MAY 2021 BLOG - THE BOOK OF JEREMIAH LIFE LESSONS IN PLANS AND PURPOSES PART V

INTRODUCTION Mon peuple, we are still in Senegal. Lucky for me I walked with my computer because this time around Senegal decided that they were going to hold on to me. I got no help at the airport. I had to sit down on the floor and apply for my visas. Then here was this Muslim gentleman looking at me and making up his face. I was actually in the corner where they prayed. I ignored him. I decided to try Guinea and Sierra Leone. I really would have preferred Guinea but they had all types of picture requirements. I tell you I did not have any of these challenges in Europe. The Black man! The visa for Sierra Leone came through. I bought my ticket online. Here comes another challenge I had to print the documents. One office with two girls in the airport charged me US$12. They actually said US$18. I told them I was not going to give them a cent over $US12 for six sheets of paper. Then I had to go and get my PCR Test at the Pasteur Institute. Finally, a place where one had nice restrooms and good food. However, as usual I was the project for the cleaners. They were told not to leave me. Any restroom I went to, they were there. Then the soldiers were ordered to have one exit and one entry. Lord help my Holy Ghost! The Senegal flight was uneventful. I really just retraced my steps back through Banjul, Bissau and then Freetown. The excitement started at Bangui Airport in Freetown. We had to pay immediately even before we cleared customs for the Covid Test. That was a whopping US$50. I will not give you the conversion in Leones. When that was all finished and we had done the test we were told that we have to self isolate. That rule was introduced on October 4 a couple of days before we arrived. One major confusion! I ended up quarantining at the airport because the guest house where they took me, I had no intention of staying there. All high fences and bad roads. More like a prison than a guest house. I was cleared to leave Saturday night after a whole lot of foolish behaviourism. I took the ferry across to Freetown. That was a journey costing US$40. I wondered why the airport was not on the mainland. I am sure I will have to get in the mind of a European, so we will not go there. The scenery from the boat was quite good. At Sea Coach I was introduced to a driver who charged me L$200,000 to take me into the city. Before I went to the heart of the city I asked him to take me to a villa I had visited online. The villa was located on a road which was extremely poor. At one stage when we were driving I was wondering if we were going to slide away off the road. The driver told me the mining office was located near the road. I said is that so? When we reached the villas it was behind another set of high fences. I just told the gentleman to take me to the heart of the city because I am not into that sort of living. He took me to Howden Street with two villas. The one I chose I paid L220,000. One thing about Africa is that it needs infrastructural renewal. Got my own bathroom with my little plastic bucket. Must be the reason everywhere I go these Nazis I notice are leaving a little plastic bucket. I would like to know what they expect me to do if they have thrown me out in the cold and they are watching my anus and vagina so much that every time I go to a washroom, to private, one of them comes to the door and tells me how long I have been in the washroom. Yes, people, especially the Chinese and Caucasians actually sit and time me in the bathroom. Moving along, the next day which was Sunday as I was about to do my FB post the light went immediately and did not return. Crooked Pakistanis and Indians from what I later gathered. This is where things get interesting and I meet the real character of the people of Sierra Leone. I decided to stay by a Police Station which I found across from the Municipal Office on Wallace Johnson Street. The first night I requested use of their restroom and was introduced to a hole in the ground. I had to literally climb down to get there. Since I had no major problems coming along and the weather was so good. I thought Sierra Leone would be a breeze. I would just look around and then board my flight to leave the country. I was quite wrong, it seems the criminals had decided that I was just going to be stopped in Sierra Leone. The first night my computer was stolen. When I went to the Police the gentleman said that he had told me to sit on a bench in the station and continued watching his black and white challenged television. That was the end of that. Realising that I was not going to get anywhere in this country with the legal system. I decided the next day that I would just go to the Liberian/Sierra Leone Border. I also need to tell you about my trip to Bo. After my computer was stolen I decided I would just go to Liberia by going to the border. I eventually got the bus route. I had to take a bus to Bo. After the fact I learned that there were Public Buses which ran to the different States but you had to catch them at specific hours. I was actually there a couple of mornings when the buses were loading. The people arrive as early as 6 a.m. to join a line to purchase their tickets. Then they would load and move out by around 7 a.m. The route which I used which was more expensive was to take a yellow bus. I think it was L2,000 because it was a local bus. We sat five to six in a row. I resisted the sixth person in my row. I could not take the squeeze. It was one big scramble to get on the bus. You know Jamaica bus pushing style, downtown. All this time I was laughing at the similarities between Africa and Jamaica. I said Daddy I am home. Then I went to the back of the bus to jump up like the other people. Unfortunately, it was too high for me so I had to go to the door. Ah I thought you Jamaicans were good. In Jamaica we preach on the buses. This bus was a market. Everybody came and spoke about their products and then they sold. Everything from a pin to an anchor. I remember one fellow came with chocolate. He did not have enough hands to sell. You should hear those selling medical products. You would think they were Pharmacists. Then we reached the place where I could take the bus to Bo. Of course the government bus was full again. I had to take the private bus. To be encumbered with the inconveniences planned by the demonic criminal minds. My feet nearly killed me because they were so cramped. It was the same scenario with all the marketers. They had a nice young preacher unfortunately for him he placed Christianity and Islam on the same level. There is nothing wrong in greeting our Brothers and Sisters the Muslim when one started to preach but to make them feel that everything was kosher and that Islam is equal to Christainity while you are preaching is erroneous. I could have slapped myself because I gave the fellow a good offering. It was when I sat and was evaluating the sermon that I realised the subtlety of the matter. Just to advise if you Africans are giving the Muslims in Africa a false sense of security that they are okay. You need to stop it. They need the Lord Jesus Christ just like any of us. There is only one way to the Father and that is through the Blood of Jesus St John 14 verse 6. What can I say, entrance into the kingdom is a bloody matter. Just be glad you do not have to shed anymore. All along the bus route there were vendors. By the time I reached Bo It was too late to take the taxi to the border. Those who were there wanted to overcharge me. The fare was L200,000. When I went into the Taxi the fare automatically became L220,000 for the front seat. I just came out. I went to a little church in the community. The service was filled with young adults and children. The ratio was like eighty percent in favour of the young people and children to twenty percent in favour of the adults. It was a lively service. After the service the lady introduced me to her husband, the Pastor. He said I could stay the night because the fellows stayed the night because they were having a three day Crusade. I am wondering why the church is in the middle of a yard. I see no room for expansion. The Pastor told me the property was donated to them. We spoke about my plan to go across the border and he told me I would pay US$10 for a document which would take me across the border. At that time I still had my handbag and my clothes bag. Only the computer bag had been stolen. In fact, that was the reason I was trying to get out of Sierra Leone. In the early morning I requested use of the facilities. I did not know what happened that night. All I know is that I held a bench and went to sleep. The next morning my blouse was soiled with a blue substance. I changed it and requested use of the restroom facilities based on what the Pastor had told me the previous night. For some reason that seemed to have changed. I had to go through garbage to an elevated hole in the ground. I did not want to climb up and stoop down so I had to be creative. People, you have to use your imagination. Just be advised that I am never out of plastic bags and tissue paper. After thanking the fellows for their hospitality I went across the road to take my taxi. Here comes drama again! No one wanted to take me because they had been told what should happen at the border. One fellow who was willing to take me when the other fellows told him what was taking place he ran me out of his taxi. I ended up taking a taxi which was driven by a Liberian. The lady who took the front seat did not pay any extra and she was acting very religious. I think she said a prayer before we left. I just ignored her. My major problem is these demonic and diabolic people going before me and just slandering my name with all and sundry. We were eventually off and the driver had to stop to pick up a piece of iron. Then he had to go to the tire shop. Then the back seat was very uncomfortable because four of us were packed in the back. I noticed the three crooks in the back were eying my bag for the whole journey. I did not close my eyes and kept my bag under ‘raps’. On the way the criminals had him pick up six bags of coal. From the things I am telling you, you will realise why the growth of Africa has been stymied. The countries are being hijacked by all these criminals who are just looking to make money at the expense of the people. They are bankrupt of ideas and are not interested in the growth and well-being of the Continent. They are all parasites. We eventually reached the border where I tried to process using my Canadian passport and was told that I had to pay someone to escort me across the border. I asked how much was that? The officer said it was dependent on the individual. I said I was not interested. I left! They said I should try the Liberians. I was escorted across the border by a nurse. Why a Nurse? The wry humour of the criminals. I was not even aware of that information. It was while we were on the Liberian side of the border that she revealed to the lady that she had to leave me because she was a nurse and could not speak to the matters at hand. She left and the lady was trying to facilitate my entry into the country after I told her why I had to leave Sierra Leone. The process was really very straightforward. I am sure they must have done it thousands and thousands of times. I would be given the temporary document to facilitate my going to the relevant authorities and applying for my visa. It so happens that the taxi driver had also driven off with my bag across the border without informing me. I had to tell her my bag was in Liberia. She called and spoke to the commander and was in the process of getting me documented when a fair skin fellow driving a white SUVcame and spoke to her and then drove inside. When he drove out everybody had stopped speaking to me. The next minute I was escorted across the border. They wanted to give me a bike ride but I refused. Lucky for me at