The Trinity: Examining the Triune God :: By Mark A. Becker

Published on: by RR7 Category:General Articles

Introduction

We are about to embark on a rather exiting journey in Examining the Triune God. Commonly known as The Trinity, God has revealed Himself as One God, yet with three distinct persons inhabiting the whole. Though impossible for finite man to entirely grasp, the concept is clearly laid out in the Holy Scriptures and is evident throughout.

Within this journey, we are going to offer several practical and human-related analogies that, although not perfect, will prayerfully help us to better understand our amazing God, His triune attributes in relation to His Godhead, and the character, roles, and mission of each.

We will also look at a few hard-to-understand passages and offer some interpretations that, hopefully, will make sense in light of what we do know about our loving triune God.

The Trinity

First, we’d like to begin with observing the Trinity as found in a few passages of the New Testament. (Underlined emphasis mine).

“How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?” (Hebrews 9:14).

“And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father” (Galatians 4:6).

“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost” (Matthew 28:18-19).

“For through him [Christ] we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father” (Ephesians 2:18).

“But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you” (John 14:26).

“But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me” (John 15:26).

“The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen” – (2 Corinthians 13:14).

A Simple Analogy

Water can be a helpful way for the finite creature to get a glimpse of the infinite triune Godhead. Water can essentially take on three forms: liquid (water), solid (frozen), and gas (vapor). They are essentially three different aspects of the same substance.

The Triune God is a Family

Since God created the family unit as a pattern for humanity to prosper in this life, is it any wonder that the “First Family” of all would be found in the Godhead? It surely shouldn’t be. For it is because of the family structure within the triune God that He is able to know and experience love.

We should also expect to see some family qualities within the triune God – the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit – with many aspects similar to a godly father, mother, and child in the human family unit.

My earthy mentor, Dave Hunt, in his wonderful book, In Defense of the Faith, did a magnificent job in relating how God’s “unity and diversity” is the foundation for agape love, as described in the Scriptures.

In the book, Dave says the following:

Although the actual word “Trinity” does not occur in the Bible, the concept is clearly expressed there. The Bible presents a God who did not need to create any beings to experience love, communion, and fellowship. This God is complete in Himself, existing eternally in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, individually distinct from each other yet at the same time eternally one. These three loved, communed, fellowshipped, and took counsel together before the universe, angels, or man were brought into existence.

The Triune God and Creation

Many godly men have recognized the pervasiveness of allusions to our triune God within His created triune universe, and how these facts of science profoundly reveal the truth of its triune Creator.

I’d like to quote Dave once more from his book, In Defense of the Faith, in regard to the essence of God’s triunity found within His creation:

We can, however, see analogies to the Trinity everywhere. The universe comprises three elements: space, time, and matter. The first two are invisible, but matter is visible. Each of these is itself divided into three: length, breadth, and height; past, present, and future; energy, motion, and phenomena. Length, breadth, and height are each separate and distinct from each other, yet they are one because each is the whole. The length takes in all of space, as do the width and height. So it is with time: past, present, and future are each distinct from one another, and yet each is the whole. And here again, two (past and future) are invisible while the present is visible.

Man himself, who is made “in the image of God” (Genesis 1:27; 9:6, etc.) is composed of three elements: body, soul, and spirit, of which again two (soul and spirit) are invisible and one, the body, is visible. The way man functions as a being also reflects the same analogy to the Trinity. We conceive something in our minds (invisible), perhaps a poem or a symphony; we express it in speech or writing or in music, and it enters the present, visible world; it is then appreciated in the emotions, once again invisible.

Thankfully, you can get Dave’s book, In Defense of the Faith, at The Berean Call for free in its e-book format.

A Human Analogy of the Triune God and Creation

An imperfect and yet helpful analogy for me, when considering creation, is that of the architect, the builder, and the sub-contractor.

The Father: The Architect

We can think of the Father as the Architect of creation, coming up with the blueprint, if you will, for what is seen and unseen in all of God’s creation. Included would be the entire universe, earth, and sea – with all living creatures and man – and heaven, itself, where God dwells with His angelic creation.

