Sorry for no new posts in the past couple of days. I've been very busy with school work (yes, over spring break) and programming projects "Just for fun" :-D
As a practice project, I've created a program to learn the Hebrew alphabet where the letters come up randomly and user is to select which letter it is or select the letter when given the name. Not sure what I'm going to do with the program yet. I've considered the possibility of submitting it to the Windows store as well as other venues or just giving it away. Currently I have a working project and would like a few beta testers to test it and give feedback.
It still needs colors / decorations and possibly sound effects and scoring and maybe more features although it is functional and does what I intended it to do. More testing needed to make sure there are no bugs in it and to verify there are no errors in the letters and such. I was very careful and have not found any errors although sometimes they show up when viewed by another set of eyes. All of this is why there is a need for beta testers to give feedback. It also needs a name as you can see from the screenshots I was not sure what to call the program. For those that are curious, it is written in Visual C# (I also have experience in VB.NET, Java, C++, Javascript and yes, SQL server and SQL queries too!)
I also have several very functional utilities that I have made that I use nearly every day including a timer (for baking cookies when I'm busy on a project so the cookies don't burn) and a little memo notepad like program that stays on top so you can copy / paste into it without it minimizing (it can save what is in it although long term storage is not the intent of the program) If anyone has leads on jobs or marketing, it would be appreciated.
See screenshots of the Hebrew Alphabet program below:
I'm not sure what the fuss is all about. There has always been two states and people need to accept that fact and get over it. The two states I'm speaking of is, of course, Israel and Jordan.
The so-called "palestinians" are, for the most part, Jordanian who chose to stay in Israel after the 7 day war in 1967. Israel graciously allowed them to stay in Israel and even gave them full citizenship. Those who stayed in Israel did so because they chose to. Jordan supports the division of Israel for their ex-pats (AKA "palestinians") because they do not want them back in Jordan.
Anyone who has ever been to Israel can easily see that Israel has very little land and should not give an inch to another arab state. They already gave up Gush Katif (Gaza) "for peace" and in return, they have had missiles launched at them from Gaza on a daily basis. Bill Gates (microsoft) purchased the greenhouses the Jewish Israelis left behind in Gaza to give to the arab "palestinians" yet these terrorists chose to tear down the greenhouses - a lucrative business purchased for them - and demand that Israel support them.
The terrorists left behind in Gush Katif / Gaza are ungrateful for the electricity and water Israel supplies them. They are ungrateful for the food Israel gives them. They are even ungrateful for the free medical / surgery / hospitalization Israel gives their critically ill. Nearly every day arabs cross the Gaza / Israel border into Israel to obtain medical attention for their seriously ill children FOR FREE.
While Israel should never have given the Gaza strip to the terrorists, their doing so moved the Jewish people to safety when prophecy happens - Gaza will be wiped out eventually.
There are several hundred land disputes between countries throughout the world as can be seen in the CIA fact book (free online or download at: https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/index.html a GREAT resource) yet the world's attention is on Israel and specifically Jerusalem.
I was in Israel in 2007 and while it is an amazing place, the land itself in the natural is not that spectacular especially around Jerusalem. Anyone with any amount of discernment can tell it is a spiritual battle otherwise the muslims would be happy with another part of the world that was offered to them. Those who claim to be atheists or non-Christians (or even anti-Israel "christians") yet focused on demanding Israel "give up land for peace" need to examine why they are so focused yet ignore the other land disputes throughout the world. Anti-semitism is on the rise and it is spiritual otherwise people would not be so focused on this one issue when there are others to be concerned over. Those who never have been to Israel and cannot find it on the map are demanding Israel give up land which makes no sense at all in the natural. If the "palestinians" just want land - give them Western Washington State (in the U.S.) - they can be contained there, have plenty of good land, everything they would ever want or need, and the City of Seattle mayor (and the governor) and the liberal population will welcome them with open arms, and the democrats will get extra voters so everyone will be happy.
Of course the "palestinians" and the world would never go for that solution because of the Jewish people which they hate because they hate Yahweh. So many [false] "christians" are falling into the apostasy and part of their blindness is "kingdom now" and replacement theology in which they believe they are "God's chosen people" and need to "take over the world for Jesus to return". Very few are staying faithful to Yahweh. My heart grieves as I see so many I thought were friends fall into this apostasy.
