"Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming when all who are in their graves will hear His voice 29 and come out—those who HAVE DONE GOOD to the resurrection of life, and those who have DONE EVIL to the resurrection of judgment."
Now, wait just a cotton-pickin' minute! Did Jesus just say we are saved by our works? Yes - yes, He did. Just like Jesus told the rich young ruler that he needed to keep the law to earn eternal life (Matthew 19:16-22).
I am bringing these passages up to you, because I want you to see that there is a veiled message within scripture.
In the same way that Jesus spoke in parable's, the gospel was present in plain sight - but veiled from those without eyes to see and without ears to hear.
The Bible was written INTENTIONALLY this way to veil the gospel from the enemies of God. You will MISS these truths if you are only trying to use the Bible as a weapon by cherry picking the verses - instead of studying the Bible with spiritual eyes:
Matthew 13:10–11
“The disciples came to Him and asked, ‘Why do You speak to the people in parables?’ He replied, ‘The knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them.’”
Matthew 13:13–15
“Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand…”
2 Corinthians 4:3–4
“And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers…”
1 Corinthians 2:7–8
“We speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, hidden…
None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.”
So, what's the mystery then? How do we "crack the code"? We let the Bible interpret the Bible and let the Holy Spirit guide us. But we must enter as LITTLE CHILDREN, because God RESISTS the proud and gives GRACE to the humble. If you want spiritual answers you must come to the end of yourself, and it is only then that the Lord works.
Listen carefully:
Jesus says there is a judgement coming upon this whole world and that the ENTIRE WORLD will be judged according to WHAT THEY HAVE DONE. There is no mistaking this. It is a fact given by God Himself and God does not lie. Judgement is coming upon this world for ALL who have done evil. God will punish EVERY SIN, every act of adultery, every blasphemy, EVERY LIE, every COWARD will suffer the fires of eternal damnation.
Revelation 20:12–13
“And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened…
The dead were judged according to their works, by what was written in the books.”
Revelation 21:8
“But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars—their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”
Notice: ALL LIARS, ALL the cowardly.
Folks, God is not grading on a curve. So those of you standing up at these words of judgment, shouting in zealous fury against “the unrighteous”—you better sit down. Because Scripture says, “You too.”
Romans 2:1-3
"You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on another. For on whatever grounds you judge the other, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things. And we know that God’s judgment against those who do such things is based on truth. So when you, O man, pass judgment on others, yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God’s judgment?"
Paul leaves no room for anyone to say, “Not me.”
And he goes even further:
Romans 3:9-11
"For we have already made the charge that Jews and Greeks alike are all under sin.
As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one. There is no one who understands, no one who seeks God."
Pay close attention to the next verse:
12 "All have turned away, they have together become worthless; THERE IS NO ONE WHO DOES GOOD - NOT EVEN ONE.”
Now wait—didn’t Jesus say that only those who “do good” rise to life?
And Paul just said no one does good. What gives?
Jesus said the same thing:
"No one is good except God alone..." - Mark 10:17-18
Now you are starting to perceive the veil. What is Jesus saying, folks? Is it possible that Christ intended His followers to dig deeper? To look with spiritual eyes for the gospel?
Jesus and Paul are not contradicting each other. They are in perfect agreement. But unless you read Jesus through the lens of the New Covenant, you will stumble over the cornerstone—just as Romans 10 warns.
The message of both Jesus AND Paul is:
- Judgement is coming upon the world for sin.
- All have sinned and done evil.
- Therefore, all are worthy of death.
- Therefore, righteousness must be a gift, received by faith.
Now, see the mystery fully unveiled:
John 8:24
“Therefore I told you that you will die in your sins; for UNLESS YOU BELIEVE that I am He, you will indeed die in your sins.”
John 3:18
“Whoever BELIEVES in Him is NOT CONDEMNED, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, BECAUSE HE HAS NOT BELIEVED…”
John 5:24
"Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever hears My word and BELIEVES Him who sent Me has eternal life and WILL NOT COME UNDER JUDGEMENT. Indeed, he has crossed over from death to life.
John 20:30–31
“These are written so that you may BELIEVE that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that BY BELIEVEING you may have life in His name.”
John 6:28–29
Then they asked Him, “What must we do to perform the works of God?”
Jesus replied, “THIS IS THE WORK OF GOD: that you believe in the One He has sent.”
