E. W. Bullinger: The number 9

The number nine is a most remarkable number in many respects. It is held in great reverence by all who study the occult sciences; and in mathematical science it possesses properties and powers which are found in no other number.

It is the last of the digits, and thus marks the end; and is significant of the conclusion of a matter.

It is akin to the number six, six being the sum of its factors (3x3=9, and 3+3=6), and is thus significant of the end of man, and the summation of all man's works. Nine is, therefore,

THE NUMBER OF FINALITY OR JUDGMENT,

for judgment is committed unto Jesus as "the Son of man" (John 5:27; Acts 17:31). It marks the completeness, the end and issue of all things as to man—the judgment of man and all his works.

HAS SCRIPTURE BEEN TWISTED?

Friday's News Updates below this post.

I don't know if President Trump's love of America got the best of him, so to speak, but it's never a good idea to change the context of a Bible verse, and I would think particularly one about the salvation that Jesus Christ offers us into a verse about the goodness of America. At least that is what my take is of this article.

America is a great nation, but she is a morally rotten nation. She has come to the place where she not only embraces sins but ardently defends those sins as 'lifestyle choices,' and takes pride in those sins. The very sins that God's Holy Word says will prevent people from entering the kingdom of Heaven (1 Cor 6:9)  are the very sins that many Americans demand as freedoms to do without condemnation. They brook no words of caution from Christians to the contrary. Many of those wicked demands are being enshrined into law as sacrosanct. What has been heretofore called evil is now called good. And we are warned that that is a woe to those who do so (Is 5:20).

Salvation through Jesus Christ is a precious gift from our Heavenly Father (Ephesians 2:8). Jesus came and preached the good news of the Gospel (Luke 7:22).  He came to deliver us from the wrath to come (1 Thess 1:10), from being held captive in Satan's snares (Is 61:1) and from the holds of demons and to heal us of our sicknesses (Mark 1:34).  God sent Jesus to bring us out of the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of light, which is the kingdom of the Son He loves (Colossians 1:13). He is more than willing to bring us out of a horrible pit and place us on the Rock, Jesus Christ (Ps 40:2). To embrace Jesus Christ, God's Only Begotten Son, as our Savior (John 3:16) is to deliver us from the wretchedness of sin, and sin is those things, behaviors and thoughts and beliefs, that are contrary to the Word and will of God (Mark 7:20-23). I am sad to say, but America is wretched. That is not me casting 'judgment' upon America. That is me taking those things that America demands to have, lining them up with the Word of God, and finding they don't match. And when they don't match . . . that is the Word of God exposing darkness and wickedness. When America demands darkness and wickedness (John 3:19) then she also demands the curses which are the consequences of such demands (Deut 28).

Americans who demand such wickedness as freedoms, so far, show no inclination to repentance. When there is no desire for repentance, then hardening sets in, and people become hardened in their sins. Pharaoh hardened his heart. He hardened his heart against God. His nation, his country, his kingdom was laid waste, dismantled by destructive judgment after destructive judgment. Is America so different? I would say, 'Yes.' I say 'yes' because we knew better. We used to do better. This nation used to honor God. There was a time when our children were instructed in school in prayer and the Bible. There was a time when pastors preached the truth from the pulpits. There was a time when the head of the family was a father. And I mean a male father. There was a time when an unborn baby had nothing to fear in its mother's womb. There was a time when certain sins were not paraded in the streets. There was a time in America when a Christian did not have to fear attack or persecution for believing or preaching or sharing the Bible. In fact now, the sharing of the Gospel is considered 'hate speech'! There was a time in America when wickedness was a scandal.

However, no more.

President Obama encouraged wickedness to flourish and come to the surface as none other before him. He encouraged those Americans who wanted to be wicked to not only be wicked, but to be proud of their wickedness (Ezekiel 16:49). President Obama cast wide and far seeds of rebellion against God during his 8 years. Those seeds are growing rapidly, as tares, as noxious weeds do, bearing chaos and confusion(Hosea 7:3). If the swamp resists being drained, so do the weeds being pulled.

