For many citizens, liberty is as cherished as life itself, prompting the American revolutionary Patrick Henry to declare, “Give me liberty, or give me death!” The apostle Paul said, “Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty” (2 Corinthians 3:17, NKJV). He was likely drawing a connection to Jesus Christ’s words at the start of His ministry when He opened the scroll of Isaiah and read this:
“The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me,
Because He has anointed Me
To preach the gospel to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives
And recovery of sight to the blind,
To set at liberty those who are oppressed;
To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD” (Luke 4:18–19, NKJV; cf. Isaiah 61:1–2).
The Greek word translated “liberty” in 2 Corinthians 3:17 means “personal freedom from servitude, confinement, or oppression.” Jesus came to set us free spiritually. To the children of God, Christ says, “So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed” (John 8:36). When a person receives Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, the Spirit of the Lord takes up residence in that individual (Romans 8:9; 1 Corinthians 12:13; 2 Corinthians 3:18). Believers are sealed with the promised Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13–14) and made alive by the Spirit of the Living God (2 Corinthians 3:3, 6).
Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty because those who are in Christ—those born of God’s Spirit (John 3:5–6)—are freed from the law of sin and death (Galatians 4:3–7). Paul told the Romans, “And because you belong to him, the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you from the power of sin that leads to death” (Romans 8:2, NLT; see also Romans 7:4–5). “We have been released from the law, for we died to it and are no longer captive to its power. Now we can serve God, not in the old way of obeying the letter of the law, but in the new way of living in the Spirit” (Romans 7:6, NLT).
Liberty and freedom are words Paul often used to sum up the experience of salvation in Christ. He said Christians no longer live in bondage as slaves to sin: “Sin is no longer your master, for you no longer live under the requirements of the law. Instead, you live under the freedom of God’s grace” (Romans 6:14, NLT). Paul warned believers not to fall back into slavery to the law: “So Christ has truly set us free. Now make sure that you stay free, and don’t get tied up again in slavery to the law” (Galatians 5:1, NLT).
In Jesus Christ, believers are set free from the guilt, influence, and punishment of sin (Romans 8:1–6). Jesus is “the truth” (John 14:6), and He told His hearers who believed in Him, “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free” (John 8:32, NLT).
The biblical concept of liberty is quite different from the world’s idea of freedom. Christian liberty is not the worldly freedom to do whatever we want. Such freedom inevitably leads to another kind of slavery—that of serving our own passions and lusts (see 2 Peter 2:19). But where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is the liberty to deny the flesh and our own selfish desires for the purpose of obeying God, pleasing Him, and bringing glory to His name (Romans 6:16–18; 1 Corinthians 7:22–23).
The ultimate liberty is freedom from death through the gift of eternal life in Jesus Christ (John 17:2–3; 1 John 5:11–12). Believers can live free from the fear of death and the sting of death because our Lord Jesus Christ gives us victory over these foes (1 Corinthians 15:53–57).
Before we received the Spirit of the Lord, our lives were characterized by servitude to sin, the law, and death. Now that we are alive in Christ and filled with the Holy Spirit, we have a new life (2 Corinthians 5:17; Romans 6:4). We are set free to serve God in the fullest sense of liberation. One game-changing, life-transforming aspect of our spiritual freedom is knowing that this present world is not our real home (Hebrews 11:13; 13:14; Philippians 3:20; 1 Peter 2:11; 1 John 2:15–17). There is liberty where the Spirit of the Lord is because, as God’s children, we live with the future expectation of glory. We have God’s promise of freedom from death and decay in our eternal heavenly home (Romans 8:21).
Vir baie burgers word vryheid net so gekoester as die lewe self, wat die Amerikaanse rewolusionêr Patrick Henry aangespoor het om te verklaar: “Gee my vryheid, of gee my die dood!” Die apostel Paulus het gesê: “Die Here is die Gees; en waar die Gees van die Here is, daar is vryheid” (2 Korintiërs 3:17). Hy het waarskynlik ‘n verband getrek met Jesus Christus se woorde aan die begin van Sy bediening toe Hy die boekrol van Jesaja oopgemaak en dit gelees het:
“Die Gees van die Here is op My,
omdat Hy My gesalf het
om die evangelie aan die armes te verkondig;
Hy het My gestuur om die gebrokenes van hart te genees,
om vryheid aan die gevangenes te verkondig
en herstel van gesig aan die blindes,
om die onderdruktes in vryheid weg te stuur;
om ‘n aangename jaar van die Here aan te kondig” (Lukas 4:18–19, OAV; vgl. Jesaja 61:1–2).
Die Griekse woord wat as “vryheid” in 2 Korintiërs 3:17 vertaal word, beteken “persoonlike vryheid van slawerny, opsluiting of onderdrukking.” Jesus het gekom om ons geestelik vry te maak. Aan die kinders van God sê Christus: “As die Seun julle dan vrygemaak het, sal julle waarlik vry wees” (Johannes 8:36). Wanneer iemand Jesus Christus as Here en Verlosser ontvang, neem die Gees van die Here in daardie individu woonplek (Romeine 8:9; 1 Korintiërs 12:13; 2 Korintiërs 3:18). Gelowiges word verseël met die beloofde Heilige Gees (Efesiërs 1:13–14) en lewend gemaak deur die Gees van die Lewende God (2 Korintiërs 3:3, 6).
