THE BOOK OF JEREMIAH LIFE LESSONS IN PLANS AND PURPOSES

Original Link INTRODUCTION Mon peuple, mon peuple what are we six months late however better late than never. I tell you God knows our times and seasons. This is certainly not my first or second or even third time reading the book of Jeremiah but never has the book of Jeremiah taken on such significance. It was indeed my delight reading the book. In fact, if I was to retitle my blog post I would rename it The Book of Jeremiah- God and I Straight Up or Straight Talk. Now I know why people do not read the book because it proves that God does communicate with us and wants to communicate with us. It also proves that God talks straight. Everything Jeremiah said was told to him by God. I really enjoyed reading it and found many Gems, prayer points and Messianic prophecies which I will be sharing as we continue in this blog series. Anyway to sort of tidy up my introduction let me go back to give another section of my trip to the United States of America. The problem is that the last part of my trip was so disjointed. I had to be going back and forth to Chicago and Minnesota to make connections to get to other parts of the northern parts of the USA. Most of the time it was winter so I could not be doing much walking. I will try to do my best so that most of you can try and leave New York. Of course my FB posting on Las Vegas was hijacked from my email account. The Chinese, Indian and Pakistanis especially the Chinese they featured big in Las Vegas. Damn Mafias!! Then here it is: I am checking out Greyhound Lines in Canada only to find that as of May 2021 they closed their operations in Canada. They have an outstanding complaint for me from August 2019. I can understand why they eventually had to leave. Transportation in Canada is not like the USA; it is highly regulated. Although I am wondering when Metrolinx is going to reach Ottawa. It has reached as far as Peterborough by bus. The immigrants do not even realize that they are their worst enemies when it comes to living in Canada. The more you spread out the better it is for you. There is such a thing called Equalization Payments. All the Provinces are supposed to have more or less the same standard of living in Canada. If it is not so you put pressure on the system to put in the infrastructure. When everyone lives on top of each other in Toronto and the outskirts are empty they cannot justify equalization payment or even industries. Anyway back to my travels in the USA I had left you at Milwaukee, Wisconsin. They have a lovely intermodal hub in the city. This State reminds me of Germany. The emphasis is more on work and less on play. The place is nice and well laid out especially in the farming districts. Milwaukee is very well serviced in terms of bus but on the outskirts the Jefferson line seems to be the link between the different towns. While this is nice it tends to make transportation cost expensive. Moving right along, I tell you I was reading a book entitled The Coaching Habit Say Less, Ask More & Change the Way You Lead Forever by Michael Bungay Stanier. The book has some useful information but I had to just browse through it because I did not like how it was compiled. It has too many things trying to grab my attention. I like Times New Roman font. If you are getting fancier than Calibri and Arial you have lost me especially with these new gothic type things. However, I would like to share two things I learnt from the book I found most interesting. The author has some nice illustrations. The first is that he said he was a law student who was sued by his teacher for defamation of character. I am still laughing. The second, is a lovely quotation by George Bernard Shaw ‘The reasonable man adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.’ Put simply you cannot just accept things, change comes because of resistance. I tell you people last night the police ejected me from the airport by bursting into the restroom while I was still on the toilet. They said ‘you have been in there for twenty seven minutes.’ I said, really I do not time the flow. It does as it pleases. They eventually opened the door and came in. My bodily functions just took their own time, they were in no hurry. The three of them stood in the restroom conversing while I was on the toilet doing my business. Then they disappeared while I was on my way out with them. One fellow’s shirt was marked Sheriff. I certainly would not like his job. Ejecting ladies out of restrooms in the early morning. It is a dog’s life. Then I took a bus and sat down because my feet were tired. I forgot that I was not in Europe. At this hour of the night no one collected any fares. The driver asked me if I was not going to pay. I told her yes, when I was getting off. In addition, the lady had the air conditioning on in the cold early morning. The bus stopped at a particular stop and I got up and paid. Next thing I knew the bus had stopped and two security people came on. Accusing me of being in dispute with the driver. I said ‘What?’ I was in dispute because I had not paid my fare and she had called them. They ejected me off the bus. The bus driver was told not to go any further. I told them all, they were evil and wicked black people that is why I avoided them all. It was right at a hospital across from Whole Foods Market on the way to University of Wisconsin and Milwaukee. The next thing I saw was an ambulance. I paid none of them any mind because it was all planned. There was a Catholic institution right beside the hospital. I walked a little up the road then turned back and held my seat at some Coffee Colectivo across from a twenty four hour gas station. The University Campuses are normally very quiet and they have their own security. If it is a forward looking university which gets its money legally they will not bother you eg university of Santa Barbara - California. The other ones are a nuisance. Of course because the Indians, Pakistanis and Chinese are here even though I have one pair of pants they have placed all their substance on my pants while I was sleeping and destroyed my last pair of pants again. I cannot buy more than one at a time because they keep destroying them. They want me to wear pants so they can get into my panties at night to remove my wallet. I refuse to wear those pants anymore. I have to go search for another nice high waisted pants again. They are the most expensive jeans. Can you imagine spending all that money only for your garment to be deliberately destroyed by crooks. I am still really very angry about my two pants which I bought from Addition Elle in Canada which they have destroyed. They are two of the best pairs of jeans I have had to date. When I was in Indianapolis they stole my African Travel Guide book that I am reading in preparation for my trip to that side of the world. When I went to the hotel, the Concierge was giving me arguments. I said just tell the crooks the next city I reach I will be going to the police to report my book stolen. It is obvious that the police are working for the criminals because I am not doing anything but they follow me everywhere and those who are doing all the criminality are sending them after me. The next day I was on the Greyhound and found my book in the bag. Now the Milwaukee bus system is refusing to take my $4 because they want to over charge me by $1. It is pathetic how the people in the system have to lie to keep their jobs. Then people have decided that I now need a lawyer so yesterday I was stuck on the seventeenth floor of a building with a law firm and today they dropped me in front of the next one. That is certainly a come down from 2011 when I was rejected by every law firm in Toronto, Canada. I mean everyone. The only one who would help decided that I had to agree with anything they said before they would take my case. I will keep you posted while the white man continues to analyze me while I use his library. Pastor Kerr, good to see you looking handsome as per usual! Good to see you people are allowing the Pakistanis and Indians to do their own dirty work. This lady picked me up at Walmart this morning and followed straight to the bus stop. I saw her in Walmart talking to herself. She did not pay any fare. However, last night I was ejected from the airport again and thrown off the bus near a cemetery. We know the connotations. The last time someone challenged me in Chicago, I just said I practice planned parenthood, I am still planning. I went into the cemetery and did my exercise and then started walking from around 11:30 p.m. until around 2:50 a.m. I had a mask in the airport. I had to throw it away immediately and I realized it was laced with germs. Yes, people I had to walk from near the airport to Wisconsin Avenue via sixth street. This time it was through the South American Quarter. They really had a very high opinion of me. While I was walking I was thinking to myself Raphleta you are either doing something very good or very bad when all nations and people who have to flee in desperation from persecution through all types of perils have so much to say about you. Reminds me of when I passed through Effingham, I stopped at the Roman Catholic Church in the middle of the city. It was a South American service. Would you believe at the end of the service they just served the wafer for communion? I noticed that it was mostly the children who went up and realized that after I left they served the proper communion. I know they like myself not into the foolishness of a dry wafer for communion. I am reminded of this scripture with all these people up here in Milwaukee pursuing me Proverbs 26 verse 27. Robert Nesta Marley Whosoever Diggeth a Pit! I am off to try and complete an article before they kick me out of the library. Seems we Jamiacans are always undergoing oppression that is why we have so many revolutionary songs. Lord help my Holy Ghost!! The illustrations are so nice I wanted to put them all!! Sorry for those of you who do not like Rastas he penned the song. I tell you people after a very stressful journey on the Jefferson Lines. I booked through Greyhound but they throw me on whatever bus they desire. They decided that they were going to expand my body again. They have this thing which they put on the seat. I told you about it from Quebec. The same strategy. Then the crooked Pakistanis put more poison on my toe after I cleaned it up with the wafer and communion wine. Last night I had to use garlic to take out the poison again. They are trying very hard to destroy my feet. Then the first shop I bought from in Minneapolis decided to steal my fifty cents. I bought some soup at Lunds and Byerly’s at 12 South and 12 North.They charged me $6.49 instead of $5.99. All the other prices were exactly like Whole Foods except the medium bowl because that is the one I buy. I just asked God to dry them up. I also left a tract with a little fellow in the store. He was quite professional. Then I reached the station at Nicollet Mall and 5th Street East, left my bag and was trying to map out my route by looking at the route map at the station. People have been advised not to tell you anything. When I returned to my bags they were gone. I looked right, I looked left. I saw something like my bags on feet. I looked very closely and realized that they were indeed my bags going up the road with three fellows. I ran them down and told the first fellow to gimme mi bag.’ He resisted and I was insistent. He released them, then the oldest I dragged one of my bags from him. Then he continued moving and I realized that it was my clothes bag he still had on his cart. I had to drag that one from him again. Then they were telling me that the bags were there and they did not see anyone. I said what? Did you ask to say if the person was nearby? They said they were taking them to the government department. I went into my bag and said, ‘unuh si dis unuh coulda lose unuh life.’ A green line came then and they all ran into it laughing. Damn Canadian hired thieves!! I really do not leave my bags unattended only in the supermarket and at the airport because they always have security and cameras. Now I know people are hard after my bags. They are destroying them inch by inch. Especially now that I will be leaving North America shortly. Anyway people, Minneapolis/St Paul are very nice cities. I am sorry I was not here in the summer or spring. Right now it is covered by snow. I see Canada has some serious influence up here. They have a place called little Canada. I really have a problem with the USA. The money is not trickling down to some states. Milwaukee is also very nice. It reminded me of Germany. Everytime I travelled the city I would be reminded of Berlin or Munich. They seem to be a very industrious city not a whole lot of nyammy nyammy (eating) just like Germany. Plus most of the towns seem to have some sort of transportation. Well people my last pair of jeans is disappearing off my body. I have to go find another one. People you need to come to the Mall of America talk about big things. Vision, vision. I was thrown out of my nice warm accommodations in the cold, Canadian style. Let us say I was introduced to the homeless colony all over Minneapolis that night. Of course they tried to abduct me again. I had to ask the bus driver why these white people did not leave me alone after three months locked down in Sweden which I have been very traumatized by. What else do they want? I ended up in a stairwell by 28th Avenue by the Metro Station. I thought I was alone until I started praying and singing on the top of my voice. Have to keep warm, people. Singing and dancing and praying does the trick. When you are in the heat of battle you forget the cold. By the time I said as it was in the days of Joshua, set ambushments, send some Holy Ghost boulders and annihilate them swiftly. I was praying about the fighting in Ethiopia. I looked through the door at one lady who was moving with her cart. Then one white lady came to stand by me. Then one fellow whom I did not know left at three thirty. I did not know so many people were there. They were not the only ones. You had one young man walking around with his flask. I ignored him. I tell you homelessness in the black community is a serious problem. On the train I sat near one person who looked like a male pretending to be a female. It turned up in the library so I gave it a tract. Lord help my Holy GHost!! For those of you who are into real estate there is a piece of property in Bloomington near the Mall of America. Then in Wisconsin there are some retail opportunities near the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee. I tell you Canada is well invested up here in Minnesota. I am off people before the Security has to ask me to leave. I sent out my tract after publishing it in Blogger and WordPress. In Bismarck, North Dakota. Well people, I should have told you yesterday that I had left Minneapolis, Minnesota. I tell you they came after me again after I released the tract. I said to myself while I was in the Restroom. Daddy, I did not do any exercise this morning. I should have kept my thoughts to myself. After I left the airport I took the train to Mall of America and then to the Walmart they were well prepared for me. The night before one white guy ate off all my food I had purchased for my trip. I just gave him what was left and laughed to myself. The Bible says if a man is hungry and he eats then he should be pardoned. I was happy to claim my blessings under the circumstances. At Walmart they devised this elaborate scheme with the Thais to return my money. Yes people, the Thailandese decided that they are taking me on. I said not a problem bread for me. Daddy needs to judge some more gods. The same night my food was eaten they had one black lady stalking me. She came on the bus and put on one piece of show using a lot of curse words and talking about how she is annihilating luci. I watched for a time she was so boring she put me to sleep. The next thing I remembered was the driver waking me up and telling me I had reached the last stop. Luckily the last stop was where I was getting off because when I get the chance to sleep I sleep like Peter in the book of Acts only angels can wake me up. Then I was at another bus stop. This lady turned up again,before she got into her strides I just got off the bus and onto another one. Luckily the buses in Minneapolis run frequently and are bountiful. One of the best in the north. The fare is extremely inexpensive also. In fact most people do not even pay. They told one Ethiopian bus driver to start asking for fare. I was sorry for him because most people came on and had no intention to pay any fare. I sat and I laughed. I tell you all these Nazis and Mafias do is try to mess up people’s business. Then they decided to adjust the train schedule as per usual. First, they tried to trap me in St. Paul. I was not having any of that. I just came off the train and returned to Minneapolis. I had one black fool came into the train and decided to serenade me. Then one came in with all his worldly possessions, bags upon bags and a cart. I tell you people fight for your democracies black people up here in the north have some serious challenges. Let me get back to Walmart. I ended up walking out with the grocery and the money. That white fellow’s bill was paid in full. Then they decided to start diverting the bus I wanted. I had to end up running down a bus after walking to another bus stop. Luckily there was a little lady at the bus stop who insisted on the bus waiting for me. I pray God will bless her in all her endeavours. On the bus into Bismarck fortunately I slept all the way while airing my laundry and inhaling the infected air. Canada is trying everything to give me the Canadian Virus. Obviously, they have forgotten that I was the one that had the first trial in Quebec. In that very cold winter. I am immune to the germ. Lord help my Holy Ghost! When I reached Bismarck, North Dakota the buses were nowhere to be found and most of them stopped at five or six p.m. I saw two across the gas station. They left! I thank the people at the bus station for their thoughtfulness. They had a map of the city on the wall. I had to walk from 34th street all the way to fifth to get to know the city. On my way someone had a