Stay strong, stay faithful. Don't fall for the seduction of those who have turned apostate. Messiah Yeshua said that the delusion would be so strong that it could almost fool the very elect:
Matthew 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
Many so-called "pastors" are deceivers and have chosen to tell made up stories. They misquote scripture and twist it to say something it never said and the PEOPLE LOVE IT SO just as they did in Ancient Israel.
Jeremiah 5:31 The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?
2 Timothy 4 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. 5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.
Read your bible and follow what it says in spite of what your "friends", family, or pastors say. Examine yourself to make sure you have not accepted some of the lies and that you are still in the faith:
2 Corinthians 13:5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
Luke 21:36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
Today's society in the united states is seeing an increase of socialist liberalism where liberals are calling for tolerance and social justice while being intolerant of those who have ideas and thoughts they do not agree with. It is the ME generation where people feel entitled to a free education, free health care, free everything that THEY want --- all at the expense of someone else. They do not want to work for what they have, they wanted it given to them on a silver platter. Just ten years ago you never would have had a socialist in high office but now one of the leading democrat presidential candidates is a liberal socialist who wants to give everyone free college - without an explanation on how it will be paid for.
I'm embarrassed at all of the riots and protests in the united states against someone because that person has a belief or idea that people do not like. It used to be universities and colleges were to listen to differing idea and to learn. Not anymore. Now colleges are full of whiny crybabies who want a college degree given to them without having to work for it. College students now do not want to hear anything they disagree with and will protest against differing ideas instead of listening and respecting other peoples viewpoint. Many college students do not want to study or turn in homework and there are those who believe they deserve a passing grade even though they have not done any work and failed the exams. It is bad enough some that show up for class want a passing grade as a "participation ribbon" but there are those who don't even show up for class who don't do the work who also believe they deserve a passing grade.
I have two college degrees and am currently working on my third degree in computer programming. I'm amazed with how many students copy each others homework to turn in and put no effort into learning the material. They want a degree (and then a high paying job) without even learning how to write computer programs.
Here is what the Mayo clinic says about narcissism:
The Mayo clinic defines narcissism as:
An excessive need for admiration, disregard for others' feelings, an inability to handle any criticism, and a sense of entitlement.
This is a mark of the end times as spoken of in scripture: 2 Timothy 3
1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
Of course this "disregard of others' feelings" does not mean you don't call out the deceivers, liars, and manipulators to warn people of their deceptions. Even Messiah Yeshua called out the pharisees who were leading people to hell and He overturned the moneychangers' tables: Matthew 23:33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell? Matthew 21 12 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,
13 And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.
This narcissism / socialism will welcome the antichrist and will sweep the false "christains" left behind right along with them. NAR (new apostolic reformation) / ihop / bethel-redding / hillsong feeds narcissism of deceived followers. They tell people they are "a general in God's army" or "you are one of the new apostles" or "your prophetic gift is stronger than what Moses had" and other ego-feeding deceptions to seduce people into following them and their anti-christ cult. They and their deceived followers will welcome THE antichrist with open arms.
Once the rapture happens, this narcissism will become so out of control and the false "christians" given the strong delusion will be hunting down and killing those who become true followers of Messiah Yeshua during the tribulation.
2 Thessalonians 2
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
John 16
2 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.
3 And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.
If you have been deceived by the Great Apostasy movement (made up in part by hillsong / ihop / NAR / bethel-redding / rick warren / etc.) you need to ask Yahweh to open your eyes and break the demonic strongholds that have you so deceived. You need to stop fellowship with those who are seducing you to follow them to destruction. Time is too short to play around. Repent while it is still easy to do so - once the rapture happens chaos like that which never has been seen will break out and you will most likely die a martyr's death if Yahweh does not give you over to the strong delusion and you die in your sins.
Recently there was a little bit of a debate on a Christian forum I've been a member of for almost 15 years. I don't visit the forum very often because most of the members do not truly follow Yahweh and His rules (IE: Torah) and believe they do not have to obey Him (they are harder to witness to than atheists)
One member posted that if people you know are on their way to hell, you do not need to pray for them or witness to them after warning them. This person has no clue about what eternity holds for these "friends" unless their friends repent.