Waar die Gees van die Here is, is daar vryheid, want diegene wat in Christus is – diegene wat uit God se Gees gebore is (Johannes 3:5–6) – is vrygemaak van die wet van sonde en dood (Galasiërs 4:3–7). Paulus het vir die Romeine gesê: “En omdat julle aan Hom behoort, het die krag van die lewendmakende Gees julle vrygemaak van die mag van die sonde wat tot die dood lei” (Romeine 8:2, NLT; sien ook Romeine 7:4–5). “Ons is van die wet vrygemaak, want ons het daarvoor gesterf en is nie meer gevange aan sy krag nie. Nou kan ons God dien, nie op die ou manier van gehoorsaamheid aan die letter van die wet nie, maar in die nuwe manier van lewe in die Gees” (Romeine 7:6).
Vryheid en vryheid is woorde wat Paulus dikwels gebruik het om die ervaring van verlossing in Christus op te som. Hy het gesê Christene leef nie meer in slawerny as slawe van die sonde nie: “Sonde is nie meer julle meester nie, want julle leef nie meer onder die vereistes van die wet nie, maar onder die vryheid van die genade van God” (Romeine 6:14). Paulus het gelowiges gewaarsku om nie terug te val in slawerny aan die wet nie: “Christus het ons dus waarlik vrygemaak. Pas nou op dat julle vry bly en nie weer in slawerny aan die wet vasgebind word nie” (Galasiërs 5:1).
In Jesus Christus word gelowiges vrygemaak van die skuld, invloed en straf van sonde (Romeine 8:1–6). Jesus is “die waarheid” (Johannes 14:6), en Hy het vir Sy hoorders wat in Hom geglo het, gesê: “Julle sal die waarheid ken, en die waarheid sal julle vrymaak” (Johannes 8:32, NLT).
Die Bybelse konsep van vryheid is heeltemal anders as die wêreld se idee van vryheid. Christelike vryheid is nie die wêreldse vryheid om te doen net wat ons wil nie. Sulke vryheid lei onvermydelik tot ‘n ander soort slawerny – dié van die dien van ons eie passies en wellus (sien 2 Petrus 2:19). Maar waar die Gees van die Here is, daar is die vryheid om die vlees en ons eie selfsugtige begeertes te verloën met die doel om God te gehoorsaam, Hom te behaag en Sy Naam te verheerlik (Romeine 6:16–18; 1 Korintiërs 7:22–23).
Die uiteindelike vryheid is vryheid van die dood deur die gawe van die ewige lewe in Jesus Christus (Johannes 17:2–3; 1 Johannes 5:11–12). Gelowiges kan vry leef van die vrees vir die dood en die angel van die dood omdat ons Here Jesus Christus ons oorwinning oor hierdie vyande gee (1 Korintiërs 15:53–57).
Voordat ons die Gees van die Here ontvang het, is ons lewens gekenmerk deur diensbaarheid aan sonde, die wet en die dood. Noudat ons in Christus lewe en met die Heilige Gees vervul is, het ons ‘n nuwe lewe (2 Korintiërs 5:17; Romeine 6:4). Ons is vrygemaak om God in die volste sin van bevryding te dien. Een spelveranderende, lewenstransformerende aspek van ons geestelike vryheid is om te weet dat hierdie huidige wêreld nie ons ware tuiste is nie (Hebreërs 11:13; 13:14; Filippense 3:20; 1 Petrus 2:11; 1 Johannes 2:15–17). Daar is vryheid waar die Gees van die Here is, want as God se kinders leef ons met die toekomstige verwagting van heerlikheid. Ons het God se belofte van vryheid van dood en verval in ons ewige hemelse tuiste (Romeine 8:21).

Bible Teaching of the Day
“I am the Resurrection and the Life” (John 11:25) is the fifth of the seven “I am” statements of Jesus. Lazarus was dead. Earlier, Jesus had heard that His good friend was sick, but instead of going to visit Lazarus, Jesus “stayed where he was for two more days” (John 11:6). He explained to His puzzled disciples that the sickness was “for God’s glory, that God’s Son may be glorified through it” (v. 4). After Lazarus died, Jesus began a journey to Bethany, Lazarus’s home. Significantly, when Jesus informed His disciples that Lazarus was dead, He simply said His friend was “asleep, but I am going there to wake him up” (John 11:11).
Outside Bethany, Lazarus’s sister Martha went out to meet Jesus. “If you had been here,” she said, “my brother would not have died.” Such was her faith in Jesus’ power to heal. Jesus replied by assuring Martha that her brother would rise again. Martha responded again in faith: “I know he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.” At this point, Jesus makes His fifth “I Am” statement in John’s gospel, “I am the resurrection and the life,” and He follows it with a call to faith: “He who believes in me will live, even though he dies, and whoever lives and believes in me will never die” (John 11:21-24).
When Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the life,” He was claiming to be the source of both. There is no resurrection apart from Christ, and there is no eternal life apart from Christ. Beyond that, Jesus was also making a statement concerning His divine nature. He does more than give life; He is life, and therefore death has no ultimate power over Him. Jesus confers this spiritual life on those who believe in Him, so that they share His triumph over death (1 John 5:11-12). Believers in Jesus Christ will experience resurrection because, having the life Jesus gives, it is impossible for death to defeat them (1 Corinthians 15:53-57).
The grieving Martha wished that Jesus had arrived earlier so He could have healed her brother. And when Jesus spoke of resurrection, Martha assumed He was speaking of “the resurrection at the last day.” In both statements, Martha reveals that she considered Time an insurmountable obstacle. In effect, Martha was saying, “It’s too late to help Lazarus (the time is past), so now we must wait (allow more time).”