Pay close attention to the next one!
John 16:8–9
“And when He comes, He will convict the world in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment: in regard to sin, BECAUSE THEY DID NOT BELIEVE IN ME.”
Now, let me clearly lay it out for you. Two men die and stand before the throne of the Most High. One is a believer in Jesus Christ, and the other is not. Both are guilty of a multitude of sin. Both will be judged according to their deeds. Only one of them has every sin they have ever committed washed away into the sea of forgetfulness by the blood of Jesus. Only one walked away AQUITTED. They both were judged according to their works, but only one had any sin debt left to pay for himself.
You may say: "That's not fair! Isn't God just? Doesn't God punish sin?"
He DID punish sin. On the cross at Calvary, where every sin that believer committed in his lifetime was placed on the broken body of the Lord Jesus Christ, and in one moment of judgement, EXECUTED upon His own flesh, once for all time! Hebrews 10:10-18.
Praise God! Hallelujah! That is the gospel! And in this way God is both just AND the justifier, for all who BELIEVE on His name! And there you have it, the veil is lifted.
All sin is real, all sin is judged, and all sin is punished — but the sin that leaves a man condemned is refusing the only One who bore that punishment.
May I state something that should be clear, but due to the rise of charismatic false doctrine and the NAR the lines are being blurred?
A born again Christian becomes the temple of God. They are in-dwelt with the Spirit of God.
Now listen carefully:
The Holy Spirit does NOT share space with evil spirits! There is NO SUCH THING as a born again Christian being delivered of demonic entities, because a born again Christian cannot be possessed by demonic entities! They are already in-dwelt and the possession of Gods Spirit, and He does not share!
These “deliverance ministries” all over the world (especially in Africa) are making huge amounts of money out of gullible and unlearned Christians, leading them to believe they have demons they need to be delivered of.
It is precisely because God’s grace is “hyper,” “radical,” and limitless that I would never want to abuse it. Many people caught up in the modern church of Galatia can’t wrap their heads around this. Radical grace produces radical change of mind. Don’t believe that’s biblical? Just ask Jesus:
Luke 7:47 (BSB): “Therefore I tell you, because her many sins have been forgiven, she has loved much. But he who has been forgiven little loves little.”
The woman loved Jesus not because fear forced her into obedience, but because grace awakened love in her heart. That’s the contrast between the Old Covenant and the New: fear-based striving versus love born from forgiveness.
Behold, the old has passed away; all things have become new.
The Tree, the Law, and Why Everything Keeps Ending in Death: From Genesis, to the New Covenant.
I want to share a pattern that runs from the Garden of Eden, through the Old Testament, and all the way into Paul’s writings. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it.
Mankind Was Not Designed for the Law-
In the beginning, God didn’t give mankind tablets of stone, a covenant, or a list of commandments. He gave them relationship and one command:
"But you must not eat from the tree of the **knowledge of good and evil**; for in the day that you eat of it, you will surely die." - Gen 2:17
What Was the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil?
Scripture says the tree would give man **knowledge of good and evil** (Genesis 3:5, 22).
What does the Bible call the knowledge of sin, or the knowledge of right and wrong, or the knowledge of good and evil?
“For by the works of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for THROUGH THE LAW comes the **knowledge of sin.**” - Romans 3:20
Before eating of the tree:
-no guilt
-no shame
-no condemnation
This mirrors what Paul says about the law:
“For the law brings wrath; but where there is no law, there is no transgression.”
(Romans 4:15)
“For sin indeed was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not counted where there is no law.”
(Romans 5:13)
So, through scripture we come to realize sin exists but is not imputed, not charged, not reckoned without law. This was the state of humanity before the fall; before we ate of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. This is why we were innocent until the day we received the knowledge of sin.
After eating of the tree:
-moral awareness/knowledge of sin
-guilt
-fear
-condemnation
-death
Paul describes this exact same effect when he talks about the Law:
“Through the law comes the knowledge of sin.”
(Romans 3:20)
“I would not have known sin except through the law.”
(Romans 7:7)
Now pay very close attention to what Paul says next:
“Apart from the law sin lies dead. … When the commandment came, sin came alive and I died.”
(Romans 7:8–9)
“The very commandment that promised life proved to be death to me.”
(Romans 7:10)
What did Paul say happened when he received the commandment? HE DIED. The commandment which he thought would bring life, actually brought death.
