Depending upon the Bible translation used, the term “secret place” can appear dozens of times in both Old and New Testaments. Some translations use the word shelter, covering, or dwelling rather than “secret place.” In the Old Testament, the term “secret place” comes from the Hebrew root word cether, which means “to hide or be concealed.” This word is used in Psalm 139:15, “My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place.” Here it speaks of the hidden world of a mother’s womb as a child develops. But this word is also used in Psalm 32:7: “You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance.”
Although a secret place can refer to a physical location, it most often connotes a state of a soul in its relationship with God. Psalm 27:5 says, “For in the day of trouble He will conceal me in His tabernacle; / In the secret place of His tent He will hide me; / He will lift me up on a rock” (NAS). The psalmist is not referring to an actual tabernacle or tent in which he will hide from physical enemies. He is speaking of the state of peace God gives in the midst of trials and attacks.
The idea of a secret place originates with God. Because He is Spirit and His glory is beyond our ability to perceive, we must meet with Him in the secret places of the heart in order to commune with Him. When Moses wanted to see the glory of God, the LORD explained that no man could see God and live (Exodus 33:20). So God allowed Moses to see His glory only from a secret place. In Exodus 33:22 God said, “When my glory passes by, I will put you in a cleft in the rock and cover you with my hand until I have passed by.” Here God gives us a glimpse into what we must do to experience the presence of God. It can only be enjoyed when we enter His secret place.
Psalm 91:1 gives us a good illustration of the value of a secret place: “He that dwells in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty” (KJV). Think of the secret hiding places we enjoyed as children. Imagine being ten years old and finding a secret hiding place under the stairs or in the honeysuckle bushes. You slipped inside, and it felt magical! You felt safe and protected from the world. You imagined that you could live there all the time and no one could find you. Often, you invited your best friend to share it with you, because secret hiding places are better shared with someone you love and trust.
That is the picture the psalmist is painting in Psalm 91. God has a secret hiding place, and He invites each of us to join Him there. Notice that He does not invite us to visit. The promise is to those who “dwell” there. To “dwell” means we live there. It becomes our address. God invites us to pack up and move to His secret place. To do so we must walk away from the clamor and enticements of the world. We must be willing to quiet our hearts before Him and allow Him to investigate those inner recesses we reveal to no one else. Secret places imply honesty and trust. We cannot join God in His secret place unless we are willing to be transparent and honest with Him.
Jesus said in Matthew 6:6, “But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen.” Jesus was not necessarily indicating a physical location, because we can pray anywhere at any time. But to really connect with God, we must enter into the secret place in our own spirits and meet God there. Quiet locations help, and we should seek solitude when we want to spend uninterrupted time with God. It is also helpful to have a designated place we go to spend time with God. Jesus did this while on earth. Although He often prayed in public, He also slipped away from the crowds and even His closest friends to spend time alone with His Father in solitude (Mark 1:35; Luke 4:42). But the secret place that Psalm 91 describes is not a physical location. It is a state of spiritual rest that prevails, regardless of outward circumstances.
There is great benefit from dwelling in “the secret place of the Most High.” When we choose to leave behind the world’s delights in favor of a lifestyle of spiritual devotion, God draws near in new ways (James 4:8). We begin to see our sin the way He does (Isaiah 6:1–5). Time spent in the presence of God reveals our true thoughts and selfish motivations that might otherwise escape unnoticed. From this secret place, the fruit of the Spirit takes root and grows (Galatians 5:22). We start to see our lives from an eternal perspective. Earthly frustrations lose significance.
We do not have to neglect our responsibilities or relationships to dwell in this secret place. The key to moving there is a total surrender to the Holy Spirit and the will of God for our lives. This decision dominates our actions and changes our outlook. As we obey, God meets us in His secret place (see John 14:21). He teaches us and encourages us to remain. Our continual choice to surrender fully to Him results in His continued strength to do so. If our lives are to bear lasting fruit, the power to bear that fruit comes from time spent with Him in the secret place (John 15:4–5; 1 Corinthians 3:14–15; Psalm 92:12–14).
Afhangende van die Bybelvertaling wat gebruik word, kan die term “geheime plek” dosyne kere in beide die Ou en Nuwe Testamente verskyn. Sommige vertalings gebruik die woord skuiling, bedekking of woning eerder as “geheime plek”. In die Ou Testament kom die term “geheime plek” van die Hebreeuse wortelwoord cether, wat beteken “om weg te steek of verborge te wees”. Hierdie woord word gebruik in Psalm 139:15, “My liggaam was nie vir U verborge toe ek in die geheime plek gemaak is nie.” Hier praat dit van die verborge wêreld van ‘n moeder se skoot soos ‘n kind ontwikkel. Maar hierdie woord word ook gebruik in Psalm 32:7: “U is my skuilplek; U sal my teen benoudheid beskerm en my omring met liedere van verlossing.”