Jesus shows that neither Death nor time is an obstacle to Him. Outside the tomb, “Jesus called in a loud voice, ‘Lazarus, come forth!’ The dead man came out” (John 11:43). It’s one thing to claim to be the resurrection and the life, but Jesus proved it by raising Lazarus, who was four days dead. Truly, with Christ, death is but “sleep” (1 Thessalonians 4:13). Death has no dominion over Him who is Life itself, nor does death have dominion over those who are in Him (1 Corinthians 15:54-55). Because He lives, we live. Because He is Life, we have life eternally.
Jesus’ statement that He is the resurrection and the life provides a godly perspective on several spiritual matters. Martha believed that the resurrection is an event; Jesus showed her (and us) that the resurrection is a Person. Martha’s knowledge of eternal life was an abstract idea; Jesus proved that knowledge of eternal life is a personal relationship. Martha thought victory over death was a future expectation; Jesus corrects her, showing that victory is a present reality.
After presenting Himself as the resurrection and the life, Jesus asks Martha an all-important question: “Do you believe this?” (John 11:26). May Martha’s answer be ours as well: “Yes, Lord, I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God who was to come into the world” (verse 27).
Bybel Lering vir die Dag
“Ek is die Opstanding en die Lewe” (Johannes 11:25) is die vyfde van die sewe “Ek is”-stellings van Jesus. Lasarus was dood. Vroeër het Jesus gehoor dat Sy goeie vriend siek was, maar in plaas daarvan om Lasarus te besoek, het Jesus “nog twee dae gebly waar Hy was” (Johannes 11:6). Hy het aan Sy verwarde dissipels verduidelik dat die siekte “tot eer van God was, sodat die Seun van God daardeur verheerlik kan word” (v. 4). Nadat Lasarus gesterf het, het Jesus ‘n reis na Betanië, Lasarus se huis, begin. Dit is betekenisvol dat toe Jesus Sy dissipels meegedeel het dat Lasarus dood was, Hy eenvoudig gesê het Sy vriend “slaap, maar Ek gaan daarheen om hom wakker te maak” (Johannes 11:11).
Buite Betanië het Lasarus se suster Marta uitgegaan om Jesus te ontmoet. “As U hier was,” het sy gesê, “sou my broer nie gesterf het nie.” So was haar geloof in Jesus se krag om te genees. Jesus het geantwoord deur Marta te verseker dat haar broer weer sou opstaan. Marta het weer in geloof geantwoord: “Ek weet dat hy sal opstaan in die opstanding op die laaste dag.” Op hierdie stadium maak Jesus sy vyfde “Ek Is”-stelling in Johannes se evangelie, “Ek is die opstanding en die lewe,” en Hy volg dit met ‘n oproep tot geloof: “Wie in My glo, sal lewe, al sterwe hy ook; en elkeen wat lewe en in My glo, sal nooit sterwe nie” (Johannes 11:21-24).
Toe Jesus gesê het: “Ek is die opstanding en die lewe,” het Hy beweer dat Hy die bron van beide is. Daar is geen opstanding sonder Christus nie, en daar is geen ewige lewe sonder Christus nie. Verder het Jesus ook ‘n stelling gemaak oor Sy goddelike natuur. Hy doen meer as om lewe te gee; Hy is lewe, en daarom het die dood geen uiteindelike mag oor Hom nie. Jesus verleen hierdie geestelike lewe aan diegene wat in Hom glo, sodat hulle Sy triomf oor die dood kan deel (1 Johannes 5:11-12). Gelowiges in Jesus Christus sal die opstanding ervaar omdat dit onmoontlik is vir die dood om hulle te verslaan, met die lewe wat Jesus gee (1 Korintiërs 15:53-57).
Die bedroefde Marta het gewens dat Jesus vroeër aangekom het sodat Hy haar broer kon genees. En toe Jesus van die opstanding gepraat het, het Marta aangeneem dat Hy van “die opstanding op die laaste dag” praat. In beide stellings openbaar Marta dat sy Tyd as ‘n onoorkomelike hindernis beskou het. In werklikheid het Marta gesê: “Dit is te laat om Lasarus te help (die tyd is verby), so nou moet ons wag (meer tyd toelaat).”
Jesus wys dat nóg die Dood nóg tyd ‘n hindernis vir Hom is. Buite die graf het Jesus “met ‘n harde stem geroep: ‘Lasarus, kom uit!’ Die dooie man het uitgekom” (Johannes 11:43). Dit is een ding om te beweer dat jy die opstanding en die lewe is, maar Jesus het dit bewys deur Lasarus op te wek, wat vier dae dood was. Waarlik, met Christus is die dood maar net “slaap” (1 Tessalonisense 4:13). Die dood het geen heerskappy oor Hom wat die Lewe self is nie, en ook nie oor diegene wat in Hom is nie (1 Korintiërs 15:54-55). Omdat Hy leef, leef ons. Omdat Hy die Lewe is, het ons die ewige lewe.
Jesus se stelling dat Hy die opstanding en die lewe is, bied ‘n goddelike perspektief op verskeie geestelike sake. Marta het geglo dat die opstanding ‘n gebeurtenis is; Jesus het vir haar (en vir ons) gewys dat die opstanding ‘n Persoon is. Marta se kennis van die ewige lewe was ‘n abstrakte idee; Jesus het bewys dat kennis van die ewige lewe ‘n persoonlike verhouding is. Marta het gedink oorwinning oor die dood was ‘n toekomstige verwagting; Jesus korrigeer haar en wys dat oorwinning ‘n huidige werklikheid is.