"The day you eat of that tree you shall surely die..." Gen 2:17
This is why Paul calls the law a "ministry of death and condemnation":
“Now if the **ministry of death**, CARVED IN LETTERS ON STONE, came with such glory that the Israelites could not gaze at Moses’ face because of its glory, which was being brought to an end…”
(2 Corinthians 3:7)
“For if there was glory in the **ministry of condemnation** (Old Covenant law), the ministry of righteousness (New Covenant grace) must far exceed it in glory.”
(2 Corinthians 3:9)
Are you starting to see why the religious hate Paul's writing and the New Covenant? Paul is dismantling confidence in the very thing they cling to. But it's not as if Paul is going rogue and making up his own doctrine. He is simply piecing together the mystery that God already revealed in His word. I am trying to show you that here. Stick with me.
Do you see that the tree of the knowledge of good/evil and the story of Eden represented humanity choosing LAW over GRACE? It was the Biblical portrait of humanity's fall from grace in the very same way Paul describes in the book of Galatians:
"You who are trying to be justified by the law have been severed from Christ; you have fallen away from grace." - Galatians 5:4
By choosing the law, we commit afresh the very same act in the Garden of Eden and we place ourself under the curse that followed:
“Christ has redeemed us from the **curse of the law**, having become a curse for us…”
(Galatians 3:13)
"All who rely on works of the law are **under a curse**. For it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.’”
(Galatians 3:10)
What was the curse? DEATH. And that is exactly what happened — spiritually first, physically later.
Israel’s Story Under the Law Confirms the Pattern-
Just look at what happened the moment the Law was given at Sinai: 3,000 died to the sword (Exodus 32:28).
Then look at the wilderness: Israel died, and died again. The law exposed sin but could never give life.
“The Law is the ministry of condemnation.”
(2 Corinthians 3:9)
“The law brings wrath.”
(Romans 4:15)
The entire Old Testament story shows that the law cannot save. It only reveals death because we are hopelessly unable to live up to it.
Adam Under the Tree and Israel Under the Law Are the Same Picture-
“The strength of sin is the law.”
(1 Corinthians 15:56)
-The tree revealed sin.
-The law magnified sin.
-Sin brought death
So, how do we undo the curse? How do we stop committing the same act that damned us all? Where do we turn for salvation? As usual, God's Word has the answer:
“For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.”
(John 1:17)
“Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.”
(Romans 10:4)
The story of Scripture is not:
-Try harder
-Do better
-Perform for eternal life
It's:
"Enter by the Narrow gate..." - Matthew 7:13–14
And what is the Narrow Gate? Where do we find that? The question isn't WHAT is the Narrow Gate, but WHO is the Narrow Gate:
“Then Jesus said to them again, Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.”
(John 10:7)
“I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.”
(John 10:9)
So, will YOU enter by the Narrow Gate? Will you do that today? Right now, in this moment. Call out to the one waiting to save your soul FOREVER. His name is Jesus Christ. Immanuel. God with us. King of Kings and Lord of Lords. He died to save you. Simply BELIEVE it. Call out to Him now and place your trust in HIM.
You will never regret it and never be ashamed for doing so.
“Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and rock of offense,
and whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.”
(Isaiah 28:16 + Isaiah 8:14)
“For the Scripture says, ‘Everyone who believes in Him will not be put to shame.’”
Romans 10:11
Jeremiah 7:28 “You shall say to them, ‘This is the nation that did not obey the voice of the Lord their God or accept correction; truth has perished and has been cut off from their mouth.”
Romans 1:25 “For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.”
📖 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12 (KJV) “Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.”
Oh boy, do we in humanity still love that golden calf of lies and deception. As long as it comforts our heart and tickles our ears, we will love that idol of lies. Even when it’s as clear as day, in front of our faces, we will cling to that untruth if it makes us feel good; If it gives us a fleeting moment of pleasure.
The word of God has something to say about truth. We as Christians should love the TRUTH above all other things. Even if it’s uncomfortable. Even if it humiliates us and makes us the fool in front of the world stage (Hello, I’m Michael. Met me yet?). We must always stand for the TRUTH. And what greater truth is there than the fact that Jesus Christ, God in the flesh, came into the world to save sinners from the power and penalty of sin and on the third day rose again?