Alhoewel ‘n geheime plek na ‘n fisiese plek kan verwys, dui dit meestal op ‘n toestand van ‘n siel in sy verhouding met God. Psalm 27:5 sê: “Want in die dag van benoudheid sal Hy my in sy tabernakel verberg; / In die skuilplek van sy tent sal Hy my verberg; / Hy sal my op ‘n rots verhef” (NAS). Die psalmis verwys nie na ‘n werklike tabernakel of tent waarin hy vir fisiese vyande sal wegkruip nie. Hy praat van die toestand van vrede wat God gee te midde van beproewinge en aanvalle.
Die idee van ‘n geheime plek ontstaan by God. Omdat Hy Gees is en Sy heerlikheid buite ons vermoë is om waar te neem, moet ons Hom in die geheime plekke van die hart ontmoet om met Hom gemeenskap te hê. Toe Moses die heerlikheid van God wou sien, het die HERE verduidelik dat geen mens God kon sien en lewe nie (Eksodus 33:20). God het Moses dus toegelaat om Sy heerlikheid slegs vanuit ‘n geheime plek te sien. In Eksodus 33:22 het God gesê: “Wanneer my heerlikheid verbygaan, sal Ek jou in ‘n skeur in die rots stel en jou met my hand bedek totdat Ek verbygegaan het.” Hier gee God ons ‘n kykie in wat ons moet doen om die teenwoordigheid van God te ervaar. Dit kan slegs geniet word wanneer ons Sy geheime plek binnegaan.
Psalm 91:1 gee ons ‘n goeie illustrasie van die waarde van ‘n geheime plek: “Hy wat in die skuilplek van die Allerhoogste woon, sal vernag in die skaduwee van die Almagtige” (KJV). Dink aan die geheime wegkruipplekke wat ons as kinders geniet het. Stel jou voor jy is tien jaar oud en vind ‘n geheime wegkruipplek onder die trappe of in die kamperfoeliebosse. Jy het ingesluip, en dit het magies gevoel! Jy het veilig en beskermd teen die wêreld gevoel. Jy het jou verbeel dat jy heeltyd daar kon woon en niemand jou kon vind nie. Dikwels het jy jou beste vriend genooi om dit met jou te deel, want geheime wegkruipplekke word beter gedeel met iemand wat jy liefhet en vertrou.
Dit is die prentjie wat die psalmis in Psalm 91 skilder. God het ‘n geheime wegkruipplek, en Hy nooi elkeen van ons om daar by Hom aan te sluit. Let op dat Hy ons nie nooi om te besoek nie. Die belofte is aan diegene wat daar “woon”. Om te “woon” beteken dat ons daar woon. Dit word ons adres. God nooi ons om op te pak en na Sy geheime plek te trek. Om dit te doen, moet ons wegstap van die geraas en verleidings van die wêreld. Ons moet bereid wees om ons harte voor Hom stil te maak en Hom toe te laat om daardie innerlike hoeke te ondersoek wat ons aan niemand anders openbaar nie. Geheime plekke impliseer eerlikheid en vertroue. Ons kan nie by God in Sy geheime plek aansluit tensy ons bereid is om deursigtig en eerlik met Hom te wees nie.
Jesus het in Matteus 6:6 gesê: “Maar wanneer julle bid, gaan in julle kamer in, maak die deur toe en bid tot julle Vader wat in die verborgene is.” Jesus het nie noodwendig ‘n fisiese plek aangedui nie, want ons kan enige plek en enige tyd bid. Maar om werklik met God te verbind, moet ons die geheime plek in ons eie gees binnegaan en God daar ontmoet. Stil plekke help, en ons moet eensaamheid soek wanneer ons ononderbroke tyd saam met God wil deurbring. Dit is ook nuttig om ‘n aangewese plek te hê waarheen ons gaan om tyd saam met God deur te bring. Jesus het dit gedoen terwyl Hy op aarde was. Alhoewel Hy dikwels in die openbaar gebid het, het Hy ook weggeglip van die skares en selfs Sy naaste vriende om tyd alleen saam met Sy Vader in eensaamheid deur te bring (Markus 1:35; Lukas 4:42). Maar die geheime plek wat Psalm 91 beskryf, is nie ‘n fisiese plek nie. Dit is ‘n toestand van geestelike rus wat heers, ongeag uiterlike omstandighede.