Nadat Hy Homself as die opstanding en die lewe voorgestel het, vra Jesus vir Marta ‘n allerbelangrikste vraag: “Glo jy dit?” (Johannes 11:26). Mag Marta se antwoord ook ons s’n wees: “Ja, Here, Ek glo dat U die Christus is, die Seun van God wat in die wêreld sou kom” (vers 27).
Today’s Devotional
The expression God is the God of the hills and valleys originates from the narrative of two battles in the book of 1 Kings. Essentially, saying that God is the God of the hills and valleys means that God’s sovereign power is not limited or confined to any one location or sphere of influence. The Lord Almighty rules and reigns supreme over every place on earth—every hill, every valley.
It was common in ancient pagan nations to perceive each god or goddess as having a particular domain or sphere of power on the earth. Baal, for example, was the god of fertility and weather. The god Baal Peor was a local deity whose range seems to have been confined to a certain geographical area. There were additional gods for the forests, the crops, the mountains, the seas, and the rivers. In this cultural framework, monotheism was unique, and the idea that any god was supreme in all areas was unheard of.
First Kings 20 opens with King Ben-Hadad, ruler of Aram, attacking the city of Samaria in Israel. Ben-Hadad demands that King Ahab surrender his wealth, wives, and children to him. Initially, Ahab agrees, but when Ben-Hadad adds the condition that he be given anything that his servants lay their hands on, Ahab refuses. His refusal infuriates Ben-Hadad such that he threatens to destroy the city so thoroughly that not even enough dust would remain for each of his soldiers to take a handful.
An unnamed prophet announces to Ahab that God will grant Israel victory so that “you will know that I am the LORD” (1 Kings 20:13). In this instance, King Ahab obeys God. True to God’s promise, the Arameans are driven back, and the siege is brought to an end.
Because Samaria is in the hill country of Israel, the Arameans mistakenly believe that the God of Israel is only the god of the hills and not of the valleys or anywhere else. Thinking Israel’s ability to triumph was limited to higher terrain, they regroup and begin to strengthen their forces for an attack on the lower plains.
Once more, the anonymous prophet warns King Ahab that Ben-Hadad’s army will strike again in the spring: “This is what the LORD says: ‘Because the Arameans think the LORD is a god of the hills and not a god of the valleys, I will deliver this vast army into your hands, and you will know that I am the LORD’” (1 Kings 20:28).
Not only did the Arameans discover that Israel’s sovereign God knows no limitations, but Ahab and all of Israel did as well. The one true God proved that He rules everywhere. Ben-Hadad’s forces were defeated so thoroughly in the second battle at Aphek that the king surrendered to Ahab while pleading for his life to be spared.
God gave Israel victory both at Samaria in the hills and at Aphek in the valleys to show that, unlike the ineffective and finite gods of Canaan, God is sovereign over all territories and regions. It is a mistake to think of God as only a “hill god” or a “valley god.” He is the God of both the hills and the valleys. In fact, He is the all-powerful, infinite Ruler of the whole earth. “The earth is the LORD’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it” (Psalm 24:1).
The expression God of the hills and valleys was popularized by the 2017 song “Hills and Valleys” by Tauren Wells.
Vandag se Bemoediging
Die uitdrukking God is die God van die heuwels en valleie is afkomstig van die verhaal van twee veldslae in die boek 1 Konings. Om te sê dat God die God van die heuwels en valleie is, beteken in wese dat God se soewereine mag nie beperk of beperk is tot enige een plek of invloedsfeer nie. Die Here die Almagtige heers en regeer oppermagtig oor elke plek op aarde—elke heuwel, elke vallei.
Dit was algemeen in antieke heidense nasies om elke god of godin te beskou asof hy ‘n spesifieke domein of magsfeer op die aarde het. Baäl was byvoorbeeld die god van vrugbaarheid en weer. Die god Baäl-Peor was ‘n plaaslike godheid wie se reikwydte tot ‘n sekere geografiese gebied beperk was. Daar was bykomende gode vir die woude, die gewasse, die berge, die see en die riviere. In hierdie kulturele raamwerk was monoteïsme uniek, en die idee dat enige god in alle gebiede oppermagtig was, was ongehoord.
Eerste Konings 20 begin met koning Ben-Hadad, heerser van Aram, wat die stad Samaria in Israel aanval. Ben-Hadad eis dat koning Agab sy rykdom, vrouens en kinders aan hom oorgee. Aanvanklik stem Agab in, maar toe Ben-Hadad die voorwaarde byvoeg dat hy enigiets kry wat sy dienaars in die hande kry, weier Agab. Sy weiering maak Ben-Hadad so woedend dat hy dreig om die stad so deeglik te vernietig dat nie eers genoeg stof oorbly vir elkeen van sy soldate om ‘n handvol te neem nie.
‘n Naamlose profeet kondig aan Agab aan dat God Israel die oorwinning sal gee sodat “jy sal weet dat Ek die HERE is” (1 Konings 20:13). In hierdie geval gehoorsaam koning Agab God. Getrou aan God se belofte word die Arameërs teruggedryf en die beleëring word tot ‘n einde gebring.
Omdat Samaria in die heuwelland van Israel is, glo die Arameërs verkeerdelik dat die God van Israel slegs die god van die heuwels is en nie van die valleie of enige ander plek nie. Omdat hulle dink dat Israel se vermoë om te triomfeer beperk was tot hoër terrein, hergroepeer hulle en begin hulle hul magte versterk vir ‘n aanval op die laer vlaktes.