The Son: The Builder

The Son, as clearly delineated in Scripture, is the actual Builder of all.

“For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:  And he is before all things, and by him all things consist” (Colossians 1:16-17). (See also John 1:1-10.)

The Holy Spirit: The Sub-Contractor

We can also think of the Holy Spirit as the Sub-Contractor working in unison with the Son, the Builder.

The basic molecular agents for earth were prepared by God in what can only be described as “nothingness.” We see this situation – with the building blocks of the unique planet Earth – in the opening account of God’s creation in Genesis.

“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters” (Genesis 1:1-2).

The Holy Spirit – God’s “Subcontractor Plumber” in this analogy – is seen energizing the molecular structure of the waters.

The Triune Godhead’s Roles in Salvation and Consummation

We first have to acknowledge that each member of the Trinity has different responsibilities, roles, and functions, even as they work together in perfect love and harmony.

For instance, salvation would be procured by the Son, not the Father or Holy Spirit. Also, the job of convicting men and women of sin and coming to Christ for salvation is the responsibility of the Holy Spirit, not the Father or the Son.

There are many other roles and responsibilities when it comes to the triune God – and I suspect volumes could be written about these differences – but it’s very important that we recognize this truth as we continue on and look into a few specifics.

The Role of the Son of God in Salvation

God Himself would be the savior of the world.

“I, even I, am the Lord; and beside me there is no saviour” (Isaiah 43:11).

“Yet I am the Lord thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt know no god but me: for there is no saviour beside me” (Hosea 13:4).

“Salvation belongeth unto the Lord: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah” (Psalm 3:8).

When the LORD God stated in the Old Testament that only He is the Savior, it wouldn’t be until the New Testament that God’s people would truly recognize that only the Son of God could pay for the sins of mankind. This responsibility was put solely into the Son’s capable and loving hands.

The Son of God’s Incarnation– Fully Man and Fully God

Yeshua had to learn and grow just as anyone else would. When He became fully aware of who He truly was, we don’t know, but it seems He knew exactly who He was when He was 12:

“And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him. Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover. And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast. And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it. But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day’s journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance. And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him.  

“And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions. And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers. And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing.

“And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father’s business? And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them. And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.

“And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man” (Luke 2:40-51). (emphasis mine)

When Christ became fully aware of everything regarding the future is also unknown, but we can be assured that it happened because He foretold the future! The same holds true for His knowledge of every person’s heart and thoughts.

“But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men, And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man” (John 2:24-25).

The Son’s Humanity and Divinity

God can’t be tempted in the sense of being tempted to commit evil. But Christ, in His humanity, could be – and needed to be – tested by the enemy. This had to happen to show creation that He lived a sinless life and was able to be the perfect blood sacrifice for the world’s sins.

This does not mean that He ceased to be God when He was tested (or tempted) by Satan. Only that in His humanity He successfully defeated the arrows of our adversary and lived a perfect and sinless life.

“For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need” (Hebrews 4:15-16).

What an amazing truth that the Creator became a man and, as such, knows exactly what we experience in this life. It would be one thing for God to say to us that He understands and acknowledges our circumstances and lot it this life, but it’s quite another to know that God manifested Himself in human form and personally faced all of the obstacles life has to offer as a human being!

Some of this is way beyond our comprehension as finite fallen beings, but nonetheless, Christ was and will always be fully human and fully God. However it went down – regardless of our understanding or lack thereof – when it comes to his substitutionary death, burial, and resurrection, the Messiah’s loving sacrifice satisfied the Father’s wrath against sin for all who would put their faith and trust in Him.

Christ may have relied more on His humanity than His deity at certain times, but we should never doubt that Christ, at any time in His ministry, ever ceased to be God. That would be impossible.

Observations of the Holy Spirit

Continuing on with the eternal “First Family” of God, when it comes to the Holy Spirit, one can’t help but to see some maternal qualities. Yes, the Holy Spirit is referred to in a masculine sense, but it shouldn’t surprise us to see the Spirit’s role in the familial Godhead in this way.