Daar is groot voordeel daaruit om in “die skuilplek van die Allerhoogste” te woon. Wanneer ons kies om die wêreld se vreugdes agter te laat ten gunste van ‘n leefstyl van geestelike toewyding, kom God op nuwe maniere nader (Jakobus 4:8). Ons begin ons sonde sien soos Hy dit sien (Jesaja 6:1–5). Tyd wat in die teenwoordigheid van God deurgebring word, openbaar ons ware gedagtes en selfsugtige motiewe wat andersins ongemerk sou kon ontsnap. Vanuit hierdie skuilplek skiet die vrug van die Gees wortel en groei (Galasiërs 5:22). Ons begin ons lewens vanuit ‘n ewige perspektief sien. Aardse frustrasies verloor betekenis.
Ons hoef nie ons verantwoordelikhede of verhoudings te verwaarloos om in hierdie geheime plek te woon nie. Die sleutel om daarheen te beweeg, is ‘n totale oorgawe aan die Heilige Gees en die wil van God vir ons lewens. Hierdie besluit oorheers ons optrede en verander ons uitkyk. Soos ons gehoorsaam is, ontmoet God ons in Sy geheime plek (sien Johannes 14:21). Hy leer ons en moedig ons aan om te bly. Ons voortdurende keuse om ons ten volle aan Hom oor te gee, lei tot Sy volgehoue krag om dit te doen. As ons lewens blywende vrugte moet dra, kom die krag om daardie vrugte te dra van tyd wat ons saam met Hom in die geheime plek deurbring (Johannes 15:4–5; 1 Korintiërs 3:14–15; Psalm 92:12–14).
Bible Verse and Prayer for Today
1 John 3:22, “And whatever we ask we receive of him, because we keep his commandments and do those things that are pleasing in his sight”.
This verse emphasizes that asking in prayer is effective when done with a desire to obey God’s will and live a life that pleases Him.
Lord . Please Help is to Seek Your Kingdom before we seek Material Things . Let our Entrance into the Secret Place we Holy . we Pray in Jesus name . Amen and Amen
Bybel Vers en Gebed vir Vandag
1 Johannes 3:22, “En wat ons ook al bid, ontvang ons van Hom, omdat ons sy gebooie bewaar en doen wat welgevallig is voor Hom.”
Hierdie vers beklemtoon dat gebed effektief is wanneer dit gedoen word met ‘n begeerte om God se wil te gehoorsaam en ‘n lewe te lei wat Hom behaag.
Here. Help asseblief, is om u Koninkryk te soek voordat ons materiële dinge soek. Laat ons ingang in die geheime plek heilig word. Ons bid in Jesus se naam. Amen en Amen.
Bible Teaching of the Day
In Matthew 6, Jesus contrasts those who pray in public to gain the admiration of people around them with instructions for His disciples to pray in the inner-most area of their homes—as far away from the public as possible.
He said, “And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you” (Matthew 6:5–6).
The word “room” here is the Greek tameion meaning an inner storage chamber, or secret room. Jesus was communicating that prayer is about God, not about the watching world. Rather than pray boisterously in the most public way possible so as to garner respect or appear righteous before others, we are to pray with our hearts set on God. Prayer is communing with Him, not performing for others.
Some Christians have taken Jesus’ admonition literally and set aside a room, or even a closet, dedicated to prayer. Most Christians who want to follow this instruction simply identify a specific, quiet place in which to pray regularly. For some it is a certain chair or a place at a desk or the kitchen table. For others, it is their car during their commute to work each day or a place on the porch or in the woods. Famously, for John Wesley’s mother Susanna, it was under her apron which she upturned over her head for solitude even with several children vying for her attention.
Having a quiet, regular place to pray can help us to focus and concentrate on prayer. Many also use their “prayer closet” for Bible study. God speaks to us through His Word; studying the Bible goes hand-in-hand with praying. Jesus Himself often retreated to quiet places to pray, many times on a hillside.
Jesus’ instruction is less about where you pray and more about the mistake of drawing attention to our piety or self-righteousness as we pray. He preaches about praying, giving, and serving as a response to God’s goodness to us, rather than a way to show others our own goodness. The concept of a “prayer closet” is simply to remember that prayer is about fellowship with God. A “prayer closet” can be anywhere we are free to experience uninterrupted intimacy with God.