Weereens waarsku die anonieme profeet koning Agab dat Ben-Hadad se leër weer in die lente sal toeslaan: “So sê die HERE: ‘Omdat die Arameërs dink dat die HERE ’n god van die heuwels is en nie ’n god van die valleie nie, sal Ek hierdie groot leër in julle hande gee, en julle sal weet dat Ek die HERE is’” (1 Konings 20:28).
Nie net het die Arameërs ontdek dat Israel se soewereine God geen beperkings ken nie, maar Agab en die hele Israel ook. Die een ware God het bewys dat Hy oral regeer. Ben-Hadad se magte is so deeglik verslaan in die tweede geveg by Afek dat die koning aan Agab oorgegee het terwyl hy gesmeek het dat sy lewe gespaar word.
God het Israel die oorwinning gegee by beide Samaria in die heuwels en by Afek in die valleie om te wys dat God, anders as die oneffektiewe en eindige gode van Kanaän, soewerein is oor alle gebiede en streke. Dit is ’n fout om aan God te dink as slegs ’n “heuwelgod” of ’n “valleigod”. Hy is die God van beide die heuwels en die valleie. Trouens, Hy is die almagtige, oneindige Heerser van die hele aarde. “Die aarde behoort aan die HERE en alles daarop, die wêreld en almal wat daarin woon” (Psalm 24:1).
Die uitdrukking God van die heuwels en valleie is gewild gemaak deur die 2017-liedjie “Hills and Valleys” deur Tauren Wells.

Ons Onoopgemaakte Môre:
Sou dit nie net lekker gewees het as ons kon sien wat om die draai van môre lê nie ? Dan kan ons daarop voorberei, dit beheer of dit selfs vermy.
‘n Wyse persoon het gesê, “Alhoewel ons nie om hoeke kan sien nie, kan God wel. “Hoeveel beter en meer gerusstellend is dit nie !
Ek het onlangs eiers gekook, en terwyl ek in die kookwater gestaar het en gewonder het hoe lank dit sal neem om die eiers net reg te kry, het ek gedink… kan ek hulle nie net oopmaak om te sien hoe hulle al lyk nie. Maar dit sou dit net bederf het.
Ons wil graag ander dinge sien maar kan nie — soos môre, Dis n jammer dat ons nie môre kan oopkraak, om te sien of dit is soos ons dit wil hê nie. Maar om met môre voor sy tyd in te meng, is soos om ‘n gedeeltelike gaar eier oop te maak, sou dit net vandag en môre bederf.
Omdat Jesus belowe het om elke dag vir ons te sorg en dit môre insluit, kan ons een dag op ‘n slag deur geloof lewe (Matteus 6:33-34)
Ek het besluit om môre veilig in God se hande te laat. Het jy ?
Jy maak net moeilikheid groot, wanneer jy oor môre bekommer !
An Unopened Tomorrow:
Wouldn’t it be nice if we could see what tomorrow is all about? Then we could prepare for it, control it, or even avoid it.
A wise person said, “Although we can’t see around corners, God can.” How much better and more reassuring that is!
I was recently boiling eggs, and as I stared into the boiling water and wondered how long it would take to get the eggs just right, I thought… why don’t I just open them and see what they look like. But that would just spoil it.
We would like to see other things but can’t — like tomorrow. It’s a shame we can’t crack open tomorrow to see if it’s the way we want it. But interfering with tomorrow before its time is like cracking open a partially cooked egg, it would just spoil today and tomorrow.
Because Jesus promised to take care of us every day, including tomorrow, we can live by faith one day at a time (Matthew 6:33-34).
I have decided to leave tomorrow safely in God’s hands. Have you?
You only create trouble when you worry about tomorrow!

For years, Amazon has insisted its Alexa devices only listen when prompted by a “wake word.” But now, the company appears ready to drop the charade entirely. It has announced plans to acquire Bee, a startup behind a new wearable AI bracelet that listens to–and transcribes–everything you say, all day long.
Yes, every word. Whether you’re talking to your spouse, venting alone in the car, whispering in church, or brainstorming at work, the bracelet’s AI is quietly documenting it all. No “wake word.” No permission. Just endless listening.
According to Bee’s CEO, the goal is to build “a world where AI is truly personal.” The bracelet doesn’t store audio but creates a searchable, real-time text transcript of your day. It even identifies and pulls out to-do items and calendar events from your everyday chatter.
Amazon claims the deal isn’t finalized yet, but their interest speaks volumes. In today’s AI arms race, the company knows that more personal data equals more powerful AI. And if AI is going to run your life, it wants every word you say to feed the machine.
But at what cost?
Below are five significant dangers this kind of technology brings–and why we should all be concerned.
1. The End of Verbal Privacy
Spoken words have always had one saving grace: they disappear. But not anymore. With Bee and similar devices, every comment, confession, or offhand joke becomes a permanent record. Imagine a coworker wearing one in a meeting, or a friend recording your private conversation at dinner. If everyone owns a bracelet like this, no conversation is truly off the record.
This doesn’t just threaten privacy–it rewrites what privacy even means. In a world where every word is archived, even innocent remarks could be used against you later, in court, in the workplace, or in the court of public opinion.
2. Consent Becomes Obsolete
We used to believe privacy was something you could opt into. Now, your privacy might depend on whether the person next to you has opted out.