message about the laundromat and of course being Caucasian they had to put an insult in the message about dog wash. I just went and finished drying my laundry. I met a Native Indian who was quite gracious and commended me on my singing. For the rest of the night I bounced around the town because I was on my way to the Airport and I bumped my foot. When I looked on the ground I was wondering where exactly did I bump my foot. I turned back and just sat under a bridge and did some praying about some pressing issues. Then I returned to the Kum and Go and the Courthouse and Postal Service. I tell you Courthouses have become a very welcome sight in my world. Nobody wants their license plate or image on a courthouse camera. Thank God! I am not disturbed when I am by a courthouse. This one also had the Post Office attached to it. I remembered how the postal service in Canada saved me on many occasions. The Sanford Hospital Emergency room is in the vicinity but my experience with hospitals is not pleasant. They all would love to stick me illegally so I just use their facilities and leave and do not give the Nazis and Mafias a chance to have them throw me out in the cold. I have enough Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde Chinese, Pakistani and Indian sticking me with all kinds of illegal substances. I actually went there in the early morning and had a cup of tea and decided to watch some American News while I waited for the Library to open and of course they ran me out after about half an hour. I advised, I was just waiting for the Library to open. Then another lady came and asked us to leave after another half an hour. By this time a Native American had joined us. He is another story. North Dakota is bordered by the Canadian Provinces Manitoba and Saskatchewan in the North. Of course it is not as fancy as Minneapolis but then again the things you see in Minneapolis you do not see here. It is also cold because of the Canadian weather. Lots of wide open spaces. They build flat instead of high. If you do not mind being a bit chilly then there is room up here for you. Another thing I am wondering about is why there is no euphoria about the win of the Democrats. Everything up here is very low keyed. The only thing which seems to be marching on is the Canadian Virus. I told you people the injections cannot be widely spread because one has to be stored at a super low temperature and the other not much different. The virus was created in a cold country. Chi-ching for the Pharmaceutical companies especially for the people who released the formula for the vaccine. Any way Africa you let us continue to build while the white people continue to fight among themselves. I hope all of you in the diaspora have supported the Ethiopian war effort. We also need to support the completion of the dam and let the soldiers have a very merry Christmas. For you Jamaicans I see that we shall shortly not be known as the land of wood and water but the land of sun and plains. Our government will be selling off the Blue Mountain Range shortly. We in the diaspora will have nothing to return to. Lord help My Holy Ghost!! I must try to help with the situation with the dogs in Jamaica. Okay people, when I went to Canada and my relationship deteriorated with the Caucasians, one of the things that they did was to come at me with their dogs. The men started coming and then they looked into my eyes and saw that I was not going to back down from them and their dogs. The men then sent the female. I mean these ladies came with all types of dogs. One of the things that the principality of Mississauga was having fun stating is that in Canada dogs have more rights than people. I paid then no mind. Then I left Canada and returned, this time the Pakistanis and Indians decided to take me on especially the wicked Pakistanis. My first encounter with the dog was one Saturday morning while I was jogging. I lived on Baycliffe Crescent which was approximately a ten minutes walk from my house. So most mornings I would go jog and then do my devotion. This Saturday morning while I was jogging I came around the activity centre located on the property with my head down. When I raised my head all I saw was a big dog coming at me. I stopped, then I heard the owner who was an evil Pakistani smiling and saying I should not move by this time the dog was sitting in front of me. He came and fetched him and was smiling. I was so mad. I continued jogging and then did my devotion and left. The next incident was I was lying on my back at the same park and I just heard ‘Raphleta look up.’ When I looked up there was a dog coming towards me. This time it was a lady crooked Pakistanis skinning her teeth. The look I gave her, if look could have killed she would have dropped dead on the spot. Then I noticed that many of them came with their dogs on and off the leash but I was prepared for them and their dogs. The last encounter I had with one of these Pakistanis was in St. Catharines. A young man came with the dog off the leash and the dog was heading towards me while I was walking to the library at the Kiwanis Aquatic Centre. I said let him come, me sey mek him come!! He got the message and called off his dog and went on his way. I said all of that to say that these people, the Pakistanis, are not someone you joke with. Your Ministers of government have obviously taken peoples things and cannot fulfill promises. They are going to use any weapon they have. Those little mongrels that you have in Jamaica when they are drugged by these experts they are killing machines. What do I know about drugs? They drugged me a couple of nights ago in North Dakota and went into my panty and tore it up and went into my pouch and destroyed my pen and took out the information they needed. When I was in Sweden they drugged me almost every night. I had to be careful what I ate. These guys have no scruples. My advice to those of you in those constituencies where your Member of Parliament is culpable and you see your dogs acting strangely call the JSPCA to have the dog put down. Then I was reading about the man at Treasure Beach in St. Elizabeth who disappeared while swimming. I heard one explanation was sharks. People, where do sharks come from in Jamaican waters? It must be a human shark! I have lived in Jamaica and the only time I know about shark meat is when the fishermen bring it home. Well people we will catch up. I am in Idaho at this point in time. I dropped into Billings, Montana on Saturday November 21, I had to run for my life. Now I realize why Canada was introducing Montana to me. I had to pull out my placard after they blocked me from booking my trip out of the city. They even closed down the library on me. I said I am out of here. The whole Cherokee tribe was following me around. Mi gone!! Well people, I am on my way out of Las Vegas. A very beautiful city with Spanish like architecture. I keep wondering to myself why most of you people are so jam packed in some cities and there is wide open space in other sections of America. By the way, I was driving on Saturday and saw this number advertised for a new development. I have not analyzed anything. It is 877-626-9323. I tell you the people in the mountain area have taken criminality to the next level. Of course, I already told you that I had to pick up my feet in my hand and run and leave Montana. Then I dropped into Idaho Falls, Idaho. Lord help my Holy Ghost! By the way I now have some red beard and unkept men following me around. It was these persons who went into my panty in North Dakota and destroyed my panty and stole my bank password. I am also realizing that they took out the Euros out of my coat which I have been travelling with from Berlin, Germany. They gave me the coat and placed some money in it. I am trying to find the opening and to date I have not. There was a hole in the pocket which I sewed up. However, these red bearded fellows seem to be Germans so they took out the money and placed something else in there. In Idaho Falls they took warfare to another level. I purchased my ticket to leave and they allowed the bus to leave me. I was right at the station and waiting for the bus to come and no one announced that the bus had arrived. I got a replacement ticket for the next day. The gentleman I spoke to said they would close at seven and re-open at 9 p.m. When I returned at 10 p.m there was this red bearded fellow who did not even ask me for my ticket but just called the police. Oh I should have told you there was a police on site from about 4:30 p.m. He offered me refreshments and was telling me that he knew that I had gone through some.. After the bus left. I told him I did not deal in hypocrisy. These days when I see the police they turn my stomach. It is a sure sign that something unpleasant will be happening. Back to my story, of course they came. It was all planned. Listened to my side of the story politely and then listened to the crook behind the counter and then asked him what he wanted to do. The fact that I had a ticket did not matter. I will be writing about the oligopolies in public transportation in the USA. This service is called the Salt Lake Express. This also happened in Minnesota with the Greyhound. You know because I had written that the latter is not like Amtrak, once you have a ticket you can stay at the Greyhound Station. In Chicago I had no problem but in Minnesota one lady who said she was descended from Thailandese parents told me that the depot closed at 1 a.m.. I left and returned the next morning. From that the criminality with these Thailandese have multiplied. They are worse than the Chinese. In order not to waste time and keep out of the cold, I went to the all night laundry and washed my coat. It was then that I discovered that all my Euros were no longer in my coattail. The Salt Lake City Express bus took us to Salt Lake City. I got off at the Walmart just to get something to eat. I have to be very careful of the Walmart nuts. It seems the Chinese are poisoning the ones I eat. I left Idaho Falls immediately because once again the people at Melaleuca defrauded me my money. I will show you the invoice. Salt Lake City in this part of the world is an up and coming city. It is in a valley like Billings, Montana and there seems to be a boom going on. I had a lovely Thanksgiving meal. Can you imagine on Thanksgiving day they just shut down the whole bus system. It is the first time I am seeing this. Bus systems are scaled down on a holiday; it is an essential service. I got a ride from the Airport with the Salt Lake Express. Then a lady gave me a ride to the restaurant I was going to 64 street and State. It was a lovely meal. I cannot eat much these days. I had to lay down on the grass after the meal. I lie there and keep saying now I realize why the Bible says gluttony is a sin. Lord help my Holy Ghost!! Then I started trekking. I knew the Nazis and Mafias would abandon me up there in the South West. Luckily for me the city has a lovely train system as such I did not have much interaction with the people in the system because my first day in town I went to the Intermodal Station and they told me the restrooms were only for GreyHound passengers. These days I just tell people I am overloaded with lies. I cannot take any more, have my excuse. I started trekking at about 5 p.m. or before because it was not dark, that is from 6400 street South to 1300 street South 300 West. By around 12:30 a.m. after many turns and curves I reached 2200 South. I decided to rest my legs and felt the unction to pray. It was a large furniture store, Richard Weilly. The building was well lit. It was the commercial part of town. I think the Central Pointe Trax Station was nearby. I did pray and set a few things in order.. The Nazi came out of his car. These days mi nuh business! Then after praying and singing. I moved on at 1800 South. I stopped at Bank of America and found that my card was totally blocked. Bank of America decided to add a little intrigue and used only French. Then I moved on to Brighton Bank. This time I did not take any chances since the building was well lit. I remembered what took place in Quebec. The bank just swallowed up my card. I moved on to Walmart entering it via Hope Avenue. By this time it was minutes to 3 a.m. as I entered and settled down a police car came to me. What am I doing there? I am waiting for the sale. He was watching the door and did not know about the sale. I could not stay. The Nazis and Mafias make it up as they go along. The primary principle or non principle being nothing is off limits. There is nothing about scruples or integrity. I said I am waiting on the sale and I am not going anywhere. People, it was cold below zero and my cold feet felt like someone had poured freezo on it because the cruel Pakistanis and Indians keep putting poison on my right feet and little toe in order to destroy my feet. As I have told you before, you do not have to touch this toe for it to hurt and it hurts the worse when you are in the cold. I stood there praying until 5 a.m by this time the Nazis and Mafias had rallied their little Minions so there was a line. I waited until the line had gone in. There was one officer outside by the door and one inside. After using the washroom and thawing out my hands and going to electronics there were two more. To be very frank with you it is becoming such a common practise seeing them that when I see them it does not seem strange anymore. There was an elderly one whom I had encountered at the Airport who had accosted me in the bathroom. As far as I am concerned most of them have no integrity. He stood in the bathroom until I completed packing my bags and putting on my shoes. Everytime i enter a restroom and the lights can be turned off I do. The perverted Nazis and Mafias are trying to get more compromising pictures so they send people and police at all hours of the morning and night to harass me in the restrooms. In Indianapolis the police wanted to know who I had with me in the bathroom? and what I was doing in the bathroom? I almost asked him if he did not have a wife. I thought discretion was the better part of valour. Back to the Walmart story I went to the lady at the counter, an elderly black woman. I said may I have a list of all the HP computers you have and the prices. I thought this was a simple request. She went to the cabinet and brought out a computer. She had none of the electronic scanners that all Walmart workers are so proud of. Then a Caucasian came around with the Team Lead badge on her bosom and she did the scanning. I said I am not interested in that one. The black lady returned it and said I was to tell her what I wanted. By this time I started saying sic him Bruno, sic him Blackie, sic him Brownie woof woof woof. Then she went around the other side and carried another computer. And the white lady scanned and she was talking to the police and they were laughing. I just said let me get out of here. I continued to say sic him and woof woof and left one little criminal Thailandese lady standing near the police. I just looked at her and said no integrity! I pushed my shopping cart, picked up a grapefruit and walked out stating that I do not want to be tainted with the criminality of the white man. In my world there was no scarcity. I returned to the airport, booked my passage and sorted out my bank card. The latter was another thing at Walmart, I had tried to use the telephone and there was a criminal on the line trying to mine my information again. I jumped on the bus at 10:00 and left Salt Lake City.I stopped briefly in St. George, Utah. It is a fantastic city. Then here I go again everywhere I go they lock down the library on me. In Idaho falls they had children playing games on the computer but they ran down my time when i started tweeting. In St. George they were on an extended holiday. Here in Las Vegas the main Library was full of nothing but criminals. I tried to get a computer at the Walmart but they had no Hewlett Packard plus they sent a teenager to sell me the machine. Anyway people first things first! I have been anticipating the month of December all year. I have been giving thanks since November 29 and my thanksgiving prayer would have been the first thing I would have written on the computer on December 1. Anyway it is now December 7 and it is the first time I have had the opportunity to use a computer except for that brief moment in Denver, Colorado. On Sunday morning in Denver I almost had to take out a Security Guard. People are very desperate especially these little crooked Thailandese who have no scruples, I am walking circumspectly. My thanksgiving for 2020! Father i want to thank you for the month of December Father, I want to thank you for the month of December. Father, I thank you because it is only because of your goodness and mercy that I am still standing and can hold up my hands and give you thanks and praise! Daddy, how can I forget January I was in London! Kick and thump and biff baff!! Daddy I give you thanks! Daddy, how can I forget February! This time I was in France Father the further destruction of my teeth and more slashes in my feet in Amsterdam! Daddy I give you thanks!! Daddy March, April May up to June 11 I was illegally locked down in Sweden. Father, I have proven for myself that the people who know their God shall indeed do exploits. The only reason why I am here able to give thanks is because I do know You as the King of all kings, The Mighty God and the One who intervenes in the affairs of men. Daddy, June, July and August more persecution in Canada. Everything that is illegal was done to me in Ottawa. Father, I thank you. Daddy, then we moved on to the USA August 8, to finish the tour we started in November 2017 and had to leave in June 2018 because all my documents were stolen. Father the persecution continues but Daddy we are still here giving thanks! Father, we look onto new things in the year 2021! Daddy, we continue to give thanks and praise! Father, we continue to lift up your name! Father, we continue to grow in our relationship with you!! Daddy, we made it! We survive! WHOOPPPPEEEE!!! Okay now people I have quite a few things to write including my Blog but I cannot do it in Walmart anymore. They are being persecuted too much!! I am now in Des Moines, Iowa. I have to tell you