Calculatedly Random Thoughts

I am reaching out with a sincere heart!!

Hello ,

I am reaching out with a sincere heart and deep trust, hoping you will take a moment to listen to my situation.

My late father left a huge inheritance for me financially along with 42 kilograms of gold, which is currently secured with a security company. This situation has been a heavy burden for me, and I truly seek your help to enable us execute this business transaction successfully. Because i'm a woman the security company has been stressing me to release this inheritance to me. Please i need you as my partner so we can discuss the term better and tell you more in my next email.

The security company is currently winding down and liquidating his all their asset. Upon investigation, I learned that some individuals within OP Financial Group are attempting to redirect these funds for their own gain, given that no claim has been made. To prevent this, I have taken the initiative to search for you so we can write an application to the bank and the security company to make this claim. Its easy for me to locate you because i search through data base.

I cannot handle this alone, which is why I am in need of a trustworthy partner to walk this path with me. I have all the legal documents in my custody, even the certificate of deposit because my dad handed me all the document before he died two years ago, so everything concerning this matter is genuine and in order.

If you are willing to stand by me, kindly write to me, so I can share more details with you.

With trust and warm regards,
Victoria Freeman

Hey

2023-04-28T03:58:00.001-05:00

Regardless if you believe in God or not, read this message!!!

Throughout history, we can see how we have been slowly conditioned to come to this point where we are on the verge of a cashless society. Did you know that the Bible foretold of this event almost 2,000 years ago?

In the book of Revelation 13:16-18, we read,

"He (the false prophet who deceives many by his miracles--Revelation 19:20) causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666."

Referring to the last generation, this could only be speaking of a cashless society. Why? Revelation 13:17 tells us that we cannot buy or sell unless we receive the mark of the beast. If physical money was still in use, we could buy or sell with one another without receiving the mark. This would contradict scripture that states we need the mark to buy or sell!

These verses could not be referring to something purely spiritual as scripture references two physical locations (our right hand or forehead) stating the mark will be on one "OR" the other. If this mark was purely spiritual, it would indicate both places, not one OR the other.

This is where it really starts to come together. It is shocking how accurate the Bible is concerning the implantable RFID microchip. These are notes from a man named Carl Sanders who worked with a team of engineers to help develop this RFID chip

"Carl Sanders sat in seventeen New World Order meetings with heads-of-state officials such as Henry Kissinger and Bob Gates of the C.I.A. to discuss plans on how to bring about this one-world system. The government commissioned Carl Sanders to design a microchip for identifying and controlling the peoples of the world—a microchip that could be inserted under the skin with a hypodermic needle (a quick, convenient method that would be gradually accepted by society).

Carl Sanders, with a team of engineers behind him, with U.S. grant monies supplied by tax dollars, took on this project and designed a microchip that is powered by a lithium battery, rechargeable through the temperature changes in our skin. Without the knowledge of the Bible (Brother Sanders was not a Christian at the time), these engineers spent one-and-a-half-million dollars doing research on the best and most convenient place to have the microchip inserted.

Guess what? These researchers found that the forehead and the back of the hand (the two places the Bible says the mark will go) are not just the most convenient places, but are also the only viable places for rapid, consistent temperature changes in the skin to recharge the lithium battery. The microchip is approximately seven millimeters in length, .75 millimeters in diameter, about the size of a grain of rice. It is capable of storing pages upon pages of information about you. All your general history, work history, criminal record, health history, and financial data can be stored on this chip.

Brother Sanders believes that this microchip, which he regretfully helped design, is the "mark" spoken about in Revelation 13:16–18. The original Greek word for "mark" is "charagma," which means a "scratch or etching." It is also interesting to note that the number 666 is actually a word in the original Greek. The word is "chi xi stigma," with the last part, "stigma," also meaning "to stick or prick." Carl believes this is referring to a hypodermic needle when they poke into the skin to inject the microchip."

Mr. Sanders asked a doctor what would happen if the lithium contained within the RFID microchip leaked into the body. The doctor replied by saying a terrible sore would appear in that location. This is what the book of Revelation says:

"And the first (angel) went, and poured out his vial on the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore on the men which had the mark of the beast, and on them which worshipped his image" (Revelation 16:2).