If your friend is wearing Bee, you’re being recorded too–without your consent. There are no clear protections or social norms for this. How would you know if someone at a church service, a counseling session, or a quiet café is silently transcribing your words?
The very concept of “opting out” becomes meaningless when surveillance is happening by proximity, not by choice.
3. Legal and Ethical Grey Zones
This technology opens a legal minefield. What happens if Bee records a sensitive business discussion, or captures attorney-client or doctor-patient conversations? Could courts subpoena your private speech? Could companies harvest it under vague “productivity tools” terms?
Bee’s AI turns audio into structured, searchable text. That transcript can be stored, hacked, sold, or demanded by governments. Legal safeguards haven’t caught up, and the loopholes are big enough to drive a surveillance truck through.
4. Behavior Modification Through Surveillance
When people know they’re being watched–or in this case, listened to–they change. They speak less freely. They joke less. They self-censor, avoid controversial opinions, and filter their every word.
The result? We become a society where people are no longer authentic–just edited versions of themselves, performing for the algorithm. We risk creating a world where spontaneity dies, and every word is a calculated move to avoid misinterpretation or judgment.
Even our internal monologue may become curated if AI is listening when we talk to ourselves. It’s not just your voice that’s being analyzed–it’s your soul.
5. Corporate and Government Overreach
Perhaps the most disturbing danger is the inevitable abuse of power. Massive databases of speech transcripts are too tempting to resist. Tech companies will use them to train more addictive AI tools and target users with emotionally tailored ads. Governments will demand access for “security purposes.” Hackers will steal them. And somewhere in the fine print, you’ll have given it all away.
We’ve seen it before–Amazon’s Ring shared video with police without warrants. Facebook manipulated users’ emotions in secret tests. TikTok raised alarms about foreign influence.
Now imagine a future where AI predicts what you’ll say next–where it flags conversations as “concerning,” “depressed,” or “non-compliant.” This isn’t just Big Brother watching–it’s Big Brother interpreting.
Amazon’s move toward Bee is not a fluke. Other tech giants are sprinting down the same road: Google’s Pixel Buds now feed audio to Gemini AI. Meta has Ray-Ban glasses that watch and listen. Samsung, Apple, and OpenAI are racing to create seamless, always-on digital assistants that blend into your everyday life. Jony Ive’s top-secret device for OpenAI is rumored to function like a pocket-sized AI companion–always learning, always listening.
What’s next? AI that monitors your facial expressions in real-time? Devices that read your tone, your heartbeat, your mood–and adjust your digital experience accordingly?
At what point does personalization become predestination?
We’re not just building smarter machines–we’re building silent judges.
If we allow this listening culture to advance unchecked, freedom of speech will not be lost through legislation–it will dissolve through pressure. You will still be able to say what you want–but you’ll constantly wonder who’s listening, what it means, and whether it might be used against you someday.
Signs of the Times
Volcano Watch: Why Growing Earthquake Swarms Are Raising Red Flags
While much of the world is distracted by politics, pop culture, and inflation, a deeper danger has been quietly building: the volcanoes of the world are awakening. Slowly. Relentlessly.
From the frozen peaks of Alaska to the towering shadow of Mount Rainier in Washington, seismic swarms and volcanic tremors are shaking the earth like a warning bell. This isn’t just a geological story. It’s a national story. A spiritual story. And it may soon become a deeply personal one for every American, no matter how far you live from the slopes of a volcano.
A Nation Beneath Fire and Ice
Earlier this month, Mount Rainier–one of the most dangerous volcanoes in North America–was hit by over 330 earthquakes in just 48 hours, the largest swarm ever recorded there. For comparison, it usually sees fewer than ten small quakes per month. Scientists are cautious not to predict an imminent eruption, but they admit something is clearly stirring deep within the mountain.
Meanwhile in Alaska, long-dormant volcanoes like Iliamna, Spurr, and Great Sitkin are reawakening. The USGS recently raised its alert level for Mount Spurr, warning an eruption could occur within weeks. Under the ocean, Axial Seamount–an enormous submarine volcano off the Oregon coast–is expected to erupt anytime.
And all of this comes on the heels of a 7.3 magnitude earthquake that struck the southern coast of Alaska just weeks ago, triggering tsunami warnings and widespread panic. Though no wave came, the shaking was a vivid reminder that the “Ring of Fire”–the massive horseshoe-shaped belt of seismic activity surrounding the Pacific Ocean–is alive and restless.
God’s Hand in the Quaking Earth
For those of us who view the world through a biblical lens, none of this is surprising. In fact, it’s exactly what we’ve been told to expect.
Jesus warned in Matthew 24 that as the end draws near, “there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains.” The apostle Paul echoed this in Romans 8, describing a creation that groans like a woman in labor, yearning for redemption.
These earthquakes, eruptions, and cosmic signs–like the fiery canyon of solar plasma that exploded from the Sun just this week–aren’t just random geological events. They are divine reminders. Warnings. God’s way of shaking a stubborn world awake.
And He is in control. Even the chaos is calculated. The fire beneath the earth still answers to His voice.
Why Everyone Should Care
Perhaps you’re reading this from Kansas or Connecticut and thinking, “So what? That’s a West Coast problem.” But the truth is, if even one of these volcanoes blows–especially Mount Rainier or a major Alaskan peak–the impact will reach every corner of the nation.