about Wyoming. Fifty brothers, fifty different minds that is all I can say about the USA. I am going to have to start charging people for stealing my IP. In the fullness of time I will write everything! I tell you people I am here in Minnesota, Minneapolis. I just missed my Jefferson Line bus. I was late, not a problem but the crooked Thai put me on the 1 a.m. bus because the criminals have their plans to try and assault me again. Since last night the local bus abandoned me at 11 p.m, some crooked police have been following me everywhere I go. In Omaha they tried to assault me again at the Greyhound office. The unscrupulous people don’t seem to tell the people that I wear a whole lot of clothes. The crooked Politicians in Jamaica are very involved. They keep sending these criminals with a lock hairstyle.They are even after removing my hair. I am not a lesbian, I will never be a lesbian. If you hear that I have killed someone it is true because no sleeping gas is going to work on me tonight. I only have one hour on the computer so I have to be quick. Going into one state some lesbians and homosexuals attempted to assault me. They did not get anywhere so they poisoned my food. Then the next bus trip they sent this little dirty bottom black fellow and a South American. They did not get anywhere. They invaded my Motel room in Wheatland, Wyoming. That is why I refuse to waste my money. All I can do is do my laundry and have a bath. I dare not eat anything or sleep. They changed all the channels and everywhere I touched my hands started to pain me with the chemicals they had daubed everywhere. Keep me in your prayers people because your evil and wicked Politicians in Jamaica are willing to sacrifice me for more money and fame. I am trying to buy a computer but am being seriously blocked. In Christ all things are possible. I Have still not had a chance to complete the post I started in Las Vegas. Of course the internet Psychologists are all over the place with their criminality. Some labrish here people but before I get into the meat of the matter some housekeeping. I need to change out my computer again. The Talibans are editing my Newspapers. The last Editorial I have of the Gleaner must be about April 1. Then the Cartoons from both papers have stopped updating. Anyway I was just reading an article about the Farmers market. I wanted to know how often this event happened. I also wanted to know if it took the place of the Liguanea Market? People, I am Jamaican. I have not only walked the real estate, I have driven the real estate. I noticed you Cameramen are avoiding taking any pictures of shopping in Kingston. Glad to know there is a new Plaza in Portland. It seems it is still inadequate on crowded weekends. Let us move on to the labrish now people. I bought a pot at the Salvation Army. I have to just discard it like I discarded everything I had when I was returning to Jamaica and the Nazis and Mafias told the people who I was donating my things to that I should pay the transportation cost. I just discarded what I could and left the rest. Anyway after cooking in this pot at the Motel I decided to return it because I could not walk around with a clanging pot and it was not a non-stick pot. It burned up my Gungo peas soup. When I purchased the pot on Saturday, I asked the Indian personnel what was the return policy. She said I just had to return it with my receipt. I said okay and left the store. I have been having some extremely poor experience with the Salvation Army in North America. However, because I do not want to get into any skirmishes I have just been ignoring them. I went into the same store and they disguised jean pants pretending it was new with labels etc.. On close examination I realized it was a second hand pants they wanted to charge me Fifteen dollars for. After trying on about ten pants that was the only pair that fit. I just hissed my teeth and walked out of the store. This last time I returned they had removed all the pants that would fit. I have been locked out of their stores many times. The one in Ottawa sold me a Chinese shoe that almost crippled my feet. The shoes were full of poison. This was also done to me in London. I have bought a number of jeans which have lasted only a few days. The list goes on and on. Since I realize that they are no longer an independent organization and depend on government funding, I have ignored them. However, today when I went into the store they had this little Chinese come to tell me that the purchase of the pot was a final sale. I said, ‘No problem’. I left the pot and said I have my receipt you will hear from my lawyer.’ Suffice it to say I rolled up my receipt and placed it in my bag. When I was out at the bus stop this little Indian girl came with her shark. One Caucasian gentleman passed her and told her he liked it. I ignored them, it was very easy! A bus came and we both boarded. On reaching the terminal and sitting down and eating my grapes. I was now ready to load my Presto Card only to discover my purse missing. I said, God again!! Why won't these people leave my purse? Remember in Ottawa one other little female crook stole my purse so they could steal my Walmart receipt. When I realized the purse was missing by the method of deduction I realized what the little Cooleys are after. I have decided that this is the last time I enter the Salvation Army Thrift Store. Saving a few dollars is not worth the hassle. Then I realize they are calling me a shark. I am thanking them for the compliment. They are very good teachers. I remember the days when I had no money and had to be throwing away toiletries on a weekly basis and replace torn garments. Hundreds of dollars lost. I am learning very well from them. That is why I have to leave you black people. You will get me killed with your naivety. The person who came into my room last night while I slept ensured that my jean pants were well ripped. I am going to escalate the matter. As I said in the opening my News is being edited. One of the things about Canada is that criminality never ends. Let us cut it here. I will pick up with Wyoming in January. REFLECTIONS What can I say, people now that I am in the Book of Jeremiah. I am enjoying it so much I even listen to it on Audio Bible King James Version reading by Alexander Scourby. CRITICAL DEFINITIONS Book - a major division of a treatise or literary work the books of the Bible Jeremiah From the Hebrew name יִרְמְיָהוּ (Yirmiyahu) meaning "YAHWEH will exalt", from the roots רוּם (rum) meaning "to exalt" and יָה (yah) referring to the Hebrew God. This is the name of one of the major prophets of the Old Testament, the author of the Book of Jeremiah and the Book of Lamentations (supposedly). He lived to see the Babylonian destruction of Jerusalem in the 6th century BC. Life Tha animate existence or period of animate existence of an individual. (how long you live for) Lessons An amount of teaching given at one time, a period of learning or teaching Plans An intention or decision about what one is going to do Purposes The reason for which something is done or created or for which something exists HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE BOOK OF JEREMIAH Chapter 3 Israel is Shameless Verses 2 - 3 Shameless 2 Lift up thine eyes unto the high places, and see where thou hast not been lien with. In the ways hast thou sat for them, as the Arabian in the wilderness; and thou hast polluted the land with thy whoredoms and with thy wickedness. 3 Therefore the showers have been withholden, and there hath been no latter rain; and thou hadst a whore's forehead, thou refusedst to be ashamed. Call to Repentance Verse 6 - God complaining to Jeremiah 6 The Lord said also unto me in the days of Josiah the king, Hast thou seen that which backsliding Israel hath done? She is gone up upon every high mountain and under every green tree, and there hath played the harlot. Verse 12 -13 Acknowledgement 12 Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith the Lord; and I will not cause mine anger to fall upon you: for I am merciful, saith the Lord, and I will not keep anger forever. 13 Only acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou hast transgressed against the Lord thy God, and hast scattered thy ways to the strangers under every green tree, and ye have not obeyed my voice, saith the Lord. Verse 14 - 15 Compassionate God 14 Turn, O backsliding children, saith the Lord; for I am married unto you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion: 15 And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding. Verse 21 Like a Bible Scholar doing some cross referencing here! 21 A voice was heard upon the high places, weeping and supplications of the children of Israel: for they have perverted their way, and they have forgotten the Lord their God. Thought it was the same scripture in St. Matthew 2 verse 18 but there is a slight difference. In the first we have the people crying for the nation and in the latter we have mothers crying for their children. Just wanted to look bright!! Chapter 4 Israel is Shameless cont’d Verse 5 Imminent Invasion 5 Declare ye in Judah, and publish in Jerusalem; and say, Blow ye the trumpet in the land: cry, gather together, and say, Assemble yourselves, and let us go into the defenced cities. Verse 12 - 13 The Lord Speak Judgment 12 Even a full wind from those places shall come unto me: now also will I give sentence against them. 13 Behold, he shall come up as clouds, and his chariots shall be as a whirlwind: his horses are swifter than eagles. Woe unto us! for we are spoiled. Verse 22 - 26 Sorrow for the Doomed Nation 22 For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are sottish children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge. 23 I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light. 24 I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly. 25 I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled. 26 I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the Lord, and by his fierce anger. Chapter 5 The Justice of God’s Judgment Verse 21 - 22 Lack of vision of the people 21 Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not: 22 Fear ye not me? saith the Lord: will ye not tremble at my presence, which have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it: and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it? Chapter 6 Impending Destruction from the North Speaking directly of the destruction of Jerusalem Verse 13 - 15 Deceitful people 13 For from the least of them even unto the greatest of them every one is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely. 14 They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace. 15 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore they shall fall among them that fall: at the time that I visit them they shall be cast down, saith the Lord. Verse 20 God does not accept all Offerings 20 To what purpose cometh there to me incense from Sheba, and the sweet cane from a far country? your burnt offerings are not acceptable, nor your sacrifices sweet unto me. When I was writing this passage the Canadian Virus was ravaging the world. The Europeans had dropped me back in Canada on June 11and I was in Ottawa at the time of writing. At the time of typing in July I am in Toronto sitting before Walmart using their WiFi and electricity. I am sorry for you all because Walmart has nowhere else to go but up for helping this black woman. I will not tell you about Starbucks. I have to stop saying ‘Bless Mr. Schultz!’ Verses 24 - 25 Fear on every side 24 We have heard the fame thereof: our hands wax feeble: anguish hath taken hold of us, and pain, as of a woman in travail. 25 Go not forth into the field, nor walk by the way; for the sword of the enemy and fear is on every side. Chapter 7 Trusting in Lying Words Verses 3 - 11 Righteous God 3 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place. 4 Trust ye not in lying words, saying, The temple of the Lord, The temple of the Lord, The temple of the Lord, are these. 5 For if ye thoroughly amend your ways and your doings; if ye throughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbour; 6 If ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your hurt: 7 Then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, for ever and ever. 8 Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit. 9 Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye know not; 10 And come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations? 11 Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, even I have seen it, saith the Lord. The detriment of lying lips goes all the way to Chapter 8 verse 3. Chapter 8 The Peril of False Teaching Verses 4 - 9 Negative Effects of Sin 4 Moreover thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord; Shall they fall, and not arise? shall he turn away, and not return? 5 Why then is this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a perpetual backsliding? they hold fast deceit, they refuse to return. 6 I hearkened and heard, but they spake not aright: no man repented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? every one turned to his course, as the horse rusheth into the battle. 7 Yea, the stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times; and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the judgment of the Lord. 8 How do ye say, We are wise, and the law of the Lord is with us? Lo, certainly in vain made he it; the pen of the scribes is in vain. 9 The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the word of the Lord; and what wisdom is in them? Verses 18 - 22 The Prophet Mourns for the People (continued up to Chapter 9 verse 17) 18 When I would comfort myself against sorrow, my heart is faint in me. 19 Behold the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people because of them that dwell in a far country: Is not the Lord in Zion? is not her king in her? Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images, and with strange vanities? 20 The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved. 21 For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt; I am black; astonishment hath taken hold on me. 22 Is there no balm in Gilead; is there no physician there? why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered? Chapter 9 The Prophet Mourns for the People Verses 7 - 11 Deceit 7 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, Behold, I will melt them, and try them; for how shall I do for the daughter of my people? 8 Their tongue is as an arrow shot out; it speaketh deceit: one speaketh peaceably to his neighbour with his mouth, but in heart he layeth his wait. 9 Shall I not visit them for these things? saith the Lord: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this? 10 For the mountains will I take up a weeping and wailing, and for the habitations of the wilderness a lamentation, because they are burned up, so that none can pass through them; neither can men hear the voice of the cattle; both the fowl of the heavens and the beast are fled; they are gone. 11 And I will make Jerusalem heaps, and a den of dragons; and I will make the cities of Judah desolate, without an inhabitant. This passage reminds me of the people in Canada who are chasing me around. They are very deceptive. Verses 23 - 24 The People Mourn in Judgment/Trust in God 23 Thus saith the Lord, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches: 24 But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the Lord which exercises lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the Lord. Chapter 10 Idols and the True God Verses 23 - 25 Man cannot help Man 23 O Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps. 24 O Lord, correct me, but with judgment; not in thine anger, lest thou bring me to nothing. 25 Pour out thy fury upon the heathen that know thee not, and upon the families that call not on thy name: for they have eaten up Jacob, and devoured him, and consumed him, and have made his habitation desolate. Chapter 11 Conspiracy Verses 9 - 17 9 And the Lord said unto me, A conspiracy is found among the men of Judah, and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 10 They are turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers, which refused to hear my words; and they went after other gods to serve them: the house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant which I made with their fathers. 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. 15 What hath my beloved to do in mine house, seeing she hath wrought lewdness with many, and the holy flesh is passed from thee? when thou doest evil, then thou rejoicest. 16 The Lord called thy name, A green olive tree, fair, and of goodly fruit: with the noise of a great tumult he hath kindled fire upon it, and the branches of it are broken. 17 For the Lord of hosts, that planted thee, hath pronounced evil against thee, for the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have done against themselves to provoke me to anger in offering incense unto Baal. Verses 18 - 23 Jeremiah’s Life Threatened 18 And the Lord hath given me knowledge of it, and I know it: then thou shewedst me their doings. 19 But I was like a lamb or an ox that is brought to the slaughter; and I knew not that they had devised devices against me, saying, Let us destroy the tree with the fruit thereof, and let us cut him off from the land of the living, that his name may be no more remembered. 20 But, O Lord of hosts, that judgest righteously, that triest the reins and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them: for unto thee have I revealed my cause. 21 Therefore thus saith the Lord of the men of Anathoth, that seek thy life, saying, Prophesy not in the name of the Lord, that thou die not by our hand: 22 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, Behold, I will punish them: the young men shall die by the sword; their sons and their daughters shall die by famine: 23 And there shall be no remnant of them: for I will bring evil upon the men of Anathoth, even the year of their visitation. Chapter 12 Heart to Heart with God Verses 1 - 4 Jeremiah speaks 1 Righteous art thou, O Lord, when I plead with thee: yet let me talk with thee of thy judgments: Wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper? wherefore are all they happy that deal very treacherously? 