We must all in the body of Christ stand in integrity for the truth. Even if it requires throwing ourselves on the sword to do so. Because in the end it was never about us, our channels, our subscriber count, our reputations, or the money in the bank. It’s about Him. We should let nothing stand in the way of the truth. Especially our own ego, pride, or comfort. To place anything over the truth is perilous, as the Word of God testifies.
Over the past month I have lost many of my “Christian friends” to this date setting ordeal. Many of the people who in early September were telling me how much they loved me, and claiming to be my best friend/biggest supporters; when that date came and went and I did the right thing and apologized, those same people turned on me and became vicious enemies.
I was gaslit. I was accused of “giving up my crown”, losing the faith, being weak, “spiritually castrating myself”, being a foolish virgin, not having the Holy Spirit, being a tare…. And on and on with the accusations. All because I apologized about setting a date that clearly failed. Now, here we are after the (3rd? 4th?) failed date by Joshua and his group of followers. That didn’t age well, did it? Just recently Joshua put up a post saying:
“The wheat and tares have been divided and Jesus spoke to me (again). He’s coming on October 16/17th (for realz this time).”
Basically accusing anyone who did not side with him of being a tare. His followers went on for weeks after his first failed prediction doing the same. How many times I heard from these people that anyone who wasn’t seeing the same grand revelation that they were seeing must not have the Holy Spirit. Grand revelation, huh? What calendar are we looking at now? It’s October 19th! You have been wrong EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
So, if by your own words the wheat and tares have been divided, who’s who? Because what I have seen is that almost NOBODY has shown true repentance over this whole ordeal, or the damage it has caused. Sure, I have seen a few apologies. But within a week those apology posts disappear and they are back on the Joshua train spewing out dates. I have seen my “friends” turn their backs on me because I dared to do the right thing and apologize. When confronted, they respond with “I will never apologize for watching”. Nobody is asking you to apologize for watching. You are called by the Word of God to repent from falsely prophesying dates.
But what does the Word of God matter these days anyway, right? We have thrown that into the garbage can and lit it on fire over the last 4 months here on YouTube, am I right?
According to many:
“Holding prophets accountable to the word is law, everything is open for interpretation, and if you dare burst my rapture bubble you are a foolish virgin from hell.”
Am I offending some of you? Good. The online body of Christ needs to be offended. We have strayed from the path of truth and everyone is too busy smelling the other’s butt crack that we have forgotten the source of all truth isn’t dreams, visions and confirmations. It’s God’s word. We have allowed our desire to get off this rock, and our emotions to rule and dictate our course and walk. And everyone is too afraid to say it.
Well, I’m done being afraid to say it. We were DECEIVED by a man who has now told the world Jesus spoke to him THREE TIMES. And all THREE TIMES came to NOTHING. How long before we take accountability for our actions? How long before we accept reality? God does not lie, folks. That’s the simplest truth in scripture. He didn’t tell this man three different dates and lie three times.
I have seen your posts, your videos, your words. You make it clear. You don’t want to accept reality about this, because to do so would admit fault and would call into question your dreams and experiences, and you just aren’t able to do that. You can’t do that, you say. What that tells me is that you aren’t standing in truth. You refuse to receive the truth and instead follow a lie because it’s easier to swallow. A few verses come to mind:
King James Bible Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish.
2 Timothy 4:3 For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.
I know I am not itching your ears right now. Just like I wasn’t itching your ears when I came out and said I was wrong in my apology video. I don’t care. We were wrong. We need to accept it and take accountability. You can hate me. You can be mad at me. But in the end, it’s not me who is your judge. We all will stand before the Most High God and give account. I led many astray by getting onboard the Joshua train. I will NOT double and triple down as many have. Enough is enough, folks. We need to heal from this. But we can’t while we double down.

John 5:28 - Jesus Christ
"Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming when all who are in their graves will hear His voice 29 and come out—those who HAVE DONE GOOD to the resurrection of life, and those who have DONE EVIL to the resurrection of judgment."

The Tree, the Law, and Why Everything Keeps Ending in Death: From Genesis, to the New Covenant.
I want to share a pattern that runs from the Garden of Eden, through the Old Testament, and all the way into Paul’s writings. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it.
Mankind Was Not Designed for the Law-
In the beginning, God didn’t give mankind tablets of stone, a covenant, or a list of commandments. He gave them relationship and one command:

“Through the law comes the knowledge of sin.”
(Romans 3:20)
“I would not have known sin except through the law.”