that time the Liberians decided not to keep my bag so it was returned. My troubles were just beginning people, I had the money to just get back on a taxi and return to town and look at the flying alternative which is what I told the Customs Officer. Another thing they keep bringing these highly bleached persons in my presence. I mean most of these people have been taking these chemicals so that their skin has become red. Then their hands, some parts are light and the other parts are black. That is what these people are doing to my hands in Canada. They did it already and constant rubbing with the vaseline and some other creams have restored my hands. Now they are back to the same thing. At night when I am asleep they rub this black substance on the sides of my hands and my fingers. My hands look like a Public Support Worker (PSW) or Sanitary Technician. The thing makes my hands rough and then I have to go to Walmart to use the vaseline to rub on my hands. I just had to throw away a tub of vaseline. They placed something in it which aggravated the haemorrhoids in my anus. I noticed my haemorrhoids were being inflamed frequently. It was most obvious when I was doing my bent over stretches. Then after I showered one Friday and did my usual whole body application of the petroleum jelly, Vaseline brand. My haemorrhoids started acting up so I had to just discard that bottle. The criminals say they are trying to give me Colon Cancer. Vaseline petroleum Jelly is my only beauty product, people. It is good all over from head to toe! African ladies you need to get a grip. If people are not accepting you the way you are, do you think cosmetic things will make them accept you? That is why the crooked white people who have given the Reggae Album to a white group cannot abide the fact that the Reggae is from a black country. I have no problem with people singing Reggae. However, it is a distinct sound coming out of the island of Jamaica and we refuse to let the brand be diluted. If it evolves into something else then it is not Reggae. Give that something else a new name. One of the things with Reggae is that you have to be able to sing. Look at all our greats, everyone had a distinct style. If someone wakes you up in the middle of the night you can identify all of them individually. There is no faking this thing you either have it or you don’t. Back to you African ladies heads up if you do not like the colour of your skin be born again. If you think fair skinned people are getting all the breaks, God is trying to get a message over to you that you need to create your own economy instead of destroying yourself to become a part of the other. There was a lady in Gambia. I had to do a double take, is she white or is she black? Before I could determine she rode off in a bus. As I said, my problems had just started. The taxis were given strict orders not to take me. Up to that time I had never ridden a pillion on a bike. I really did not want to because there was another alternative. I decided to start walking. The rest is history. I was robbed and compound living was offered to me. I was hungry and thirsty. It was on this back road that I saw a youngman with twenty to thirty children under a tree teaching with only a blackboard for teaching aid. I was lying on the ground resting my legs. I just said to myself there's work to be done. It was on this back road where I saw electricity poles and fenced plantations but the people on the ground had no running water and no electricity. I could hardly see their compounds at night in the dark. As for water it was the well or I saw the children fetching water from the river. It was while I was walking this back street when I realized why there was a problem with rape in the country. Then I analysed and realised that it is not the black man who was the problem. It is the White man and foreigners. As an African you all grew up close to nature half naked together so naked flesh was no mystery to you. Then the Whiteman came and he was seeing all this dark flesh and not able to contain himself. It was very easy to rape the ladies. All they wore were wrappers. A piece of cloth strung around the waist. Remember the youngman who was with Jesus when they came to arrest Jesus he ran away naked and left his loincloth in the hands of the soldiers St. Mark 14 verses 51-52. Same scenario, the problem being these ladies cannot run fast enough. Now they have the western blouse on top of it but most of them still do not wear brasserie. Hence, the reason they had to socialise the young ladies into wearing sanitary napkins and all the trappings of the White man is really to protect them. Most of the ladies still just wear the wrapper with a blouse. It was along this back road and in the town where I saw children going to school in their uniforms while other children were setting out their wares to sell along the streetside. We have mothers in Jamaica who are higglers, the children would assist in the morning to put out the goods but they were in their school uniforms and as soon as it was time the mother would give the child/children their lunch money and send them off to school. The child must come to something is the motto. I tell you people I walked and was so tired I had to just lay down and rest on my bags in the dirt. They had not stolen my two bags yet. Anyway all night they had a couple of bike men shadowing me. Anyway I will have to give you the gory details of how my bags and my panty were raided and my US Dollars stolen. I walked until I reached a coconut orchard and lay down under a coconut tree until security came. I had to rest frequently because they have been working on my knees since I came to Africa, especially here in Sierra Leone. They called some police and they eventually got me to go on the bike back. What I was avoiding happened. There were three of us on the bike with the sick police officer on my back all the way. We reached this town called Zimmie, Munno River. After many questions and stealing some of my money one of them escorted me to the Taxi stand in the town to get a car to Bo. When I reached there was no car going to Bo because they had cut a deal to keep me in the town. Anyway, a number of youngmen, the old man who had written the ticket and I sat down and we were talking. Two little boys came and I purchased two coconuts from them. When I was about to purchase the third, the young man who said he was going to University purchased it for me. We sat and continued talking about school and travels. Anyway I just sat there and was sharing with the young people after buying three coconut jelly from two little boys. To cut to the chase, it seems people had planned that I would be spending the night in that compound but by sitting and talking to the young people plans changed. I had to laugh. One of the things I said to the little boys listening to me. If I could I would give you all my Passport to go visit the USA and Canada because I know that eventually you would all return to Africa. Then the little old man who sold me the ticket to Bo placed his foot on the table. I just held it and said nothing that a little salt water cannot cure. Just soak it in salt water. Then I said my husband's toenails could not be like that. That is why I am in no hurry. These people are Muslims. I HAVE LEARNT THAT GOD HAS HIS OWN EVERYWHERE. I will not tell you what the Christians have done to me. Anyway people, I met this nice young man who is attending one of those small universities in Africa. His name is Sherif. He has a four month old son and a girlfriend who is also studying. The young man sat beside me and showed me his family and in Adeboye style after admiring the baby. I just started praying for him like we were having a conversation. It shall be well with you, the things which used to be an obstacle shall be a stepping stone.. Reach out to him for me people and see how you can help them. Let us break the cycle of poverty for his son. People, I would like you all to reach out to this village. Let us help them to be a model community in that area.I rrigation, roads, electricity and agriculture. People if you see the size of the pineapples in Africa. Twice the size of those big ones in Jamaica. Let us help Africa to break the cycle of poverty one community at a time. You know what I like about these communities? They are fresh and have not been too tainted with the hang ups of the cities. They are virgin soil! After returning I sought to purchase a plane ticket to get out of the country. After eventually finding (no one would give me any information) the section for travel Agents on Siskya Street, the travel Agent advised that it would cost me US$475 to fly to Togo. I said not a problem. I knew she was robbing me blind but it was that or stay in Sierra Leone and be abused which eventually happened. I advised her that unfortunately my Canadian Card had a CAN$500 limit. I had to make a hybrid payment debit and cash. I also saw another Travel Agent right beside them and tried to book there to see how much they would charge me but they turned me down flat. They did not want my business. I went to the bank and withdrew around three million Leones, which was like US$240. Had to make a number of withdrawals it could not be done at once. This was the money which saved my life in my crisis or the people of Sierra Leone would have starved me to death. By the time I had done all of this the Travel Agency was closed. I should have told you I went to the Brussels Airlines people just to enquire about a flight and one young lady assisted me well. It was through her I found out about the Travel Agency. I went back just to ask another question one gentleman just told the Security Guard to help me. The lady who I spoke to previously was now dumb. Of course there was no help forthcoming so I just left the building. I decided I was going to protect my bag with my life and was able to do so up to about 4 a.m. but I made one fatal error. I sat down. I was by the Police Station but they had boarded up and battened down tight not even a mosquito could breach their defence. I sat down and nodded off to sleep and just left when the little young man was dragging my bag from under my legs. It was a little fellow about twelve or thirteen years old. He did not even run. He went in the same direction as the fellow who stole my computer bag. There went all my documents again in addition to my thirteenth Bible. I mean from I was in Canada the Nazis and Mafias were pecking away at my Bible I had to be using cellotape to keep the pages together. I was waiting until I reached somewhere nice and comfortable like when I was in Senegal to type my Blog. Those pages had gone. My bank card, passport, my papers and all my documents were gone again. This is the third time. Twice in the USA and the first time in Africa. I saw some Foreign Affairs Ministry so I went and camped there. I was informed that I had to go to the police to make a report. On my way a Police Officer came to me and told me I should avoid the area because they could not protect me. I should tell you all this time that the Police and soldiers were the ones who were co-ordinating the crime against me in the night just like in North America. Any time I see a Police vehicle these days all I say to myself I wonder what criminality they are up to now. That is all! They were always busy coming and going. I reached out to the Police station where the incident took place. They advised me to go to another one further down the street. Then after questioning me, the lady who was doing the questioning was obviously trying to get on my nerves with the foolish questions she was asking. I was too angry at that stage to be pulled in by these ignorant people, foolishness. Then another officer in the room, seeing that I was not smiling, told me I had to go to the Office at Pademba Road for the matter to be dealt with properly. He followed me outside and of course there was something