2 Thou hast planted them, yea, they have taken root: they grow, yea, they bring forth fruit: thou art near in their mouth, and far from their reins. 3 But thou, O Lord, knowest me: thou hast seen me, and tried mine heart toward thee: pull them out like sheep for the slaughter, and prepare them for the day of slaughter. 4 How long shall the land mourn, and the herbs of every field wither, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein? the beasts are consumed, and the birds; because they said, He shall not see our last end. Verses 5 - 6 The Lord replies with this Popular Passage 5 If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? and if in the land of peace, wherein thou trustedst, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan? 6 For even thy brethren, and the house of thy father, even they have dealt treacherously with thee; yea, they have called a multitude after thee: believe them not, though they speak fair words unto thee. Verses 14 -17 The Vengeance of the Lord against those who use His people 14 Thus saith the Lord against all mine evil neighbours, that touch the inheritance which I have caused my people Israel to inherit; Behold, I will pluck them out of their land, and pluck out the house of Judah from among them. 15 And it shall come to pass, after that I have plucked them out I will return, and have compassion on them, and will bring them again, every man to his heritage, and every man to his land. 16 And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, The Lord liveth; as they taught my people to swear by Baal; then shall they be built in the midst of my people. 17 But if they will not obey, I will utterly pluck up and destroy that nation, saith the Lord. Chapter 13 Symbol of the Linen Sash and Wine Bottles Verses 1 - 11 Symbol of the Linen Sash 1 Thus saith the Lord unto me, Go and get thee a linen girdle, and put it upon thy loins, and put it not in water. 2 So I got a girdle according to the word of the Lord, and put it on my loins. 3 And the word of the Lord came unto me the second time, saying, 4 Take the girdle that thou hast got, which is upon thy loins, and arise, go to Euphrates, and hide it there in a hole of the rock. 5 So I went, and hid it by Euphrates, as the Lord commanded me. 6 And it came to pass after many days, that the Lord said unto me, Arise, go to Euphrates, and take the girdle from thence, which I commanded thee to hide there. 7 Then I went to Euphrates, and digged, and took the girdle from the place where I had hid it: and, behold, the girdle was marred, it was profitable for nothing. 8 Then the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, 9 Thus saith the Lord, After this manner will I mar the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem. 10 This evil people, which refuse to hear my words, which walk in the imagination of their heart, and walk after other gods, to serve them, and to worship them, shall even be as this girdle, which is good for nothing. 11 For as the girdle cleaveth to the loins of a man, so have I caused to cleave unto me the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah, saith the Lord; that they might be unto me for a people, and for a name, and for a praise, and for a glory: but they would not hear. Verse 12 -14 Symbol of Wine bottles 12 Therefore thou shalt speak unto them this word; Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Every bottle shall be filled with wine: and they shall say unto thee, Do we not certainly know that every bottle shall be filled with wine? 13 Then shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will fill all the inhabitants of this land, even the kings that sit upon David's throne, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, with drunkenness. 14 And I will dash them one against another, even the fathers and the sons together, saith the Lord: I will not pity, nor spare, nor have mercy, but destroy them. Verses 15 - 27 Pride Precedes Captivity 15 Hear ye, and give ear; be not proud: for the Lord hath spoken. 16 Give glory to the Lord your God, before he cause darkness, and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains, and, while ye look for light, he turn it into the shadow of death, and make it gross darkness. 17 But if ye will not hear it, my soul shall weep in secret places for your pride; and mine eye shall weep sore, and run down with tears, because the Lord's flock is carried away captive. 18 Say unto the king and to the queen, Humble yourselves, sit down: for your principalities shall come down, even the crown of your glory. 19 The cities of the south shall be shut up, and none shall open them: Judah shall be carried away captive all of it, it shall be wholly carried away captive. 20 Lift up your eyes, and behold them that come from the north: where is the flock that was given thee, thy beautiful flock? 21 What wilt thou say when he shall punish thee? for thou hast taught them to be captains, and as chief over thee: shall not sorrows take thee, as a woman in travail? 22 And if thou say in thine heart, Wherefore come these things upon me? For the greatness of thine iniquity are thy skirts discovered, and thy heels made bare. 23 Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil. 24 Therefore will I scatter them as the stubble that passeth away by the wind of the wilderness. 25 This is thy lot, the portion of thy measures from me, saith the Lord; because thou hast forgotten me, and trusted in falsehood. 26 Therefore will I discover thy skirts upon thy face, that thy shame may appear. 27 I have seen thine adulteries, and thy neighings, the lewdness of thy whoredom, and thine abominations on the hills in the fields. Woe unto thee, O Jerusalem! wilt thou not be made clean? when shall it once be? Chapter 14 Sword, Famine and Petulance Verse 3 No Water 3 And their nobles have sent their little ones to the waters: they came to the pits, and found no water; they returned with their vessels empty; they were ashamed and confounded, and covered their heads. Verse 7 Plead of the People 7 O Lord, though our iniquities testify against us, do thou it for thy name's sake: for our backslidings are many; we have sinned against thee. Verses 13 - 14 Lying Prophets 13 Then said I, Ah, Lord God! behold, the prophets say unto them, Ye shall not see the sword, neither shall ye have famine; but I will give you assured peace in this place. 14 Then the Lord said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart. Verses 19 - 22 The People Plead for Mercy 19 Hast thou utterly rejected Judah? hath thy soul lothed Zion? why hast thou smitten us, and there is no healing for us? we looked for peace, and there is no good; and for the time of healing, and behold trouble! 20 We acknowledge, O Lord, our wickedness, and the iniquity of our fathers: for we have sinned against thee. 21 Do not abhor us, for thy name's sake, do not disgrace the throne of thy glory: remember, break not thy covenant with us. 22 Are there any among the vanities of the Gentiles that can cause rain? or can the heavens give showers? art not thou he, O Lord our God? therefore we will wait upon thee: for thou hast made all these things (emphasis mine). Chapter 15 The Lord will not Relent Verse 3 Four Types of Destruction 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. Verses 19 - 21 The Lord Reasons with Jeremiah 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. In verse 20 God fortified Jeremiah. Chapter 16 Jeremiah’s Lifestyle and Message Verse 14 God will Restore Israel 14 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that it shall no more be said, The Lord liveth, that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; Chapter 17 Judah’s Sin and Punishment Verses 14 - 18 Jeremiah Prays for Deliverance 14 Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise. 15 Behold, they say unto me, Where is the word of the Lord? let it come now. 16 As for me, I have not hastened from being a pastor to follow thee: neither have I desired the woeful day; thou knowest: that which came out of my lips was right before thee. 17 Be not a terror unto me: thou art my hope in the day of evil. 18 Let them be confounded that persecute me, but let not me be confounded: let them be dismayed, but let not me be dismayed: bring upon them the day of evil, and destroy them with double destruction. Verses 19 - 27 Reverence the Sabbath 19 Thus said the Lord unto me; Go and stand in the gate of the children of the people, whereby the kings of Judah come in, and by the which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem; 20 And say unto them, Hear ye the word of the Lord, ye kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, that enter in by these gates: 21 Thus saith the Lord; Take heed to yourselves, and bear no burden on the sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem; 22 Neither carry forth a burden out of your houses on the sabbath day, neither do ye any work, but hallow ye the sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers. 23 But they obeyed not, neither inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, nor receive instruction. 24 And it shall come to pass, if ye diligently hearken unto me, saith the Lord, to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the sabbath day, but hallow the sabbath day, to do no work therein; 25 Then shall there enter into the gates of this city kings and princes sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they, and their princes, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and this city shall remain for ever. 26 And they shall come from the cities of Judah, and from the places about Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the plain, and from the mountains, and from the south, bringing burnt offerings, and sacrifices, and meat offerings, and incense, and bringing sacrifices of praise, unto the house of the Lord. 27 But if ye will not hearken unto me to hallow the sabbath day, and not to bear a burden, even entering in at the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath day; then will I kindle a fire in the gates thereof, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched. Chapter 18 The Potter and the Clay Verses 12 - 17 God’s Warning Rejected 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. Verses 18 - 23 Jeremiah Persecuted 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. Chapter 19 The Sign of the Broken Flask Chapter 20 The Word of God to Pashur Verse 3 Jeremiah Changed his name 3 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Pashur brought forth Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then said Jeremiah unto him, The Lord hath not called thy name Pashur, but Magormissabib. The name means fear on every side. Verses 7 - 18 Jeremiah’s Unpopular Ministry 7 O Lord, thou hast deceived me, and I was deceived; thou art stronger than I, and hast prevailed: I am in derision daily, every one mocketh me. 8 For since I spake, I cried out, I cried violence and spoil; because the word of the Lord was made a reproach unto me, and a derision, daily. 9 Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But his word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay. 10 For I heard the defaming of many, fear on every side. Report, say they, and we will report it. All my familiars watched for my halting, saying, Peradventure he will be enticed, and we shall prevail against him, and we shall take our revenge on him. 11 But the Lord is with me as a mighty terrible one: therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail: they shall be greatly ashamed; for they shall not prosper: their everlasting confusion shall never be forgotten. 12 But, O Lord of hosts, that triest the righteous, and seest the reins and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them: for unto thee have I opened my cause. 13 Sing unto the Lord, praise ye the Lord: for he hath delivered the soul of the poor from the hand of evildoers. 14 Cursed be the day wherein I was born: let not the day wherein my mother bare me be blessed. 15 Cursed be the man who brought tidings to my father, saying, A man child is born unto thee; making him very glad. 16 And let that man be as the cities which the Lord overthrew, and repented not: and let him hear the cry in the morning, and the shouting at noontide; 17 Because he slew me not from the womb; or that my mother might have been my grave, and her womb to be always great with me. 18 Wherefore came I forth out of the womb to see labour and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame? Based on verse 9 Jeremiah had no option but to speak or implode. Chapter 21 Jeremiah’s Doom is Sealed Verses 11 - 14 Message to the House of David 11 And touching the house of the king of Judah, say, Hear ye the word of the Lord; 12 O house of David, thus saith the Lord; Execute judgment in the morning, and deliver him that is spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor, lest my fury go out like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings. 13 Behold, I am against thee, O inhabitant of the valley, and rock of the plain, saith the Lord; which say, Who shall come down against us? or who shall enter into our habitations? 14 But I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings, saith the Lord: and I will kindle a fire in the forest thereof, and it shall devour all things round about it. Chapter 22 Message to the Sons of Josiah (we dealt with them in the first blog) Verses 11 - 23 11 For thus saith the Lord touching Shallum the son of Josiah king of Judah, which reigned instead of Josiah his father, which went forth out of this place; He shall not return thither any more: 12 But he shall die in the place whither they have led him captive, and shall see this land no more. 13 Woe unto him that buildeth his house by unrighteousness, and his chambers by wrong; that useth his neighbour's service without wages, and giveth him not for his work; 14 That saith, I will build me a wide house and large chambers, and cutteth him out windows; and it is cieled with cedar, and painted with vermilion. 15 Shalt thou reign, because thou closest thyself in cedar? did not thy father eat and drink, and do judgment and justice, and then it was well with him? 16 He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well with him: was not this to know me? saith the Lord. 17 But thine eyes and thine heart are not but for thy covetousness, and for to shed innocent blood, and for oppression, and for violence, to do it. 18 Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah; They shall not lament for him, saying, Ah my brother! or, Ah sister! they shall not lament for him, saying, Ah lord! or, Ah his glory! 19 He shall be buried with the burial of an ass, drawn and cast forth beyond the gates of Jerusalem. 20 Go up to Lebanon, and cry; and lift up thy voice in Bashan, and cry from the passages: for all thy lovers are destroyed. 21 I spake unto thee in thy prosperity; but thou saidst, I will not hear. This hath been thy manner from thy youth, that thou obeyedst not my voice. 22 The wind shall eat up all thy pastors, and thy lovers shall go into captivity: surely then shalt thou be ashamed and confounded for all thy wickedness. 23 O inhabitant of Lebanon, that makest thy nest in the cedars, how gracious shalt thou be when pangs come upon thee, the pain as of a woman in travail! Verses 24 - 30 Message to Coniah 24 As I live, saith the Lord, though Coniah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were the signet upon my right hand, yet would I pluck thee thence; 25 And I will give thee into the hand of them that seek thy life, and into the hand of them whose face thou fearest, even into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans. 26 And I will cast thee out, and thy mother that bare thee, into another country, where ye were not born; and there shall ye die. 27 But to the land whereunto they desire to return, thither shall they not return. 28 Is this man Coniah a despised broken idol? is he a vessel wherein is no pleasure? wherefore are they cast out, he and his seed, and are cast into a land which they know not? 29 O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the Lord. 30 Thus saith the Lord, Write ye this man childless, a man that shall not prosper in his days: for no man of his seed shall prosper, sitting upon the throne of David, and ruling any more in Judah. Chapter 23 The Branch of Righteousness Verses 5 - 6 Messianic Prophecy 5 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth. 6 In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, The Lord Our Righteousness. This Kingdom - Ron Kenoly The same as Jehovah (YHWH) Tsidkenu Verses 9 - 40 False Prophets and Empty Oracles Verse 11 Everyone Profane 11 For both prophet and priest are profane; yea, in my house have I found their wickedness, saith the Lord. Verse 14 Latter Day Prophets Strengthen the Hands of Wickedness 14 I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none doth return from his wickedness; they are all of them unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah. Sounds very much like the current times to me. Chapter 24 The Sign of the Two Basket of Figs The good figs are the captives. The Bad Figs the residue of Jerusalem and Egypt. God to send the sword, the famine and pestilence among them, until they are all consumed from the land. Chapter 25 Seventy Years of Desolation Verses 10 - 11 In Daniel 9 this is the book he was reading. 10 Moreover I will take from them the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the candle. 11 And this whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years. There is a lovely Hosanna Song by Joseph Garlington based on verse 10 when the mirth was reestablished. It is called a song shall be heard in the City of Judah (INSERT SONG) Verses 15 - 38 Judgment of the Nations CONCLUSION Whoosh! (wipe sweat from the brow) finally completed. I tell you these blogs are like you are completing a piece of fine sculpture. There is a picture of where you want to go but in the end the final product is up in the air. In this edition you have an example of a Messianic promise Jeremiah 23 verses 5 -6 and then some of my favourite scriptures Jeremiah 9 verses 23 -24, 10 verses 23 -25, 14 verses 22, 15 verse 3, 18 verse 23, 20 verses 9 and 11.