Bybel Lering vir die Dag
In Matteus 6 kontrasteer Jesus diegene wat in die openbaar bid om die bewondering van mense rondom hulle te wen met instruksies vir Sy dissipels om in die binneste area van hul huise te bid – so ver as moontlik van die publiek af.
Hy het gesê: “En wanneer julle bid, moet julle nie soos die skynheiliges wees nie. Want hulle hou daarvan om in die sinagoges en op die straathoeke te staan en bid, sodat hulle deur die mense gesien kan word. Voorwaar Ek sê vir julle, hulle het hul loon ontvang. Maar wanneer jy bid, gaan in jou kamer in, maak die deur toe en bid tot jou Vader wat in die verborgene is. En jou Vader wat in die verborgene sien, sal jou beloon” (Matteus 6:5–6).
Die woord “kamer” hier is die Griekse tameion wat ‘n innerlike stoorkamer of geheime kamer beteken. Jesus het gekommunikeer dat gebed oor God gaan, nie oor die wêreld wat toekyk nie. Eerder as om luidrugtig op die mees openbare manier moontlik te bid om respek te verkry of regverdig voor ander te voorkom, moet ons bid met ons harte op God gerig. Gebed is om met Hom te kommunikeer, nie om vir ander te doen nie.
Sommige Christene het Jesus se vermaning letterlik opgeneem en ‘n kamer, of selfs ‘n kas, opsy gesit wat aan gebed toegewy is. Die meeste Christene wat hierdie instruksie wil volg, identifiseer eenvoudig ‘n spesifieke, stil plek om gereeld te bid. Vir sommige is dit ‘n sekere stoel of ‘n plek by ‘n lessenaar of die kombuistafel. Vir ander is dit hul motor tydens hul pendel na werk elke dag of ‘n plek op die stoep of in die bos. Dit is bekend dat John Wesley se moeder, Susanna, dit onder haar voorskoot was wat sy oor haar kop gedraai het vir eensaamheid, selfs met verskeie kinders wat om haar aandag meegeding het.
Om ‘n stil, gereelde plek te hê om te bid, kan ons help om te fokus en op gebed te konsentreer. Baie gebruik ook hul “gebedskamer” vir Bybelstudie. God praat met ons deur Sy Woord; die bestudering van die Bybel gaan hand aan hand met gebed. Jesus self het dikwels na stil plekke teruggetrek om te bid, baie keer op ‘n heuwelhang.
Jesus se instruksie gaan minder oor waar jy bid en meer oor die fout om aandag te vestig op ons vroomheid of selfgeregtigheid terwyl ons bid. Hy preek oor gebed, gee en dien as ‘n reaksie op God se goedheid teenoor ons, eerder as ‘n manier om ander ons eie goedheid te wys. Die konsep van ‘n “gebedskamer” is eenvoudig om te onthou dat gebed oor gemeenskap met God gaan. ‘n “Gebedskamer” kan enige plek wees waar ons vry is om ononderbroke intimiteit met God te ervaar.
Today’s Devotional
Adam and Eve had intimate fellowship in the presence of God before the fall (Genesis 3:8). Since that time, sin has prevented our ability to be in the physical presence of God (Exodus 33:20). Now only the holy, sinless angels are in the physical presence of God (Luke 1:19). But Christians have the presence of God within us by virtue of His indwelling Holy Spirit (John 14:23; 15:4), and that indwelling presence comes only through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
We are aware of the reality of this presence from our obedience to His Word. “We are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praise of Him who called you out of darkness into His wonderful light” (1 Peter 2:9). Note that Peter says that “we are chosen people . . . belonging to God.” If we belong to Him, will He not be present among us? We never lose the reality of God’s presence, no matter how badly we fail; we never sin so much as to lose our salvation; we never sink so far as to banish the Holy Spirit. We can anger God because of our sin, but true believers never lose the presence of the Holy Spirit. While we will never lose the reality of God’s presence, we might lose the “sense” of His presence.
Every child of God invariably goes through this feeling of losing God’s presence from time to time, like a landlord who has left his house and gone away on business for a while. He has not left the house completely empty, for, if he had, he would have taken all his belongings with him. But because he has left all his furniture and belongings in that house, does it not mean that he will return once again? Any believer knows that there are times of spiritual leanness when perhaps the Lord determines to test our faith. Does He not push us through the winnowing flames of affliction that we might be all the more pure (Job 23:10; 1 Peter 1:7)?
