Daniel and Jeremiah were two righteous prophets of God who were fatefully linked together regarding events that occurred before, during, and after the desolations of Jerusalem and the first temple. Jeremiah became a prophet in Jerusalem in 627 BC. Daniel was taken captive during the first invasion by Nebuchadnezzar and the Babylonians in 605 BC and became a prophet of God a few years later. Most scholars believe they did not know each other personally. Jeremiah preached and prophesied to the Jews in Jerusalem, and Daniel prophesied from Babylon.

Daniel 9:2 says, “in the first year of his (Darius) reign I, Daniel, understood by the books the number of the years specified by the word of the Lord through Jeremiah the prophet, that He would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem.”

Before Daniel received his vision and prophecy concerning the 70 weeks/sevens, he was reading the books of Jeremiah and knew from the prophet’s word that the 70 years of Judah’s captivity in Babylon were about to expire. Some scholars believe Daniel also had access to the Torah (and maybe even Isaiah’s book) as well. Before we finish the rest of Daniel’s story, let’s go back in time and history and look at the life of Jeremiah and how he influenced Daniel with his word.

HISTORY OF JEREMIAH AND THE BOOK OF THE LAW

Jeremiah became a prophet in the 13th year of King Josiah (Jeremiah 1:2). Five years later, in 622 BC, the book of the law of Moses (the Torah) was found in the temple by Hilkiah the high priest (who was also the father of Jeremiah) when it was being repaired. The book evidently had been collecting cobwebs for about 74 years during the evil reigns of Manasseh and Amon, Josiah’s grandfather and father. The first thing Josiah did was to observe the Passover by making sacrifices according to the rituals of the book of the Law (Covenant).

“And there was no Passover like to that kept in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet; neither did all the kings of Israel keep such a Passover as Josiah kept, and the priests, and the Levites, and all Judah and Israel that were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem” (2 Chronicles 35:18).

Josiah’s son, Jehoahaz, became king of Judah after his father’s death in 609 BC. His evil reign in Jerusalem lasted for only three months. Eliakim, or Jehoiakim, Josiah’s other son, became king of Judah after this, and his evil reign lasted for 11 years until 598 BC. His son, Jehoiachin, then became king of Judah. He was evil as well and only ruled until 597 BC when Nebuchadnezzar took him and many others captive during the second siege of Jerusalem.

“And he (king of Babylon) carried out all the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the king’s house” (2 Kings 24:13).

This is when I believe the book of the law (Torah or Pentateuch), Jeremiah’s books, and probably others (such as Isaiah’s) were taken to Babylon where they remained even after the Persians conquered the Babylonians in 539 BC. They eventually found their way to Ezra after the exiles returned to Jerusalem to build the second temple. Mattaniah, or Zedekiah, was the last king of Judah and ruled from 597-586 BC.

Here are a few verses Jeremiah wrote that are partial quotes from the book of Deuteronomy, although Deuteronomy doesn’t mention a king by name.

“I will send Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all these nations round about, and will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment [shammah], and a hissing, and perpetual desolations” (Jeremiah 25:11).

Now compare that verse to Deuteronomy 28:37: “The Lord shall bring you, and your king which you shalt set over thee, unto a nation which neither you nor your fathers have known; and there shall you serve other gods, wood and stone. And you shall become an astonishment [shammah], a proverb, and a byword, among all nations wherever the Lord shall lead you.”

“Circumcise [mul] yourselves to the Lord, and take away the foreskins [orlah] of your heart, you men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem: or my fury will come forth like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings” (Jeremiah 4:4).

Now compare that verse to Deuteronomy 10:16: “Circumcise [mul] therefore the foreskin [orlah)] of your heart, and be no more stiff-necked.”

I believe Jeremiah was definitely quoting specific verses from the book of Deuteronomy when he wrote his books in Jerusalem.

THE NEW COVENANT IN THE BOOK OF JEREMIAH

When Christians think of the “new covenant” (first used in Matthew 26:28), we think of Jesus in the New Testament when He shed his holy blood for the remission of sins. This new covenant is available to both Jews and Gentiles who believe that the Lord Jesus is Christ. But did you know that the words “new covenant” were first mentioned in the Old Testament by Jeremiah in approximately 605 BC, about the same time he prophesied about Judah’s 70-year captivity? 605 BC was also the same year Daniel was taken captive by the Babylonians.

“Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah— not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, though I was a husband to them, says the LORD. But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. No more shall every man teach his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says the Lord. For I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more” (Jeremiah 31:31-34).

According to these verses in Jeremiah, this is a different covenant than the old Mosaic covenant. It will replace the old covenant. This new covenant is also between the LORD and all twelve tribes of Israel. There is no mention of any other recipient in this prophecy by Jeremiah at this time. In this regard, it is similar to Daniel’s prophecy of 70 sevens.

The new covenant that Jeremiah prophesied about in Jeremiah 31:31 was first initiated when Jesus Christ shed his blood and died on the cross for the sins of mankind and was supernaturally confirmed when He was raised from the dead. Gotquestions.org describes the new covenant this way: “The New Covenant (or New Testament) is the promise that God makes with humanity that He will forgive sin and restore fellowship with those whose hearts are turned toward Him. Jesus Christ is the mediator of the New Covenant, and His death on the cross is the basis of the promise.”

This description is based largely on the scripture in the book of Hebrews. “For this reason, He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance” (Hebrews 9:15).

The new covenant replaces the old Mosaic covenant for those who believe in Jesus as the Son of God and our sin substitute. The old covenant’s blood sacrifices only atoned or covered up sin temporarily, while Jesus’ blood sacrifice forgives sin permanently for those who believe in Him. Jesus fulfilled the law so that a better covenant could be established with the faithful people of God.

The words “new covenant” or “new testament’ are found 11 times in the New Testament and once in the Old Testament. Jesus first uses the term when he shares the Passover meal with his disciples. This was the last Passover he would observe before his death the following day.

“As they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, Take, eat; this is My body. Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink from it, all of you. For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. But I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father’s kingdom” (Matthew 26:26-29).

With this act, Jesus instituted the Lord’s Supper, which we as believers re-enact when we take communion. “This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me. For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes” (1 Corinthians 11:25-26).

Jeremiah prophesied about the new covenant (Jeremiah 31:31-34) more than six centuries before Jesus used it. Moses (Deuteronomy 30:1-6) and Ezekiel (Ezekiel 36:22-37) also alluded to it. The author of Hebrews quotes Jeremiah:

“For if that first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second. Because finding fault with them, He says: Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah— not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they did not continue in My covenant, and I disregarded them, says the Lord.”

“For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. None of them shall teach his neighbor, and none his brother, saying, Know the Lord for all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them. For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more. In that He says, A new covenant, He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away” (Hebrews 8:7-13).

Before the Church of Jesus Christ was established and the Holy Spirit was given, the new covenant was first offered to Israel, as the above verses stipulate. Jesus’ ministry and his first converts were all Jews.

“These twelve [disciples] Jesus sent out and commanded them, saying: Do not go into the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter a city of the Samaritans. But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And as you go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.”

Another example is found in Matthew 15:21-28. “And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, you son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil. But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came to him, saying, Send her away; for she cries after us. But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me. But he answered and said, It is not correct to take the children’s bread and to cast it to dogs. And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table. Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is your faith: be it unto you even as you will. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.”

DANIEL’S VISIONS

Daniel was a visionary (and a dreamer) in the truest sense of the word. He always received his word from the LORD in a dream or vision. “As for these four children [Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah], God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams” (Daniel 1:17).

Fourteen years before Daniel’s vision of Gabriel and the prophecy of the 70 sevens, he had a vision of four Gentile kingdoms that would dominate the world before God’s kingdom on earth was given dominion. In this vision, the fourth kingdom is taken over by a beast that is more dreadful than his counterparts. This beast speaks pompous words against the Most High and persecutes His saints until his dominion is taken away from him and he is destroyed. In Daniel’s vision, he sees the Ancient of Days (God, the Father) being approached by One like the Son of Man, Coming with the clouds of heaven.

“Then to Him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and His kingdom is the one which shall not be destroyed…. Then the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people, the saints of the Most High” (Daniel 7:14, 27).

