  • About time, it's coming out for everyone to see.
    About time, it's coming out for everyone to see.
    BREAKING: FBI LEAKS SHOCKING EPSTEIN TAPE – TOM HANKS CAUGHT RED-HANDED MURDERING CHILDREN ON LOLITA EXPRESS!
    The deep state is in full panic mode right now. Fresh leaks straight from FBI vaults have dropped a bombshell tape that exposes Hollywood's darkest secrets once and for all. This isn't some grainy rumor – this is raw, undeniable evidence showing Tom Hanks on Jeffrey Epstein's infamous Lolita Express, actively involved in the ritualistic murder of innocent children. Yes, you read that right – murder. Not just the usual sick parties, but straight-up satanic child sacrifice that the elite have been hiding for decades.
    The tape captures Hanks laughing as the horrors unfold, proving he's not just a passenger but a key player in this global pedophile network. Epstein's plane wasn't a joyride; it was a flying dungeon for the worst crimes imaginable, and Hanks was right there in the middle of it, protected by his celebrity status and deep connections to the cabal.
    This is the moment Q warned us about – the storm is here, and the Hollywood pedos are finally being exposed. The same Tom Hanks who played the nice guy in movies is actually a monster who preyed on kids while the mainstream media covered for him. Remember how they called these leaks "conspiracy theories"? Now the proof is out, and they can't hide anymore.
    The FBI couldn't bury this forever. Insiders risked everything to get this tape out before the deep state could destroy it. This ties directly into the bigger picture: the elite bloodlines, adrenochrome harvesting, and the satanic rituals on the island. Hanks is just the tip of the iceberg – expect more big names to drop soon as the dominoes fall.
    Patriots, this is huge. Share this everywhere before they censor it. The awakening is accelerating, and the criminals in Hollywood are terrified. Trump knew. Q knew. We knew. Now the world is seeing it.
    The end is near for the cabal. WWG1WGA! Trust the plan – it's happening right now in 2026.
    They thought they could silence the truth forever, but the light is exposing every single one of them. No more hiding behind Oscars and fake smiles. Justice is coming for the children. Pray for the victims. Fight for the truth.
    This changes everything. The great awakening has arrived. Stay vigilant, anons. More to come – much more.

  • Israel is a somewhat tricky and often contentious subject for Christians. “God says ‘those who bless Israel will be blessed, and those who curse Israel will be cursed,’ so we must support Israel.”

    But what is “Israel”? For many, specifically, those who would make the statement above, the middle-eastern state that was founded in the 1940s is Israel; however, while the country of Israel exists primarily on the land God promised Abraham, the nation of Israel in Scripture is not a place - it is a people.

    Scour the Old Testament and you will find God’s “chosen” people to be referred to as both Israel, and the sons of Israel, as the label was derived from the name given to Jacob after he had “striven with God and…prevailed” (Gen. 32:28). From then on, God’s people were called “Israel,” regardless of where they were.

    But not all those who descended from Jacob were saved. Paul even tells us that “they are not all Israel who are descended from Israel” (Rom. 9:6). As Paul further explains, it is not ethnicity or genetics that makes one a child of God, it is God’s choice, those of/who receive the promise (Rom. 9). Jesus Himself makes this clear when He tells the Pharisees that they are not children of Abraham, but children of the devil, because they are not of the faith of Abraham (Jn. 8:39-47).

    Paul affirms this in Romans chapter 4 and Galatians 3 when he explains that Abraham’s descendants, those who would receive the promise, are those who are “of the faith of Abraham” (Rom. 4:16; Gal. 3:7).

    Thus, when Paul writes, “and so all Israel will be saved,” he is not speaking of those who are genetically descended from Jacob, but of us, Christians, the body of Christ, all who chosen of God and who are of the faith. They are Israel because they are chosen, not chosen because they are Israel.

    Brethren, let us then be humble in knowing that our belonging to Israel, being grafted in by God’s choice and doing (Rom. 11:17), understanding that some were cut off, and that those who were cut off may yet be grafted back in, should God open their eyes and they do not continue in their unbelief (Rom. 11:18-25). Let us be ever thankful that God sought us out, and that according to His will, He saved us (Eph. 1:5).

    Spurgeon’s Morning and Evening Devotions

    Morning, January 21

    "And so all Israel shall be saved." Romans 11:26

    Then Moses sang at the Red Sea, it was his joy to know that all Israel were safe. Not a drop of spray fell from that solid wall until the last of God's Israel had safely planted his foot on the other side the flood. That done, immediately the floods dissolved into their proper place again, but not till then. Part of that song was, "Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people which thou hast redeemed." In the last time, when the elect shall sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and of the Lamb, it shall be the boast of Jesus, "Of all whom thou hast given me, I have lost none." In heaven there shall not be a vacant throne.