But the practical result of being in God’s presence is joy! Many Christians seem gloomy and dejected because they lack this sense of God’s presence. The fellowship is sweet for those who walk with the Lord in obedience and faith. But the sweet fellowship that comes from obedience and trust in the Lord is not a passing feeling. It sustains us, especially during trials, for “the joy of the Lord shall be your strength” (Nehemiah 8:10). James, the Lord’s brother, writes, “Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds” (James 1:2) because trials produce faith and develop perseverance. When we persevere through trials, proving to ourselves and to others that our faith is real, our sense of God’s presence increases, as does our joy.
David speaks of a joy that only the righteous can know (Psalm 16:11)—a joy that is but a foretaste of a far greater and everlasting joy when we see the Lord’s face in the glory to come.
Vandag se Bemoediging
Adam en Eva het intieme gemeenskap in die teenwoordigheid van God gehad voor die sondeval (Genesis 3:8). Sedertdien het sonde ons vermoë verhinder om in die fisiese teenwoordigheid van God te wees (Eksodus 33:20). Nou is slegs die heilige, sondelose engele in die fisiese teenwoordigheid van God (Lukas 1:19). Maar Christene het die teenwoordigheid van God in ons op grond van Sy inwonende Heilige Gees (Johannes 14:23; 15:4), en daardie inwonende teenwoordigheid kom slegs deur geloof in die Here Jesus Christus.
Ons is bewus van die werklikheid van hierdie teenwoordigheid vanuit ons gehoorsaamheid aan Sy Woord. “Ons is ‘n uitverkore volk, ‘n koninklike priesterdom, ‘n heilige volk, ‘n volk wat aan God behoort, sodat julle die lof kan verkondig van Hom wat julle uit die duisternis geroep het tot sy wonderbare lig” (1 Petrus 2:9). Let daarop dat Petrus sê dat ons “uitverkore volk is … wat aan God behoort.” As ons aan Hom behoort, sal Hy nie onder ons teenwoordig wees nie? Ons verloor nooit die werklikheid van God se teenwoordigheid nie, maak nie saak hoe erg ons faal nie; Ons sondig nooit soveel dat ons ons redding verloor nie; ons sink nooit so diep dat ons die Heilige Gees verban nie. Ons kan God kwaad maak as gevolg van ons sonde, maar ware gelowiges verloor nooit die teenwoordigheid van die Heilige Gees nie. Terwyl ons nooit die werklikheid van God se teenwoordigheid sal verloor nie, kan ons die “sin” van Sy teenwoordigheid verloor.
Elke kind van God gaan altyd van tyd tot tyd deur hierdie gevoel van verlies aan God se teenwoordigheid, soos ‘n huiseienaar wat sy huis verlaat het en vir ‘n rukkie weg is vir besigheid. Hy het nie die huis heeltemal leeg gelaat nie, want as hy dit gedoen het, sou hy al sy besittings saamgeneem het. Maar omdat hy al sy meubels en besittings in daardie huis gelaat het, beteken dit nie dat hy weer sal terugkeer nie? Enige gelowige weet dat daar tye van geestelike maerheid is wanneer die Here dalk besluit om ons geloof te toets. Stoot Hy ons nie deur die wan-vlamme van lyding sodat ons des te reinder kan wees nie (Job 23:10; 1 Petrus 1:7)?
Maar die praktiese gevolg daarvan om in God se teenwoordigheid te wees, is vreugde! Baie Christene lyk somber en neerslagtig omdat hulle nie hierdie gevoel van God se teenwoordigheid het nie. Die gemeenskap is soet vir diegene wat in gehoorsaamheid en geloof met die Here wandel. Maar die soete gemeenskap wat uit gehoorsaamheid en vertroue in die Here kom, is nie ‘n verbygaande gevoel nie. Dit onderhou ons, veral tydens beproewinge, want “die vreugde van die Here sal julle beskutting wees” (Nehemia 8:10). Jakobus, die Here se broer, skryf: “Ag dit louter vreugde, my broers, wanneer julle allerhande beproewinge teëkom” (Jakobus 1:2) want beproewinge produseer geloof en ontwikkel volharding. Wanneer ons deur beproewinge volhard en aan onsself en aan ander bewys dat ons geloof eg is, neem ons gevoel van God se teenwoordigheid toe, asook ons vreugde.
Dawid praat van ‘n vreugde wat slegs die regverdiges kan ken (Psalm 16:11) – ‘n vreugde wat maar ‘n voorsmakie is van ‘n veel groter en ewige vreugde wanneer ons die Here se aangesig in die heerlikheid wat kom, sien.