A significant eruption would send ash plumes thousands of feet into the air, grounding flights across the country and disrupting global air travel for weeks. Volcanic ash doesn’t just fall nearby–it spreads. A large enough eruption could dump ash on farmland in the Midwest, destroy crops, contaminate water supplies, and wreak havoc on livestock.
Ports could shut down, halting the flow of goods into our already fragile supply chain. Grocery store shelves would empty–again. Insurance companies would be decimated by claims, sending ripple effects through Wall Street. Billions in damages could collapse local economies and trigger national recessions. Power grids could go dark. Tourism would dry up.
Worse yet, mass evacuations–especially in cities like Seattle or Anchorage–would lead to overwhelming humanitarian crises. How would we house and feed hundreds of thousands fleeing a volcanic disaster? How would hospitals function if blanketed in ash? How would we respond to a natural catastrophe on top of everything else already pressing in on this nation?
The Earth is Speaking. Are We Listening?
Natural disasters aren’t just about science. They are moments of reckoning. The ground shakes, and suddenly our politics don’t matter. Our technology doesn’t help. Our arguments seem small. In a moment, everything we build can be reduced to rubble.
This is a call to humility. A call to repentance. A call to readiness–both practical and spiritual.
God is allowing the earth to groan, not to destroy us, but to wake us. To remind us that no nation–no matter how advanced–is immune from His sovereign hand. We’ve been lulled into comfort, but comfort is not our birthright. And judgment always begins with warning.
As volcanoes stir and plates shift and the sky burns with fire, it’s time to remember who really holds this world together. It is not government. Not science. Not man. It is God alone.

The 5th Trumpet NEXT – Babylon (Republic of California) Ring of Fire and Yellowstone
Pointing to Babylon
Babylon the Thee Place on Earth were Demons find habitation, evil spirits find shelter and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird Rev 18:2 The Babylon of the Book Revelation.
Who is this Mysterious Babylon that John saw in his revelation? Is it the City of the Roman Empire = the Vatican City of the Capital of the Catholic Church or is it The Empire of the Muslim / Islam Faith, Mecca and Medina?
After Seeking God’s Council within the Holy Spirit, Mystery Babylon was revealed to me, The Cities of the Islam Empire was ruled out because both these cities will fall at the Battle of God and Magog just before the 7 Year Peace agreement. Leaving the City of the Vatican, the Capital of the Roman Catholic Church. with the False Prophet as the Head of this city = the Pope.
But The Vatican is not a Coastal City and does not sell goods described in Revelation.
Rev 18:2 – 24 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.
How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.
And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,
Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:
The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,
And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.
And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all.
The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,
And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!
For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!
And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.
Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.
And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.
And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;
And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.
If you can Point out 1 Place on Earth that fits this bill, where will it Be?
The answer is the State of California, currently still part of the USA, but soon to CAL exit soonest. Then the Republic of California will be Born, The Mystery Babylon Revealed.
Thee Place on Earth were Demons find habitation, evil spirits find shelter and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird Rev 18:2
The Republic of California is the place on Earth that feeds the world with sin, As soon as The Republic of California exits the joint states of America, California will be the 6th Most powerful and richest Country in the World, with cities like Hollywood, San Francisco and Los Angeles. The pits of sin and Hell, but do not exclude the Vatican as yet. The Vatican is an animal fed by California, 80% plus of the Vatican and the Roman Catholic Church income is generated in California, making California the Feeding place of the False Prophet.
3 Trumpets Left = The 5th Trumpet Next
3 Woe’s – 3 Trumpets Left
Some end time Teachers say that the 7 Trumpets will sound after the 7th Seal are opened and before the Wrath of God is poured out as the 7 Plaques and Some End Time Programs and Material States that there is only 2 Trumpets Left to Sound, the 6th and 7th Trumpets, Today I will Proof that 4 Trumpets already sounded and 3 Trumpets still Needs to Sound and all 3 Will Sound within a Time Period of 3 and half Years of the Great Tribulation- Just before the 2nd Coming of Jesus Christ, The Rapture of thee Elect and the Battle of Armageddon. For the 7th Seal. The 7th Trumpet and the 7TH Plaque of Gods Wrath describes the same event = The Battle of Armageddon
4 of the seven trumpets that signify the end of the age have come to pass. With only 3 left to occur, we must look to the Bible to understand what to expect.
John confirms that 3 last Trumpets will be extremely Large and have a huge impact on Earth, calling it the 3 Woe’s
Rev 8:13 And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!
Rev 11:14 The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.
In this study we will see How many Trumpet sounded already and what will the LAST 3 Woe’s or Trumpets be?
The Seven trumpets
The Bible indicates in Revelation that seven trumpets will sound before the end of the age and the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. 4 of the seven have already sounded as evidenced by critical moments in recent history, and a third world war, which is the triggering event of the sixth trumpet. Our understanding of Biblical prophecies and the events that have already come to pass, will guide us in what to expect when the final 3 trumpets sound.
The First Two Trumpets
In Revelation 8:7, John describes an apocalyptic vision. His vision explains the triggering event of the sounding of the first trumpet — hail and fire mixed with blood falling to the ground, and approximately 33% of all of the grass and trees in the known world destroyed.
During World War I, large amounts of artillery shells and chemical agents were released on troops for the first time in history through modern warfare, killing over 8 million people. Soldiers on both sides burned vast tracts of land in order to eliminate any natural or man-made items that their enemies could use.