    "For all the chosen race
    Shall meet around the throne,
    Shall bless the conduct of His grace,
    And make His glories known."

    As many as God hath chosen, as many as Christ hath redeemed, as many as the Spirit hath called, as many as believe in Jesus, shall safely cross the dividing sea. We are not all safely landed yet:

    "Part of the host have crossed the flood,
    And part are crossing now."

    The vanguard of the army has already reached the shore. We are marching through the depths; we are at this day following hard after our Leader into the heart of the sea. Let us be of good cheer: the rear-guard shall soon be where the vanguard already is; the last of the chosen ones shall soon have crossed the sea, and then shall be heard the song of triumph, when all are secure. But oh! if one were absent- oh! if one of His chosen family should be cast away- it would make an everlasting discord in the song of the redeemed, and cut the strings of the harps of paradise, so that music could never be extorted from them.

  • Jeremiah
    Chapter 18

    1 The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,

    2 Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words.

    3 Then I went down to the potter's house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels.

    4 And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.

    5 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

    6 O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the LORD. Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel.

    7 At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it;

    8 If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them.

    9 And at what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it;

    10 If it do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good, wherewith I said I would benefit them.

    11 Now therefore go to, speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I frame evil against you, and devise a device against you: return ye now every one from his evil way, and make your ways and your doings good.

    12 And they said, There is no hope: but we will walk after our own devices, and we will every one do the imagination of his evil heart.

    13 Therefore thus saith the LORD; Ask ye now among the heathen, who hath heard such things: the virgin of Israel hath done a very horrible thing.

    14 Will a man leave the snow of Lebanon which cometh from the rock of the field? or shall the cold flowing waters that come from another place be forsaken?

    15 Because my people hath forgotten me, they have burned incense to vanity, and they have caused them to stumble in their ways from the ancient paths, to walk in paths, in a way not cast up;

    16 To make their land desolate, and a perpetual hissing; every one that passeth thereby shall be astonished, and wag his head.

    17 I will scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy; I will shew them the back, and not the face, in the day of their calamity.

    18 Then said they, Come, and let us devise devices against Jeremiah; for the law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come, and let us smite him with the tongue, and let us not give heed to any of his words.

    19 Give heed to me, O LORD, and hearken to the voice of them that contend with me.

    20 Shall evil be recompensed for good? for they have digged a pit for my soul. Remember that I stood before thee to speak good for them, and to turn away thy wrath from them.

    21 Therefore deliver up their children to the famine, and pour out their blood by the force of the sword; and let their wives be bereaved of their children, and be widows; and let their men be put to death; let their young men be slain by the sword in battle.

    22 Let a cry be heard from their houses, when thou shalt bring a troop suddenly upon them: for they have digged a pit to take me, and hid snares for my feet.

    23 Yet, LORD, thou knowest all their counsel against me to slay me: forgive not their iniquity, neither blot out their sin from thy sight, but let them be overthrown before thee; deal thus with them in the time of thine anger.

  • Brethren, do you have a firm grasp on Scripture? Do you struggle getting others to understand? It is common for Christians even to argue with unbelievers, to try to get them to accept or comprehend God’s truth.

    We should not do this. To this we were never called. This is neither our mission nor our purview. Only God can open eyes. Only God can open the mind. Only God can open the heart.

    Recall after His resurrection when He stood in the midst of those who had walked with Him in His earthy ministry. Even they did not truly see until “He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures” (Lk. 24:45).

    We cannot force understanding, even within ourselves. We must be enlightened; He must open our understanding. Likewise, we cannot force it upon others. Nor can we force the gospel through clever argument or marketing methods. For, “the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ” (2 Cor. 4:4). It is outside our power to change this.

    Likewise, we cannot change hearts by force. It is God who opens hearts, just as He did with Lydia (Acts 16:14).

    Thus, when you sit down to read, when you discuss with others, do not set your mind on your own understanding (Pr. 3:5); instead, pray for God, through His Holy Spirit, to open your mind and heart, and that of your audience, to receive His word according to His intent, and to do so as well for any to whom you preach the gospel.