If one truly understands the eternal consequences of the unrepentant, they would do anything they could to stop their friends and family from going to hell. Jude says we are to snatch them from the fire if need be.
Jude 1
21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
22 And of some have compassion, making a difference:
23 And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
How do we love God? 1 John 5
2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
There are those who are reprobate and Yahweh says to not pray for them because He knows they will never repent and He has given those who darkened their hearts (black hearted) over to a reprobate mind. Yahweh says to not pray for them:
Romans 1
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
--- 28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
Jeremiah 11
11 Therefore thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon them, which they shall not be able to escape; and though they shall cry unto me, I will not hearken unto them.
12 Then shall the cities of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem go, and cry unto the gods unto whom they offer incense: but they shall not save them at all in the time of their trouble.
13 For according to the number of thy cities were thy gods, O Judah; and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem have ye set up altars to that shameful thing, even altars to burn incense unto Baal.
14 Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up a cry or prayer for them: for I will not hear them in the time that they cry unto me for their trouble.
Many have already made a choice and will not repent. You can see this throughout the apostate church movement (ihop / hillsong / bethel-redding and all of the ilk associated with them) They have been given over to a strong delusion - a reprobate mind. If you look at the apostate church movement, you can see the widespread deception that is like a cancer in the "church". They cannot see that they are not following Messiah yet they claim they are. They (mis)quote bible verses to justify their rebellion and false doctrines. Many justify their willful sin of divorce / remarriage, fornication, adultery, idolatry, and even homosexuality. They claim they are "Christians" and ignore the warnings the bible gives about their sin (often twisting the words of the apostle Paul to do so)
Galatians 5
19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
Many people love their false prophets and false teachers and will cling to them regardless of how much rebellion their leaders are committing against Yahweh. They are blind and do not realize they are on their way to hell and, like the proverbial frog, will not realize their fate until it is too late for them
Matthew 24: 11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
2 Peter 2 1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
Many of these false teachers will deceive others by sneaking into their home (via the internet) with their false prophecies and false teachings. These wicked false prophets / teachers will lie about others, despise those who follow Messiah Yeshua and are obedient to Torah, covet what others have, and will commit all sorts of evil against those who obey Yahweh while they, themselves, claim to be believers.
2 Timothy 3 1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
I was a victim of self-professed "christians" who claimed to be my friends who totally fit this description and plotted to destroy me. The two leaders plotted against me and set me up to be destroyed by some evil demon possessed completely rebellious (against Yahweh) people in Wisconsin. The one guy who set out to destroy me us black hearted and Yahweh has told me no amount of prayer will be heard for him because he is black hearted and set on his rebellious ways. The other guy, as hard as I have tried to stop praying for him, Yahweh continues to place it on my heart to pray for. I do not believe he will repent since he likes the fellowship of evildoers he has yoked himself to although I continue to pray because Yahweh lays it on my heart to do so. I'm not sure if he was deceived with the numerous lies told about me (I have not found out what all of them were) or if he was the one who masterminded the plot to destroy me (if that was the case, I'm not sure Yahweh would have me continue to pray for him???) Regardless, out of obedience I pray he was deceived by the others and Yahweh opens his eyes before it is too late for him. It would take a miracle to heal the friendship (if there really was one) that the evildoers destroyed by their lies and slander.
1 John 5
16 If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.
17 All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.
James 5:20 Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.
Yahweh will show you who to pray for and you need to be obedient and pray for them. Yahweh will also show you those who you are to not pray for because those people have already given themselves to rebellion and have made their choice to follow after their own lusts and deeper deception.
2 Timothy 3:13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
I have come to find in my life that people are a test. There are those you care for that are rebellious and are Yahweh's enemies and they are a test to see if you love your friends / family more than Yahweh or will cleave to Yahweh and follow Him. They are also a test to see if you will pray for them in obedience as Yahweh lays it on your heart to do so. Sometimes I wonder if it was similar with the angels who followed satan out of loyalty to their friends (do angels have friends?) - something had to make so many angels rebel and follow lucifer (satan)The following can be applied to false prophets, false teachers, politicians, or even friends or family. Who is more important to you - Yahweh or those who tickle your ears with their lies???