Getrou Tot Die Einde:
Baie van ons kan die uitputting van ń vermoeide atleet verstaan, wanneer ons die wedloop van die Christelike geloof aflê. Die boek Hebreërs moedig ons aan om op Christus te fokus en die wedloop wat vir ons voorlê, met volharding te hardloop (12:1). Om met volharding te hardloop, vereis dat ons die sonde wat in ons pad staan moet aflê. Ons moet miskien selfs deur vervolging en beproewing volhardend voortgaan ( 2 Tim 3:12 ).
Om uitputting en geestelike moedeloosheid in die siel te verhinder ( Heb 12:3 ) moedig die Bybel ons aan om die oë op Jesus te hou. Indien ons meer op Hom fokus as op ons probleme, sal ons ontdek dat Hy langs ons draf – ons ondersteun wanneer ons struikel ( 2 Kor 12:19). en ons bemoedig deur sy voorbeeld ( 1 Pet 2:21-24 ).
Deur die oog gevestig op Jesus, die begin en voleinder van die geloof te hou (Heb 12:2 ) sal dit ons help om getrou te bly en die wedloop te voleindig.
Ons kan sterk eindig indien ons op Jesus fokus.
Faithful to the End:
Many of us can understand the exhaustion of a weary athlete as we run the race of the Christian faith. The book of Hebrews encourages us to focus on Christ and run with endurance the race that is set before us (12:1). Running with endurance requires that we put off the sin that stands in our way. We may even have to persevere through persecution and trials (2 Tim. 3:12).
To prevent weariness and spiritual discouragement in the soul (Heb. 12:3), the Bible encourages us to keep our eyes on Jesus. If we focus on Him more than on our problems, we will find that He runs alongside us—supporting us when we stumble (2 Cor. 12:19), and encouraging us by His example (1 Pet. 2:21-24).
Keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith (Heb 12:2), will help us to remain faithful and finish the race.
We can finish strong if we focus on Jesus.

Introducing The Doctrine of Demons called Christian Zionism to the World.
Inviting Christians to Join in Prayer at the Prayer Place of the Jews (Zionists)
THE INVITE READS
Temple Mount Prayer in Memory of Charlie Kirk
All are encouraged to join in the ‘Prayer for Peace and Tolerance’ at Judaism’s holiest site or via live stream on Wednesday.
PASTOR DIRK SAYS
This is a Brilliant Plan by the Christian Zionist Movement to Introduce their Dual Covenant Doctrine to the World ‘s Evangelistic and Fundamentalist Christians.
This is the Main Reason for the 2 Witnesses at the Entrance of the soon to be Build 3rd Jewish Temple
What will the 2 Witnesses Say?
The main reason for the Two Witnesses standing before the 3rd Jewish Temple is!
Not only to say too the Jews, that the Holy of Holy’s is no longer occupied by God’s Holy Spirit, but to warn Christians that will use the Temple to bring sacrifices , the main reason is that a large amount of Christians will become part of the Jewish Traditions of bringing daily sacrifices for their sins.
Yes, there are Christians who will use the Temple for sacrifices to God just as the Jews are going to do. With this action they spit in the face of Jesus Christ. To reject Him, betray Him to return to the Old Testament faith of the first covenant,
There are already loads of Christians who follow and still follow the Jewish festivals and bring Jewish traditions into Christianity and Churches.
Yes, there will be born again, baptized in water Christians who will bring animal sacrifices to the 3rd Jewish temple once it has been built and unveiled. just as they are currently standing at the wailing wall in Jerusalem and praying.
The only Christians who will not be involved in the terrible abomination are Spirit-filled Children of God.
A Christian who is part of the daily sacrifices in the 3rd Jewish Temple is a terrible abomination in God and Jesus’s eyes,
Rev 11:1 ~ 19 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.
But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.
And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.
And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.
And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.
And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.
And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.
The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.
And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,
Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.
And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.
Will Australia Become The Next Europe? Islamic Immigration Changing The Nation
Over the past decade, Australia has changed in ways that few could have predicted. Once seen as one of the most relaxed, easygoing democracies in the West, the country is now grappling with a growing culture clash brought on by mass immigration, the rise of Islam as a visible force in public life, and the explosive importation of Middle Eastern conflicts onto Australian soil. What is happening in Sydney, Melbourne, and other major cities is not just about protests and politics — it is about what kind of nation Australia will be in the years to come.
For generations, Australia was anchored by broadly Christian traditions, Western liberal values, and a strong sense of national unity. But those anchors are loosening. Churches are emptying while mosques are expanding. National symbols such as the Sydney Opera House and the Harbour Bridge have been transformed into backdrops for massive pro-Palestinian rallies, some of which have openly celebrated groups like Hamas. The images shocked the world: tens of thousands of demonstrators chanting against Israel, with some voices turning those chants into something far darker — into raw antisemitism.