We have to remember that men and women were both created in the image of God and, therefore, the female persuasion of mankind would necessarily have to also reflect the character of God. I believe we do see just this in the Holy Spirit’s ministry, especially in relation to the Son and salvation.

The Role of the Holy Spirit in Salvation

“Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself” (John 16:13a). (emphasis mine)

The Holy Spirit “shall not speak of Himself,” but shall speak of the Son!

“But when the Comforter [the Holy Spirit] is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me” (John 15:26).

The Holy Spirit as our comforter (which a godly wife and mother is), and He “shall testify” of the Son. Everything that the Holy Spirit does ultimately points mankind to the Son for salvation.

This reminds me of a godly mom who dotes on her godly children. In fact, we see just this in Mary at the wedding in Cana.

“His [Yeshua’s] mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it” (John 2:5).

Doesn’t the Holy Spirit convict mankind of their sins and point them to the Son for their salvation? Of course, He does!

The Holy Spirit – just like Mary did at Cana – points all men and women to the Son and says, “Whatever He sayeth unto you, do it!” Though the Holy Spirit is certainly masculine – like the other members of the Trinity – we do see maternal characteristics within His role.

Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit

When it comes to salvation and the unpardonable sin, we see the importance of the work of the Holy Spirit.

“Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come” (Matthew 12:31-32). (emphasis mine)

We see the different functions for two different members of the Trinity, the Son and the Holy Spirit, and two different judgments.

The key to understanding this passage is that if a man speaks against the Holy Spirit, in rejecting the conviction of sin and of salvation through the Son, there is no salvation for that individual. In effect, rejecting the Holy Spirit – by speaking against the Holy Spirit’s work of bringing men to Christ or attributing the work of the Holy Spirit to Satan – is rejecting Christ and leaves them without a Savior.

Again, different functions for different members of the Trinity – but the same One True God.

The Relationship Between the Father and the Son

The Son’s love for the Father, and the love the Father has for the Son, is such a tug on the heart of humanity. At least it should be.

To say that Jesus looked up to His Father would be the understatement of eternity.

“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I” (John 14:27-28). (emphasis mine)

The Son’s absolute love and respect for His Father is exemplified in the life of the Son. He always spoke what the Father wanted Him to speak, and He always did the works the Father wanted Him to accomplish.

“I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him. They understood not that he spake to them of the Father.

“Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things. And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him” (John 8:26-29).

The love the Son has for the Father is quite impressive, to say the least!

“Jesus saith unto [Mary], Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God” (John 20:17). (emphasis mine – see also Revelation 3:12)

Jesus, during His earthly ministry, spoke to His disciples as their Teacher, Master, and Lord, but the night before His crucifixion He addressed them as “friends” (John 15:15). Now – after His resurrection, and through Mary – He addresses them as brethren. And because they are now His brethren, He relates to them as equals with His Father.

Christ’s love, honor, and respect for the Father – though lacking in full understanding of the fallen human heart – could be compared to the love of a human child for their human father. Consider the child who looks up to their imperfect human father, who, in their eyes, can do no wrong. In Yeshua’s case, this was more than wishful thinking or hyperbole – this was the absolute truth!

When Jesus says that He ascends “to My God and your God,” we see even more than a profound love between the two, but a respect that transcends human understanding. Jesus is not downplaying His own deity, but lifting up His Father in glory, honor, and praise.

In these Words of the Son, He is leaving us an example that His Father is His God (even as the Father and Son are one), and His Father and His God is our Father and our God. We are in Father God’s family because of His Son! How exciting is that?!

“Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father’s name, they bear witness of me. But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

“My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand. I and my Father are one” (John 10:25-30). (emphasis mine)

And now, because of the love between the Father and the Son, the Father does always those things the Son requests as the Son advocates on behalf of us before the Father!

“My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world” (1 John 2:1-2).

We, through Christ, even have access:

“Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need” (Hebrews 4:14-16).

A Few Observations of the Unity of the Trinity

Each member of the triune God draws men to the Lord!

The Son: “And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me” (John 12:32).