Because of this vision, Daniel understood there was coming a Messiah that would establish his everlasting kingdom. He just didn’t know when. This Son of Man is none other than the pre-incarnate Jesus Christ, who mostly referred to himself as “the Son of Man.” In 539 BC, Daniel the prophet was still in Babylon and was reading the books of Jeremiah. He read Jeremiah’s passage regarding the Branch of Righteousness in the 23rd chapter of Jeremiah.

“Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, that I will raise to David a Branch of righteousness; A King shall reign and prosper, and execute judgment and righteousness in the earth. In His days Judah will be saved, And Israel will dwell safely; Now this is His name by which He will be called: THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS” (Jeremiah 23:5-6).

Of course, Daniel also read Jeremiah’s prophecy concerning the 70-year judgment against Israel. The reason for the judgment was given in Jeremiah 25:5-6:

“Repent now everyone of his evil way and his evil doings, and dwell in the land that the Lord has given to you and your fathers forever and ever. Do not go after other gods to serve them and worship them, and do not provoke Me to anger with the works of your hands, and I will not harm you.”

2 Chronicles 36:14 puts it this way: “Moreover all the leaders of the priests and the people transgressed more and more, according to all the abominations of the nations, and defiled the house of the Lord which He had consecrated in Jerusalem.”

Apparently, Israel had failed to observe the land’s one-year-in-seven sabbath for 490 years, so the term of the Babylonian captivity was set at 70 years to make up the deficit. 2 Chronicles 36:20-21 says, “And they that had escaped from the sword he carried away to Babylon; where they were servants to him and his sons until the reign of the kingdom of Persia. To fulfill the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed her sabbaths: for as long as she lay desolate she kept sabbath, to fulfill threescore and ten years.” This is a reference to Jeremiah’s 70 years of desolation prophesied in 25:11. “And this whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.”

After reading Jeremiah’s books (and the book of the law) and realizing the 70 years of desolations and captivity were nearing completion, Daniel began to pray, asking God’s forgiveness for the sins of his people and pleading for the restoration of Jerusalem and Israel’s imminent return to their land. It was a genuinely righteous prayer and is found in Daniel 9:1-19. By praying fervently to God and asking for forgiveness of Israel’s corporate sins, Daniel was attempting to bring about the promise of national restoration found in Leviticus 26:40-45.

“But if they confess their iniquity and the iniquity of their fathers, with their unfaithfulness in which they were unfaithful to Me, and that they also have walked contrary to Me, and that I also have walked contrary to them and have brought them into the land of their enemies; if their uncircumcised hearts are humbled, and they accept their guilt— then I will remember My covenant with Jacob and My covenant with Isaac and My covenant with Abraham I will remember; I will remember the land.

“The land also shall be left empty by them, and will enjoy its sabbaths while it lies desolate without them; they will accept their guilt, because they despised My judgments and because their soul abhorred My statutes. Yet for all that, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not cast them away, nor shall I abhor them, to utterly destroy them and break My covenant with them; for I am the Lord their God. But for their sake, I will remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, that I might be their God: I am the Lord.”

In 539 BC, Daniel prayed for the 70-year Babylonian exile to end. On October 12, 539 BC, Cyrus II, the king of the Medes and Persia, conquered Babylon. In 538 BC, Cyrus proclaimed that the Jewish people could return to Jerusalem and rebuild the temple. In 537 BC, more than 40,000 Jewish exiles returned to their homeland.

Before Daniel could finish his prayer of restoration for Israel, the Angel Gabriel appeared and gave him the prophecy of the 70 ‘sevens’ outlined in Daniel 9:24-27. This prophecy was a timeframe for when the Messiah would come and when He would establish His everlasting kingdom. It’s interesting that Gabriel mentions the end of the 70 sevens before he mentions the start. He informs Daniel how God will eventually bring about spiritual changes (by fulfilling the words of Jeremiah 4:4 – circumcision of the foreskins of their hearts) for the Jews to live in fellowship with the Messiah in His Kingdom. These are the six objectives of vs. 24 and can only occur when the Jews earnestly seek and acknowledge Jesus as their Messiah King.

