@SetApartFarmer The folks I meet with on Shabbat have one. I will inquire as to what brand it is. From my understanding, it is going to be rather laborious irregardless of the brand you use. But, I understand the necessity of getting one now to prepare for the future.
LET ME END THE DEBATE ☝️🛸👽
Christians, stop saying “aliens are demons,” because that’s a shallow, flattened view that isn’t entirely untrue, but certainly falls well short of the Biblical account!
“Aliens” as intelligent biological beings that appeared on some other planet via evolution 🚫
Clearly we can reject this definition
But, what’s has emerged into the mainstream is…
“Aliens” as intelligent inter-dimensional beings whose origins are mostly an unseen spiritual realm who can manifest in our domain physically ✅
Much closer to the biblical account
Another phrase/acronym being used is “non-human intelligences” of NHI’s
The thing is, there are MANY beings and entities in the Bible that could be categorized as NHI’s
HERE IS A LIST OF NHI’s IN THE HOLY WORD OF GOD:
God (Yes, Jesus is human, but Yahweh and the Holy Spirit are parts of the trinity that are not human)
Loyal Divine Beings
* Sons of God (divine council)
* Holy Ones (divine council)
* Cherubim
* Seraphim
* Ophanim
* Angels/Messengers
* Watchers (Daniel)
* Angel of Yahweh
Rebellious Divine Beings
* Satan
* Fallen sons of God
* Demons/unclean spirits
* Principalities/powers
* Rebel Watchers
* Abaddon/Apollyon
Hybrid/Dead/Underworld
* Nephilim
* Rephaim
* Shades/spirits of dead
Cosmic Chaos Creatures
* Leviathan
* Behemoth
* Rahab
As you can see, the Bible includes many entities that are NOT human, yet very much intelligent, like or beyond humans!
So WHO ARE THE ALIENS about to be referenced by the Disclosure?
The debate will persist, but do not simply flatten the argument to “demons” because while the phenomenon of many abductions or encounters can be demonic, a demon itself is a very specific entity. And while some of it may very well specifically be demons, there are plenty of other entities that it can be from the Biblical account
Then there’s the possibility that in contemporary terms, the entities are modern engineered humanoids, either synthetic or directly altered from humans. While it sounds fantastic, the Bible also refers to such entities as abominations to God’s created order.
If you’re new to this topic, study up! Because you don’t have any excuses for not being well versed in the topic!
Stay watchful ✝️
I heard a pastor say something that jolted me
Every time Jesus speaks to demons, they obey instantly. Zero resistance.
But when Jesus speaks to us, thru scripture, His Spirit, conviction …we pause, wrestle, delay.
Why are we slower to obey than even the things that hate Him?
When Jesus said “…I will give you rest, take my yoke upon you…” He wasn’t offering REST.
Many of us read Matthew 11:28-30 and interpret it as Jesus offering a divine yoke of rest. We hear, “Drop everything. I’ll carry your burden.” Almost every exhausted person who has read that verse has likely breathed deeply and thought, “Yes, finally rest. Stop.”
But they still wonder why life feels so heavy, even in Christ. After struggling alone so long, freedom seems distant. The load starts to feel like just the way life is.
See, we have misunderstood what Jesus was saying in Matthew 11. Jesus was offering something far better than “rest.”
In the first century, a yoke was a carved wooden device fitted across the necks of two animals working the same field. It was never meant for one.
A farmer would not yoke animals of equal strength. Instead, he paired a younger, weaker animal with a stronger, experienced one. The stronger set the pace, absorbed resistance, and carried the heavier load. The younger still worked, but not alone. That difference is everything.
This is what Jesus was offering. He wasn’t offering to remove the furrow, but put His neck beside yours in the yoke. The load crushes you not because it’s too heavy, you try to carry what needs two with the strength of one.
That’s why Jesus said, “My yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” The work doesn’t vanish. When the strongest being is yoked beside you, He absorbs resistance, sets the pace, and pulls beyond your strength. You carry only what you were made to bear. The rest is theirs.
Consider what that means for the thing you carry now. The thing that wakes you at 3am. The thing you manage alone; the thing you insist you're fine about; the thing that is so exhausting, you wonder if this will simply be your life from now on.
You weren’t built to pull that alone, and you don’t have to.