The Father: “No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day” (John 6:44).

The Holy Spirit: “And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:” (John 16:8).

To show this unity, the Scriptures declare that all three members of the triune Godhead were the agent to resurrect our Lord after His loving sacrifice for our sins!

The Son: “Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up” (John 2:19).

“Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father” (John 10:17-18).

The Father: “Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;)” (Galatians 1:1).

The Holy Spirit: “For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit” (1 Peter 3:18).

Even though the Son and the Holy Spirit are truly God, it is the Father who seems to clearly define for His people the character of the triune God and who He is to His people – their Father! This shouldn’t surprise us, as the Father is to be the head of any household – human or divine!

Is There Something the Son Doesn’t Know?

There are two passages that seem to suggest that the Father and the Son aren’t on the same page, as it were, and we would do well to look into this.

Before Christ ascended into heaven, the disciples asked Him a question:

“When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?” (Acts 1:6).

Jesus had a rather interesting response:

“And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power” (Acts 1:7). (emphasis mine)

Jesus, concerning the rapture of the church, said:

“But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father” (Mark 13:32). (emphasis mine)

This shouldn’t surprise us because we see specific roles delegated only to the Father in other passages. The most familiar was cited by Christ Himself as the Father is speaking to the Son (Luke 20:41-44).

“The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool” (Psalm 110:1).

We also read of how the roles of the Father and the Son work together, and yet independently:

“Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.

“For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him. And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all” (1 Corinthians 15:24-28).

The Father and the Rapture

In regard to the rapture, we have to keep in mind the Jewish-Galilean engagement and wedding is a truly beautiful picture and representation of the watching and waiting of the bride of Christ and the rapture of the church. So much so, that it was alluded to the disciples by Yeshua Himself. It must be understood that the Jewish-Galilean wedding – though seemingly coming from the traditions of men – actually came from the predetermined council of the sovereign triune God in eternity past before creation.

In relation to the Jewish-Galilean wedding, only the father of the groom would know when he would send his son for his bride, when the son’s room that is built on to the father’s house for his bride was ready to receive her. This is exactly what will happen for the bride of Christ.

And because this event is reserved only for the father of the groom, it has been reserved exclusively for the Father of the triune Godhead. In both cases above – the times and the seasons of the latter-days and the rapture of the church – we are told that they are entirely in the hands of the Father.

Jesus is preparing a place for us in the Father’s house, just as the groom would be preparing a place in his father’s house for his bride in the Jewish-Galilean wedding. The timing of fetching the bride of the Son is in the Father’s hands and is His responsibility.

Therefore, the Father will tell the Son, in heaven, “It is time. Go fetch your bride!” And Christ will come and receive us unto Himself, that where He is, we will be also.

“Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also” (John 14:1-3). (emphasis mine)

What a future as the bride of Christ we have!!!

Conclusion

I pray the reader has enjoyed this little journey of Examining the Triune God. Though the analogies are not perfect, and the subject matter can be quite challenging to fully comprehend for finite fallen creatures such as ourselves, I sincerely hope we have a little better understanding of the topic.

One thing I have learned in my walk with the Lord is that our God is amazing in every way! I’m so thankful that God is a triune God that not only understands what true love is, but is the very definition of agape love – a perfect, unconditional love – that has been experienced within Himself for eternity as the self-existent One.

After all, God is love!!!

“The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen” (2 Corinthians 13:14).

Love, grace, mercy, and shalom in Messiah Yeshua, and Maranatha!

Enemies Within and Without

“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:6-7).

“For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself” (Philippians 3:20-21).

INIQUITY SHALL ABOUND

Texas Elementary School Shooting: 19 children and two teachers are dead. Controversy and conflicting reports surround the delayed response of local law enforcement, and investigations will be done. When local police sent out the call Tuesday about the shooting, Border Patrol agents were among the first to respond. The Border Patrol agent credited with killing the 18-year-old Latino gunman was part of an elite unit that utilizes military special operations training (BORTAC). A report says that initially, the Bortac agents couldn’t get into the classroom because of a steel door and cinder block construction. Many BP agents in Uvalde have kids at the school. The gunman first shot and wounded his grandmother and posted his intentions to shoot up an elementary school on social media.