wrong with his legs. It would have been surprising if the criminals had not tried to send me some message. I walked up the incline to Pademba Road, the office of all the major crooks in the system. The officer who took the report advised that it would cost L300,000 for each item I listed in the report or I could just group everything together. Obviously the criminals did not want to record all the things that were stolen in my bag. I opted just to group everything and paid the L300,000 because there were quite a few items in my bag and I had no cosmetics. I had to get my photograph taken. The officers in the Guard Room told me it would cost L20,000 by the time I reached over to the criminal Cooley who ran the business and his black agent in criminality. I was told the pictures cost L50,000 and I could not get a soft copy. When I returned with the pictures I was told it should have been cropped a certain way. I am sure I stood my ground and said I was not going back. I had also asked for an official list of the fees charged for the services. All I was shown was something on the Officers telephone. I did not even look. Finding the Canadian Embassy was another exercise. I do not even remember how I got the address. At the Travel Agency they told me it was on Booth or Howden Streets. I found both streets and did not find any Canadian Consulate. I think it must have been the Police who eventually told me. One thing I know and no one has to tell me is that I am dealing with some very sick individuals. In order to illustrate I am going to write about what is taking place with a lady right here in Toronto. I have to ask myself if I am the only one who sees what is happening. If no one can intervene on her behalf. The situation is pathetic. I know the purpose of the whole exercise is that they are trying to get a message over to me what they wish for me but Jesus Christ is my Lord. I am off limits to the devil. I eventually reached the Canadian Embassy as I have already told you the crooked and criminal Canadians had to observe me under camera and I realised I had to tell them that I had no intention of sleeping before the Consular General came out of hiding. I am discovering day by day that Canadians are not very nice people, not very nice people at all. That is one of the major reasons why I did not want to travel on a Canadian Passport any longer because as happened in the USA I knew they would leave me on a limb to dry. The Consular General Mr. Kofie McCauley told me that I had to reapply for Citizenship and one long story. I said I am not doing any such thing. When I was getting the Citizenship in the first place I had no problems. When my Citizenship card was stolen all I did was apply for a Naturalisation Certificate filling out a simple form. All I need is a document to travel. I also advised that I would pay my own plane fare. I gave him my brother’s email address and asked him to contact him since I was not able to access my funds. He then told me about this document which would take a couple of weeks by November 19. I could not even use the internet at the Consular Office as I started to use it. It would go down. I had to laugh. I mean people, those were two of the worst weeks of my life. Mr. McCauley gave me an address to get the picture for the document.After I eventually located it I was charged L200,000 for the pictures. The first batch I took was stolen the same day I took them. While I was sleeping. I had to go back on a number of occasion that is how I encountered this gentleman the Saturday who almost rape me in daylight and took away my package with my knife and toiletries. I was determined that they were not going to get my picture again. The same thing is playing out in Canada with the government stealing my Birth Certificates because they do not want me to get my papers to leave Sodom and Gomorrah, Canada. Let me backup a little to relate some more specific incidents. After going to the embassy I tried to get myself booked into a hotel again. I returned to the one I had stayed at Howden Street. The price was the same but the size of the room had been reduced drastically. I did not like the location and what I saw so I opted not to take it for my L220,000. I went across the road by the time the lady was taking me upstairs to show me the available rooms one gentleman ran in like a mad ant to say all the rooms were full. I did not fuss, I just left. I went to this brothel being run by a lady since on a previous occasion she had offered to rent me a room. She was very pleasant and invited me to sit in her Lounge. Of course sizing me up for the attack. Having made the mistake like everyone else that I was easy prey she eventually told me that I should return at 10 p.m that is the slow period. I left and said I would be in touch. Of course I did not return. Treacherous and cheap black people. We behave like Cannibals the manner in which we gobble up each other at the bidding of the White man. Unfortunately, my bag with my clothes was stolen in the early hours of the morning while I was relieving myself by fertilising some grass. I had quite a few nice pieces in that bag which I was looking forward to unfolding in Ghana and Nigeria as I attended church. Talking about the Church, all major denominations are in Sierra Leone. Sad to say I did not see the salt of the earth, light of the world nature of our Christainity. The Churches I saw looked the same way like Freetown in need of some serious infrastructural overhaul. Of course while the scriptures were not on the heart of the people it certainly was on their vehicles. You had no problem knowing who were Muslims and who were Christians example God is Great (Christian) Allah is great (Muslim). In the area of transportation over-charges and sometimes the owners of labour lock down their system on me and I had to pay premium rates to get where I am going. The first time I went to the Canadian Consulate the so-called Christian robbed me blind. The other major challenge was in the area of the internet because person's agendae was to shut me down completely and shut down my Social Media presence. I had great challenges in this area. The first internet cafe I used the gentleman fiddled with my FB account and gave FaceBook the opportunity to illegally close me down for a number of months. The Spirit has been ministering to me about what is taking place in this area. Even though the criminals have all my legal documents at their disposal and I mean all. My name is the big obstacle. There is only one RAPHLETA ROSEMARIE TAYLOR. If anyone presents my documents without my presence they have to be able to answer some serious questions. No institution can tell me that they did not know. I am all over Social Media. All they have to do is ‘Google it’. That is why people harassed me and I had to change the name of my Canada Revenue Agency My Account. For the same reason they want to shut down my Yahoo and my FaceBook Accounts, because my name is unique. Normally any account I open I just use my first name. The only reason why they were able to steal my money from PayPal is because of internal help at TD Bank and Paypal. My account was supposed to have been closed. Canada is a dangerous place with all levels of criminality. This is saying especially to you people in the Caribbean these little common English names which you all are using, you need to go to God for names of your children. Cut out all these foolishness like the name of the year is ‘Charlotte’ for example. Did the Holy Spirit tell you that your child is a Charlotte? That internet shop was on Siaka Stevens Street, I then used one on Howden Street. This institution needs to be cleaned up. Then I used an expensive one in Aberdeen on the road to Sea Coach. This one was expensive so they allowed me to do my work, then the criminals taught them their tricks. They actually blocked me while I was using my OneDrive. I had to circumvent them. Then they are calling their Pastor. One showed me his Bible school certificate. Lord help my Holy Ghost. The other major challenge was the restrooms. I had to purchase my own tissue paper because people were told not to make any available when I'm using the restroom. Not only that they would sometimes shut off the water on me. I had to be creative. One of the things in Jamaica is even if the area does not have water running in individual pipes you can always find a stand pipe as we call it, in the community. Where everyone can come and get water and socialise. I did not find much of that in Africa. They were going to the river. Then all the Pakistanis and Indians and Arabs shut down their facilities on me. I had to start doing things strategically. At one time I reached Sea Coach I was only able to use their restroom twice. Then I was ejected again. Then I tried the bus stop but there were holes in the ground again. The next major challenge was food. The Pakistanis, Indians and Arabs banned me from their stores again. I would not go to the market because that is open poisoning. The people were after poisoning me. I remember while I was in the Police Station they had this gentleman overlooking me. My chair was placed in a specific position. The corrupt Police left him so he could look me over. All I did was wonder what happened to all these fools I was meeting. The last thing I want to leave you with is how I escaped Sierra Leone. These people were cooperating fully with the kingdom of darkness. Then one Sunday I was walking along Lumley Beach and met a Christ Embassy Church. I was so glad I could get a Bible. When I went over there the lady gave me two of their devotionals. I was so upset I just returned them and moved along. When I went to the Bible Store the prices for Bibles were out of this world. NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE I wanted to give you an example of my ordeal in Sierra Leone. I will give the last part because all the gory details are enough to fill a book. The Consular General told me to complete my document. I needed to get a picture. I went and got the picture that night while I was sleeping. It was stolen. The picture cost SLL200,000. I decided I was going back to the photographer to find out what I should do. During this time I was having serious difficulties settling at nights because it was constant harassment. I was having a problem with toilets. I used to use the Catholic Church in the mornings even though it did not have proper facilities. The pipe in the restroom was disconnected. One Sunday morning the Priest was waiting for me in his robe to tell me that I could not use his toilet. His goon was there to ensure that I did not. I just went around the front and did a number one. Here it is, I was going to be writing to you Roman Catholics in North America and Europe and tell you all that the reason you were falling into sin is that you are too pampered in comparison to your brothers in Africa. Here it is when I am in America and Europe there are prayer books and hymnals to spare. In fact the first thing I did was get my books when I entered any Roman Catholic Church. They had them to spare and very new. I tell you people there was none in this Catholic Church. All I saw them put out were some tattered song books and the prayer books looked quite ancient. In fact, the book is updated every year because it has all the sermons and prayers which will be preached for the year. Not like you unruly Evangelicals. Their things are done decently and in order. That is what I was going to be writing about and that you people need to correct this anomaly immediately. Is it not one church? Anyway cockroach nuh business inna fowl fight, dem run mi out a dem bruk dung toilet. Like Jesus and the Pharisees, unuh neva si dat mi foot dutty but she is washing my feet with her tears and drying it with her hair. Unuh guh wey fram mi unuh Far-you-sees and Sad-you-sees. Wid unuh bad heart. St Luke 7 verses 36 -50. TRANSLATION Anyway, cockroaches have no business