(Romans 7:7)
Now pay very close attention to what Paul says next:
“Apart from the law sin lies dead. … When the commandment came, sin came alive and I died.”
(Romans 7:8–9)
“The very commandment that promised life proved to be death to me.”
(Romans 7:10)
What did Paul say happened when he received the commandment? HE DIED. The commandment which he thought would bring life, actually brought death.
"The day you eat of that tree you shall surely die..." Gen 2:17
This is why Paul calls the law a "ministry of death and condemnation":
“Now if the **ministry of death**, CARVED IN LETTERS ON STONE, came with such glory that the Israelites could not gaze at Moses’ face because of its glory, which was being brought to an end…”
(2 Corinthians 3:7)
“For if there was glory in the **ministry of condemnation** (Old Covenant law), the ministry of righteousness (New Covenant grace) must far exceed it in glory.”
(2 Corinthians 3:9)
Are you starting to see why the religious hate Paul's writing and the New Covenant? Paul is dismantling confidence in the very thing they cling to. But it's not as if Paul is going rogue and making up his own doctrine. He is simply piecing together the mystery that God already revealed in His word. I am trying to show you that here. Stick with me.
Do you see that the tree of the knowledge of good/evil and the story of Eden represented humanity choosing LAW over GRACE? It was the Biblical portrait of humanity's fall from grace in the very same way Paul describes in the book of Galatians:
"You who are trying to be justified by the law have been severed from Christ; you have fallen away from grace." - Galatians 5:4
By choosing the law, we commit afresh the very same act in the Garden of Eden and we place ourself under the curse that followed:
“Christ has redeemed us from the **curse of the law**, having become a curse for us…”
(Galatians 3:13)
"All who rely on works of the law are **under a curse**. For it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.’”
(Galatians 3:10)
What was the curse? DEATH. And that is exactly what happened — spiritually first, physically later.
Israel’s Story Under the Law Confirms the Pattern-
Just look at what happened the moment the Law was given at Sinai: 3,000 died to the sword (Exodus 32:28).
Then look at the wilderness: Israel died, and died again. The law exposed sin but could never give life.
“The Law is the ministry of condemnation.”
(2 Corinthians 3:9)
“The law brings wrath.”
(Romans 4:15)
The entire Old Testament story shows that the law cannot save. It only reveals death because we are hopelessly unable to live up to it.
Adam Under the Tree and Israel Under the Law Are the Same Picture-
Here is the biblical pattern:
Eden → The Tree
-sin awakens
-guilt
-condemnation
-death
Sinai → The Law
-sin awakens (Romans 7:8–9)
-guilt
-condemnation
-death
Paul ties it all together:
“The strength of sin is the law.”
(1 Corinthians 15:56)
-The tree revealed sin.
-The law magnified sin.
-Sin brought death
So, how do we undo the curse? How do we stop committing the same act that damned us all? Where do we turn for salvation? As usual, God's Word has the answer:
“For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.”
(John 1:17)
“Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.”
(Romans 10:4)
The story of Scripture is not:
-Try harder
-Do better
-Perform for eternal life
It's:
"Enter by the Narrow gate..." - Matthew 7:13–14
And what is the Narrow Gate? Where do we find that? The question isn't WHAT is the Narrow Gate, but WHO is the Narrow Gate:
“Then Jesus said to them again, Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.”
(John 10:7)
“I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.”
(John 10:9)
So, will YOU enter by the Narrow Gate? Will you do that today? Right now, in this moment. Call out to the one waiting to save your soul FOREVER. His name is Jesus Christ. Immanuel. God with us. King of Kings and Lord of Lords. He died to save you. Simply BELIEVE it. Call out to Him now and place your trust in HIM.
You will never regret it and never be ashamed for doing so.
“Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and rock of offense,
and whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.”
(Isaiah 28:16 + Isaiah 8:14)
“For the Scripture says, ‘Everyone who believes in Him will not be put to shame.’”
Romans 10:11

Jeremiah 7:28
“You shall say to them, ‘This is the nation that did not obey the voice of the Lord their God or accept correction; truth has perished and has been cut off from their mouth.”
Romans 1:25
“For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.”
📖 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12 (KJV)
“Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.”
Oh boy, do we in humanity still love that golden calf of lies and deception. As long as it comforts our heart and tickles our ears, we will love that idol of lies. Even when it’s as clear as day, in front of our faces, we will cling to that untruth if it makes us feel good; If it gives us a fleeting moment of pleasure.