“I will not return again to My place until they acknowledge their offense. Then they will seek My face; In their affliction, they will earnestly seek Me” (Hosea 5:15).

Then and only then will their transgression of unbelief against the Lord Jesus Christ be reconciled.

The starting point for the 70 sevens will be “when the word goes out to restore and rebuild Jerusalem.” (Note: It’s obvious they wouldn’t restore/rebuild Jerusalem without also rebuilding the temple. However, it’s not mentioned here).

There will be exactly 69 sevens from this starting point until the Jew’s Messiah Prince comes. (Note: Messiah means anointed one, and Prince is a reference to a future king).

However, after the 69 sevens, the Messiah Prince will be killed. This must have confused and disturbed Daniel greatly. After this catastrophic event, Gabriel then informs Daniel that “the people of the ruler that shall come will destroy Jerusalem and the temple” (a second destruction is prophesied here). Then there is a large gap of time between the 69th and 70th seven in which there will be wars and desolations. In vs. 27, the last (70th) seven is described. The ruler will put an end to sacrifice and offering in the middle of the seven years.

I would imagine Daniel is extremely perplexed by this time. However, I think, with the passage of time, Daniel probably thought back on all of his visions concerning these prophecies, compared them to one another, and gained some clarity on these monumental events to come.

For example, the “he” in Daniel 9:27 is the little horn of Daniel 7:8, who is destroyed by the Ancient of Days in Daniel 7:11. The little horn, his kingdom, and his end are also discussed in Daniel 7:19-26. He is the evil king in Daniel 11:36-45. This same king (and 11th horn) puts an end to sacrifices and offerings in Daniel 9:27 and Daniel 12:11. Both verses describe an abomination that causes desolation. Daniel 9:27 says the abomination of desolation will occur in the midst of the last seven years, and Daniel 12:11 says from the abomination of desolation until the time of the end of the 70th seven (and the beginning of the kingdom of God on earth) will be for 1,290 days.

Jesus also testifies to the future A.O.D., “When you therefore see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains. For then shall be great tribulation, such as has not happened since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should be no flesh saved: but for the elect’s sake, those days shall be shortened” (Matthew 24:15-16.21-22).

Daniel knew one thing for sure. The Messiah Prince of Daniel 9:24-25 (one like the Son of man – Daniel 7:13) would return after His death and establish his eternal kingdom on the earth. “There was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed” (Daniel 7:14). Daniel also knew that after his people had a change of heart (circumcision of the foreskin of the heart – Jeremiah 4:4), they would inherit the kingdom. “But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom forever, even forever and ever” (Daniel 7:18).

Amen.

In part III, we will finish by discussing the giving of the new covenant to the Gentiles and Jesus’ kingdom of God.

When it comes to horror movies, zombies are the least interesting of all possible antagonists. They are just too one-dimensional.

The typical zombie movie begins with some mysterious virus or chemical that kills people and then reanimates them into the undead. They then wander around aimlessly in search of the living to consume. As their numbers grow, they become more difficult to avoid. Eventually, the culture is swamped with them, and people can no longer escape their destructive tendencies. Society then begins to break down as they mindlessly wreak havoc on every aspect of civilization until productivity comes to a halt.

The military and law enforcement quickly collapse, and all that is left is the struggle for survival of those who have not been infected.

Zombies are usually slow, lumbering, unintelligent creatures whose only hope of overcoming you is to surround you to the point where you cannot escape. They have no real strategy for capturing their prey; they simply hear a noise or see you, then they instinctively attack you. If there are a sufficient number of them to surround you, they then pile on top of you and proceed to eat you alive.

Some Hollywood directors have added the absurd need on the part of the undead to have an appetite for eating brains. This is highly improbable since they must be able to bite through the skull with rotting teeth. Apparently, they desire to eat brains more than anything because they no longer have access to their own.

Oscar Wilde, an Irish poet and playwright, once said that life imitates art. He theorized that art changes our perception of life. The ancient Greeks argued the opposite, that art imitates the things around us.

This is a great controversy in the art world, but it seems we now have enough evidence to solve it. Apparently, Oscar Wilde had it right after all.

Life does imitate art, or at least it seems to imitate ‘B’ movies.