getting involved in a fowl fight (fowl eat cockroaches), they ran me out of their broken down toilet. Similar to Jesus and the Pharisees, you did not see that my feet were dirty but she is washing my feet with her tears and drying it with her hair, get away from me you Pharisees and Sadducees. You have bad hearts! I used to buy from another Pakistani and use his restroom. He told his security that I was no longer welcome. I bought a pine from a lady when I was by the beach peeling the pine. I found the pine was very battered on the inside. I found it suspicious so I threw away half of it. The pine is very sweet and juicy. However, this is why I buy in the supermarkets because I do not trust the natives. It used to be that they would shut the supermarket door when they saw me coming. I went by the beach. I would be bothered, one morning I got up there was a fellow in my bag. He said his name was Moses. Another night I was lying by the beachfront one fellow came off his bike and came to me to tell me that he wanted to F^&* me. I said ‘Oh yeah and went for my knife and said come F”^& me. Oh people, I forgot to tell you about the Police Station across from the Mayor’s office there in Freetown. After the officer told me that the police would not be able to protect me on Wallace Jackson Street every night when the police saw me coming they locked their door. The night my bag was stolen not only did they close the door but they also batten down with some ply board. See no evil hear no evil. Then someone tried to tell me that they were not police. I said what? You drive the vehicle and wear the clothes and you are not police? Since I was by the beach in Aberdeen which was near Lumley. I decided that in order to get my pictures I would stay by a Supermarket the night before which had 24 hours security near the top of Wilkinson Road by the Crossroads in Lumley. The people who took the pictures were located off Wilkinson Road on a street called Lower Border line. When I reached I rested on a bench beside the supermarket one fellow came and told me I could not stay there. I said no problem and went to sit by some water bottles on the supermarket side where the Security Guards were sitting. He came and said I could not stay there either. I told him he had no authority over that side and he was to go about his business. I was not doing any harm and the Security Guards were there. The next thing I know is the crook took out a whip and gave me two slaps. By the time I went after him he gave me two more. I was focused on getting my hand on him because I had no weapon. All I felt was when a second criminal hit me in my back with a chair. I went for one of the water bottles but they were full and too heavy. Then a third criminal hit me and I toppled over. I was looking for a weapon and fell over the water bottles from a lick that the first criminal gave me. I was on my back and looking up at the first criminal who had a piece of stick shaped like a post in his hand. All I remember saying was Daddy is this it? Because I am ready to go to the ultimate with these criminals. Then the Security Guards seemed to realise that things were going to get out of hand and they got the criminals off me and gave me my things. I had two cuts from the ordeal, one on my leg and one on my hand. I have the scars from this war. Because this is all out war!! Then I went across the street because I was determined that no crooks were going to get me out of my place. There were some residences and the people had a shed. I sat there and the crooks came again. This time one who was not involved in the first skirmish decided that he wanted a piece of the action. He came after me with a whip again. I just lifted up the bench I was sitting on and went after him. He scattered! Then another little foolish one came and he went for a dog. The dog did not even open its mouth once, a big German Shepherd. In order to stop the harassment because I realised there was a youngman who was driving the strife. One of those who wear their pants under their bottom who looked like a homosexual. I went and sat across the road near some business place for the rest of the morning until the supermarket opened. In the opening hours of the supermarket. The owners came and were very busy with some soldiers. I thought all the drama had ended from the night before and they were just securing the place. When I went to the supermarket door when it was opened one soldier was trying to stop me from entering. I just shook him off. I went in and used the restroom with a lot of harassment. When I was ready to shop the soldiers literally pushed me out of the store and lifted me up and carried me across the street. Literally pushed me out of the store for I was putting up a resistance. I needed juice and water and a knife. Anyway since it was still early I decided to go to Kroos Town to Chaitraim. This was the relative to the one on Rowdon Street who had told me I was persona non-grata. I told you the Indians and Pakistanis own the place. I was not seeing the Chinese but as soon as I started seeing them in the supermarkets and on the streets things got decidedly worse. I saw a one-eyed Chinese person. I saw a mad one and a number of others in the supermarket. When I reached this supermarket they wanted to stop me at the door but I just brushed them off again and went in and got a little knife, water and some juice. These people will poison your system. I was suspecting their water. Then I went back to the Photo Studio. One of the things which happened is that the owners of the transportation shut down the system on me. All the vehicles pass me by. Then some so-called Christian comes to your rescue but they are just as dishonest because they overcharge you. Now looking in hindsight it would seem that they do not own the vehicle. They only drive them. When I reached the studio no one wanted to deal with me. I just sat outside and slept until one of the Ethiopians came and gave me the pictures. I had been there on two previous occasions and were turned away and had no intention of leaving again. The pictures were actually taken by an Ethiopian. I walked from Lower Border Line out to Wilkinson Road. I sat by the store out front. To my surprise as I was just sitting and relaxing, one disgusting blackman attacked me. In our struggles he took away my plastic bag I had with the knife and some things. I tried to bite him to get him off me but he actually started to put his mouth on me.The man was full of pure demons telling me he wanted me to go home with him. In order to shake him I had to be running in the streets. This did not shake him at all because when I turned my back he started to feel up my bottom. What was amazing to me is that these crooked Indians, Pakistanis and Chinese have these black people so bound up that no one came to my rescue. People stood there looking and no one came to my rescue. I finally got rid of that demon and decided to start walking because no one would pick me up. If I stopped beside any vendors and they started moving. Then I move with them because it simply means people are preparing to attack me. It went like this until I reached the top of the road. Then I had a taxi man stop for me. You guessed people this time he said he was a Pastor. However, he took all of my money. I just hired him to take me to the other set of criminals, the Canadian Consulate. You guessed people he did not know where the Consulate was. I had to give him directions. When I reached the Consulate I was frazzled. I told the security I was not leaving until I saw the Consular. I gave the youngman who worked there the picture which everyone was after. After a while Mr. Koffie Macauley came on explaining the situation to him; the safest place he seemed to be able to offer was the hospital. I went to the hospital. They did not keep me for more than a couple of days because they said nothing was wrong with me. However, the Doctor said is that all you want to tell us, Miss Taylor? So that if the police asked. I think that was why they wanted to get rid of me so fast the circumstances under which I was there. Then they have this bad habit of waking me up while I was sleeping and asking questions. I don't even know which part of the hospital I was in. All I know is one day I got up and a fellow was there in the room sleeping. At certain stages God just locks down your brain so you are not able to process certain things. I did not look at the criminal. I was moved to a Guest House. I am still analysing my experience because I know I had some nocturnal visitations. Then I was given some Indian and Pakistani old bruk which I am still trying to get rid of.Glad to say at this stage I have gotten rid of everything. The coat was the last. The Pakistani and Indians did their usual art work with dirt. I had to get rid of it. The sneakers the Chinese did their business with. The swelling of my feet. They literally destroyed and tore up everything which belongs to me. I do not even like to see these people, the Chinese and Caucasians. The criminals let us drive overland to the airport which took all day. The sea trip only took 20 minutes and SLL 400, 000. Would you believe at the airport they tried to get the flight to leave me? I ordered some food, and they gave me what they pleased. I wanted the black chicken. They gave me the white one. It is more than tongue can talk. Before we go on the last day before I left one white fellow came and visited me. I mean in person. He would have known everything about me so I asked him his name. He told me John. The next time we speak. I will tell you how the crooks in Canada stole my handbag with all my documents as I landed. I will also discuss my bout with Malaria. I am still wondering how that one happened. I never had to say ‘shoo’ to any mosquito while I was in Africa. We will also advise the crooks in charge of this operation that they are going to have to kill me but I do not want to know them. I want nothing to do with any of them. REFLECTION Just stood in the immigration line in the Paris Airport, the wing built by the Chinese and wrote a blog. I first got the word ‘Well Blockers” out of Genesis 26 verses 12-15 even when you have reached Rehoboth there is still Beersheba, the place of constant flow and peace and rest. Then I wrote the Blog.

Declarations of Judah 52 Chapter 52 Judgement on Judah This is the culmination Chapter focusing on Jewry. The culmination of Jeremiah’s prophecies. Verse 1 Zedekiah’s Grandfather name is Jeremiah Just thought I would mention that! Verse 2 Zedekiah the Idolater Verse 3 Rebellion of Zedekiah against Nebuchadnezzar Verse 4 Jerusalem Under Siege Verse 5 City Under Siege for the 11 years of Zedekiah’s Reign Verse 6 Famine on the Land Verse 7 City went Nuts/Army Flee Verses 8 - 11 Judgement on King Zedekiah and his Sons 8 But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him. 9 Then they took the king, and carried him up unto the king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; where he gave judgment upon him. 10 And the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes: he slew also all the princes of Judah in Riblah. 11 Then he put out the eyes of Zedekiah; and the king of Babylon bound him in chains, and carried him to Babylon, and put him in prison till the day of his death. Verses 12 - 14 Jerusalem Burned 12 Now in the fifth month, in the tenth day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, which served the king of Babylon, into Jerusalem, 13 And burned the house of the Lord, and the king's house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, and all the houses of the great men, burned he with fire: 14 And all the army of the Chaldeans, that were with the captain of the guard, brake down all the walls of Jerusalem round about. Verse 15 Jews Carted off to Baylon Verse 16 Poor People Left to Keep the Land Verses 17 - 23 The Temple Destroyed The Europeans in Africa acted like the looting Chaldeans.