I am thankful that President Trump is pro-life and pro-Israel. It is a welcome, refreshing change after eight years of the most anti-life, anti-Israel President in my life time. Franklin Graham has noted that Trump is the most pro-Christian President in his lifetime, and I am grateful for that as well. But I cannot help but feel he should not change a Bible verse about the awesome gift of salvation into some kind of ode to America.

Perhaps some of you will think I am being too defensive. I get that. But read the article for yourself, and see if you do not, as you are reading it, feel a sense of discomfort at what appears to be a twisting of the scripture.

(gg: Unfortunately the site mentioning this is Gaia, but I thought the information might be worthwhile. I kept this bookmarked because in the article dated Jan 27, it reports the Dutchsinse was saying he believed an earthquake would strike in New York within the week. Mary Greeley noted that a 2.2 eq was reported in New York but felt it must have been of greater magnitude than what was reported because quite a few people reported feeling it, nearly 300 in fact. And that's just the number who reported it. Many don't. I certainly haven't filled out the USGS report every time I've felt a quake here, only some of them. So felt it but didn't report it. I am not a 'follower' of Dutchsinse though I have heard of him, and I have linked to him a couple of times in the past. His videos are so long I just don't have time to spend an hour or so each day on them, so I generally pass. I am linking to this article, in spite of its source, in case it is of interest to some of my readers. I might check out his site more often as he just might be on to something.)

2/2 - NEWS UPDATES

First, a big "Thank You" to all of you out there who have been linking to my posts and sending encouragement. You are appreciated!

Very interesting story this morning about Mike Flynn. Apparently, Robert Mueller filed a request with US District Court on Wednesday asking that the court WAIT on sentencing Michael Flynn.

Wait, what?

Let's look at this:

On Sunday, Christopher Wray, apparently at the urging of Trey Gowdy, reads a 4-page memo about the FBI's and the DOJ's investigative work against Donald Trump when he was a candidate and in his first year as President.

On Monday, FBI's Andrew McCabe is out. Apparently, he was in charge of Hillary Clinton's email investigation. He was supposed to retire in March, anyway, but whatever is in that memo apparently caused Wray to decide McCabe is out NOW.

On Wednesday, Robert Mueller asks the US District Court to NOT go forward at this time with the sentencing of Mike Flynn.

Uh-oh! What in the world have we got going on here??

Investment Watch lays out some of the puzzle pieces.

Mueller, Postpones Michael Flynn’s Sentencing

Now, there's a second memo, an 8-page 'criminal referral' filed by Republicans Chuck Grassley and Lindsey Graham with the Justice Department. The FBI is wanting a copy of that second memo.

WATCHING THE MEMO, WATCHING EU COUNCIL

Watching for today's possible release of the FISA memo.

Report: White House Will Release FISA Abuse Memo on Thursday

A big name Democrat claims it has been 'secretly' altered.

#ReleaseTheMemo – Even Democrats Are Admitting That This Memo Could Get Mueller And Rosenstein Fired

The FBI is pushing back. Hmmm, I wonder why?

FBI’s War on the Memo

And the insane kill-as-many-unborn-babies-as-possible lunatic who wanted to pass Obamacare into law BEFORE the American people could see what was in it doesn't want the American people to see what is in this FISA memo either. Weirdly, she connects it to her position on abortion, hence my introduction of her.

Nancy Pelosi claims it would be irresponsible to release the FISA memo for the American people to see

Perhaps Hillary Clinton is a type of forecaster after all. Can't help but wonder who all is in the "all" part of her prediction.

Hillary Clinton: ‘If that f-ing bastard Trump wins, we all hang from nooses’

Also can't help but wonder if the memo release takes them "all" one step closer to the nooses she so dreads. Nooses are found in gallows, and considering how hateful she was towards Israel in general and Benjamin Netanyahu in particular during her tenure as Obama's Secretary of State, making her a kind of Haman, her 'nooses' remark is all the more interesting.

The word 'gallows' is mentioned 7 times in the Bible, and those 7 times are all in the book of Esther, and all in connection with Haman. Interestingly, it was Haman's wife who suggested he build the gallows.

So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. --Esther 7:10