As evidence of this conclusion, we need only to observe a standard protest at one of our schools of higher learning.

Our children who are sent to these universities and colleges tend to go in fairly normal. Not long after they arrive, many of them become infected with a mysterious virus that changes their mood, behavior and appearance. They are no longer the children that showed up on opening day; they have turned into something else.

They slowly emerge from their dorms with a dull look in their eyes and a scowl on their faces. The agitation in their demeanor is palpable. It is not long before they move to attack the productive members of society to destroy everything that was created before them.

The attacks often begin on family members who are the first to be confronted by their newly infected offspring. They stare in amazement and terror as their child goes through a horrifying transition that they themselves have funded. They find that the bundle of joy that they brought home from the hospital only eighteen years ago has turned into an unrecognizable monster.

As their numbers grow, they form into groups with other creatures like themselves. They lumber around aimlessly, groaning unintelligibly about the patriarchy, while drooling with a lifeless look in their eyes. They call themselves ‘Woke’ when it is fairly obvious that their brain waves have flatlined and their ability to reason has abandoned them. When some hapless conservative happens by, they surround the poor dupe hoping to devour him in their relentless quest for brains.

Their attacks are senseless, as their only objective is to waylay other creatures who do not share their characteristics. They usually start wailing and making false accusations against the nebulous adversary they call ‘society.’ When they do manage to speak, they make absurd statements and issue ridiculous demands, which makes it impossible to reason with them.

The virus they carry is highly contagious, as it seems to quickly infect the administrators of the institution as well. The administrators, suddenly and without warning, begin to accommodate them rather than kicking them off campus. What makes this virus even more destructive is that it causes school officials to discipline those with common sense. The students with immunity to the virus then go into hiding rather than submit to the pointless rantings of their fellow pupils.

Even more alarming, the virus spreads quickly from our universities to the public at large. It infects members of our governmental institutions and elected officials, who quickly begin to cater to the undead instead of attempting to cure them.

Once empowered by the adults who are charged with maintaining order, they start to engage in pointless protests that seem to spread like wildfire. They begin ranting and moaning about something they call “Fascism,” even though they clearly do not know what the word means.

They seem to think it means that anyone who is not like them has no right to exist.

One ideology that the undead can all agree on is that the country that reared them is evil and unjust. They are united in their hatred of freedom if such an ideology dares to include even a hint of morality. They protest furiously for licentiousness and will use threats and violence until everyone looks and sounds like them.

Once these ghouls have control of an institution, it is not just false accusations of fascism that they spew at their enemies. There is the indefinable term ‘racism’ that is the next attack to be vomited against ‘society.’ For some reason, there are never any details about the alleged racism that unknown minorities are experiencing. We are simply supposed to take it on faith that every accusation of racism has merit, even though it does not seem to exist in reality.

Does anyone truly believe that there is actual racism on our university campuses?

Unfortunately, those we term political liberals are easily susceptible to this obvious, senseless accusation. Although they have not completed their transition to the undead, they are most certainly infected with the virus, which leads them to groan their affirmation of the proclamations of the infected.

We often mistake liberals for ‘iconoclasts’ who take strong and passionate stands for freedom. Unfortunately, their strong stands are only against moral restraint issued by people of faith. When wickedness starts making demands of them, they fold like a cheap tent.

At Amherst College, a group of zombies issued their orders to those who dared to make any kind of demands or to have reasonable expectations of them. The undead retched false accusations of racism and fascism against their dumbfounded administrators. These administrators uncharacteristically exhibited some backbone and refused to acquiesce to their demands. This type of resistance to the virus is extremely rare. Even for liberals, capitulating to stupidity has its limit.

The following were the demands of the student body:

1. The need for flexibility and lenience on extensions for absences from class.
2. Provide more mental health resources.
3. Abolish the Amherst College police department.

Given these demands, it should be obvious to the casual observer that the campus at Amherst is a hotbed of racism and white supremacy. One hundred years ago, in the deep south, the Ku Klux Klan fought vigorously against the need for leniency when students were absent from class. That is what the cross burnings and lynchings were all about.