THE DELUSIONS OF THE WHITEMAN BEING FED THE BLACKMAN

INTRODUCTION I am going to begin this series with this video from Dr. Myles Munroe which he did in Eswatini, former Swaziland. I think this teaching is very timely. Re-Discovering the Principle of Kingdom Commonwealth - Dr. Myles Munroe

THE DEATH OF AFRICANS ON THE HIGH SEAS People, this writing started out as a FaceBook post but when I started writing I could not stop so I decided to do a Blog Page. I have not done any for a long time. People, this is costing me money for my internet time. I felt this was so important that I need to get it out there. In addition, the article has been photographed many times. Let us begin by looking at the meaning of the word Delusion: One of the meanings as per Merriam Webster is the act of tricking or deceiving someone. Let us stick with this definition. I tell you white people aaahhh! I could describe them in some very uncomplimentary ways. not very nice. I would really like to know what you black people are telling me about black and white. And even coloured! You black people tell me which one of you have ever been chased out of a coin laundry in the Ottawa area or even anywhere in Canada? Why am I asking this question because twice I have been chased away from a coin laundry in Ottawa. After leaving the hotel speedily. I had to leave quickly because they destroyed my garments while I was in the Business Centre. I had some laundry that needed drying. When I reached the coin laundry the Chinese people chased me away. I mean literally and told me they were not taking any more wash for the evening when I told them I was only drying a few pieces as usual. They still ran me out. They were full! Can you believe it people? When I first went to this coin laundry. I was the only customer in their.The second time I went a few Caucasians turned up. Now the Nigerian money paid the Caucasians and Chinese to run me out! You see people, African money fighting the black woman. Let us talk more about black and white. What I would suggest is that those of you in Africa and the West Indies who are getting those fictitious pictures from the diaspora wake up and get wise. You need to start asking people to send you a copy of their Mortgage Title or Bank Statement or Investment Portfolio. Tell them you are into the real stuff you have gone past bling.Those who say they are in ‘Executive’ positions tell them to show you their years of service certificate. It used to be one of my favourite pastimes reading the Canadian magazine ‘The Immigrant’. I tell you it had entries like ‘and after 15 years, 20 years and 25 years he or she was able to.’ In addition, persons can buy things from thrift stores or buy it on credit cards and then return the clothes after they have taken the picture. I said all of that to say this that we are all being fed a delusion by the white man. In my opinion, if you are able to garner enough money in your African country to get to North Africa to pay those treacherous North Africans to take you across the Meditterranean Sea into Europe to start over life if you make it across the sea, you are a very foolish person. Why do I say it? A fundamental principle of the Bible is the power to create wealth Deut 8 verse 18. The Bible says God has given us that power. You already have it. In spite of your challenges you are able to garner wealth. The skill you now need to acquire is the ability to grow your wealth. Many people have done it, even the white man and that is why he spins all these tales and gets the other people who are living in drudgery in their respective countries to spin these false tales to get you to lose your focus. Remember the civilization in the west both Europe and North America has to a large extent been built on slavery and the wanton plundering of the resources of Africa. Case in point, as I am writing I am reminded of a plaque I saw in Ottawa at the City Hall. It said, ‘this plaque is laid here in memory of the Onishabee people who once occupied this land’ I said to myself I wonder what happened to the Onishabbe people? I had to laugh at the cynicism of the white man, displace you and then place a plaque in your memory. Anyway back to us Africans, what each and everyone of us need to do is look around in our environment and see what are the opportunities available. Unfortunately, we have not been trained to do this, we have been trained to take the supposedly easy way out - flight to Europe or North America It’s A Trap - President of Ghana. I am not even going to use the Bible. I am just going to look at the situation from an everyday standpoint. Not all the governments in Africa are repressive. Billionaires are still being made in Africa.We will not bury our heads in the sand but a lot of money laundering is going on because of the corruption which again is being facilitated by the white man. However, if all the citizens in a country are of one mind and decide that they want a climate which is conducive to doing business, no forces on Earth can stop them. That is what happened in South Africa before what we have now, everybody is corrupt. Unfortunately, everybody is fleeing to Europe and North America and then they feature one person who has been successful and you do not analyze the facts that: The person took all their lifetime to accomplish one of their goals The amount of energy which you are going to have to extend that is equivalent to two life times in Africa because you do not have to overcome most of the prejudices which are in the land of the white man. You are going to have to start from the bottom irrespective of how qualified you are if you do not have some heavy cash. The same white man who is selling you the lie that Africa is backward and poor. It is the same white man and Arabs destroying your countries so that they steal all the resources while you fool fool Africans dying on the high seas. Look at all your options in terms of the continent, not only your country if you cannot make it in your country look to another African country. This is one of the ways in which you would all put pressure on the different governments. Europe did not get to the European Union in a couple of days. They have made two major tribal wars and many skirmishes to get where they are. Remember they have plundered all the nations of the world. As the saying goes ‘Rome was not built in a day.’ Stop watching foolish movies and television shows develop your own and stop building other people’s film industries. Most of what you are being fed is a lie anyway. I know, I have walked the Real Estate. Literally walk!! Those of you who are in a position to share knowledge with people, share it! In fact, all you Evangelicals need to get into the community. Start being salt and light offer to go into the villages and hold Town Hall meetings among the people to find out their needs and help them to become solutions to their problems e.g. I read where people are going to have serious challenges in Mozambique and Sudan because the price of bread has increased. The real problem here is short sightedness. I am a West Indian and I only eat bread when I feel like it. Our motto in Jamaica is that steam hav fi blow inna man face (we only eat cooked food). Bread is plentiful in Canada because of their socialization. They have all these speciality types which are not white bread. I stay away from anything white or bleached. It will tie up your innards. You have all this land and you are depending on white bread. These governments in Africa need to be flogged. The Church which has the expertise needs to help the people solve their problems. Then you can introduce the book from which all your wisdom come.You do not have to preach one sermon. This brings me to the point, that in my estimation one of the reasons why homosexuality is taking over the black church is that the black Church is out of our purpose. I mean you ask any third or fourth generation European in North America about their lineage and they can rehearse it to you. Ask any black person and you draw a blank, especially the new mix up! mix up! I have had personal experience working with the Kingdom Covenant Ministries Collegiate. The parents are mixed up as a result their offsprings are suffering major identity crisis. Lord help my Holy Ghost!! I am saying to myself how can you be a Pastor of African descent and you do not have a serious outreach Ministry in Africa, inconceivable! I really do not mean the kind where you go once per year and plant a tree and the whole world has to know through your social media and website etc. Hence, the reason you have so much friction in the Church. The same twenty and thirty members rubbing up and down every Sunday listening to your humanistic sermons. Jesus only had twelve He sent them out; you might want to do the same with your twenty or thirty. Another thing which has been troubling my mind is all these ten Dollars which are being collected in the name of Charity for Africa. I need a serious Audit of where all these billions of dollars are going. Another magical delusion of the whute man. Continuing with the Church, there was a prison break in Nigeria where thirty five of the prisoners stayed back. I think these guys are near the kingdom. The Evangelical Church in that state needs to contact them and assist them in any way possible, especially their families on the outside. I believe they have more integrity than many of the leaders in the country both secular and Spiritual Thirty Five Prisoners Stayed Back. Your governments for the time might not have any foresight but you do. Look at many major professional Vocations being held in Africa. Many of them are by white people. That is why they can be vindictive and malicious and kill the games and burn down the National Parks through their temper tantrums. All you Africans should be planning how you are going to take back your countries not running away.You might want to look at the systems of mentoring and apprenticeship especially in the areas of Administration and Research and Development You Africans should be buying books instead of hair and cheap clothes. Think of a profession and buy the books on Amazon. Use your smart phones as a business tool not only for Social Media. They can be used to send emails, do invoices etc. Start book clubs with people who are interested in your area. Then you can all develop mini libraries. If you do not have anywhere to put the books, put them in the tent of the Tribal Leader he should have the largest accommodation. Just start somewhere everything you need is contained in a book. Let us mash down the lie that says if you want to hide anything from the black man put it in a book. Mash down that lie!! We cannot think with our loins, we think with our brain. People are not going to volunteer information because they want to continue to exploit you. Do like the Chinese pull apart everything and go through it with a fine tooth comb and then put it back together. Make videos with your SmartPhones of how to do things and circulate them within your communities. Do not despise the days of small beginnings. CORRUPTION Now let us look at the whole area of corruption. The other countries are also very corrupt but much more discrete and they negotiate contracts in exchange for their criminality. For example India, China, Jamaica and South Africa have had some good deals at my expense. That is why I have no sympathy in my heart for anyone when their friends are killing them with the Canadian Virus. They would have murdered me also but for God. However, when the deep pocketed Nigerians are in town you know. Everyone is enervated, payola is here. Road contracts, construction projects, taxis start moving around, if one Police vehicle is following me two or three more are added, people start walking with shopping bags, groceries, harassment everywhere, people from other African countries start moving, the Nigerians are in town. The bribing of the Human Rights Commissions, the harassment inside the court house, the blatant lies, it takes a whole lot of money to bribe a judge over here in North America. It is not like Africa over here when they are found out they have to resign immediately. The classic case was the Employment Lawyer and I in Toronto. Someone from the Jamaica Cnandian Association told me about him that is before they were brought under manners by the white man. By the next day when I found him he had moved to a new office. The paintings were still on the floor when I found him. Of course that was the end of that where I am concerned. I am now pursuing my own case against the Canada Revenue Agency with the Caucasians, Chinese, Indians and Pakistanis at the CRA trying to harass me. Where is all this money the Nigerians spending coming from? From Europe? Or North America? Of course from Africa! I keep asking myself why Nigerians keep making so many foolish decisions. It is obvious that the country is being robbed and manipulated. A lot of resources are going to waste which should be used for the development of the country and its people. However, it would seem that a lot of foolish decisions were made in the past which are still an albatross around the necks of successive administrations. I have to repeat for emphasis for the life of me I cannot understand why the Nigerian nation is prostituting itself before other nations on the world stage. I mean cheese to chalk! Let us do a simple comparison between Nigeria and say Canada for arguments sake. In terms of Human Resources Nigeria far outstrips Canada Two Hundred Million versus Thirty Seven Million. In terms of landmass Canada might be larger but one third of the country is Tundra, barren wastes only manufacturing ice and water. In terms of natural resources Canada is sieving oil out of sand; Nigeria has liquid gold flowing freely. Canada has diamonds and gold Nigeria has even more. When I attended the Nigerian Church in Africa my observation was that all the heavy weights come from Africa. Enough said!! Enough people want to remove my head. I cannot even go out in peace. Lord help my Holy Ghost!! We can understand the food shortage, the classic tactic of the white man and Arabs to keep people hungry and uneducated, hence they are killing out the livestock and killing the farmers. Livestock everyone should know is tangible wealth. In ancient Agrarian economies like that in the Bible Abraham, Isaac and Jacob their wealth was measured by counting the livestock and gold and silver they had. Hence, you had the development of the ‘stock’ market. Tangible wealth before we moved to fiat money. NO CHAOS IN NIGERIA We want no more chaos in Nigeria. Let me repeat we want no more chaos in Nigeria! Any future transition we are having will be done properly. I hear the subversives raising up their heads about ethnic split. We come against all lies from the pit of hell. Another way the white man keeps Africa divided, communication problems. The token twenty per cent elite in any country which speaks the language of the oppressors to instigate tribal war between the eighty percent who still speak their tribal tongues to destabilize their country. Another method is two European war lords try to split a country. The latter is playing out in Cameroon. Great Britain which is eleven on the Corruption Perception Index wants a piece of the action from France which is number twenty three on the Corruption Perception Index. This has led to Brexit. Do you think any black country could get away with the blatant skulduggery of France in Africa? Removing billions of dollars from Africa on a yearly basis through criminality. That is why you all need to stop dying and strategize how you are going to get back your wealth from Europe. One of the methods we can use is a no confidence vote in the parliament Electoral pressure to call for a new election The President completes his term and steps down. No more chaos we need to organize West Africa!! By the way let me stop here and tell President Tsihekedi of the Democratic Republic of Congo to release those Ministers that the evil, wicked, unscrupulous and ruthless white people in the form of the former Colonizers, the Belgians have placed in prison. I have not seen any due process. Until, I have seen that they remain free. CONCLUSION The white man has been in Africa for hundreds of years. I read where the Portuguese have returned. Now you see why the Portuguese is the UN Secretary General. Portugal has no money, they are poor, they are there to raid Mozambique. Tell them that was in the past not again!! Where are the factories and oil refineries. None! The natural resources ripped out of the Earth and sent to Europe and Saudia Arabia. We have Amsterdam being called a city of diamonds even though it is below sea level. How many Africans know how to cut diamonds? Do you know you do not have to wait on the white man to tell you? Yes!! You can read it in a book or Google it!! Belgium the country of chocolate! I saw no cocoa tree there. I see Ghana has decided to move in the right direction