You can read more about it here--and to also understand the mystery behind the number 666: JESUSKNOCKING.US

The third angel's warning in Revelation 14:9-11 states,

"Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, 'If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.'"

Great hope is in our midst, and is coming in a mighty way--the greatest revival for Jesus in the history of the world where we will see the most souls come to Him of all tribes, tongues, nations, and peoples (Rev. 7:9-10); for we have this promise in God's Word in the midst of these dark times:

"Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, having the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. He laid hold of the dragon, that serpent of old, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years (not literal--rather a spiritual label for time spent in eternity); and he cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal on him, so that he should deceive the nations no more till the thousand years were finished. But after these things he must be released for a little while (when the Antichrist and false prophet will rise up and God will test the world)." (Revelation 20:1-3)

"The coming of the lawless one (the Antichrist) is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness." (2 Thessalonians 2:9-12)"

Who is Barack Obama, and why is he still in the public scene?

So what about his name? The meaning of someone's name can say a lot about a person. God throughout history has given names to people that have a specific meaning tied to their lives. How about the name Barack Obama? Let us take a look at what may be hiding beneath the surface.

Jesus says in Luke 10:18, "...I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven."

The Hebrew Strongs word (H1299) for "lightning": "bârâq" (baw-rawk)

In Isaiah chapter 14, verse 14, we read about Lucifer (Satan) saying in his heart:

"I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High."

In the verses in Isaiah that refer directly to Lucifer, several times it mentions him falling from the heights or the heavens. The Hebrew word for the heights or heavens used here is Hebrew Strongs 1116: "bamah"--Pronounced (bam-maw')

In Hebrew, the letter "Waw" or "Vav" is often transliterated as a "U" or "O," and it is primarily used as a conjunction to join concepts together. So to join in Hebrew poetry the concept of lightning (Baraq) and a high place like heaven or the heights of heaven (Bam-Maw), the letter "U" or "O" would be used. So, Baraq "O" Bam-Maw or Baraq "U" Bam-Maw in Hebrew poetry similar to the style written in Isaiah, would translate literally to "Lightning from the heights." The word "Satan" in Hebrew is a direct translation, therefore "Satan."

So when Jesus told His disciples in Luke 10:18 that He beheld Satan fall like lightning from heaven, if this were to be spoken by a Jewish Rabbi today influenced by the poetry in the book of Isaiah, he would say these words in Hebrew--the words of Jesus in Luke 10:18 as, and I saw Satan as Baraq O Bam-Maw.

The names of both of Obama's daughters are Malia and Natasha. If we were to write those names backward (the devil does things in reverse) we would get "ailam ahsatan". Now if we remove the letters that spell "Alah" (Allah being the false god of Islam), we get "I am Satan". Coincidence? I don't think so.

Obama's campaign logo when he ran in 2008 was a sun over the horizon in the west, with the landscape as the flag of the United States. In Islam, they have their own messiah that they are waiting for called the 12th Imam, or the Mahdi (the Antichrist of the Bible), and one prophecy concerning this man's appearance is the sun rising in the west.

"Then I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth—to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people— saying with a loud voice, 'Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water.'" (Revelation 14:6-7)

Why have the words of Jesus in His Gospel accounts regarding His death, burial, and resurrection, been translated into over 3,000 languages, and nothing comes close (the Quran about 110 languages)? Because the same Spirit of God (YHVH) who created all people likewise transcends all people; therefore the power of His Word is not limited by people; while all other religions are man-made, therefore they tend to primarily stay within their own culture. The same God who speaks to all people through His creation of the heavens and earth that draws all people around the world likewise has sent His Word to the ends of the earth so that we may come to personally know Him to be saved in spirit and in truth through His Son Jesus Christ.

Jesus stands alone among the other religions that say to rightly weigh the scales of good and evil and to make sure you have done more good than bad in this life. Is this how we conduct ourselves justly in a court of law? Bearing the image of God, is this how we project this image into reality?

Our good works cannot save us. If we step before a judge, being guilty of a crime, the judge will not judge us by the good we have done, but rather by the crimes we have committed. If we as fallen humanity, created in God's image, pose this type of justice, how much more a perfect, righteous, and Holy God?