At Claremont McKenna College, the dean had to resign when she was caught making ‘incendiary’ comments about ‘race.’ Dean Mary Spellman had the audacity to tell a Latina student that she would work to “serve those who do not fit our CMC mold.” Although she did apologize, the undead are an unforgiving lot, as they mercilessly devour the careers of the unwary.

It’s not just fascism and racism that send the ghouls into a feeding frenzy; any affront to those who call themselves ‘transgenders’ also results in an orgy of the damned.

When Republican Governor Glen Youngkin was elected in Virginia, he made it a point to ‘deny rights’ to cross-dressers who were pretending their Y chromosome was an X, or vice versa. This led to a high school walkout of about 200 wights in protest of his new guidelines. It seems that they were frightened that these new standards might mean that boys could not play girls’ sports. What was even more outrageous, boys would be forbidden to spend time undressing in girls’ bathrooms.

It seems that these specters, although they attempt to silence people of faith, need a safe place to express themselves freely. Anyone who dares to put any kind of moral restrictions on their behavior threatens their licentious designs. According to their theology, if a boy is willing to dress like a girl, he has every right to watch real girls undress in the locker room.

As it turns out, thousands of the undead walked out of a high school in Virginia to protest the oppressions of the arrogant sentient beings. This walkout was organized by the ‘Pride Liberation Project,’ a statewide LGBT activist group that lobbies on behalf of animate corpses who despise sexuality as defined by God. The Addams Families that spawned these ghouls were no doubt very proud that their children felt liberated from the tyrannical law of the Lord.

It’s funny how all ‘liberation’ seems to have that same characteristic.

The draft policy by the Virginia State education department reflected the enlightened values of creatures created in the image of God rather than the dim ideology of those who evolved from monkeys.

It dared to insist that:

1. Cross-dressing students had to use the facilities associated with their biological sex.
2. Parents would have to give approval for teachers and other staff members to refer to cross-dressing students by a different name or pronoun at school
3. Families would have to provide legal documentation to change a student’s name and gender on official school records.

Those who are ‘genderqueer’ and ‘gender nonconforming’ were outraged that the uninfected would force any kind of morality on them (it should be noted that the vernacular of the undead declines in conjunction with their ability to reason). The righteousness of Godly virtue made them feel very ‘unsafe’ because it reminded them of their wickedness. The heathen are terrified of being reminded of their faithlessness because it forces them to come to terms with their eternal destination.

Come to think of it, if I were an evildoer, that would scare me too.

Allowing parents, instead of predatory liberals, to be involved in their children’s sexual decisions is incomprehensible to those who have lost access to their faculties.

When evil white communists go through all the trouble of inventing new ways of instigating evil, they become quite perturbed when someone throws a roadblock in front of them. They then direct their minions to rush headlong into the moral barriers created by people of faith. Their underlings then pound away until either their heads shatter or the barrier breaks.

There seems to be no end to the senseless groanings of the evil dead. If it is not made up ‘crises’ like climate change, they mindlessly clamor in defense of abortion or against ‘gun violence.’ Any attempt to stand on morality and freedom is an outrage to the occupants of Zombieland.

The uninfected have become nostalgic for the anti-war protests that used to fill our university campuses. Any time our freedom-loving nation would oppose an evil communist nation, we could count on those who claimed to love ‘peace’ to rise from their graves and start hellraising. Those seem like times of innocence now.

This world would be a different place if these ‘minds full of mush’ would rise up in defense of God’s righteousness and freedom (a little Rush Limbaugh lingo there). The question we need to answer is whether there is a nefarious force behind these protests. It cannot be a coincidence that these students always protest on the side of Godlessness, tyranny and evil.

The first thing that is obvious about these demonstrations is that they always come down on the side of the Democrat Party agenda. In turn, the Democrat Party agenda always lines up with the plans of the evil Globalists. It has come to pass that practically every Democrat is nothing more than a sock puppet for their Globalist overlords.

(Note: This virus has infected Republicans as well, especially our leadership class.)

Some of us have noticed that most Democrats are practically brain-dead but seem to still be able to win elections. It is not just senators from Pennsylvania who are lacking in cognition but the occupants of the White House as well.