A Series of Critical Failures Led to The Uvalde Tragedy. No one was armed inside the school. Uvalde is a high threat environment, as we see from all the lockdowns. It is criminally negligent not to prepare to meet the threats. But Texas law allows local school districts to declare themselves “Gun-Free Zones,” thereby becoming the favorite target of mentally disturbed mass murderers. Details remain unclear, but the shooter in Uvalde drove to the school and then crashed his vehicle. An eyewitness reports that he fired on nearby people as he left the truck. It was twelve minutes before he entered the school. It’s unclear why either the police or the school did not get the message that he was headed to the school. Had that message been passed on, the school could have locked down, preventing his entry. This isn’t new since Uvalde schools get locked down almost every week due to violence related to illegal immigration.

Students create ‘Tribe for Death’ group to harass pro-life peers. A group of pro-choice students at a Virginia university (College of Willam and Mary) has dedicated time to harassing and bullying their peers. The group “Tribe for Death” appears to exist primarily on Instagram. The group is “Pro-abortion” and “Anti pregnancy” according to the bio. Tribe for Death’s content includes posts mocking preborn babies and pro-life tactics such as educating people about fetal development. “One particularly disturbing video shows a preborn child as being represented by a spoonful of red jam and then being made into a sandwich for consumption.”

The National Science Teaching Association guide, “Gender-Inclusive Biology: A framework in action,” calls for “gender-inclusive biology,” which includes abandonment of terms like “parent,” “men,” “women,” “mother,” and “father.” Under the guide, mothers are now referred to as “persons with ovaries” in reference to reproduction cycles while fathers are now “persons with testes.” Teachers are encouraged to drop terms like “male” in favor of “XY individuals.” The NSTA suggests that this can be a fun exercise like having students come up with an entirely new name for the word “parents,” such as “gene-givers” or “biological life transmitters.”

APOSTASY; DOCTRINES OF DEMONS

Klaus Schwab’s lead advisor, Yuval Noah Harari, said, “God Is Dead; It Just Takes Awhile to Get Rid of the Body.” As most know by now, Klaus Schwab is the founder of the World Economic Forum (WEF), author of COVID-19: The Great Reset.

Enemies Within the Churches. Marxists have successfully infiltrated the churches and are deliberately destroying true Christianity. In Matthew 10:16, Jesus warns: “Behold, I am sending you out as sheep amid wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.” The devil is the father of lies (John 8:44) who disguises himself as an angel of light, and his minions disguise themselves as ministers of righteousness (2 Corinthians 11:13-15).

Vatican official at Davos says the Catholic Church is implementing the World Economic Forum agenda. A Vatican cleric attending the 2022 Davos Summit, hosted by the World Economic Forum (WEF) which advances a punishing “green” agenda, open borders, and “future pandemic” management, has said that the Catholic Church is “committed to the various issues considered at the forum.” Speaking with Vatican News, Fr. Leonir Chiarello, Superior General of the Congregation of the Missionaries of Saint Charles (Scalabrinians), said that the Catholic Church leads the way in implementing many of the WEF’s globalist ideals.

PLAGUE/PESTILENCE

As of May 23, the latest outbreak of monkeypox has reached 17 countries with 110 confirmed cases and a further 205 suspected cases. Dr. David Heymann (formerly headed WHO’s emergencies department) said the leading theory to explain the disease’s spread was sexual transmission at raves in Spain and Belgium. “Monkeypox can spread when there’s close contact with lesions of someone who’s infected, and it looks like sexual contact has now amplified that transmission,” said Heymann. That’s a significant departure from the disease’s typical pattern of spread in Africa, where people are mainly infected by animals like wild rodents and primates, and outbreaks have not spilled across borders. Health officials say most known cases in Europe have been among men who have sex with men, but anyone can be infected through close contact with a sick person, their clothing, or bedsheets. Scientists say it will be difficult to disentangle whether the spread is being driven by sex or merely close contact.