The second pillar also and the pomegranates were like unto these. 23 And there were ninety and six pomegranates on a side; and all the pomegranates upon the network were an hundred round about. Verse 24 The Priests Taken into Captivity Verse 25 Additional People Taken by The Captain of the Army to Babylon Verses 26 -27 Nebuchadnezzar Killed the People They found Hiding These are the people who acted contrary to Jeremiah’s warning. 26 So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah. 27 And the king of Babylon smote them, and put them to death in Riblah in the land of Hamath. Thus Judah was carried away captive out of his own land. CONCLUSION We made it we survive, When the Enemy tried to take our lives No weapon formed against us shall prosper We survive! I survive the Europeans I survive the Canadians I survive the Chinese I survive the Pakistanis I survive the Indians I survive the South Americans I made it I survive I survive My future is very bright.. I am an overcomer!! Let us give the person who wrote the song the credit. Here is We Made It by Hezekiah Walker and Love Fellowship Choir. Having made it through much bucking and nodding of the head we have come to the climax of the series The Book Of Jeremiah - Life Lessons in Plans and Purposes. Let us review some of the things we have learned. The number one thing is to remember that you are not an accident Jeremiah 1 verse 5. God has a plan and a purpose for your life. The end of your life has already been recorded Jeremiah 29 verse 11. Sorry you are not leaving Earth until you have accomplished that end Jeremiah 1 verse 5, Jeremiah 29 verse 11. Bad things happen to good people based on this book. He was cast into prison, the dungeon Jeremiah 20 verse 2, 38 verse 6. He was fed with bread and water . His scrolls were burnt Jeremiah 36 verse 23. He went into captivity. I am reminded of the calling of the Apostle Paul. It went like this: For I will show him the ‘great things he must suffer for my name's sake’. Acts 9 verses 15 - 17. Did Paul suffer? II Corinthians 11 verses 21 - 33. I was reading a Psychologist in the Jamaica Gleaner on Sunday April 3. I suppose she would say that Paul has a lot of trauma he needs to deal with. This modern Christianity does not reconcile with what is in the Bible. The book of Jeremiah is full of a number of noteworthy gems. I have one more project to do. That of collating all the warfare scriptures in the book. Overall it was a fantastic experience. I would not have given it up for the world. I am more blessed for having gone through the experience. My next project you will know about when I start writing. I do not want anyone preempting me. Until we communicate again: This is Raphleta, Lillene’s baby girl coming to you from Toronto, Canada. The city of the CN Tower! À bientôt REFERENCES The Book of Jeremiah - King James Version of the Bible

THE BOOK OF JEREMIAH LIFE LESSONS IN PLANS AND PURPOSES - PART IV

Original Link INTRODUCTION Mon peuple, Mon peuple well people I am on the move again I left Canada on Sunday, September 19, 2021. I ensured that I did not travel Air Canada even though they had the more inexpensive fares. I did not want any baggage. Things started being interesting at the Paris airport. I went into the checkout line instead of the in-transit line. I noticed the line was snaking with hundreds of people. I wondered about the Canadian Virus and when we would finish. I took out my Bible and started writing. Then I got Genesis 26 - Well Blockers. The conclusion to that after Rehoboth, a place where God has made room for you does not stop there. There is a Beersheba where the wells just flow freely. I was so encouraged by that word that I just wrote my Blog right there in the line. By this time the line started moving quickly so when I reached the front I was advised that I was in the wrong line and redirected. Oh I forgot, not one of the airport workers wanted to communicate with me.Then I found the Connections (that would be Correspondances in French) Section. I sat and slept and then they decided they were not going to leave me because I was there waiting for the flight to be announced and as usual where I am concerned no announcement was made. One gentleman came and told me that the flight to Dakar was leaving. I forgot to tell you how pretty that section of the Chinese French Airport was. Pretty like money people, and expensive to match. Then I dropped into Dakar, Senegal. The airport is even more pretty than any of the prettiest in North America but the amount of money they spent on the roof they could have used to make another terminal or two. The roof looks very expensive. The roof of all others I have passed through all I remember is that they were high. Before I go any further let me say here Africans that we not only want to recognize the dead we also want to recognize the living. One of the things I see done in North America is to recognize the Politicians, Architects and Engineers on major projects. The persons who were instrumental in making the project happen. Even naming bridges in the name of the people who served the community. There is nothing wrong with placing a nice bronze plaque in a prominent spot on the building for example stating that the project was commissioned when who was the President, the mayor of the city and the representatives of the City Council along with the Architects and Engineers.This will prevent people from doing shoddy work and people like to be recognized. They will give their best. Just an idea! We do not only have to recognize the dead. After having a party all by myself, changing out some foreign exchange and buying a SIM Card I was ready for the taxi. The only problem is that I could not find the recommended Taximan, Ousmane. I saw that I should have stayed put until daylight. Suffice it to say one criminally challenged fellow got me to go in a taxi. He even wanted to over charge me by 5,000 CFA. I ended up where I do not know. I think I went to Ngor when I should have gone to Ngor Island. I already wrote about the altercation with the little taxi fellow. I paid him when I looked around and saw that he was under siege. You had one rascal sitting on his taxi bonnet telling me that he is a Rastaman and a whole host of other rascalites of varying ages milling about. After I paid him and one little fellow escorted me out of the lane. Then I called the number for the place I had booked to no avail. They had the telephone under wraps. Every time I called they just cut off the telephone. Now the crooks are asking me about my Senegal number. I spent that night at a gas station with two fellows. In the morning I ran from them because I had given them some money. One fellow who was so kind to me saw me struggling with putting on my shoes because my feet were so swollen that he helped me.I was so moved by his kindness. Then the gas station owner thought I needed protection so he wanted me to shelter in his store when he saw three of them surrounding me. I told him I was okay. In the early hours I jumped on a bus along with the one who put on my shoes. He lived in that direction. I noticed an amazing thing. He had three dogs who were so well trained that when I looked through the bus window they were following the bus with their owner. I drove to a place called Preston. I was trying to find my accommodation. Then I had to take another bus from this market, come bus terminal. I ended up in a community called Yoff Commun. It had a nice cool out area under the bridge and I sat there and did my usual observations. Then one rotten teeth lady sent me astray. I asked her about a supermarche. Then I realised that no one wanted to point me in the direction of Centreville, which is Dakar. I just jumped on a bus. As soon as I reached there was a fellow to assist me. Lord help my Holy Ghost! He took me to some accommodation. Of course I had to pay the taxi fare. I thought the accommodation was too expensive so I left him. He told me vingt mille (20,000 CFA) the lady wanted vingt cinq (25) mille. I went exploring the city and went to the lying museum. Lucky thing I slept and did not read the foolishness on the wall and upset myself. Then I found the Dakar Chemin de Fer Station. It is a train station people.Then I found the Chinese Supermarche Auchan. There is another one called Utile right up the road and all you black people want to go to foreign unuh gwaan and leave me and the Chinese. I spent the night in the open. It was really nice. I seriously need a tent. The next day in the early morning as I was about to do my devotion. One fellow came off a motorcycle while his partner waited and took my telephone. Being telephone number eight. Then later in the day I checked into the same overpriced hotel I went to. When I was checking out I had US dollars they wanted to offer me 350CFA per dollar. The Canadian Dollar is worth more than that. I eventually got 500 CFA for one US dollar for a peaceful life. My only regret is that I did not get to go to the beach. So I went looking for the bus to take me to where I could get the bus to go to Gambia. The damn crooked #Chinese will not give me a chance on the computer. They corrupt everything. I could not get any bus after one fellow threw an orange peel and the bus drove off. I decided to take a break in the park. I found an empty bench and sat down and decided to dry my laundry. Then a little skinny fellow who said his name was Paco turned up and invited me to share his room. While he was doing this he was using one cigarette to light the other. I told him the situation would not be ideal because he is a smoker and I am not. He said I could change him. I told him only God can change man. Anyway, he would not leave me. I had to change my location. In the night while I was in the park praying he came and sat beside my bags. The next time I heard in the Spirit, Raphleta watch your bags. Shortly after I turned around and one of my bags was missing. I saw Paco moving slowly with my bag by his side. Of course I took it off him.That is when I left and went to the bus stop. Thursday night I ended up at Pekin. I was out at the bus stop until 11 p.m. a couple fellows and I. Seems my vagina was bartered out without me knowing so I had this Muselman looking at me all night. The Number 15 came. I haven't a clue where it was going. I jumped on with the fellows. I reached this square at Pekin which looks like it did not sleep. I said Ici, ne dormir pas, they said No! I jumped off the bus. I found a sidewalk and sat down and observed. One of the things that first came to me was the fact that black people really worked hard. I mean almost everybody had a load including the children. It is a sight to behold to watch those ladies balance those loads on their heads and some of them have a child on their back. I am saying all these model houses need to come to Africa to find their models. The ladies have great posture. They are already trained to walk upright and look straight ahead. Then I was thinking of the contrast to when I sat at Walmart and almost all people are obese. Nothing of that in Africa. I have yet to meet an obese person like those in America. It is clearly a lifestyle thing and a whole heap of medications. I sat there and said Daddy we are not lazy people, you have to help us. Down to the little children have their own loads to carry. I met this little fellow called Moudy his number is (stolen) . He says he is looking for a Security job. If you can help him reach out to him. Then the taximen came to block my view. I went to look for a toilet. They showed me somewhere I did not like. I moved on. Then this fellow wanted to charge me. I Kept it up! I sweat out most of it anyway. They had a little palm tree by a mosque with a bench. I went and did my devotion. Of course I had to keep running the people. Then around 4 a.m. I took a taxi toYoff. The taximan wanted to cheat me about quatre mille(4,000CFA) for a ten minutes ride. I said, ‘come let me and you have it out’. He drove off with my cinq cents (500CFA). I went around in circles on Friday. On Saturday while walking around I needed to use the washroom and went into a Shell Station. They gave me a toilet without toilet paper and one bucket of water. I will not tell you what I had to do. Just to say life favours the prepared. From that I walk around with my tissue. While tracing the bus like a sleuth