    ——————
    Spurgeon’s Morning and Evening Devotions

    Evening, January 19

    "Then opened He their understanding, that they might understand the Scriptures." Luke 24:45

    He whom we viewed last evening as opening Scripture, we here perceive opening the understanding. In the first work He has many fellow-labourers, but in the second He stands alone; many can bring the Scriptures to the mind, but the Lord alone can prepare the mind to receive the Scriptures. Our Lord Jesus differs from all other teachers; they reach the ear, but He instructs the heart; they deal with the outward letter, but He imparts an inward taste for the truth, by which we perceive its savour and spirit. The most unlearned of men become ripe scholars in the school of grace when the Lord Jesus by His Holy Spirit unfolds the mysteries of the kingdom to them, and grants the divine anointing by which they are enabled to behold the invisible. Happy are we if we have had our understandings cleared and strengthened by the Master! How many men of profound learning are ignorant of eternal things! They know the killing letter of revelation, but its killing spirit they cannot discern; they have a veil upon their hearts which the eyes of carnal reason cannot penetrate. Such was our case a little time ago; we who now see were once utterly blind; truth was to us as beauty in the dark, a thing unnoticed and neglected. Had it not been for the love of Jesus we should have remained to this moment in utter ignorance, for without His gracious opening of our understanding, we could no more have attained to spiritual knowledge than an infant can climb the Pyramids, or an ostrich fly up to the stars. Jesus' College is the only one in which God's truth can be really learned; other schools may teach us what is to be believed, but Christ's alone can show us how to believe it. Let us sit at the feet of Jesus, and by earnest prayer call in His blessed aid that our dull wits may grow brighter, and our feeble understandings may receive heavenly things.
    Brethren, do you have a firm grasp on Scripture? Do you struggle getting others to understand? It is common for Christians even to argue with unbelievers, to try to get them to accept or comprehend God’s truth. We should not do this. To this we were never called. This is neither our mission nor our purview. Only God can open eyes. Only God can open the mind. Only God can open the heart. Recall after His resurrection when He stood in the midst of those who had walked with Him in His earthy ministry. Even they did not truly see until “He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures” (Lk. 24:45). We cannot force understanding, even within ourselves. We must be enlightened; He must open our understanding. Likewise, we cannot force it upon others. Nor can we force the gospel through clever argument or marketing methods. For, “the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ” (2 Cor. 4:4). It is outside our power to change this. Likewise, we cannot change hearts by force. It is God who opens hearts, just as He did with Lydia (Acts 16:14). Thus, when you sit down to read, when you discuss with others, do not set your mind on your own understanding (Pr. 3:5); instead, pray for God, through His Holy Spirit, to open your mind and heart, and that of your audience, to receive His word according to His intent, and to do so as well for any to whom you preach the gospel. —————— Spurgeon’s Morning and Evening Devotions Evening, January 19 "Then opened He their understanding, that they might understand the Scriptures." Luke 24:45 He whom we viewed last evening as opening Scripture, we here perceive opening the understanding. In the first work He has many fellow-labourers, but in the second He stands alone; many can bring the Scriptures to the mind, but the Lord alone can prepare the mind to receive the Scriptures. Our Lord Jesus differs from all other teachers; they reach the ear, but He instructs the heart; they deal with the outward letter, but He imparts an inward taste for the truth, by which we perceive its savour and spirit. The most unlearned of men become ripe scholars in the school of grace when the Lord Jesus by His Holy Spirit unfolds the mysteries of the kingdom to them, and grants the divine anointing by which they are enabled to behold the invisible. Happy are we if we have had our understandings cleared and strengthened by the Master! How many men of profound learning are ignorant of eternal things! They know the killing letter of revelation, but its killing spirit they cannot discern; they have a veil upon their hearts which the eyes of carnal reason cannot penetrate. Such was our case a little time ago; we who now see were once utterly blind; truth was to us as beauty in the dark, a thing unnoticed and neglected. Had it not been for the love of Jesus we should have remained to this moment in utter ignorance, for without His gracious opening of our understanding, we could no more have attained to spiritual knowledge than an infant can climb the Pyramids, or an ostrich fly up to the stars. Jesus' College is the only one in which God's truth can be really learned; other schools may teach us what is to be believed, but Christ's alone can show us how to believe it. Let us sit at the feet of Jesus, and by earnest prayer call in His blessed aid that our dull wits may grow brighter, and our feeble understandings may receive heavenly things.

  • Twitter is saturated with videos of Don Lemon-head and a crowd of Anti-ICE protestors interrupting a church service and apparently shutting it down. I am so infuriated that I had to get off twitter for the time being. That pastor, going forward, needs to be armed every time he sets foot on the church campus. He also needs to have some other trained armed men amongst his deacons/elders/pastoral staff/congregants to make sure that nothing like this ever happens to his church again. I know that had to be traumatizing for some of his congregants.

