Update: My dreams, My Reading, My Writing, About Zelensky

Posted on March 22, 2022 by Stephen Nielsen

Well, I feel like Spring is officially here in Minnesota. I went for a long walk yesterday along the bank of the Mississippi river. The river is up from where it was last summer; it was almost all dried up. Hopefully, if we get more rain the river will be at its normal height again.

My Dreams

I had one of my re-occurring dreams last night. I very often have dreams where I am quite aggravated over painters that I have hired. I suppose it’s because of some unresolved things in my mind. Early in my painting business (in the 80s and early 90s) I hired a lot of painters. And some of them weren’t too experienced or reliable. So, I suppose that’s why I’m having these crazy dreams of painters doing crazy things where I end up getting very aggravated at them. I really should pray about it to resolve some of those issues—whatever they are, maybe anger issues.

My Reading

I’ve been reading books by Dinesh D’Souza, all about our country’s issues, like slavery and racism and lies our country’s leaders tell us, etc. D’Souza is very smart and I trust what he is saying, but, at the same time all of it is weighing on me. I know that God has opened the door for me to read this stuff; it’s almost like taking a class in American history and learning the truth about things—things that most history books won’t tell you. I hope and pray that I can put it to good use—maybe just blogging, which is what I have been doing.

My Writing on the Tribulation

I continue to write a book on the Tribulation. I write a little every day. I have a few sources, but I wish I had more. With future things I suppose it’s always hard to find material. My best source is the bible. But even the bible does not give me all that I want. God seems to hold back things that will happen. I’m now trying to write on the judgments: the seals, trumpets and bowls. But what the bible says is very brief. So, I am doing the best I can without extrapolating too much. Of course, I’m finding that the meaning of the seals for example will become clearer with the observation of what’s happening in the news—with wars and the economy, etc. For example, there is a lot of news now about how this Russia/Ukraine war could cause a global food shortage. And if that is occurring now, think of how it will certainly be a problem in the Tribulation.

What I have been hearing about Zelensky

Everybody seems to be really liking President Zelensky—for what he is saying and how he is encouraging his country to be strong and brave, and also how he is trying so hard to get counties to help. And have you heard of the latest song written about him, saying that he will be the superman of the world? Yes, I agree that he seems to be very antichrist-like. Yet he doesn’t appear to be boastful as we know the Antichrist will be. But maybe that will come later.

What I have been hearing lately is that he is not such a good fellow.

Someone from Ukraine reported that we can only believe half of what he says.
That he was installed with help of George Soros (a very evil and wealthy man, a thug)
That he is working for the World Economic Forum, which is pushing for a great Reset.
Since he is working toward The Great Reset (or build back better), that means that he may be trying to provoke Russia into war, and he may be intentionally trying to crash the economy and thus creating a world food crisis (which is what Biden is doing—with the aid of his advisors). Yes, it’s all in the plans: to tear everything down and start over.

Personalities in the Tribulation: The 144,000 Witnesses

Posted on March 21, 2022 by Stephen Nielsen

Studying Bible Prophecy

A record of these witnesses is recorded for us in Revelation 7:3-8 and 14:1-5. Here are four important points to note about them.

1. They are Jewish and not part of the church. The 144,000 witnesses (or evangelists) are undoubtedly Jewish because they are from every tribe of Israel, twelve-thousand from each tribe (Rev. 7:4-8). Some have insisted that they are part of the church, but that is impossible since the church will be raptured.

Also, as Ron Rhodes has pointed out in his book, Israel on High Alert, “God had originally chosen the Jews to be His witnesses…to share the good news of God with all other people around the world (Isa. 43:10).” Well, as we know, and as Rhodes has pointed out, they failed at this mandate and did not even recognize Jesus as their Messiah. But in the Tribulation, they will finally fulfill this mandate as…

Five Forms of Faith

Posted on March 20, 2022 by Stephen Nielsen

Prayer A to Z

Faith by itself is nothing, useless. James tells us that faith without works is dead. Hence, to just say “I believe God” really has no meaning unless there is a work of proof attached to it. And when that faith is worked out it needs a form, a form of expression. Therefore, we can say that there are various ways that faith is worked out. Here are…

Five Forms of Faith

1. Faith as commitment. We first come to God in faith by our repentance and surrender, surrendering our ears to hear His voice and our eyes to see Him. We continue our life of faith by that same yielding commitment. This is the most basic form of faith.