I saw an empty stool and asked the young man if I could sit. He said yes. While there I found out he wanted to go to Jamaica. I asked him what he was doing to that end. That is when he told me he was a university student who was studying law. His name is and his number is (stolen) . Those of you in the diaspora who can help ensure that his studies are taken care of and when he is completed he has a good firm to practice in. He is a lovely youngman. Finally got a breakthrough on Saturday. A vendor told me you need to go to Padua then Parcelles. I went for the Padua bus. They stopped running. In the night I paid trois mille (3,000CFA) to an old taxi to take me to Parcelles. Then I was upset with the Taximan. Instead of driving me into the bus terminal he took me pass to no man;s land. The work of the reprobates. I asked for a toilet and the young lady showed me some holes in the ground. I had no choice but to spend my penny. Lord help my Holy Ghost!! I forgot to tell you someone even took away my red scarf!! Then bless God Sunday we were off to Gambia. By the time I reached Gambia the major impression I am having is that Africa only grows bush and rubbish. Yes, Africa! We have to do better. Yes, Africa we have to do better and we can do better. Coming over the Gambian border one of the first things I saw was a church sign. I think it said RCCG Parish of Signs and Wonders. People in the diaspora one of the first things that needs to be done is to get these people a proper sign. I respect their faith. It takes courage to plant a work in the environment I see them functioning in. People in the diaspora, not only Africans. If you are a Christian and are looking for a work to sow in they should be good ground. However, do your investigations first. I do respect them. These are people who are serious about the work of God. The first thing I needed was to fire up my computer. I went to a University building. People in the diaspora if you are looking to sow some money into some young people. This would be good ground this University is called the In and Out University seems there is a network all over Africa.. The facility I experienced would be a small private institution in Jamaica. It would not be a University. Search them out and send them some resources. The place they said was the library where I used the internet was a small cramped space. They blessed me with the use of their internet so I would like God to bless them also. As I said Banjul Airport is nice and has plenty of room for expansion. The only major concern I have is the advertising of bleaching cream and the obvious distorted concept of beauty that the Gambian ladies have. Then the Gambian bus did not want to take me when I was leaving so I had to hook up in the back of vans from Birkhana. Of course there was a whole lot of Police check points on the Senegal side of the border. I wonder who they are keeping out, must be terrorists could not be the people. I had to change transportation at Selety, then at Ziguinchor. At the Gambian border when I was leaving they wanted to charge me for illegal entry because I was not informed that I should get out the bus and get my passport stamped. The Reprobates up to their foolishness. In North America on both sides of the border the Customs Officers boarded the bus and searched to ensure that everyone was off or the drivers presented all the passports. They had me sitting on a bus for over one hour and only checked the luggage. Obviously Africans want to waste my time. Then the Minibus driver dropped me off unceremoniously at the square near the airport in Bissau, Guinea-Bissau. The first things that greet you are craters in the road. The country has potential but is being repressed. The first things they need are a News paper, Television station and their own radio station. The people are being repressed but they are being exposed to more toxic western and European cultures. The country also needs to realise that to be taken seriously on the international scene it needs to have another popular language as its official language. By sticking to Portuguese it is limiting itself and its people. Having said that, it is one of the worst nations I have been to in my life. Whoever is in charge has cast off all constraints. On two occasions I had to take back my money which I had paid for, internet. The Reprobates obviously decided that I should be trapped in that nation because the people were very abusive so they had Expedia steal my money for one flight I had booked. Then I thought it was Canada cancelling my payments and just realised that it is the Ivory Coast. The first day I reached I decided that I wanted to leave immediately because of the discourteous behaviour of one soldier. If you ever see the hotel room I spent sixty US dollars. I was tired after the hectic road trip and just wanted somewhere to sleep and refresh myself. Obviously, African men do not like stockings. They almost used mine to cut off my foot in addition to tearing it up. Then I booked a flight with the airline just to get out of the country and they manufactured a Canadian Virus Report. Need what people? I saw a lady walked right in the centre and got a free Test. That is if most of them did not have the same thing. Damn dishonest people. The next day when I went for the report there was no testing going on. It was while I was in Bissau that I saw then put up one sign about the Canadian Virus.Then the airline said the plane was full and charged me extra for the flight to Senegal. That was a lie. The plane was two thirds full!!Then the Hotel Lisboa stole my vingt mille. I went for a day pass. I would not be spending the night because I did not sleep so they could assault me and I objected to the room they gave me. I would like to know why these criminal Canadians do not leave me alone.They did not give me any room. Everywhere I go they try to get people to steal me. Even the bus conductors!! I left the hotel and went close to the Airport. Then in the wee hours of the morning someone sent one old scrawny gentleman to perform pornography. The gentleman was there playing with his private parts in the open. It was sickening. Just goes to show Reprobates are Reprobates!! Anyway on a more positive note I met this youngman, a student working as a Security Guard, reach out and help him. He is a lovely youngman. He is studying Human Rights Law his name is Salvador, his number is his FB page is I am back in Senegal, they are not much better because they sent one other scrawny gentleman to play with himself in front of me. This time I walked him out and left him to go on with his business.but they are not as oppressive.I tell you I stayed at a so called hotel I think it is a brothel. They placed me in the men’s quarters. I will not talk about the place. Just to say the towels were clean. REFLECTIONS Just stood in the immigration line in the Paris Airport and wrote a blog. I first got the word ‘Well Blockers” out of Genesis 26 verses 12-15 even when you have reached Rehoboth there is still at Beersheba the place of constant flow and peace and rest. Then I wrote the Blog.

Declarations of judgement against foreign nations 46-51 Chapter 46 Judgement on Egypt In these Chapters we are mostly going to focus on the Warfare Scriptures. Those scriptures you can use when you are praying that will make you sound very well read and researched. People will stop you outside the Church and say where did you learn that scripture? Ensure that you know your scripture reference. The judgement continues even on the powerful Egypt. Verses 3 - 6 Jeremiah Marshalling the Forces 3 Order ye the buckler and shield, and draw near to battle. 4 Harness the horses; and get up, ye horsemen, and stand forth with your helmets; furbish the spears, and put on the brigandines. Verses 7- 8 The Vastness of the Egyptian Army They are like a flood or a river. 8 Egypt riseth up like a flood, and his waters are moved like the rivers; and he saith, I will go up, and will cover the earth; I will destroy the city and the inhabitants thereof. Verses 9 - 10 Jeremiah Marshalling the Forces Verse 10 is a serious warfare scripture. Be careful make sure you are under proper covering before you pray these scriptures and your life is properly aligned as John Eckhardt would say. 10 For this is the day of the Lord God of hosts, a day of vengeance, that he may avenge him of his adversaries: and the sword shall devour, and it shall be satiate and made drunk with their blood: for the Lord God of hosts hath a sacrifice in the north country by the river Euphrates. Verses 11 - 26 The Lord’s Destruction of Egypt Verse 23 An example of how Egypt would be destroyed 23 They shall cut down her forest, saith the Lord, though it cannot be searched; because they are more than the grasshoppers, and are innumerable. Verses 27- 28 Assurances to Israel Even Though They would be Punished Also It was King David that said to God I will take your chastening because I know you will be merciful. I am not so sure about man II Samuel 24 verses 12 - 14. 27 But fear not thou, O my servant Jacob, and be not dismayed, O Israel: for, behold, I will save thee from afar off, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and be in rest and at ease, and none shall make him afraid. 28 Fear thou not, O Jacob my servant, saith the Lord: for I am with thee; for I will make a full end of all the nations whither I have driven thee: but I will not make a full end of thee, but correct thee in measure; yet will I not leave thee wholly unpunished. Chapter 47 Judgement Against the Philistines Gaza seems to be unfortunate it is always being smote even in the present day. Verse 1 Pharoah smote Gaza even before Jeremiah started to Prophecy. I think present day Philistines should take a look at this prophecy. Verse 2 The Despair and Desolation of the Philistines Verse 3 Parents Abandoning Their Children in Fear and Dread Verse 4 The Lord Destroyed the Philistines and their Helpers The land of Caphtor which research says is Crete is an island in the Mediterranean Sea administered by Greece. Tyrus and Zidon were the other helpers. Verse 5 Prophecy Against Gaza Again Verses 6 - 7 The Sword of the Lord The sword cannot rest, it has work to do. 6 O thou sword of the Lord, how long will it be ere thou be quiet? put up thyself into thy scabbard, rest, and be still. 7 How can it be quiet, seeing the Lord hath given it a charge against Ashkelon, and against the sea shore? there hath he appointed it. Chapter 48 The Judgement of Moab I had written down the names of all the cities mentioned to do a research on them but these notes were stolen long ago. I still need to do my research. Verses 1 - 6 God Promises Judgement on Moab and Her Cities Verse 7 The Reason for the Destruction 7 For because thou hast trusted in thy works and in thy treasures, thou shalt also be taken: and Chemosh shall go forth into captivity with his priests and his princes together. Verses 8 - 9 Total Destruction Promised Verse 10 Warfare Scriptures 10 Cursed be he that doeth the work of the Lord deceitfully, and cursed be he that keepeth back his sword from blood. Verse 11 Moab Comfortable in his Sin Verse 12 God Send Wanderers Verse 13 Comparison of Chemosh in Moab to Bethel of Israel 13 And Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel their confidence. Verses 14 - 24 How the Mighty have Fallen Verse 25 The Horn of Moab is Broken The raised horn represents victory. They are also emblems of power, dominion, glory and fierceness. 25 The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken, saith the Lord. Verse 26 Moab Wallow in his Vomit Verse 27 Moab Laughed At Verse 28 People Need to Seek Protection Verse 29 Moab Full of Pride Verse 30 Lies Will be Ineffective Verses 31 - 34 Howling for Moab 33 And joy and gladness is taken from the plentiful field, and from the land of Moab, and I have caused wine to fail from the winepresses: none shall tread with shouting; their shouting shall be no shouting. Verse 35 No More Worship in the High Places Verses 36 - 39 Mourning in Moab 37 For every head shall be bald, and every beard clipped: upon all the hands shall be cuttings, and upon the loins sackcloth. Verse 40 God Spread His Wing Over Moab Like an Eagle Verse 41 Strongholds Taken Men’s Heart Fail Verse 42 Complete Destruction of Moab Verses 43 - 44 Warfare Scriptures 43 Fear, and the pit, and the snare, shall be upon thee, O inhabitant of Moab, saith the Lord. 44 He that fleeth from the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that getteth up out of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for I will bring upon it, even upon Moab, the year of their visitation, saith the Lord. Verses 45 - 47 Destruction and Captivity of Moab 45 They that fled stood under the shadow of Heshbon because of the force: but a fire shall come forth out of Heshbon, and a flame from the midst of Sihon, and shall devour the corner of Moab, and the crown of the head of the tumultuous ones. 46 Woe be unto thee, O Moab! the people of Chemosh perisheth: for thy sons are taken captives, and thy daughters captives. 