  • Believer, recall when Jesus walked, unrecognized, with two disciples on the road to Emmaus. They were in conversation regarding the events of the past few days, and Jesus joined them. They were perplexed over the women’s statements regarding the empty tomb, so as they traveled on, Jesus, beginning with Moses and the prophets, “explained to them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures” (Lk. 24:27).

    At the time, the only “Scriptures” were what we know as the Old Testament.

    Think about that. He began with Moses, which is the Pentateuch - Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy - then taught them the things about Himself written in all the Scriptures. Every book of the Old Testament teaches of our savior. In every book, we can find hidden gems about our Messiah.

    Whether through archetypes, like the Passover lamb and the ram Abraham found in the thicket to replace Isaac as a sacrifice, or in “the angel of the Lord,” or in shadows that looked forward to Him, such as the tabernacle and its services or the sabbath rest, all pointed to Christ.

    As Paul wrote, “the Law has become our tutor to lead us to Christ, so that we may be justified by faith” (Gal. 3:24).

    We could not fulfill the law on our own; no man could. It was given to show us our sinfulness and need of a savior. As Paul again explains, “I would not have come to know sin except through the Law” (Rom. 7:7).

    Jesus set us free from our bondage that we could not ourselves break. And all of the Old Testament points to Him.

    Christian, do not neglect reading all of the Scriptures. Christ, and God, is found in all of it, and all of it points to His glory, as our lives also are to do.

    Spurgeon’s Morning and Evening Devotions

    Evening, January 18

    "He expounded unto them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself." Luke 24:27

    The two disciples on the road to Emmaus had a most profitable journey. Their companion and teacher was the best of tutors"; the interpreter one of a thousand, in whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. The Lord Jesus condescended to become a preacher of the gospel, and He was not ashamed to exercise His calling before an audience of two persons, neither does He now refuse to become the teacher of even one. Let us court the company of so excellent an Instructor, for till He is made unto us wisdom we shall never be wise unto salvation.

    This unrivalled tutor used as His class-book the best of books. Although able to reveal fresh truth, He preferred to expound the old. He knew by His omniscience what was the most instructive way of teaching, and by turning at once to Moses and the prophets, He showed us that the surest road to wisdom is not speculation, reasoning, or reading human books, but meditation upon the Word of God. The readiest way to be spiritually rich in heavenly knowledge is to dig in this mine of diamonds, to gather pearls from this heavenly sea. When Jesus Himself sought to enrich others, He wrought in the quarry of Holy Scripture.

    The favoured pair were led to consider the best of subjects, for Jesus spake of Jesus, and expounded the things concerning Himself. Here the diamond cut the diamond, and what could be more admirable? The Master of the House unlocked His own doors, conducted the guests to His table, and placed His own dainties upon it. He who hid the treasure in the field Himself guided the searchers to it. Our Lord would naturally discourse upon the sweetest of topics, and He could find none sweeter than His own person and work: with an eye to these we should always search the Word. O for grace to study the Bible with Jesus as both our teacher and our lesson!

  • Jeremiah
    Chapter 15

    1 Then said the LORD unto me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet my mind could not be toward this people: cast them out of my sight, and let them go forth.

    2 And it shall come to pass, if they say unto thee, Whither shall we go forth? then thou shalt tell them, Thus saith the LORD; Such as are for death, to death; and such as are for the sword, to the sword; and such as are for the famine, to the famine; and such as are for the captivity, to the captivity.

    3 And I will appoint over them four kinds, saith the LORD: the sword to slay, and the dogs to tear, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the earth, to devour and destroy.

    4 And I will cause them to be removed into all kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh the son of Hezekiah king of Judah, for that which he did in Jerusalem.

    5 For who shall have pity upon thee, O Jerusalem? or who shall bemoan thee? or who shall go aside to ask how thou doest?

    6 Thou hast forsaken me, saith the LORD, thou art gone backward: therefore will I stretch out my hand against thee, and destroy thee; I am weary with repenting.

    7 And I will fan them with a fan in the gates of the land; I will bereave them of children, I will destroy my people, since they return not from their ways.

    8 Their widows are increased to me above the sand of the seas: I have brought upon them against the mother of the young men a spoiler at noonday: I have caused him to fall upon it suddenly, and terrors upon the city.

    9 She that hath borne seven languisheth: she hath given up the ghost; her sun is gone down while it was yet day: she hath been ashamed and confounded: and the residue of them will I deliver to the sword before their enemies, saith the LORD.