2. Faith as fellowship. After we have surrendered and committed ourselves to God, our faith grows in love toward Him so that it becomes fellowship. When we…

Who is Really to blame for Slavery and Indian Extinction in America?

Posted on March 19, 2022 by Stephen Nielsen

I recently read Dinesh D’Souza’s book The Big Lie. Now I am going through it and giving you some of the highlights. In this blog we will show how Hitler was inspired by American racism and Indian removal. Then we will show the atrocities of Andrew Jackson and the Democrats, and how they have lied about it.

Hitler found an important historical precedent for his plan to exterminate the Jews from the USA. In the Nineteenth century, Hitler knew that the white man removed most of the Indians through policies of treaty breaking, war, and forcibly relocating them.
Hitlers program for the Jews in Europe, was inspired by nineteenth-century policies and practices of the Democratic Party in America. His concept of concentration camps as well as the practicality of genocide owed much to his studies of English and United States history.
The Left now loves to portray Hitler as a right-winger, but you must notice how he has always allied himself completely with the pro-slavery and Indian removal policies of the Democrat Party. Clearly Hitler would be far more at home with Democrat President Andrew Jackson or Democrat Senator John Calhoun than he would Abraham Lincoln or any other Republican.
The West nor America is guilty of genocide; rather, Andrew Jackson and the Democrat Party are. Republicans were always against slavery.
Jackson declared himself a partisan of the Indians in much the same manner that he and his fellow Democratic slave-owners professed to be concerned… For a friend of the Indians, Jackson seemed remarkably adept at killing them.
Democratic Governor Peter Burnett did not hesitate to call it [the Indian war] a “war of extermination” that “must continue to be waged between the races until the Indian becomes extinct.”
Recently, scholars have found evidence that the Indian Health Service (IHS) carried out a longtime strategy of sterilizing native Indian women… In a recent study, Jane Lawrence estimates that 25 percent of all Indian women between the ages of fifteen and forty-four were sterilized by the IHS in the 1970s.
The way Democrat masters treated the slaves was unthinkable. In most southern states, extreme forms of mutilation and wounding were prohibited; but slave-owners did have de facto power because they could always claim the slave resisted authority or make up some other excuse, and courts could be counted on to take their word for it. With whippings and other punishments, Democrat masters had unchecked authority.
In cases of slave runaways, Andrew Jackson once offered a fifty-dollar reward for the capture of any runaway on his slave plantation “and ten dollars extra for every hundred lashes any person will give him to the amount of three hundred.”
Although slavery ended in 1865, it lasted more than 200 years, and it had its widest scope during the era of Democratic supremacy in the South from the 1820s through the 1860s.
Who can deny that blacks are still living with the effects of what the Democrats did to them? The progress we have made in eradicating concentration camps and slavery is hardly complete. The Democratic slave-owners legacy in America still leaves its ugly scars on the lives of many African Americans.

Personalities in the Tribulation: The Unredeemed – Part 2

Posted on March 18, 2022 by Stephen Nielsen

Studying Bible Prophecy

I don’t think that anyone can say how many unredeemed there will be on the earth during the Tribulation compared to the redeemed. As I already stated, there will be a great revival on the earth during the Tribulation and many will be saved. So, that hopefully will cut down the number of the unredeemed substantially. Also, because of so much death on the earth due to the great Tribulation, the number of the unredeemed will progressively decrease until all are gone just before the beginning of the new kingdom. In my study of this topic, I found the following seven points on the unredeemed.