47 Yet will I bring again the captivity of Moab in the latter days, saith the Lord. Thus far is the judgement of Moab. Chapter 49 The Judgement of Amon Verse 1 Ammonites Captured Jewish Land Based on Bible commentary the Ammonites lived in close proximity to the Israelites especially the Tribe of Gad. When the Israelites went into exile the Ammonites took over their land with their idol worship. It would be like the Whiteman in Africa. It would seem as if the Africans have no heirs. The Whiteman not only wants to control #Europe he wants to control Africa. 1 Concerning the Ammonites, thus saith the Lord; Hath Israel no sons? hath he no heir? why then doth their king inherit Gad, and his people dwell in his cities? Verse 2 The Lord speaks to the destruction of the Ammonites Verse 3 The Lord speaks to the Destruction of their Gods Verse 4 People Trust in their Treasures Verses 5 - 6 God Promises Fear and Captivity Verse 7 Speaks to the Wisdom of Eden Verses 8 - 12 The Lord speaks to the destruction of the Ammonites Verses 13 - 16 The Lord Swears by Himself on the Destruction of Bozrah Verse 17 Edom’s Desolation Verse 18 As it was with Sodom and Gomorrah Verse 19 Challenge to the Most high Verse 20 Edom’s Desolation Verses 21 - 22 Warfare Scriptures Verses 23 - 27 Damascus Judged Verse 28 Kedar is Judged Verse 29 Warfare Scripture Verses 30 - 33 Hazor Judged Verse 32 Warfare Scripture Verse 34 God Speaks to Jeremisah about Elam in the Days of Zedekiah the King Verses 35 - 39 Destruction of Elam Verse 37 Warfare Scripture 37 For I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies, and before them that seek their life: and I will bring evil upon them, even my fierce anger, saith the Lord; and I will send the sword after them, till I have consumed them: Chapter 50 Judgement of Babylon Verse 1 Babylon Judged 1 The word that the Lord spake against Babylon and against the land of the Chaldeans by Jeremiah the prophet. Verse 2 Their gods Judged - Bel and Merodach 2 Declare ye among the nations, and publish, and set up a standard; publish, and conceal not: say, Babylon is taken, Bel is confounded, Merodach is broken in pieces; her idols are confounded, her images are broken in pieces. Verse 3 Nation from the North to Destroy Them Verses 4 - 5 New Covenant with Israel Verse 6 Israel Lost Sheep Verse 7 Israel Abused Verses 8- 9 Judgement of Babylon Verse 10 The Judgement of the Chaldeans Verses 11 - 16 Continued Judgement of Babylon Verse 17 Israel Scattered 17 Israel is a scattered sheep; the lions have driven him away: first the king of Assyria hath devoured him; and last this Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath broken his bones. Verse 18 Babylon Punished Verses 19 - 20 Israel restored 19 And I will bring Israel again to his habitation, and he shall feed on Carmel and Bashan, and his soul shall be satisfied upon mount Ephraim and Gilead. 20 In those days, and in that time, saith the Lord, the iniquity of Israel shall be sought for, and there shall be none; and the sins of Judah, and they shall not be found: for I will pardon them whom I reserve. Verse 21 More Cities Destroyed Verse 22 Warfare scripture 22 A sound of battle is in the land, and of great destruction. Verses 23 - 24 Judgement on Babylon Verse 25 Warfare Scripture 25 The Lord hath opened his armoury, and hath brought forth the weapons of his indignation: for this is the work of the Lord God of hosts in the land of the Chaldeans. Verses 26 - 32 Babylon Judged Verse 32 Warfare scripture 32 And the most proud shall stumble and fall, and none shall raise him up: and I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it shall devour all round about him. Verse 33 Oppression of Israel and Judah Verse 34 Redeemer of Israel and Judah Verse 35 - 42 Destruction of Babylon Verses 35 - 40 Warfare Scriptures 35 A sword is upon the Chaldeans, saith the Lord, and upon the inhabitants of Babylon, and upon her princes, and upon her wise men. 36 A sword is upon the liars; and they shall dote: a sword is upon her mighty men; and they shall be dismayed. 37 A sword is upon their horses, and upon their chariots, and upon all the mingled people that are in the midst of her; and they shall become as women: a sword is upon her treasures; and they shall be robbed. 38 A drought is upon her waters; and they shall be dried up: for it is the land of graven images, and they are mad upon their idols. 39 Therefore the wild beasts of the desert with the wild beasts of the islands shall dwell there, and the owls shall dwell therein: and it shall be no more inhabited for ever; neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation. 40 As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbour cities thereof, saith the Lord; so shall no man abide there, neither shall any son of man dwell therein. Verses 43 - 44 Reaction of the King of Babylon 43 The king of Babylon hath heard the report of them, and his hands waxed feeble: anguish took hold of him, and pangs as of a woman in travail. 44 Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of Jordan unto the habitation of the strong: but I will make them suddenly run away from her: and who is a chosen man, that I may appoint over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the time? And who is that shepherd that will stand before me? Verses 45 - 46 Counsel of the Lord 45 Therefore hear ye the counsel of the Lord, that he hath taken against Babylon; and his purposes, that he hath purposed against the land of the Chaldeans: Surely the least of the flock shall draw them out: surely he shall make their habitation desolate with them. 46 At the noise of the taking of Babylon the earth is moved, and the cry is heard among the nations.

Verses 8 - 9 Babylon Fallen Verse 10 The Righteousness of God 10 The Lord hath brought forth our righteousness: come, and let us declare in Zion the work of the Lord our God. Verses 11 - 13 Babylon Destroyed Verses 14 - 16 Warfare Scriptures 14 The Lord of hosts hath sworn by himself, saying, Surely I will fill thee with men, as with caterpillars; and they shall lift up a shout against thee. 15 He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heaven by his understanding. 16 When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens; and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth: he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures. Verses 17 - 18 Falsehoods of Babylon Verse 19 Jerusalem’s Portion 19 The portion of Jacob is not like them; for he is the former of all things: and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: the Lord of hosts is his name.

Verse 44 Babylon's Idols Judged Verse 45 God’s Call for Repentance Verse 46 Division in the Land Verse 47 God Promises to Judge the gods of Babylon Verse 48 Spoilers Released Upon Babylon Verse 49 Slain of Babylon Fall Verse 50 Jews who Escaped should Remember Jerusalem Verse 51 Strangers in the Lord’s House Verse 52 Promise of Judgement on the Images of Babylon Verse 53 Spoilers Upon Babylon Verse 54 Destruction of the Chaldeans Verse 55 Babylon became Noise Verse 56 God of Recompense Requite Verse 57 Perpetual Sleep for the Elites of Babylon Verse 58 Burning of the Walls and Gates of Babylon Verses 59 - 64 Final Instructions of Jeremiah 59 The word which Jeremiah the prophet commanded Seraiah the son of Neriah, the son of Maaseiah, when he went with Zedekiah the king of Judah into Babylon in the fourth year of his reign. And this Seraiah was a quiet prince. 60 So Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should come upon Babylon, even all these words that are written against Babylon. 61 And Jeremiah said to Seraiah, When thou comest to Babylon, and shalt see, and shalt read all these words; 62 Then shalt thou say, O Lord, thou hast spoken against this place, to cut it off, that none shall remain in it, neither man nor beast, but that it shall be desolate for ever. 63 And it shall be, when thou hast made an end of reading this book, that thou shalt bind a stone to it, and cast it into the midst of Euphrates: 64 And thou shalt say, Thus shall Babylon sink, and shall not rise from the evil that I will bring upon her: and they shall be weary. Thus far are the words of Jeremiah. CONCLUSION I tell you this Blog post has almost travelled the world with me. The afflictions were not Jeremiah’s alone, they were also mine. I have rewritten these lines about three times. The corrupt Chinese, Pakistanis, Indians and Caucasians have stolen not only the Bibles but the written work. I am now almost one year behind in my posting. Most of my other works have been deleted off my GDrive. People are going around with trucks marked ‘shred-it’. In October my FaceBook Account was closed illegally. All attempts to have it opened have been futile. Then, you thought you had challenges. I have only one more Blog post on the book of Jeremiah. This book has taught me that I need to get some Bible history under my belt. It has also taught me why most Pastors do not teach the full Gospel. It is too much work. Before I begin my next series I am going to cover myself with some serious prayers. You will all like the new series. I know I am going to love it! This is Raphleta, Lillene’s baby girl coming to you from Toronto, Canada. À bientôt REFERENCES The Book of Jeremiah - King James Version of the Bible

THE BOOK OF JEREMIAH LIFE LESSONS IN PLANS AND PURPOSES

Original Link INTRODUCTION Mon peuple, Mon peuple In terms of my earlier writings I told you I would pick up after my flight from Wyoming. I had to return to Denver, Colorado. The last part of my trip is like a whirlwind because of the transportation situation. There are really three main transportation hubs in the North of the United States outside of New York. They are Chicago, Illinois, Minneapolis, Minnesota and Columbus, Ohio. I have been through all three in terms of bus transportation. I also went through Cincinnati, Ohio at one point. Before I transitioned into Canada. I went to South Dakota. I can't seem to remember much about this State. I used the map of the United States to jog my memory and discovered that all I did was pass through Sioux Falls. I did Omaha City, Omaha. They gave me so many problems with transportation and fare that I forgot to go look at Warren Buffet’s house.Then I did Des Moines, Iowa. There were some nice outlet cities in this city. This is where I started to try and post my money. Headed to Minnesota, Illinois and then my bags were stolen in Jackson, Michigan which I explain below.People if you have not realized by now this will help you in your travels. It does not matter how big the city is, they are all based on the European model. I suppose I will find the same thing in Africa. This model says most major government buildings are located within a five mile radius e.g I am in Toronto within that radius starting with the City Hall, in fact they have two, an old and a new almost side by side. You have the courthouse, the major theatre, ballet opera etc. You have the police Headquarters, you always have a library, the major bank, the major supermarket and the bus terminal or Central station. Always! Sometimes you will find the hospital or University as in the case of Toronto because it has the space. But the hospital and university are never far off. In the United States if you want to know a city, get the location of four Walmarts, the one in the east, west, north and south then you will know the major transportation system and the city. That is how I got to know Des Moines, Salt Lake City and Billings Montana, quickly. I found the Walmarts. The reason why is out of the scope of this Blog. Just know it is for economic