My problem is the countries in Africa who do not even have an agricultural policy such as those French speaking countries. Now I am understanding why the minefields in Angola are not being removed. The criminals in Europe want to steal the diamonds in Angola like they are trying to steal the LNG in Mozambique. Africa is poor but the white man wants all that she has. People let us stop allowing ourselves to be fed a DELUSION by the whiteman and stand up for our inheritance. God Cannot help us until we have declared like Israel that we shall not be moved. Are we ready to fight for what is ours and stop believing the lies being fed to us? Worry not about me. I was well prepared before I started. I am aware of the nature of the creature I am dealing with. I am more determined than them. We have to get people to stop exporting Nigerian ladies as human slaves and prostitutes. Enough is enough!! If one of us is being dehumanized then all of us are!! Let us complete with this teaching from

THE BOOK OF JEREMIAH LIFE LESSONS IN PLANS AND PURPOSES

Original Link INTRODUCTION Mon peuple, Mon peuple it is that time of the month again well, it was that time of the month when I had all my records together ready to type my blog. However, you know that things have drastically changed since then. Now I realize why most Pastors just keep it simple, healing and prosperity. They do not get involved with books such as Jeremiah. Since my bags with all my articles and years of research from as far as Germany and Little Rock, Arkansas I realize that Jeremiah was not only thrown in the dungeon and fed bread and water (thank God for the Ethiopian, may they continue to make strides in their nation) but his scrolls were also torn up and had to be rewritten Jeremiah 36 verses 22 - 24, 27 - 29. We will deal with that as we proceed through the book of Jeremiah. I mean people, in Little Rock I had to pay to photocopy over one hundred of fifty pages out of two Bible Commentaries. I just read part of one of the commentaries because I was waiting to savour it when I had the time. Anyway life goes and I do not want to have three months of blogs backing up again too much work to get caught up with. However we should be in the book of Jeremiah for a period. Let us get caught up where I left you in November. There are a lot of things to recount. I see where I left you in Muskogee, Oklahoma. That seems like it was in another century. I was given a ride by one of the ladies from the Baptist church. We had lunch in Broken Arrow. This was indeed a treat not the food but the antics of the people I encountered. Stacy decided that we would have a meal at McCallister; we both ordered salads. That is where the similarity ended. We were both eating our salads when I discovered a small piece of lettuce leaf in my salad which had gone bad. I called the waitress and asked that the plate be taken away. I did not want a replacement but the Supervisor insisted so I took another salad. Of course they did the same thing again, We ignored them and then left. After leaving the restaurant we drove straight to Tulsa. After winding our way through the town we eventually ended up at the Transit Center on Denver Street at which point we said our farewells. I decided to just explore the town before it became dark. Just up the road past the library and the court house I discovered Plaza of America and my first homeless people you guess, they were all black. One gentleman told me had spent the night on the plaza ‘en plein air.’ I told him he did not have to. I continued walking, one of the first things you notice about the city is the number of churches and the magnitude I mean these churches rival any of the brand name churches to be found in Europe. In fact, while I was there the whole time one of the scriptures which kept coming to my mind was ‘Righteousness exalteth a nation but sin is a reproach to any people Proverbs 14 verse 34 and when the righteous are in authority the people rejoice Proverbs 29 verse 2.’ The standard of living is the best I have seen anywhere in the United States, no run down or shabby neighbourhoods. Rivals the lifestyle of Switzerland. The next day I sorted out my bus pass and visited the Walmart at Memorial and the library. Based on my reception at the latter I decided that I would not be staying because of the one hour I would be allowed per day. In view of this I decided I would expedite my sight seeing. I decided I would visit Oral Roberts University. What a bam bam! Even before I entered any of the buildings I was seeing tell tale signs that I was not welcome. Of course I ignored it, this was an organization of faith. It was only the Nazis and Mafias trying to rob me of my blessings. However, while I was in the office building waiting for the receptionist to assist me the Security came and said I had to leave. Nobody in the office objected. After getting my documents together the security escorted me off the premises. I asked him which way he wanted me to walk. We decided. Then, while I was walking he wanted me to take another route, so I just continued walking. When I reached almost to the end of the property he advised me that I could visit the church across the road. I told him they needed to attend the church more than I because the Torah had left their organization. He agreed with me. I went across the road to the bus stop, the Walmart Store in the background. One black lady at the bus stop decided to take me on because she did not want her grandsons to see my sign. I ignored her. She called me a nappy headed African I laughed at her and told her thanks. My sign had some Jamaican patois on it. She decided she was going to call the police. I still ignored her. The Nazis and Mafias like to manipulate people. Then the bus came and I went in and left her cursing angrily. While I was on the bus one gentleman decided to apologize for the behaviour displayed by the lady. I just looked at him! The cynicism of the white man! Some highlights from the ORU Campus. I saw the statue of the praying hands. I gather it used to be in the city centre. I also saw the prayer tower. My real desire was just to visit that specific place. There was also an entertainment centre attached to the university. Since I was not very successful at ORU I decided I was going to visit Rhema Ministries, one of the thoughts which kept coming to mind was why do I continue to let white people kick me out of their places. I said to myself one day we black people would have our own things. I had to laugh at myself. I found out that Rhema Ministries was actually in Broken Arrow. There goes my bus woes. I had to figure out the bus system. The first attempt did not go well. I was able to reach it on the second attempt. When I reached the front door ‘di owner fi did yaad’ one black fellow had his truck parked right in front of the door. I went in any way. Talk about a cool reception. I entered and everybody was going about their business and ignoring me. I took up a brochure with a black fellow Ministering with a bluetooth in his ears. I went further in and decided I would have a cup of hot chocolate. I tried to get some change, one black lady gave me twenty, one dollar bills. I asked if she did not have any five dollar bills she answered in the negative. I enquired about the school and she advised some nebulous things. I just decided against the beverage and left. Saw quite a few black people milling around and since I had become invisible I decided to scoot out of there. There was a group of white people meeting on my way out. I just hurried across the road and was heading in the direction of the Walmart when the Holy Ghost said, do you want to stay or leave? As I looked up there was a bus across the road. I said, I am leaving. I ran across the road and jumped on the bus. I said Daddy from here on in I am sticking to the Jamaica Theological Seminary if this is their brand of Christianity I do not want anything to do with it. That is why I will forever talk about the Cornerstone Fellowship in San Antonio, Texas. It doesn't matter what you think of the person personally. You must have some benchmark by which your organization operates. In Tulsa, I also reported my ID stolen at the police station at the courthouse across from the Library. The police took my report and stamped it. One day I went to the library they sent this little fellow to watch me. I decided to play with him. I have wanted to ask someone for a very long time what wearing your pants under your bottom meant. I decided I was going to ask this fellow. I did just that with the Librarians looking on. The fellow uuum and ahhed until he said something about his underwear getting dirty. I said that is exactly why you should not have your pants down, He just said let me pull up my pants and left. Everybody within earshot smiled. I laughed! That is it people you need to confront some of these foolish teenagers who are being led astray. The next time I went to a laundromat of course the Nazis and Mafias had a nice young lady there who was dressed like a boy. I left the laundromat and then got the prompting and returned and left two of my tracts with her and said ‘Just do it’! She was dressed in Nike so I just turned it around on her. From that everywhere I went I kept seeing these young ladies dressed like men. Unfortunately, it was when I was leaving that I realized that they were sent for me to give them a tract. It was particularly obvious with one little one who was working at Starbucks she was very mannerly. I tell you the fields are white unto harvest. Now that I have the tract on Social media I can just refer it to everyone. Anyway I still had a bundle carrying with me because I did some free copying in Minnesota. That is one of the reasons the Nazis and Mafias stole all my bags this time. I might have a lot of bags but I am prepared for any situation. I could not stay at the Tulsa airport. They kept running me because I would not sleep at night and there was no direct bus service to the airport so I decided it was time to leave. On my last day at the library I had to call the white lady security guard a liar, Then they shut me down and got one black fellow to ask me to leave. Sic her blackie!! I was actually mapping my way out of Tulsa because at that time I had stopped taking the Greyhound Bus and they wanted their usual psychological analysis with one fool or the other. I told the guard she was the appointed liar for the day. Lord help my Holy Ghost! Just to advise people, it came strongly to me that while we especially in the Caribbean might take it for granted that our children are getting a religious education, there is now a generation growing up in America who do not know God and the queer community is capitalising on that - School Prayer in the United States. Oh, Tulsa is the first place they started injecting me through my clothes. I slept in the open near the Federal Reserve Bank. When I got up my shoulder did not stop itching. Since then they have been doing it over and over especially in Ottawa I realized I am being injected. That is why I cannot get any good denim to purchase. They need the right material for the needle. I took a bus which dropped me at sixty something street in one little village. I lay down on the grass and relaxed for a couple of hours and then started walking until I reached the junction with highway 75 then I stopped. There was a Truck Stop here. I spent the night in the elements. The next day I continued walking. I should have just taken Highway 75; it was a much more direct route and it was not an Interstate Highway. I walked through mainly an industrial district. When I reached a certain point where I was actually nearing a town then one black lady was sent to offer me a ride. I just declined because she advised me she was returning to Tulsa. I got on the back road to Collinsville. I passed a church and then took a break and did some exercises on the grass before someone’s gate. Then I continued further up the road and stopped and began to eat on a gentleman’s lawn. He came out asking if I was okay and I wanted anything. No I did not want anything and yes I was okay. The next thing I know is two Sheriff’s Officers turned up. I immediately realized they were all up to no good so I separated myself from them and continued walking up the road. By the time I opened a Post Office box and shut it back it was the detective who was stalking me telling me he would arrest me. I told him I just looked in the box for 10 seconds and walked away and left him.The post office box was quite unique and I was curious. I stopped further up the road and was given a ride by an old gentleman to Collinsville. He also gave me a ten dollars scratch and win ticket. Ended up when we reached Collinsville he had to find the store and change it. I spent the night in Collinsville. I went into a Laundromat which I was told was open 24 hours only to be disturbed while I was in the restroom and told that the building would be closed. I had to grab my laundry and leave. There was a bank nearby. I just went there and hung my laundry on a tree while I did my devotion. The next morning I started walking early again. As I was walking along the highway my things started falling out and I realized that someone had put a hole in my bag. I needed the bag so I had to stop and sew it up. The next thing I knew there was a lady by my side enquiring if I was okay. I told her, yes and she offered me a ride to Oogalalah a couple of villages up the road. She was actually a Pastor from Tulsa. She gave me her card. She had her daughter and a dog with her, the latter’s name was Jackson. After she left me I sat and completed my sewing then moved on. By the time I reached the next property one gentleman had his dog which was off the leash. Fortunately, for me as I approached the property I crossed the road. Shortly after that a mixed race couple stopped and offered me a ride. The lady was from Belize. They dropped me off at Anawara. I got something to eat at a grocery store in the community. I found a park and finished drying my wet clothes from the previous night on the tree which was offering me shade. I ate, slept, organized my laundry and then moved out of the park. Further up the street was a Love’s Truck Stop. I stopped there and got a cup of tea. Then I moved on again. On my way out of the gas station I was offered a ride by a gentleman. It seems like everybody who offered me a ride either worked or lived in California. He lived in Coffeyville Kansas but worked in California. On reaching the town we went to the Greyhound Bus stop but it was not very inviting so I asked that he left me at the Walmart. I had something to eat and then was off with my Walmart Chariot of Fire to explore the town. It has hotels and an industrial sector with an airport close by so it is not so much a backwater town. When I entered I said to myself well Ron Kenoly now I can say I know Coffeyville. There is also an adjacent Coffeyville in Oklahoma where the Casino is located. Nice town has 5G towers and also some lovely churches. The next day I went to McDonalds, had a sausage roll and then went across the street to the church. The church was full of senior citizens. What can I say people? The service came and went! Unfortunately, it has two points I want to address. We will try to see if we can remember accurately. One is what the so-called founder of the Salvation Army is purported to have said; ‘he cannot save the world.’ All I said was true. All I am trying to save is one continent, Africa. Then there was an anecdote about a man and his son. Something about living in the town versus the country. Then the son was told about where they had a swimming pool but the other person had a Creek. In the town they had fences but in the country they had neighbours. I said from my observations most of the Creeks were dirty and the neighbours now had fences. After church I found a tree to lie under and read my Bible. Then I moved out with my Walmart Chariot of Fire to Walmart where I ate something and then when it was dusk I walked twenty six miles to Cherryvale. While I was walking the Nazis and Mafias tried their best to hit me off the road. One instance the police stopped me to say I was walking in the road. I said, ‘no such thing.’ Then another officer stopped me to say I was in black and the motorists were complaining that it was hard to see me at night. I should put on something light. I said, ‘Oh yeah and put my jacket on the handle of the Walmart Chariot and moved out. Almost immediately a truck almost wiped me out. I took off the jacket immediately. I reached Cherryvale at like 12 a.m. A Policeman greeted me. We had a conversation about the area being infested with drugs and unemployment. He advised that there was not much to see which was very accurate. I made my bed for the early morning by the bank in the town. The day was a public holiday however a worker turned up and displaced me. I went to a gas station across the road and used their facilities. Then a lady came and offered to buy me coffee. I refused, then I went outside. She went to her house to fetch something and her daughter turned up with some dishes and two packs of stew beef. I had to laugh at the Nazis and Mafias how desperately they wanted to feed me their poison. They try to convince people that I am dying of hunger. To cut to the chase people after speaking to them I moved on with my Walmart Chariot of Fire. I got some more rest under a tree. After getting up I threw away everything. Raphleta are you crazy? No, just cautious!! Now I am moving onto Kansas City, the capital of Kansas. After a couple of miles I was offered a ride by a gentleman who had the art of weaving some very tall tales. He came prepared with a big bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken. Fortunately for me I am only used to eating Kentucky Fried chicken on special occasions. I was not tempted. All I could think of was the fat present in the chicken.You should hear him tell you how he was healed; Suffice it to say he took me directly to a hospital in Kansas City, Missouri as pre planned by him and the Nazis. I hope the Chinese will give him back his job. Anyway, I insisted I was not going to stay by any hospital so he dropped me along one of the main streets along with my Walmart Chariot of Fire! I took a bus into the city centre. I felt sad having to leave my Walmart Chariot of fire by the street side. I hoped it reached home. I was attacked immediately by a white lady. I paid her no mind. This was a very harsh town. I was able to access the airport but they were not very hospitable. The library system was also very tight. I decided I would not stay long. Leaving was a serious challenge since I could not get any transportation. I mean one bus just stopped running when it was to take me near the Salvation Army Camp site. I walked it to Independence. Then I ended up going the wrong way with all the cut throats watching me. I was offered a drive by a nurse fellow to Warrensburg. Not a very receptive lot. I then headed out and got a ride from a lady to Higginsville. Another dead end. I then got a ride from a young lady who took me to Kingdom City. She should have dropped me in Columbia but the conversation was so interesting and the Nazis and Mafias wanted to introduce me to this Christian City. It is indeed one of the best locations I have been to. No harassment and no one overcharged me. I slept like a baby. They even had a Chapel for Truckers. I saw pretzels there for ninety nine cents. I have been trying to find that deal ever since.The next morning I was off again up Highway 70 and a gentleman gave me a ride. Now he is looking after his grandson. I think he used to teach and is into cartoons. He dropped me off at a town at the Community Centre with all the facilities but these community centres have public showers so I did not even enquire. I moved onto the Police Station to try and get my flashlight fixed. They were not much help so I went to look for the library. Unfortunately, the map I had received at City Hall was incorrect. I had to walk almost to the end of the town. Luckily it was not a very big town. I finally reached the library and was given my time on the laptop. They had this elaborate system of deception as per usual. I just used the laptop and headed up the road out of the town. Some way up the road this grandmother stopped and gave me a ride. Of course during the course of the journey she had to speak to her grandchildren and her daughter worked with the government e at the blood bank. Yawwnnnn! The stories are becoming monotonous. She dropped me near the highway so I could continue bombing. This time it was a truck with a happily married man thank God. Seems he is in the business of taking up strays and taking them in but the Nazis and Mafias told him he could not take in this stray so he left me in Mount Vernon, Illinois at the truck stop near Walmart. I got my shower and did my laundry. I tell you for Twelve Dollars these Truck Stops are much better than these hotels and motels in Canada where I am paying so much money. Then I went to Walmart and bought something. I stayed Saturday and left Sunday morning to my bombing corner. I decided I would not leave until I got a ride. I have stopped taking money from people. You want to give me money, place it in my account. Out of order with your little dollars!! I detect in my Spirit the Nazis and Mafias trying to use money to tie up my destiny. I take no money from anyone. Send it to the bank. Paypal is off limits; they steal every cent that comes in my name. Then a little black fellow came and offered me a ride to Effingham, Illinois. Seems he is trying to move from Atlanta, Georgia up to Illinois to establish his business. He dropped me at another Truck Stop like the one in Kingdom City but it was not as elaborate. At the beginning of this town was a big cross. That is where their Christian charity ended. I immediately tried to hitch a ride out of the town but no one would give me a ride. Most people were giving me money which I refused. They sent the police on me. They told him I was going into the road. I went into the road to pick up a piece of paper which had blown away from me. I still continued bombing. However, it grew late and I moved on. As I said, the big cross was where their Christian charity ended. I walked along a highway and reached a bank and just rested there because it was raining heavily. I had a police visit me but a crook was written all over him so I just told him I was okay. He wanted to come and check on me intermittently. By now people you should know that is not for my benefit but the benefit of the criminals. They just wanted to keep an eye on me to know my movements. The bank was almost across from the Coin Laundry which was for sale. After the rain subsided I moved on up the road to the Pilot sign which I was seeing. Unfortunately, this was another Pilot like that in Tennessee it was not very hospitable. I just stood in a corner after using their restroom until around 5 a.m. I left. Then I tried hitching a ride but it was not bearing fruit so I walked through the town and realized that the town was full of banks. I named it the town where all families have a bank. Then the buses were just happily flying past me. I walked until I reached the Catholic Charities. They had a Thrift Store attached so I just stopped because people could not get under my clothes because of the Sweat top I had with the hoodie which covered my bottom etc. The people literally tore the sweatshirt piece by piece. I do not like to wear tatty clothes, the latter is cheap so I normally go through and throw out things the Nazis and Mafias have destroyed and replace what is necessary. I decided to stop and get a new pair of jeans, a sweatshirt, some scarves and a pair of gloves since the nights were becoming a bit chilly and my pants were in tatters as usual. I got a black sweatshirt. It was not as secure as the one I had gotten in Germany. I decided to reinforce it by taking the cord out of the German version and putting it in the new one. Thank God for Merl Grove High School and sewing skills. Most times these Nazis and Mafias bring their Psychologists to observe me. I just take out my needle and bread and start sewing up something they have destroyed panty, gloves. stockings, blouses etc. As a result when I was in the #In The USA everywhere I went they have these Hamish people following me. Obviously it is only Hamish who still uses needles and thread these days. I had to laugh when I was in Columbus, Ohio at the Greyhound Bus Station. The Hamish ladies waservivihsewing and having a jolly time like they were home. The store did not charge me for anything I purchased. People I did not wish I had picked up more. I'm walking with my bags. On Leaving the Catholic Charities one criminal lawyer picked me up. He was also incharge of another town. He told me he was going to drop me ten miles and dropped me four miles at the next little dead end town. I keep wondering why these people keep sending me criminal lawyers. I was so upset when I saw all these hillbillies acting as if they were bad. I eventually got a look at the map and decided to head back to Effingham. On my way back, I was picked up by this couple. They have children together and live in the same town but are not together. Of course the fellow invited me to his house. Of course I declined politely. He dropped me at the library. I then left after one hour and went to the Love Truck Stop. I spent the night there and ate a piece of chicken from the Church’s fast food restaurant. I was not called to use the facilities any further. They seem to be moving around with a certain posture which I did not like. The next morning I went to the feeder of the Interstate Highway to bomb a ride. I finally got a ride from a University Lecturer who lived in Tennessee. The usual story he and his wife were not seeing eye to eye etc etc. He likes to travel and we compared notes. He had travelled the USA extensively, done some of South America and a little of Europe. Where the USA and South America were concerned he was ahead of me. However, when it came to Western Europe I taught him a few lessons. We had a very healthy conversation while he was on his way to Missouri or Chicago. He dropped me off in Indianapolis at the Transit Center. This time around they had all types of conditions at the Central Library and the Psychologists team. Unfortunately people, I have to be piecing everything together from memory because all my Greyhound records have been stolen. I keep all my ticket stubs because there is never a boring ride on Greyhound. The Nazis and Mafias are always up to something. I also tried to send my foreign exchange from Indianapolis but decided against this. Indianapolis has one of the most hospitable Airports in the USA. Their library system also is like France in terms of the lack of censorship. I had problems because I sit in the quiet section most times and all the people who the criminals are using usually sit in the section where you can talk. When I go to the library it is for serious work or research. I want no noise around me. Since I was being constantly harassed in the main Library I decided to use some of the other libraries. I remember something that took place at Glendale Library. I suppose it is the Indian and Chinese who had to come up with such a diabolic scheme. I was there on the computer and they got a supposedly insane person to imitate my actions while they were writing their evaluation. I wondered how people can be so deprived mentally. From that day I treaded very carefully and just decided to leave Indianapolis. I left in November and took the Greyhound Lines to Milwaukee, Wisconsin via Chicago. We will stop here with the Introduction and pick up in January 2021. REFLECTIONS I have had so many blog topics stolen in my notebooks, Bibles and pieces of paper that I have taken the decision not to write them down anymore. I will just flow with the Holy Spirit and give the well a chance to work. As I was reflecting I was reminded that I had promised myself to do some major work in the book of Jeremiah because in all my years in the church that is one of the books which I have not heard any major teaching on. Since it is a full Gospel it is time I educated myself both spiritually and physically on this matter. So for as long as it takes we will all be in the book of Jeremiah. CRITICAL DEFINITIONS Book - a major division of a treatise or literary work Eggstatication, the books of the Bible Jeremiah From the Hebrew name יִרְמְיָהוּ (Yirmiyahu) meaning "YAHWEH will exalt", from the roots רוּם (rum) meaning "to exalt" and יָה (yah) referring to the Hebrew God. This is the name of one of the major prophets of the Old Testament, the author of the Book of Jeremiah and the Book of Lamentations (supposedly). He lived to see the Babylonian destruction of Jerusalem in the 6th century BC. Life The animate existence or period of animate existence of an individual. (how long you live for) Lessons An amount of teaching given at one time, a period