The word of God has something to say about truth. We as Christians should love the TRUTH above all other things. Even if it’s uncomfortable. Even if it humiliates us and makes us the fool in front of the world stage (Hello, I’m Michael. Met me yet?). We must always stand for the TRUTH. And what greater truth is there than the fact that Jesus Christ, God in the flesh, came into the world to save sinners from the power and penalty of sin and on the third day rose again?
We must all in the body of Christ stand in integrity for the truth. Even if it requires throwing ourselves on the sword to do so. Because in the end it was never about us, our channels, our subscriber count, our reputations, or the money in the bank. It’s about Him. We should let nothing stand in the way of the truth. Especially our own ego, pride, or comfort. To place anything over the truth is perilous, as the Word of God testifies.
Food for thought.

A final word to the YouTube Christian community:
Over the past month I have lost many of my “Christian friends” to this date setting ordeal. Many of the people who in early September were telling me how much they loved me, and claiming to be my best friend/biggest supporters; when that date came and went and I did the right thing and apologized, those same people turned on me and became vicious enemies.
I was gaslit. I was accused of “giving up my crown”, losing the faith, being weak, “spiritually castrating myself”, being a foolish virgin, not having the Holy Spirit, being a tare…. And on and on with the accusations. All because I apologized about setting a date that clearly failed. Now, here we are after the (3rd? 4th?) failed date by Joshua and his group of followers. That didn’t age well, did it? Just recently Joshua put up a post saying:
“The wheat and tares have been divided and Jesus spoke to me (again). He’s coming on October 16/17th (for realz this time).”
Basically accusing anyone who did not side with him of being a tare. His followers went on for weeks after his first failed prediction doing the same. How many times I heard from these people that anyone who wasn’t seeing the same grand revelation that they were seeing must not have the Holy Spirit. Grand revelation, huh? What calendar are we looking at now? It’s October 19th! You have been wrong EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
So, if by your own words the wheat and tares have been divided, who’s who? Because what I have seen is that almost NOBODY has shown true repentance over this whole ordeal, or the damage it has caused. Sure, I have seen a few apologies. But within a week those apology posts disappear and they are back on the Joshua train spewing out dates. I have seen my “friends” turn their backs on me because I dared to do the right thing and apologize. When confronted, they respond with “I will never apologize for watching”. Nobody is asking you to apologize for watching. You are called by the Word of God to repent from falsely prophesying dates.
But what does the Word of God matter these days anyway, right? We have thrown that into the garbage can and lit it on fire over the last 4 months here on YouTube, am I right?
According to many:
“Holding prophets accountable to the word is law, everything is open for interpretation, and if you dare burst my rapture bubble you are a foolish virgin from hell.”
Am I offending some of you? Good. The online body of Christ needs to be offended. We have strayed from the path of truth and everyone is too busy smelling the other’s butt crack that we have forgotten the source of all truth isn’t dreams, visions and confirmations. It’s God’s word. We have allowed our desire to get off this rock, and our emotions to rule and dictate our course and walk. And everyone is too afraid to say it.
Well, I’m done being afraid to say it. We were DECEIVED by a man who has now told the world Jesus spoke to him THREE TIMES. And all THREE TIMES came to NOTHING. How long before we take accountability for our actions? How long before we accept reality? God does not lie, folks. That’s the simplest truth in scripture. He didn’t tell this man three different dates and lie three times.
I have seen your posts, your videos, your words. You make it clear. You don’t want to accept reality about this, because to do so would admit fault and would call into question your dreams and experiences, and you just aren’t able to do that. You can’t do that, you say. What that tells me is that you aren’t standing in truth. You refuse to receive the truth and instead follow a lie because it’s easier to swallow. A few verses come to mind:
King James Bible
Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish.
2 Timothy 4:3
For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.
I know I am not itching your ears right now. Just like I wasn’t itching your ears when I came out and said I was wrong in my apology video. I don’t care. We were wrong. We need to accept it and take accountability. You can hate me. You can be mad at me. But in the end, it’s not me who is your judge. We all will stand before the Most High God and give account. I led many astray by getting onboard the Joshua train. I will NOT double and triple down as many have. Enough is enough, folks. We need to heal from this. But we can’t while we double down.