FOOD INSECURITY

Breaking Russian Blockade of Ukraine’s Ports Would Feed Starving Millions, But Kremlin Wants Sanctions Eased. More than 44 million people in 38 countries facing a hunger crisis have been prevented from receiving lifesaving shipments of Ukrainian grain by a Russian naval blockade, and now they’ve become a bargaining chip in an unprovoked war that’s contributed to food insecurity worldwide. Some of the countries most affected—Afghanistan, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Haiti, Nigeria, Pakistan, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria and Yemen—are already experiencing widespread food insecurity. According to the WFP, if ports stay blocked for key suppliers to the global wheat market, prices will push up even higher, “worsening hunger for the most vulnerable people around the world.”

Davos: Warnings of ‘Famines Around the World’ as Globalist WEF Talk Global Food Crisis. Davos attendees have been discussing the global food crisis at the annual World Economic Forum, with the head of the World Food Programme warning of ‘famines around the world.’

No doubt the world is heading closer to Revelation 6:5-6 prophesied for the Tribulation.

HATRED OF JEWS AND ISRAEL

Jew Attacked by Muslim Mob at Speakers Corner in London. Speakers Corner is known to be a place for debate, not violence. Joseph Cohen of the Israel Advocacy Movement visits speakers corner a lot to debate with the Muslims there. This is the first time that the mob acted violently toward him.

Iraq passes law making contact with Israel punishable by life imprisonment or death. Iraqi lawmakers passed a bill criminalizing the normalization of ties and any relations, including business ties, with Israel. The legislation says that violation of the law is punishable with the death sentence or life imprisonment. Hundreds of supporters of Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr celebrated the legislation by chanting anti-Israel slogans.

LAST DAYS TRAITORS

Davos elites warn nations not to resist ‘painful global transition.” Echoing Biden’s comments, two European leaders at the World Economic Forum meeting in Switzerland described record-high gas prices as part of a “painful” period of “transition” to alternative energy that should not be resisted. What a convenient coincidence!

“Build Blackouts Better”: Half of America Faces Power Blackouts This Summer, Regulator Warns. NERC warned power supplies in the Western US could be strained this summer as a historic drought reduces hydroelectric power generation due to falling reservoir levels and what’s expected to be an unseasonably hot summer. Compound the hellacious weather backdrop with grids decommissioning fossil fuel power plants to fight [their claimed human and cow-caused] climate change and their inability to bring on new green power generation, such as solar, wind, and batteries, in time, is a perfect storm waiting to happen that will produce electricity deficits that may force power companies into rolling blackouts for stability purposes.

NERC’s report is an eye-opener for those living in the Western US. Many households face out-of-control inflation, soaring fuel prices, and food shortages ahead of what could be a summer of unrest as the Biden administration is bracing for a wave of violence upon the Supreme Court’s overturn of Roe V. Wade. America is slipping into the abyss as households get a taste of what it’s like to live in Venezuela. It’s not that far off from what people are experiencing today: soaring inflation, shortages, a ruling regime which so many claim was not elected by the majority, and soon, rolling blackouts.

ORWELLIAN SOCIETY AND GLOBAL (ONE-WORLD) GOVERNMENT RISING

Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla, who made millions pushing COVID vaccines, spoke at Davos, pushing for a pill with a chip that sends signals to authorities that the pill has been ingested. Pfizer’s defenders suggested this could be used in conditions such as “schizophrenia and cancers” to ensure compliance. What could possibly go wrong with a pill like this? These people are frightening monsters.

Dr. McCullough: ‘Medical crisis’ is being exploited to push global government. The world-renowned physician has spoken prolifically about how to treat and how not to treat COVID. Now, he’s cutting to the heart of what he believes is behind harmful protocols. Dr. Peter McCullough sketched what he believes is the true purpose of an induced COVID “medical crisis”: global world government. He said, “What we’re seeing now is the utilization of vaccines as an inroad to global human compliance. Subjugation of the entire world’s population at the same time via the same method. Having our rights linked to the end of a hypodermic needle.”