    10 Woe is me, my mother, that thou hast borne me a man of strife and a man of contention to the whole earth! I have neither lent on usury, nor men have lent to me on usury; yet every one of them doth curse me.

    11 The LORD said, Verily it shall be well with thy remnant; verily I will cause the enemy to entreat thee well in the time of evil and in the time of affliction.

    12 Shall iron break the northern iron and the steel?

    13 Thy substance and thy treasures will I give to the spoil without price, and that for all thy sins, even in all thy borders.

    14 And I will make thee to pass with thine enemies into a land which thou knowest not: for a fire is kindled in mine anger, which shall burn upon you.

    15 O LORD, thou knowest: remember me, and visit me, and revenge me of my persecutors; take me not away in thy longsuffering: know that for thy sake I have suffered rebuke.

    16 Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.

    17 I sat not in the assembly of the mockers, nor rejoiced; I sat alone because of thy hand: for thou hast filled me with indignation.

    18 Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, which refuseth to be healed? wilt thou be altogether unto me as a liar, and as waters that fail?

    19 Therefore thus saith the LORD, If thou return, then will I bring thee again, and thou shalt stand before me: and if thou take forth the precious from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth: let them return unto thee; but return not thou unto them.

    20 And I will make thee unto this people a fenced brasen wall: and they shall fight against thee, but they shall not prevail against thee: for I am with thee to save thee and to deliver thee, saith the LORD.

    21 And I will deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem thee out of the hand of the terrible.

  • When God brought Israel out of Egypt, in the third month of their wanderings, He dictated to Moses those laws we now call the “Ten Commandments.” The fourth among them was to “remember the sabbath day” (Ex. 20:8). God expected on the seventh day of the week that the Israelites should rest, just as He had done on the day after the six days of creation (Ex. 20:11).

    God knew, since He created man, that man could not work every day without respite. But in time, the Jewish leadership took this commandment much further than God had intended. As such, Jesus corrected them saying, “the Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath”(Mk. 2:27). The day was set apart for us, as we are to be for God.

    What is often missed in considering the sabbath and its rest, especially by those now who still expect it to be observed according to the law, is that the seventh-day sabbath was merely a shadow of our true sabbath rest - our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

    As Jesus preached to the masses, “come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest” (Mt. 11:28). True rest is found in Christ. As the author of Hebrews explains, “there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God” (Heb. 4:9). Looked at in context, this verse is about entering God’s true rest, entering His promised land, being found in Christ.

    The truth sabbath is not a specific day of the week, or a special holy day - our True Sabbath is Jesus Himself, and we are to “fear if, while a promise remains of entering His rest, any one of you may seem to have come short of it” (Heb. 4:1).

    Brethren, always remember, “we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God” (Heb. 4:14), who also called Himself the “Lord…of the Sabbath” (Mk. 2:28). And our High Priest, Who Himself is Lord of the Sabbath, is indeed our great Sabbath rest.

    "There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God." Hebrews 4:9

    How different will be the state of the believer in heaven from what it is here! Here he is born to toil and suffer weariness, but in the land of the immortal, fatigue is never known. Anxious to serve his Master, he finds his strength unequal to his zeal: his constant cry is, "Help me to serve Thee, O my God." If he be thoroughly active, he will have much labour; not too much for his will, but more than enough for his power, so that he will cry out, "I am not wearied of the labour, but I am wearied in it." Ah! Christian, the hot day of weariness lasts not for ever; the sun is nearing the horizon; it shall rise again with a brighter day than thou hast ever seen upon a land where they serve God day and night, and yet rest from their labours. Here, rest is but partial, there, it is perfect. Here, the Christian is always unsettled; he feels that he has not yet attained. There, all are at rest; they have attained the summit of the mountain; they have ascended to the bosom of their God. Higher they cannot go. Ah, toil-worn labourer, only think when thou shalt rest for ever! Canst thou conceive it? It is a rest eternal; "a rest that" remaineth. "Here, my best joys bear" mortal "on their brow; my fair flowers fade; my dainty cups are drained to dregs; my sweetest birds fall before Death's arrows; my most pleasant days are shadowed into nights; and the flood-tides of my bliss subside into ebbs of sorrow; but there, everything is immortal; the harp abides unrusted, the crown unwithered, the eye undimmed, the voice unfaltering, the heart unwavering, and the immortal being is wholly absorbed in infinite delight. Happy day! happy! when mortality shall be swallowed up of life, and the Eternal Sabbath shall begin.