Deuteronomy 13
1 If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder,
2 And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them;
3 Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
4 Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him.
2 Timothy 4
3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.
Now is the time to repent and make amends to those you have harmed. If you refuse to ask for forgiveness, Yahweh will not forgive you. If the one you harmed is a believer, they will forgive you otherwise they will not be forgiven. Yahweh wants reconciliation of those who truly follow Messiah Yeshua. The brothers / sisters in Yeshua are to dwell in harmony (that does not include the wolves / false brethren) and the only way that will happen is repentance and to expel the wolves / false believers. Fellowship with evildoers and demons "in harmony" leads to hell as they seduce you into believing you are on your way to heaven. Those who follow Messiah must follow Him in Spirit and in Truth.
John 4
23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
1 Corinthians 5
9 I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:
10 Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world.
11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.
12 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?
13 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.
Spring break (from college) finally here. Should have time to post more this week. Some friends and I may go to Minneapolis for the day one day next week (or maybe Chicago) so there may be a day or two I won't be around to post. I should have a post tomorrow. Yahweh has been showing me some amazing things.
There is one prophecy everyone overlooked that was spoken by Messiah Yeshua (Jesus) that was not seen to be anything more than a comment or it was looked at with a different interpretation. Most people still don't see it as a prophecy that was fulfilled last year (2015) Maybe this is because few study the bible and just listen to others who prefer to parrot other teachers instead of studying the bible. The prophecy speaks of 2015 especially (although has always been relevant) and was helped to come to pass by the most incompetent traitorous president in american history. When we look back to 2015, we can see it was an earmark of the narcissistic society we now live in. Everyone became "offended" by everything they did not agree with. Because of a church shooting, the confederate flag became an "offense" and southern states made a move to wipe out their civil war history (a mark of giving the federal government more power than the Constitution granted it) and the southern governors are now "offended" by their states defending states' rights in the Civil War. I think the battle between states' rights was orchestrated using slavery as the issue since it was/is a strong moral issue. If the states would have defended their rights on something less polarizing, the states would have maintained the rights the Constitution granted them instead of surrendering those rights over to the federal government. The sodomites in Kentucky were offended because a (nominal) "christian" woman refused to grant them "marriage" licenses. Instead of going elsewhere, they demanded that the clerk give up her rights in order to satisfy their perversion. If you look at the bible, you can see why Lot was so vexed living in sodom. muslims were offended that clock boy was questioned about the clock intentionally made to look like a bomb, they were also offended by those who claim that islam is a terrorist organization and not a religion. Undocumented foreigners living in the united states were offended that they were called criminals. Some cry baby college students in Missouri were offended by everything and demanded there be race based hiring in their school. Some colleges students are offended because they have to attend classes and take exams. There are some college students that believe if they show up they should receive a passing grade as a "participation ribbon" regardless of how poorly they do on exams and regardless of whether they turned in their homework or not. The year 2015 has already become the year of "everyone offended by everything" - a prophecy given by Yeshua. The prophecy? : Matthew 24:10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. When this verse was commented on in the past, it was most often interpreted that people would be offended by Yeshua although that has always been the case and nothing new - it was the case in Yeshua's day and He said His followers would be hated because of Him. After that, Yeshua clearly said in the prophecy AND THEN meaning after what He had just said: Matthew 24
4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. Verse 9 is relevant in 2015 as well when isis beheaded numerous Christians and the Christians were slaughtered in many countries. While I believe that verses 9 and 10 were partially fulfilled, I believe it is only a small indication of what is going to happen in the (very near) future during the tribulation. After the rapture, the strong delusion will be given to those who were left behind and they will become more militant against those who come to faith in the tribulation. The false "christians" who are left behind will join the dominionist camp and will usher in the antichrist as their "savior". 2 Thessalonians 2 10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. Now is the time to repent of your sins - including making amends with those you sinned against. Yeshua said if you refuse to forgive your brother, you will not be forgiven by the Father. If you think you will get a "free pass" on your sins, you are deluded. Mark 11
25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.
1 John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
Matthew 7
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.G458 Strong's number G458 iniquity (transliterated as anomia) : anomia 1) the condition of without law a) because ignorant of it b) because of violating it 2) contempt and violation of law, iniquity, wickedness