Jesus Christ isn’t distant, watching you struggle. He’s beside you, yoke open, saying, “Put your neck here.” I’ve been here the whole time. I know how heavy it is and what it’s done to you. I’m not asking you to put it down. I’m asking you to stop carrying it alone.
The rest Jesus promised isn’t on the other side of the field. It’s available in the middle of it, the moment you stop pulling alone.
You were never meant to carry this without him. The weight was always designed for two.
Today, take a step; Jesus is asking to help carry your burden. Stop carrying this alone, invite Him into your life and let Him share your load today. Make this choice now.
Are you ready to allow Jesus to put His neck beside yours?

People often apply Paul’s “tentmaking” (Acts 18:3) to missionary work, which is a fine thing to do. But something far bigger is happening here.
Yes, Paul was literally a tentmaker. Yet his occupation carries rich theological overtones. For just as Jesus deliberately chose fishermen (Matt. 4:18) to become fishers of men (Matt. 4:19), the Lord does something similar with the apostle Paul:
Ad fontes: The Greek word for “tentmaker,” skēnopoios (σκηνοποιός), is a compound: it joins the verb poieō (ποιέω, “to make”) with the noun skēnē (σκηνή).
In the NT that second word is sometimes rendered “tent” (Heb. 11:9) or “dwelling” (Luke 16:9), but it is far more commonly translated “tabernacle” (Acts 7:43–44; 15:16; Heb. 8:2, 5; Rev. 21:3). Similarly, in the Septuagint (LXX)—the Greek translation of the OT—the same term repeatedly refers to the tabernacle itself (Ex. 25:9; 26:1, 6–7, 9, 12–18, 22–27; 27:9, etc.) and/or the “tent of meeting” (Ex. 27:21; 28:43; 29:4, 10–11, etc.).
Even the permanent temple that later replaced the tabernacle is poetically called a “tent” in the Psalms (Ps. 27:4–5; Ps. 41:5 LXX [cf. Ps. 42:4 MT]). And in Amos 9:11—which James applies to Paul’s Gentile missionary activity in Acts 15:16—the word skēnē (σκηνή) refers to the restored lineage or dynasty of David, pointing to the fulfillment of God’s promise in 2 Samuel 7:12–13: “I will raise up your offspring after you… and he shall build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.”
Still with me? Now recall Jesus’ earthly trade. He was, quite famously, a tektōn (τέκτων)—a “carpenter” (Matt. 13:55; Mark 6:3). It’s not a bad translation, but it doesn’t capture the fullness of that term’s use in the OT. Again, in the LXX, the same Greek word is used of the craftsmen who built, and later repaired, the temple (2 Sam. 5:11; 1 Kgs. 7:14; 2 Kgs. 12:11–12; 22:5–6; 1 Chron. 22:15; Ezra 3:6–7). That’s quite a different image than a cabinetmaker.
In other words, Jesus Christ, the Son of David (Luke 1:39; Rom. 1:5), is the one who took on flesh and “tabernacled” among us (John 1:14). As the master tektōn, he came to build the true house of God—which is his body (John 2:19–21), and, by extension, the people who are joined to him by faith (1 Cor. 3:16–17; Eph. 2:21). With that great work complete, the apostle Paul is commissioned to start living, tabernacle-like outposts of the Lord’s temple (i.e., the church) in every corner of the world.
So, yes, Paul literally sewed canvas and stretched leather. But in the providence of God, his earthly occupation was a symbol of his heavenly mission: to raise portable sanctuaries where the presence of God would dwell among the nations.
@SetApartFarmer The LORD used you guys to confirm His will for me concerning a bride. We'll be 3 years in July. I can't wait until she finally gets here!!!
@SetApartFarmer Yes ma'am. Those are the ones to which I am referring.
I'm not so sure how many more people are going to wake up at this point. There seems to be a famine of the hearing of the Word growing larger every day. Fewer and fewer are those who are finding the narrow Way.
@SetApartFarmer I have a theory that this was done to distract people away from those LEGO diss tracks that were having a lot of circulation by the algorithm over the last several days.
@SetApartFarmer@PatriotTorah The county where I live has only 35,000 and they are probably at least a handful here. There is one a half mile down the road from my house and another one about 2 miles up the road in the other direction!!!
So why isn't there any indication in iOS that my phone is on silent? It's getting annoying now cuz I sometimes put the phone on silent and then forget about it 😭