Why does this matter? Because Australia is more than a place on the map. It has been a Western democracy that prided itself on freedom of speech, the rule of law, and respect for all religions. But today those ideals are under severe pressure. Many of the immigrants arriving from the Middle East bring with them deep grievances, especially against Israel. While not all share extremist views, enough do that the ripple effects are felt across the nation. What starts as a foreign conflict quickly morphs into an Australian cultural crisis.
The government, led by Anthony Albanese’s Labor Party, insists it is managing these tensions through policies of “social cohesion.” Ministers talk about Islamophobia as though it is the greatest threat facing the nation, while appearing reluctant to name the surge in antisemitic hatred that is increasingly spilling into the streets. For Jewish Australians — many of whom thought this country offered a safe haven far removed from the wars of the Middle East — the sense of betrayal is palpable. Synagogues need police protection, Jewish schools face harassment, and Jewish businesses in areas like Bondi have been targeted. This isn’t the Australia they once knew.
The real tragedy is that the government’s approach is built on denial. Denial that some of those being welcomed into the country do not share — and in fact openly reject — the very values that made Australia free and prosperous. Denial that importing thousands of people from radicalized regions comes with risks. Denial that antisemitism, once seen as a fringe problem, is now marching proudly through the streets.
What we are seeing is the slow erosion of Western confidence. Australians are being told that defending their traditions — whether that means supporting Israel, upholding free speech, or demanding loyalty to the nation first — is somehow divisive. But what could be more divisive than a government that permits 100,000 people to march across the Harbour Bridge waving flags in support of a cause tied to terrorism, while condemning much smaller rallies calling for unity around Australian values? The double standard is glaring, and Australians are not blind to it.
The stakes could not be higher. History teaches us that when nations allow ideologies hostile to freedom to take root, those ideologies eventually reshape the culture itself. Europe is already grappling with this reality, with entire neighborhoods effectively governed by Islamist norms rather than democratic laws. The same trajectory is possible in Australia if leaders refuse to act with clarity and courage.
This is not about rejecting immigrants wholesale, nor about stoking hatred against Muslims as a whole. Australia has long thrived by welcoming those who genuinely wish to build a better life under the nation’s democratic framework. But the line must be drawn when newcomers — or their political allies — openly glorify violence, deny the right of Jews to live in peace, or demand that Western freedoms bend to the demands of religious extremism. Integration cannot be optional. Assimilation into the civic values of democracy, equality, and liberty must be non-negotiable.
The coming years will reveal whether Australia has the will to defend itself, not just militarily, but culturally and morally. If the nation continues to drift, pretending that rising Jew-hatred is a minor issue and that “social cohesion” can be manufactured by government slogans, then Australia risks becoming a mirror of Europe’s failures.
Signs of the Times
Chat Control 2.0: The Most Dangerous Digital Law Ever Proposed
Europe is quietly moving toward one of the most dangerous digital laws ever proposed. It’s called Chat Control 2.0, and if it passes, it won’t just target criminals–it will target everyone. Every message, every photo, every email you send could be scanned by government mandate, even when you’ve done absolutely nothing wrong.
The proposal sounds noble on paper: stop the spread of child abuse material online. Who wouldn’t want that? But here’s the catch: to accomplish this goal, the European Union wants to force messaging apps, email providers, cloud services, and even encrypted platforms like WhatsApp and Signal to scan all of your private conversations automatically. That means no message is too personal, no photo too private, no email too confidential.
It’s the digital equivalent of forcing the post office to open every single letter before it’s delivered.
Experts are sounding the alarm
More than 500 top experts in cybersecurity, cryptography, and computer science from 34 countries have issued a warning: this plan is “technically infeasible” and would give governments “unprecedented capabilities for surveillance, control, and censorship.” When the brightest minds in digital security say something is dangerous, it’s time to listen.
These experts aren’t saying child protection isn’t important. They’re saying this law would fail to stop predators while endangering everyone else. Imagine a fire alarm system so faulty it sets off sirens every time you toast bread. That’s what these scanning systems would be like: drowning investigators in false alerts while real criminals slip through the cracks.
What this really means for you
Let’s make it simple. If Chat Control 2.0 passes:
Your private chats won’t be private anymore. Even end-to-end encrypted apps will be forced to build a “back door” so messages can be scanned before you send them.
You could be falsely flagged as a criminal. Algorithms aren’t perfect. A family photo, a joke, or even an innocent conversation could trigger a report and land you under investigation.