God has brought down His moral laws through the 10 commandments given to Moses at Mt. Siani. These laws were not given so we may be justified, but rather that we may see the need for a savior. They are the mirror of God's character of what He has written in our hearts, with our conscious bearing witness that we know that it is wrong to steal, lie, dishonor our parents, murder, and so forth.

We can try and follow the moral laws of the 10 commandments, but we will never catch up to them to be justified before a Holy God. That same word of the law given to Moses became flesh about 2,000 years ago in the body of Jesus Christ. He came to be our justification by fulfilling the law, living a sinless perfect life that only God could fulfill.

The gap between us and the law can never be reconciled by our own merit, but the arm of Jesus is stretched out by the grace and mercy of God. And if we are to grab on, through faith in Him, He will pull us up being the one to justify us. As in the court of law, if someone steps in and pays our fine, even though we are guilty, the judge can do what is legal and just and let us go free. That is what Jesus did almost 2,000 years ago on the cross. It was a legal transaction being fulfilled in the spiritual realm by the shedding of His blood with His last word's on the cross crying out, "It is finished!" (John 19:30).

For God takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked (Ezekiel 18:23). This is why in Isaiah chapter 53, where it speaks of the coming Messiah and His soul being a sacrifice for our sins, why it says it pleased God to crush His only begotten Son.

This is because the wrath that we deserve was justified by being poured out upon His Son. If that wrath was poured out on us, we would all perish to hell forever. God created a way of escape by pouring it out on His Son whose soul could not be left in Hades but was raised and seated at the right hand of God in power.

So now when we put on the Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 13:14), where God no longer sees the person who deserves His wrath, but rather the glorious image of His perfect Son dwelling in us, justifying us as if we received the wrath we deserve, making a way of escape from the curse of death; now being conformed into the image of the heavenly man walking in a new nature, and no longer in the image of the fallen man Adam.

Now what we must do is repent and put our trust and faith in the savior, confessing and forsaking our sins, and to receive His Holy Spirit that we may be born again (for Jesus says we must be born again to see and enter the Kingdom of God in John chapter 3). This is not just head knowledge of believing in Jesus, but rather receiving His words, taking them to heart, so that we may truly be transformed into the image of God. Where we no longer live to practice sin, but rather turn from our sins and practice righteousness through faith in Him in obedience to His Word by reading the Bible.

Our works cannot save us, but they can condemn us; it is not that we earn our way into everlasting life, but that we obey our Lord Jesus Christ:

Jesus says,

"Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?' And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!' (Matthew 7:21-23)

"And having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him." (Hebrews 5:9)

"Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, 'Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.'

Then He who sat on the throne said, 'Behold, I make all things new.' And He said to me, 'Write, for these words are true and faithful.'

And He said to me, 'It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.'" (Revelation 21:1-8)

So very blue

2011-12-16T15:42:00.000-06:00

I am so obsessed with the color blue. Everything looks better in blue. People tease me about that, offering me things in blue or making comments about it, but I don't mind. As a matter of fact, they could tease me until they're blue in the face. :D

I saw some screws at the home improvement store, have no idea what they're designed specially for, but they were blue. I had to open my big fat mouth and say, "Now why can't all screws be blue?". That fetched some odd looks.

Oh well, I've had odd looks before. It's nothing to be blue about.

Paper Cube Boredom

2011-12-15T10:22:00.000-06:00

What I do quite often when I am bored and have access to paper is making origami cubes. I make them out of all kinds of paper, even gum wrappers (now those tiny things are awesome!). If you want instructions on how to make them, post a comment and I will make up a tutorial. In case you're wondering, I added a heart to the one above to turn it into a Companion Cube like in the game Portal.

A good email about a dog

2011-12-12T18:47:00.000-06:00

An older, tired-looking dog wandered into my yard. I could tell from his collar and well-fed belly that he had a home and was well taken care of. He calmly came over to me, I gave him a few pats on his head; he then followed me into my house, slowly walked down the hall, curled up in the corner and fell asleep.

An hour later, he went to the door, and I let him out..

The next day he was back, greeted me in my yard, walked inside and resumed his spot in the hall and again slept for about an hour. This continued off and on for several weeks.