of learning or teaching Plans An intention or decision about what one is going to do Purposes The reason for which something is done or created or for which something exists ANALYSIS OF THE BOOK OF JEREMIAH It has been such a long time I have not spoken to you. I am motivated by the meaning of the word Jeremiah - ‘God will exalt’ just to decree and declare something to your Spirit. I declare that this is our season for God to raise us up. For I know the plans that I have for you as a people says God, plans to give us hope and a future. Father, we declare that we will co-operate with your plan. Father, we will allow ourselves to be processed so that we can come forth as pure gold. I declare that nothing I have made is inferior, says God. I declare that I have a plan and a purpose for everyone. Oh that felt good. It was one of the things that I enjoyed doing when I was a member of the Church. In the Jaycees we called it commendations. People would go through great lengths to make their commendations very flowery. However, when I came to Canada I noticed that people went to great lengths to keep the microphone out of my hands. I wonder no more now that I am a little bit wiser. I now have the blog so I will use it as a platform the same way I used the mike to amplify my voice. THE STRUCTURE OF THE BOOK OF JEREMIAH The structure of the book of Jeremiah has been a conundrum for scholars through the centuries. Then I discovered an article written by S. Jonathan Murphy in Bibliotheca Sacra (July-September, 2009, pp. 306-18). After surveying the problems involved in trying to understand the structure of Jeremiah, Murphy has provided us with a well reasoned proposal. Murphy suggests that Jeremiah is a “carefully compiled anthology of the prophet’s sermons and of incidents in his life” (p. 314). According to Murphy, the individual units of Jeremiah were originally addressed to the people to whom Jeremiah ministered at different stages throughout his ministry. The final form of the work, compiled after Jehoiachin’s release in 561 B.C., was a message to the exiles in Babylon providing encouragement and hope through promises of restoration. Since the judgments which Jeremiah announced had been fulfilled, the exiles in Babylon could be confident that the restoration would also come about. Murphy believes that Jeremiah has been carefully constructed to a recurring theological message of judgment and hope for God’s exiled people (p. 315). Because they have broken the Mosaic Covenant, they experienced judgment (Lev. 26, Deut. 28). But because of God’s unconditional promise to Abraham (Gen. 12 verses 2-3), God would deliver His people from exile and rebuild them as a nation. So Jeremiah repeatedly presents Yahweh’s judgment and promised hope, destruction and restoration, and cursing and blessing. The entry and exit points of the anthology, according to Murphy, are chapters 1 and 52. These chapters serve as “bookends” to hold the work together as an anthology. Chapter one verse 10 sets forth the agenda of the book. Here we see “in seed form” the themes of judgment and restoration which make up the rest of the book. The final chapter (52) highlights these same themes by recounting two incidents. Chapter 52 tells of the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple, emphasizing the theme of judgment. But the book concludes with a message of hope. Jehoiachin is released from prison, anticipating the future restoration and return of the people of Judah. Murphy offers the following outline of the final form of Jeremiah: I. Introduction: The ministry and message of the prophet 1 II. Recurring declarations of judgment on Judah and Jerusalem 2-25 III. Recurring declarations of restoration for Judah and Jerusalem 26-35 IV. Realization of judgment on Judah and Jerusalem 36-45 V. Declarations of judgment against foreign nations 46-51 VI. Conclusion: The ministry and message of Jeremiah vindicated 52 He summarizes the message of Jeremiah in this way: “The declared and realized judgment of Yahweh on His covenant people Judah and the nations because of sin encourages the exiles to hope, amid their misery, in the fulfillment of His promises of restoration” (p. 317). Murphy has convinced me that the difficulties in understanding the structure of the Book of Jeremiah can be significantly reduced by respecting the text as it stands and not trying to de-construct, edit or rearrange the material of the book. At last the structure of Jeremiah is beginning to make sense to me! I have incorporated Murphy’s outline into my lectures on Jeremiah. Jeremiah 1 Jeremiah was of a priestly line, his father’s name was Hilkiah from Anathoth. He was a Benjaminite which means he was of the lineage of Rachel not Leah, the younger wife of Israel (Jacob). God spoke to him in the reign of Josiah son of Amnon, King of Judah during the thirteenth year of his reign. He was effectively the Prophet during the reign of kings Jehoiakim - son of Josiah; King Zedekiah son of Josiah. Let us look at the qualities of these three kings. King Josiah Josiah (/dʒoʊˈsaɪ.ə/ or /dʒəˈzaɪ.ə/)] or Yoshiyahu was the sixteenth king of Judah (c. 640–609 BCE) who, according to the Hebrew Bible, instituted major religious reforms. Josiah is credited by most biblical scholars with having established or compiled important Hebrew scriptures during the "Deuteronomic reform" which probably occurred during his rule. Josiah became king of the Kingdom of Judah at the age of eight, after the assassination of his father, King Amon. Josiah reigned for thirty-one years, from 641/640 to 610/609 BCE. The Bible describes him as a righteous king, a king who "walked in all the way of David his father, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left" (2 Kings 22:2; 2 Chronicles 34:2). He is also one of the kings mentioned in the genealogy of Jesus in Matthew's gospel, one of the two divergent genealogies of Jesus in the New Testament (cf. Matthew 1:10–11). According to the biblical narrative, Josiah was the son of King Amon and Jedidah, the daughter of Adaiah of Bozkath. His grandfather Manasseh was one of the kings blamed for turning away from the worship of Yahweh. Manasseh adapted the Temple for idolatrous worship. Josiah's great-grandfather was King Hezekiah, a noted reformer also respected by the biblical writers as having "done what was right in the sight of the LORD, as David had done. King Jehoiakim Jehoiakim, also sometimes spelled Jehoikim, was the eighteenth and antepenultimate king of Judah from 609 to 598 BC. He was the second son of king Josiah (1 Chronicles 3:15) and Zebidah, the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah. His birth name was Eliakim. After Josiah's death, Jehoiakim's younger brother Jehoahaz (also known as Shallum) was proclaimed king, but after three months Pharaoh Necho II deposed him, making Eliakim king in his place. When placed on the throne, his name was changed to "Jehoiakim". Jehoiakim reigned for eleven years, until 598 BC and was succeeded by his son Jeconiah, (also known as Jehoiachin), who reigned for only three months. Jehoiakim was appointed king by Necho II, king of Egypt, in 609 BC, after Necho's return from the battle in Haran, three months after he had killed King Josiah at Megiddo. Necho deposed Jehoiakim's younger brother Jehoahaz after a reign of only three months and took him to Egypt, where he died. Jehoiakim ruled originally as a vassal of the Egyptians, paying a heavy tribute. To raise the money he "taxed the land and exacted the silver and gold from the people of the land according to their assessments." However, after the Egyptians were defeated by the Babylonians at the battle of Carchemish in 605 BC, Nebuchadnezzar II besieged Jerusalem, and Jehoiakim changed allegiances to avoid the destruction of Jerusalem. He paid tribute from the treasury in Jerusalem, some temple artifacts, and handed over some of the royal family and nobility as hostages. In the Book of Daniel, Daniel is described as being one of these. Rabbinical literature describes Jehoiakim as a godless tyrant who committed atrocious sins and crimes. He is portrayed as living in incestuous relations with his mother, daughter-in-law, and stepmother, and was in the habit of murdering men, whose wives he then violated and whose property he seized. He also had his body tattooed. The prophet Jeremiah criticised the king's policies, insisting on repentance and strict adherence to the law. Another prophet, Uriah ben Shemaiah, proclaimed a similar message and Jehoiakim ordered his execution (Jeremiah 26:20–23). Jehoiakim continued for three years as a vassal to the Babylonians, until the failure of an invasion of Egypt in 601 BC undermined their control of the area. Jehoiakim switched allegiance back to the Egyptians. In late 598 BC, the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar II invaded Judah and again laid siege to Jerusalem, which lasted three months. Jehoiakim died before the siege ended. The Book of Chronicles recorded that "Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon ... bound him in fetters, to carry him to Babylon." Jeremiah prophesied that he died without proper funeral, describing the people of Judah "shall not lament for him, saying, 'Alas, master!' or 'Alas, his glory!' He shall be buried with the burial of a donkey, dragged and cast out beyond the gates of Jerusalem" (Jeremiah 22:18–19) "and his dead body shall be cast out to the heat of the day and the frost of the night" (Jeremiah 36:30). Josephus wrote that Nebuchadnezzar slew Jehoiakim along with high-ranking officers and then commanded Jehoiakim's body "to be thrown before the walls, without any burial. He was succeeded by his son Jeconiah (also known as Jehoiachin). After three months, Nebuchadnezzar deposed Jeconiah (fearing that he would avenge his father's death by revolting, according to Josephus) and installed Zedekiah, Jehoiakim's younger brother, as king in his place. Jeconiah, his household, and much of Judah's population were exiled to Babylon. King Zedekiah Zedekiah (/ˌzɛdɪˈkaɪə/) also known as Tzidkiyahu originally called Mattanyahu or Mattaniah, was the twentieth and last king of Judah before the destruction of the kingdom by King Nebuchadnezzar II of Babylon. Zedekiah had been installed as king of Judah by Nebuchadnezzar II, king of Babylon, after a siege of Jerusalem in 597 BC, to succeed his nephew, Jehoiachin, who was overthrown as king after a reign of only three months and ten days. In 599 BC, Nebuchadnezzar II invaded Judah and again laid siege to Jerusalem. In 598 BC, Jehoiakim died during the siege and was succeeded by his son Jeconiah (also known as Jehoiachin). Jerusalem fell within three months. Jeconiah was deposed by Nebuchadnezzar, who installed Zedekiah, Jeconiah's uncle, in his place. According to the Hebrew Bible, Zedekiah was made king of Judah by Nebuchadnezzar II in 597 BC at the age of twenty-one. This is in agreement with a Babylonian chronicle, which states, "The seventh year: In the month Kislev the king of Akkad mustered his army and marched to Hattu. He encamped against the city of Judah and on the second day of the month Adar he captured the city (and) seized (its) king. A king of his own choice he appointed in the city (and) taking the vast tribute he brought into Babylon." The kingdom was at that time tributary to Nebuchadnezzar II. Despite the strong remonstrances of Jeremiah, Baruch ben Neriah and his other family and advisors, as well as the example of Jehoiakim, he revolted against Babylon, and entered into an alliance with Pharaoh Hophra of Egypt. Nebuchadnezzar responded by invading Judah (2 Kings 25:1). Nebuchadnezzar began a siege of Jerusalem in December 589 BC. During this siege, which lasted about thirty months, "every worst woe befell the city, which drank the cup of God's fury to the dregs" (2 Kings 25:3; Lamentations 4:4, 5, 9). At the end of Zedekiah's eleven-year reign, Nebuchadnezzar succeeded in capturing Jerusalem. Zedekiah and his followers attempted to escape, making their way out of the city, but were captured on the plains of Jericho, and were taken to Riblah. There, after seeing his sons put to death, his own eyes were put out, and, being loaded with chains, he was carried captive to Babylon (2 Kings 25:1–7; 2 Chronicles 36:12; Jeremiah 32:4–5; 34:2–3; 39:1–7; 52:4–11; Ezekiel 12:13), where he remained a prisoner until he died. After the fall of Jerusalem, Nebuzaradan was sent to destroy it. The city was plundered and razed to the ground. Solomon's Temple was destroyed. Only a small number of vinedressers and husbandmen were permitted to remain in the land (Jeremiah 52:16) Excerpts from - The Book of Jeremiah Chapter 1 Commission Verse 4 deals with the calling of the prophet Verse 5 - has the famous scripture which we are all familiar with that we are not an accident and God knows us before we were born. Chapter one ends with God telling Jeremiah what would happen to them because of their wayward way. Jeremiah 1:4-5 King James Version 4 Then the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, 5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. Chapter 2 - God’s Case Against Israel Verses 11 - 13 Their change of gods. Thirteen is of note what have you given up the true and living God for? 11 Hath a nation changed their gods, which are yet no gods? but my people have changed their glory for that which doth not profit. 12 Be astonished, O ye heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid, be ye very desolate, saith the Lord. 13 For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water. Verses 20 - 23 God waxes poetic using very graphic language! 20 For of old time I have broken thy yoke, and burst thy bands; and thou saidst, I will not transgress; when upon every high hill and under every green tree thou wanderest, playing the harlot. 21 Yet I had planted thee a noble vine, wholly a right seed: how then art thou turned into the degenerate plant of a strange vine unto me? 22 For though thou wash thee with nitre, and take thee much soap, yet thine iniquity is marked before me, saith the Lord God. 23 How canst thou say, I am not polluted, I have not gone after Baalim? see thy way in the valley, know what thou hast done: thou art a swift dromedary traversing her ways; Verse 28 The number of gods of Judah 28 But where are thy gods that thou hast made thee? let them arise, if they can save thee in the time of thy trouble: for according to the number of thy cities are thy gods, O Judah. CONCLUSION In concluding, the scripture thus far which has manifested itself in the Spirit is I corinthians 16 verse 9 an effective door has been opened but there are many adversaries but who can stop the plan of God let us look at the many objects the devil will throw our way as per Roman 8 verses 35 - 39 only you and I can stop ourselves people. In all things we are more than conquerors. That is why Paul, further said in the book of Ephesians 6 verse 10 Having done all ‘Finally stand’. This reminds me of a song by Dr. Myles Munroe from this scripture, Finally Stand. Well people, we are finally on our way again. We have just began to scratch the surface, thus far we have covered: How the book of Jeremiah is organized We have looked at the reign of the kings under whom Jeremiah prophesied We have looked at some excerpts from the book We will continue our analysis of the first section for January.