Another war, World War II is also the event that was triggered by the sounding of the second trumpet. Looking to Revelation 8:8-9, the Bible explains that a third of the ships involved in the conflict that coincides with the activation of this trumpet will be destroyed. During World War II, approximately one third of the ships that participated in the conflict were sunk. In turn, the nuclear bomb deployed at Hiroshima resembled “something like a great mountain burning with fire,” a sight that was new on the world stage.
The Third Trumpet
In a podcast discussing the seven trumpets, Irvin Baxter told listeners of his understanding of the sounding of the third trumpet, which occurred during the nuclear disaster at Chernobyl. In Revelation 8:10-11, the prophet explains that the third trumpet will sound before a star, called Wormwood, will fall and affect a third of the waters.
In 1995, God prompted Irvin to research the Chernobyl disaster that occurred in the Ukraine in 1986, whereupon he learned that “Chernobyl” means “Wormwood” in Russian. Furthermore, the nuclear radiation that emanated from the destroyed power plant contaminated more than 33 percent of the water supply in Europe and Western Asia, killing thousands and affecting hundreds of thousands of other citizens with diseases caused by the radiation.
The Fourth Event
Revelation 8:12-13 explains that the fourth trumpet would sound before the length of the days become shortened, and the sun would not shine for a third of the day. Therefore, time will be shortened and our days around the world will be experienced differently. After the Berlin Wall fell in 1989, a “new world order” with a new age of globalization began to develop. President Ronald Reagan challenged Mikhail Gorbachev to “tear down this wall!” and 29 months later the fourth trumpet sounded.
After the 1st 4 Trumpets a Warning Come from a Angel Flying over the Earth !
Rev 8:13 And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, Woe, Woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!
The 5th Trumpet, a Super Volcano eruption.
Rev 8:13 And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!
The 5th Trumpet Happens during the Great Tribulation just before the Wrath of God is Poured Out, Months after the 666 Mark of the Beast was Implemented!
Rev 9:1-6 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.
And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.
And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.
And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
What Will Happen During the 5th Trumpet?
A Super Volcano will erupt and will affect the Earth for 5 Months. The Result of the Lava and Ash from this Super Volcano will birth insects that will sting, the Bearers of the Mark of the Beast and sores all over their Bodies will appear. Sores with amerce pain and no remedy!
What Happens at the 5th Trumpet – The eruption of the Super Volcano Ring of Fire and Yellowstone
One year after the Jewish Messiah Taken over the 3rd Jewish Temple and become the Antichrist and implemented the Mark of the Beast 666, the 5th Trumpet sounds, all around the Ring of Fire several active volcanoes erupt and new volcanoes form and erupt. the full ring of fire outlining areas is affected, New Zealand, Australia, China, Japan, North and South Americas western shores. mostly concentrated around Babylon (Republic of California).
Major Earthquakes precedes the Eruptions and places like the St Andrea’s Walt breaks of from Mainland America. The Republic of California burns and final sink into the ocean. Yellowstone Erupts with the rest of Volcanoes around the Ring of Fire killing millions and leave millions homeless. God takes care of Mystery Babylon!
When will this Happen?
As previous stated: One year after the Jewish Messiah Taken over the 3rd Jewish Temple and become the Antichrist and implemented the Mark of the Beast 666, the 5th Trumpet sounds.
What Happens Prior to this?
Children of God that did not take the Mark of the Beast will be Marked with the Seal of God for Protection and Go into Angel protection before the sounding of the 5th Trumpet
During the 1st Year after the 666 Mark of the Beast was implemented, just before the Wrath of God starts as recorded in Rev 16.
Rev 7:2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
Rev 7:3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
The 5th Trumpet will Announce the Wrath of God against the Bearers of the Mark of Beast , The 666.
What Happens after this?
2 and a Half years of Wrath of God gets poured out over the Earth starting with the 1st Plaque and continues to the 7th Plaque when the 2nd coming of Jesus, the Rapture thereafter and the Battle of Armageddon takes place. Rev 16:2 And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.
What tells me this still have to take place and it will happen during the Great Tribulation?
According to Rev 9
Rev 9:4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
When The Church Becomes A Show: The Tragic Theatrics Of Modern Evangelism
In a desperate bid to be “relevant,” many modern churches have swapped the sacred for the sensational. The pulpit has become a platform. The sanctuary, a stage. The gospel, reduced to glitter. Once holy ground is now littered with fog machines, pop music, and movie scripts. And it’s not just a fringe trend-it’s becoming the defining flavor of much of American evangelicalism.
Gog and Magog Update
WATCH: ‘Death to America means death to Trump,’ says IRGC
In a pointed message, the IRGC released a video accusing the United States of numerous war crimes—past and present—claiming these actions justify the chant ‘Death to America,’ which they clarified refers specifically to U.S. officials, leaders, and Trump himself.

Gog and Magog do Military Training Together
Iran and Russia conduct war drills ‘in order to send a message to the United States or Israel ??? ,’ Iranian media report
Iran and Russia conducted three days of joint war drills in the Caspian Sea this week “in order to send a message to the United States” in the wake of its strikes on Tehran’s top nuclear sites, Iranian state-run media reported.
The three-day exercises—codenamed “CASAREX 2025” and held under the slogan “Together for a Safe and Secure Caspian Sea”—included the Iranian Navy, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy, the Islamic Republic’s Law Enforcement Command, and the Russian Federation’s navy.
“The naval drills send a message on cooperation between Iranian and Russian armed forces to the United States weeks after it joined Israel in attacking Iranian nuclear sites,” Mehr News reported, noting that “Iran has sought to bolster its military capabilities following the U.S.-Israeli 12-day aggression.”