Curious I pinned a note to his collar: "I would like to find out who the owner of this wonderful sweet dog is and ask if you are aware that almost every afternoon your dog comes to my house for a nap."

The next day he arrived for his nap, with a different note pinned to his collar: "He lives in a home with 6 children, 2 under the age of 3 He"s trying to catch up on his sleep. Can I come with him tomorrow?"

Packing Peanuts

2011-12-11T19:18:00.002-06:00

I love playing with styrofoam packing peanuts. They come in interesting shapes, styles, colors, and materials. I've seen lots of pink ones that look like infinity symbols; stiffer white ones that curl back two directions and look like an S when on their side; and the ones that look like unflavored cheese puffs. I wonder if anyone has ever started a collection of the various peanuts available? If you know of any photos of a packing peanut collection, please let me know!

Winter Headwear

2011-12-10T12:25:00.000-06:00

Some earmuffs look good. Some look too big, too fuzzy, too bright, too flat, or like they were assembled behind a dumpster somewhere.

Some winter hats look good. Some look too tight, have a ridiculous looking pom-pom (or other silly decor), dopey earflaps, or hang limply. Of course that all depends on the look of the person who is wearing it. I always look awful in hats that are too small, because my head is small to begin with. I look like a Dum-Dum lollipop. And I don't like pom-poms much, period.

Now, these headband forehead warmer things I see people jogging with- uh, what's the point? Is that supposed to keep your head warm without making you sweat? I've tried it- they don't seem to work that well. My head just gets cold while I sweat under the band. Yuk.

I propose that everyone start wearing fuzzy gray hats with turned up earflaps. Khello, khomrade. :P
Either that, or pointy hand-knitted ones with dangly earflaps, Jayne style. :D

Chili Mango

2011-12-09T20:21:00.003-06:00

Okay this makes for a strange combination; I saw this package at the Dollar Tree and just HAD to try it. I like mangoes; I like hot peppers; why not try them together? I'll tell you why. The flavor completely bamboozles the tastebuds. I neither liked it or disliked it, it was just wierd and I'm not gonna have it again anytime soon. Would make for a great trick to play on people, though, offering them some "candy"....

To sciss or not to sciss

2011-12-09T17:40:00.002-06:00

Scissors are amazing tools. They have been around for so long and been improved so much. They used to be entirely metal and not very ergonomic when I was in school. And I had pointy ones then, not safety scissors, and nobody worried about me running around with them. I stabbed myself and learned from it, the end. Nowadays, I keep scissors in almost every room in the house. My desk scissors are practically sacred; I panic if they go missing. Don't want them to be used to cut, say, a paper clip or something. I use the kitchen scissors to quickly chop up salad mix into bite size pieces. The bathroom scissors are excellent for haircuts done at home. I have scissors on my dresser, for sudden crafting urges; scissors on my pocket knife, and scissors on my keychain. Thank you, whoever invented scissors. (Now I need to look that up and find out who that is).

Starting Over

2011-12-09T15:47:00.000-06:00

I haven't done anything on this blog in YEARS. I've decided to give it a complete overhaul and start using it again, rather than starting a brand new one. Guess I'm being random again. :D

Hours?

2006-01-16T12:25:00.000-06:00

In the United States, why do some people measure driving distance by time? As in, that place is an hour away?
>At what speed?
>In what kind of traffic?
There is a reason that cars don't have an hours per gallon rating.

In the United States, why is gasoline called gas?
>There are hundreds of gasses on Earth
>Gasoline is not a gas; it is a liquid

In Europe, why is gasoline called petrol?
>There are thousands of petroleum products on Earth

People, don't be lazy and save yourself saying a couple of extra letters. Say what you mean and mean what you say.

Meatloaf!!!!

2005-03-17T20:29:00.000-06:00

Well, I didn't get to go to the big city. So, I went to Habitat for Humanity instead. A funny thing happened today.... At Habitat I was talking to a friend about food, and we started talking about meatloaf. How we make it, what we put in it, and put it in, etc. The more we talked about meatloaf, the more I started craving it. So on the way home, I was still thinking about meatloaf, and I thought to myself, I should ask Mom to make her yummy meatloaf sometime soon. Now, this isn't the first time this has happened, but guess what we arrived home to find that Mom had made for supper?.....
