of all these politicians. SHAME! What we actually need is a WIN/WIN mindset.
I am sorry to report this DIRE news on the war situation. But the mindset at this News Conference left me with the conclusion that ESCALATION is coming in Ukraine (maybe all of Europe) in the near future. At some point, NUKES will be used. Any Win/Lose thinking must lead to escalation and eventually NUKES. You can listen to the words of these politicians yourself to discern their MINDSET.
The END of man's rule is coming. But until this END we need to prepare for DIRE events on the world scene. Insanity is happening as I write. The thinking of our leaders is our problem!