Governments could expand surveillance. Once the scanning system exists, why stop at child abuse? It could be used to monitor “hate speech,” “disinformation,” or political dissent. Today it’s about children; tomorrow it could be about silencing critics.
Hackers and hostile states would have new weapons. Weakening encryption means creating vulnerabilities. And once those holes exist, malicious actors will exploit them.
This isn’t just about criminals–it’s about you, your family, your church group, your doctor, your business partners. It’s about every private conversation you thought was safe.
The illusion of safety
Proponents argue that artificial intelligence will sort everything out, magically separating good content from bad. But the experts are blunt: there is no such technology. Machine learning tools misfire constantly. Predators could easily sidestep detection with simple tricks, while ordinary people would be left exposed to constant surveillance.
It’s the worst of both worlds: criminals evade justice, and law-abiding citizens lose their freedom.
The slippery slope we can’t afford
History shows that once governments are given a surveillance tool, they rarely give it back. Anti-terror laws after 9/11 expanded into mass data collection. “Temporary” emergency powers often became permanent. What begins as a fight against one evil morphs into unchecked government control.
Imagine future European leaders deciding that “extremism” includes sharing religious messages, or that “disinformation” includes criticizing the government. With Chat Control, they would already have the infrastructure to scan, censor, and punish.
What starts in Europe doesn’t stay in Europe. The EU often sets the global standard for digital regulation. If Chat Control becomes law there, other governments–some far less democratic–will copy it.
Better ways to protect children
We don’t have to choose between protecting children and protecting freedom. There are alternatives:
Focused investigations based on evidence, not blanket surveillance.
Stronger cross-border cooperation to catch predators.
Increased funding for child protection units.
Public education to prevent grooming and abuse before it happens.
These strategies protect children without treating every citizen like a suspect.

How China Could Bring War With Taiwan To the USA
If China were to attack Taiwan, it may well also bring the fight directly to the U.S.A, with a long roster of potentially catastrophic actions it could inflict against Americans in their homeland including the release of deadly pathogens, igniting wildfires, taking down power grids, and disrupting or poisoning the food supply.
Israel Opens The Gates Of Hell On Gaza, Is This The End Of Qatar’s Jihad?
The IDF has begun moving its forces into the heart of Gaza City in an attempt to finish off Hamas once and for all. Gaza City has always been seen as the terror group’s symbolic and de facto capital. Israel hopes that by leveling the city and end Hamas’s rule over it, Jihadist forces will finally begin to lose the will to continue the fight and promptly surrender.

Comment on Pastor Dirk’s Comment on Social Media
Pastor Dirk placed a comment on Youtube on a Promotion of the New Movie planned and soon to be released called “The Carpenter’s Son | Starring Nicolas Cage, FKA twigs, Noah Jupe & Isla Johnston”
Pastor Dirk’s Comment
Please Note the Truth. Jesus IS the Only Son of God Almighty. He was the Adopted Son of Joseph the Carpenter. Note: That Jesus did not have the Ability to Cast out Demons until the age of 33. He only received this Ability after He’s 2nd Baptism of the Holy Spirit after His Baptism in Water. At His Inception by the Holy Spirit in the womb of Maria, He received 4 of the 7 Spirits of God and this did not give Him the demon repellant “Gift”: Only after His Baptism in Water by John the Baptist he received the Balance of the 7 Spirits of God. These 7 Sprits are Given and Managed by the Holy Spirit of God. and it was not the Ability or Super Power Jesus received or Had. It was the Power of the Holy Spirit that Made Demons Flee. Jesus himself warned against Casting out demons and did not take it as a Super Power. It’s the Power of the Holy Spirit that Makes Demons Flee. This Movie Will Sin against the Holy Spirit and everyone that is Part of this Movie has made the Holy Spirit their Enemy and The Holy Spirit Will Fight the Good Fight against everyone involved on the Behalf of Jesus and God. This movie is nothing else than a Demon Power display and Make Jesus out to be a Demon slayer that He did not Promote in His life on Earth. The Warning is for the Ones involved in this Movie, you made the Holy Spirit your Enemy and for the Christian that watches This Holy Spirit blasphemy movie and they are not Holy Spirit Baptized, you are exposed to Demon Possession – BE WARNED The Next thing from Mystery Babylon = California. May be: Marvel or DC Universe to bring out an Avengers like story, where they Battle Jesus. But this is all Part of the Signs of the Times of thee End Times, The Closer we get to the Omega Point = The 2nd Coming of Jesus. Demons and Evil will become more active and Visible to the Naked eye.