4. They will continue in their sins (Rev. 9:20-21) Continued from part 1…

Drugs. From the word sorceries we get the word pharmacy, which infers drug use. I can imagine that drugs during the Tribulation will be legal and cheaper. And with all the pain…

Five Descriptions of Faith

Posted on March 17, 2022 by Stephen Nielsen

Prayer A to Z

In some respects the meaning of faith is so simple. It means to just believe God, to trust and rely on Him. But because we are human and sinful, faith becomes so hard for us. Hence, we seem to need to dissect it and to look at it from different angles, in order to get the meaning of faith that pleases us or that helps us to understand it. And I think that’s good. We need to do that.

In my reading on faith I have come across numerous descriptions. Here are a few I have put together. I hope these will help you understand faith. Perhaps from these you will come up with your own description.

1. Faith is a work of God’s Spirit in the heart.

Andrew Murray wrote, “Faith is completely the work of God’s Spirit through His Word in the prepared heart of the…

Exposing the Roots of Fascism and Racism in America

Posted on March 16, 2022 by Stephen Nielsen

I think there is no better source than Dinesh D’Souza’s books to lay out the history of racism and Fascism, and to expose its roots. In this blog I am picking out a few quotes from his book The Big Lie, which I just finished reading. In these first quotes he really hits the Democrat Party hard, and we will also see them blaming their racism and fascism of the right wing—incredible!

Robert Paxton stated in his, The Anatomy of Fascism: “It may be that the earliest phenomenon that can be functionally related to fascism is American: the Ku Klux Klan.” D’Souza writes that the Klan was the domestic terrorist arm of the Democratic Party.
The racism of the Democratic Party in America not only preceded the racism of the Nazis, it lasted for longer—more than a century compared to the twelve years of Nazi rule in Germany.
The Democratic Party’s racism after the Civil War was preceded by the Democratic Party’s defense of slavery and its support of policies for the relocation and extermination of American Indians. What term other than genocide can we use to describe Democratic President Andrew Jackson’s mass relocation of the Indians?
D’Souza compares the Nazi camps to the slave plantations. He states, “What is the slave plantation if not a special type of concentration camp?” He writes that both were work camps, both were forced labor, both were treated harshly with little regard for the lives of the workers, and in both cases the workers were considered inferior and even subhuman. And who were the bosses? Nazis and Democrats!
D’Souza writes, “Margaret Sanger and her fellow progressive eugenicists didn’t get their ideas for killing off undesirables—or preventing their births—from the Nazis; the Nazis got them from their American counterparts who dominated the field of international eugenics.”
Woodrow Wilson was a racist who was almost single-handedly responsible for the revival of the Ku Klux Klan… According to historian, Robert Paxton, the Klan is the closest American precursor to a Nazi movement.
FDR came after Wilson, and he was a racist too. Hitler saw FDR as a kindred spirit and his New Deal was widely praised as an American form of fascism in the Nazi Party’s official newspaper.

After World War II the progressive Left started blaming their own atrocities on the Right. D’Souza writes,

After World War II, the progressives [of the Left] recognized how crushing it would be if Americans knew about the actual record of progressivism and the Democrat Party…So progressives decided to tell a new story…Left-wing phenomena now got moved into the right-wing column. Suddenly Mussolini and Hitler became ‘right-wingers,’ and the people who supposedly brought them to power became ‘conservatives. The Left, then, became the glorious resisters of fascism and Nazism.

1. They will follow after the beast (Antichrist), and they will worship both the beast and the dragon, or Satan (Rev. 13:3-8). I think that even during the first half of the Tribulation, before it is revealed who the Antichrist really is, the world will…

Three Foundation Stones of Faith

Posted on March 14, 2022 by Stephen Nielsen

Prayer A to Z

God has revealed Himself to us by His Word and through His Spirit; and by these He works in us to tell us who He is and what His will is; and He urges us and leads us according to His will. Thus, these are, generally, the three foundation stones that we build our faith on: knowledge of His will, knowledge of His character, and whether we experience the urging of His Spirit.

Three Foundation Stones that we Build Our Faith On

1. Knowledge of God’s will

The Bible tells us that “faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God (Rom. 10:17). Hence, the will of God (concerning a certain thing) that comes to us in our ears, by His Spirit, and through our diligent study of the Word, builds in us a basis for our faith (in obtaining that certain thing). This…