The brain dead on our campuses do have enough wherewithal to identify those who are to be supported and those who are to be opposed. They seem to have the ability to understand that politicians with a ‘D’ next to their name are to be obeyed and those with an ‘R’ are to be attacked. This is more than sufficient evidence to assume that there is a guiding ideology that explains their behavior.

It is incumbent upon sensible society to determine who is the inventor of this virus, how they spread it, how this virus can be prevented, and why they use students to help perpetuate it.

First, we must identify the deceivers and defang them so we can cut off the head of the serpent. It requires a great deal of money to get everyone on the same page when it comes to deception. Therefore, we know that the people who originated this virus are not poor or powerless.

These people must be Godless and have the power to suppress the truth. They must have control of all major media outlets to ensure that the truth always remains hidden. Although they are futile in their thinking, they are experts in the dark art of deceit. They also understand the innate sinfulness of human nature and how easy it is to find accomplices who are equally disenchanted with God.

The conclusion is that we are dealing with politically powerful people who have a lot of money and are using their vast wealth to degrade society. These people are clearly megalomaniacs who believe that their wealth gives them the right to recreate the world. They believe that their wealth gives them the right to corrupt our economy, religion, culture and lifestyle to suit themselves. Anyone who dares to object is in danger of being financially ruined, imprisoned or murdered.

It has become clear by now that the originators of this virus are the evil Globalists and their religious advisors.

There is no way we can reanimate the evil Globalists or their religious advisors because they belong entirely to Satan.

As Jesus said, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God. They have nothing but disdain for God, his Son, and people of faith, and they are, in all likelihood, beyond redemption. As for their religious advisors, it really is not that difficult to identify who these people are.

If we review the pope’s pagan document, Laudato Si, it is clear that the evil Jesuits are the Globalists’ religious consultants. These people are beyond redemption as well.

As President John Adams once said of the Jesuits when they were reconstituted after being kicked out of every decent nation on the planet, “Shall we not have regular swarms of them here, in as many disguises as only a king of the gypsies can assume, dressed as painters, publishers, writers, and schoolmasters? If ever there was a body of men who merited eternal damnation on earth and in hell, it is this Society of Loyola’s.”

The key to dealing with the evil Globalists and the papal cult is to be able to counteract their deception. We as Christians will need to stop this virus with the good hygiene of purity and good prevention practices by ensuring the minions of these people do not have access to political power and powerful therapeutics by exposing them, using the Word of God.

There are good people like Charlie Kirk at Turning Point USA who are attempting to fight their deadly virus. However, he and his organization are not going to have much success if the spiritual condition of the American people does not change.

There is only one way to reanimate the undead, and that is with the Word of God. We can begin the reanimation process by alerting the remaining uninfected of the consequences of their wickedness using Paul’s letter to the Galatians:

“Do not be deceived, God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life” (Galatians 6:7-8).

This is good news for the Christian but disastrous for the ghouls. Those who reap abortion may one day find themselves being ‘aborted’ by the people they voted for. Those who reap ‘climate change’ will one day find themselves being enslaved by its proponents. Those who reap ‘transgenderism’ will one day find their own children being sexually mutilated by soulless creatures who have scorned the Hippocratic Oath.

We must fight against deception in every way. In Paul’s letter to the Ephesians, he writes:

“Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. Therefore do not become partners with them; for at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light (for the fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true), and try to discern what is pleasing to the Lord. Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them. For it is shameful even to speak of the things that they do in secret. But when anything is exposed by the light, it becomes visible, for anything that becomes visible is light. Therefore it says, ‘Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.’

“Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit, addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart, giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ” (Ephesians 5:6-21).

The parents of these young adults who are ‘protesting’ for foolishness need to understand that those who engage in this behavior are under the judgment of God. They maliciously bear false witness against their neighbor and, by doing so, harden their hearts against the Lord.

When you as a parent begin to see this behavior in your children, time is running out to share the Gospel with them. When you are confronted with their false accusations, you should not be intimidated. Instead, advise them that their behavior is a terrible sin against God, and boldly inform them that Jesus calls them to repent and be forgiven in his holy name.

The Gospel is always the best ‘conversion therapy’ you can offer to your wayward child.