America to Hand over Sovereignty to the World Health Organization. (Video). The nations of the world are currently voting on whether to give the WHO control over their healthcare decisions, and the US Biden regime fully intends to do so (although there are claims on the other side that the WHO won’t have total control). The globalist goblins will make sure the world agrees to this evil agenda.

Globalist “stakeholders” explain holding nations hostage to WEF salvation. Listening to the founder of the World Economic Forum should send chills up any normal person’s spine. The language of Klaus Schwab in his welcome address sounds, if anything, like an updated version of a speech given by the founder of the Third Reich. More than one speaker has clarified the WEF’s position to force nations to abandon the reliability of oil, gas, coal, and nuclear-based power generation. They, including Financier Kjersten Braathen, reminded the peasants that they (meaning we) must suffer pain, poverty and famine to usher in the Davos vision of a perfect world where unaffordable, inefficient, unreliable and unsustainable wind and solar power is necessary to change, or “reset,” the social order. The WEF has already engaged in global economic terror, the proof of which is inciting conflict, restricting energy, constraining trade, redefining health, stifling food production, and cutting access to funds and banks.

All this brings us ever closer to the evil global government prophesied in the Bible that will be ruled by the Antichrist, assisted by the False Prophet (Revelation 13). We true Christians need to point people to the Scriptures to warn them what’s ahead for them if they reject Christ and are left behind.

OCCULT

WATCH: US Army releases mysterious PSYOPS recruitment video. An eerie recruitment video by Fort Bragg’s 4th Psychological (PSYOPS) Operations Group-Airborne titled “Ghosts in the Machine” grows increasingly disturbing. “Have you ever wondered who’s pulling the strings?” the video asks. “You’ll find us in the shadows…. We can deceive, persuade, change, influence, inspire. We come in many forms. We are everywhere.” A number of articles are debating its intent, including one headlined: “Occult History of U.S. Military’s PSYOPS and its Highly Symbolic Recruitment Video.” Viewers are debating everything from its sinister music to the haunting images. Some have resorted to Bible quotes, while others are questioning who Americans should be most afraid of: foreign powers or their own government.

WEATHER EVENTS

At least 9 killed as fast-moving severe thunderstorms hit the most populated part of Canada. The derecho swept over southern Ontario and Quebec on May 21, leaving 1,000 km (620 miles) of damage.

Tropical Storm Agatha Forms South of Mexico. It could arrive at the coast by Monday, possibly as a hurricane.

WARS AND RUMORS OF WARS

Ezekiel 38-39 Gog-Magog News: Israel ramping up gas output, looks to help supply Europe. Israel is boosting offshore natural gas output and aims to reach a supply agreement with Europe in the coming months as the continent looks to replace the Russian supply. The country is on track in the next few years to double production as it expands current projects and brings new fields online. This will surely anger the Russian Gog.

“After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them. Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee. Thus saith the Lord God; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought: And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates, To take a spoil, and to take a prey…” (Ezekiel 38:8-12).

Nasrallah: ‘Attack’ on Jerusalem would lead to ‘unimaginable consequences.’ Hezbollah Sec-Gen Nasrallah warned of serious responses against Israel from upcoming Jerusalem Day events may lead to a “major explosion” in the region. Clashes broke out between Israel’s IDF and rioters along the Lebanese border Wednesday, who threw stones and Molotov cocktails. Sources from so-called “Palestinian factions” told Lebanese TV they wouldn’t remain silent over [Israel’s] (they say “the occupation’s”) provocations and attempts to impose new facts in Jerusalem” and would “not allow settlers to go roaming in Jerusalem.” Sources warned response will be from all fronts, including Gaza, adding “all options are on the table, including military. They demanded that Israel return the situation on the Temple Mount to how it was before 2000.

When the Lord judges the nations at Armageddon (Joel 3), the first names mentioned (Joel 3:4) represent Hezbollah (Tyre and Sidon are cities in Lebanon) and Hamas (Gaza was a major Philistine city). God will pay them back for all the harm they’ve done to Israel throughout history, including the present.