purposes. A lot of businesses cannot compete against the Walmart model, only the Dollar Stores. I decided that before I do anything else I am going to exercise my squatters rights and get you people caught up on some of my activities and put some of your minds at ease by indicating that I am okay and I am really anticipating 2021. I have been anticipating it since 2017! Lord help my Holy Ghost! People I do not even remember where I left you because the main job of the Nazis and Mafias have been to shut me down at all cause. I am going to have to fill in the details as we go along but I want to pick up with you in Jackson, Michigan. I tell you I am typing and the peeping toms on the computer cannot even wait for me to develop the story. Anyway the Greyhound bus drove away with my bags. They could not believe their luck because I did not leave the bus without taking my bag with all my documents. This time because it was an official Greyhound bus terminal I just took my food bag to look for something to eat. I was careless because when I was in Chicago they did a simulation of the same thing, driving away with a young man’s bags. I keep telling you people in all of this the only mistake I keep making is to underestimate the integrity of criminals. As I hit the bathroom, the black woman in the office at the Jackson bus station closed the bathroom door. She just called out informing me that the bus was going away. It was all planned and beautifully executed. In order to continue stealing my money and using my accounts for money laundering they now have an original copy of my birth certificate and my citizenship certificate from Canada. However, let me continue. They sent another criminal bus service, Miller's, in the night with one black criminal passenger in the bus and charged me an additional US$32 to get to Detroit. I just paid it and cursed the two of them and told them that they were all criminals and that I had a knife if they planned to do anything. The first five rows in the bus were locked down because they had their plans. I just sat at row number three and told them I had no intention of sleeping until I reached heaven (I just added the last part; it sounds nice). The finer details are for the book or blog like I had to stand in the cold and pray from 6 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. until the Miller’s crooks bus came. I went to the Jackson Police department twice to report my bags stolen and they did not even push out their heads. Since I knew the genesis of the criminality was from Germany I just walked away singing. Germany I shifted my prayer. Now I tell no one who I am praying for. Not after those fools in Ethiopia. Damn fools! I really rate the Nigerians. They have gotten a whole lot of you to do foolishness.What do they do ? Tell you all that they have an inside line to King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia? I believe them. The only inside line is a line to the Holy Spirit. This question came to mind, I wonder how much they offered Dr. Myles Munroe to become a Muslim? It is rhetorical!! Moving right along people! Detroit was something else. As soon as I reached there the border closed but there were vehicles going through. The reason I took this route and not a plane was because I wanted to go through the tunnel from Detroit to Windsor, Ontario. Bad choice!! Now people wanted me to stay in Detroit. I had to go to the Walmart to book my ticket at which time they changed my destination from Ontario, Canada to Ontario, California. Damn crooked #Caucasians! I ended up having to pay an additional US four hundred dollars to retrace my steps. Me again people, very careless!! Attention to details!! People expected me to be angry. I just kept asking for a Bible no one had any to offer. That is why I do my devotion every morning before making a step because my enemies are more than the hairs on my head especially now that they are removing most of my hair. Many times it is because of the guidance of the Holy Spirit why I just jump over every trap that has been set for me. In Ontario, California they had everything laid for me to leave the Airport. I said I am not moving one foot from here. I have already done California. I do not want to live in the USA. In Detroit on my way to the Airport after booking my flight they stole my knife and my bowl of soup and biscuits out of my bag. When I reached Detroit the Greyhound people evicted me off their compound. I went back for my bags before I left they had a white liar telling me I had to return to Jackson. People, I have enough sins in order not to have too much I just kept my mouth shut and left the integrityless white people and their place and just forward the case to the higher judge. In all of this I was grateful that the little black fellow who really should deal with the matter refused to lie to me. May God help him and his generations going forward. I ended up buying a Bible in Salt Lake City, Utah. They were tired of me going around asking in every book store if they sold Bibles. It was one ugly pink thing. I have been saving up my money and waiting until this is all over to get me another Thomson Chain Reference Study Bible leather bound with black, brown or burgundy cover. My Bible is a serious tool, nothing frivolous about it. I do not need a pink Bible to know that I am a woman. Suffice it to say that my second night at the Toronto Pearson Airport the Pakistani and Indians stole it. One Pakistani Security guard came to harass me in the middle of my devotion in Terminal Three and in my hurry to get away from the Lesbian I forgot my Bible in the bathroom. I normally use a book to block up the sensor that automatically flushes the toilet or it will flush every two minutes.Hence, the reason for my Bible not being among my things. It was covering the toilet sensor. Fifteen minutes after I asked another security guard about it he told me no one saw it, US$27 stolen. Another theft in Canada. Anyway people, I have to tell you this, during my flight I decided to go back to the original Raphleta. I decided to play Chess and Sudoku. I started with some brain teasers. The plane looked like a Boeing 737, very spacious with video displays. When I started playing Chess some of the Air Waiters came out and looked at me. By the time I reached the Sudoku game which had three levels. I started at the middle level and did it in a little over seven minutes. Then the Air waiters came and looked at me again. Then I moved to the hardest level. By the time I made a couple of mathematical moves the Air Waiters came again to look at me. May I tell you why they kept coming? As usual the criminals had decided to evaluate me while I was flying. Obviously mad people do not play Chess and Sudoku. Me, myself and I have been doing it for years. On the return journey in order to lock me down on the leg from Salt Lake City to Toronto they changed the plane to a smaller version with no video displays. I laughed throughout the whole flight with the little white lady in her black and white socks beside me, looking at me. In Canada, I decided to use the library services to start putting my files together and continued to try and get a computer. The conclusion to that is that the Brampton Library went under partial lock down going back to curbside services. Mississauga Library was only giving me one hour and they did everything to cut that in half. They ran down the time, slowed down the computer and blocked most of my screens. I had to write a complaint and advise them that I walked out of the Brampton Library because of their foolishness. Can you imagine people? I am there using the computer and the crooks and criminals decided to send a foul smelling white guy to sit in front of me. I said enough, was enough and left!! Plus the Library staff and these Chinese termites give one no peace anywhere. Since I had already demonstrated in Brampton, Mississauga and Toronto I decided to just move on to the next set of Canadian terrorists in Ottawa. Lord help my Holy Ghost! In fact Toronto brought out the different bus services the first day I demonstrated. After filing my lawsuit against the Toronto Police at the Small Claims Court I just left. The people at the courthouse were another treat after I entered the building and was on the third floor. They are giving me a COVID questionnaire after they had abandoned their positions deliberately because they did not want to give me any information. I filled it out and returned it at the end of the day as per the information on the form. I decided to go say hi to my brother Jack and told him no hard feelings and I wish him all the best for the New Year. I tell you it snowed so hard I just decided to stop at the Fairview Mall and shelter. I had a serious prayer session. I took on the thieving spirits which were molesting me. I had one lady offer me a fifty dollar bill. I told her thanks but no thanks I am well taken care of. I am realizing that people are trying to use money to bind me up. She placed it on me. I didn't even touch it. I dropped it right where she gave me. Eventually the owners came for it. I have been having some serious reflections on the spirit of mammon. I have seen people do some things for money. The guys on the motivational circle would always say one of the first things you need to have worked out is your money philosophy. I now realize what they are talking about. The next day at around eleven I moved. Seems St. Catharines does not have a budget for removing snow because except for a few places all the snow was still on the road. I gingerly made my way to Mr. Taylor. I must stop here and say that is one of the things to be admired about Mississauga. When it comes to the removal of snow they are on the ball. I have never had a traffic hold up because of snow on the road in Mississauga. They need to teach the USA how it is done. A little snow fell. The next thing I know the road is closed, traffic jams, the bus is not moving and all the snow is still on the road. Happened to me in New Mexico. Well Mr. Taylor did not want to see me but I was able to get a shower and launder my one suit of clothes. Looks like the crooks placed some chemicals to shrink my clothes, especially my stockings. By the time a little fellow who is a sperm donor turned up I was ready to leave because Mr. Taylor was being very unco-operative and since I did not want him to be harassed any further I left, gingerly making my way through the mounds of snow on the road. I returned to Toronto and the next day attempted to make my way to Ottawa via Via Rail. At Union Station there were no machines to buy your tickets so I promptly took a Go Train to Oshawa to buy a ticket from the machine not realizing that the corrupt Canadians had taken out all the machines. Why did I go through so much trouble? The last time I bought a ticket the crooks overcharged me by CAN$29. Here the story gets very interesting. I reached early and had to wait a little over one hour, one hour for the cashiers to open and the next fifteen or so minutes for the train. There was a Walmart nearby that I remember from my previous experience. I got a bus to the Walmart which was about fifteen minutes in all. Of course the dishonest white driver did not give me my transfer, mouthing some foolishness about COVID-19. I just ignored him. I tell you people my salvation is precious to me, I cannot waste it on dishonest white people. I was almost at the bus stop when you know the bus had to turn up early and I missed it. This meant that I would miss the train. Not a problem, I got a ride to the bridge from the next bus and then began to walk. Their snow was not so bad. I had walked for about five minutes when the Holy Spirit said to me finally, Raphleta I have got you to myself. You have been so busy. He just started linking events for me! Yes, Raphleta the flight that you saw on the arrivals board at Terminal 3 Pearson International from Montego Bay to Toronto, the fact that the PM of Canada had come out in support of Jamaica, the fact that the Consulate in Toronto had only confirmed that they have received your email to cancel your passport without giving you a proper reply, they are all linked to your stolen passport which is being used to steal your money and launder money. I said what? And dropped my bags in the snow! Then he started to link up more things for me. I took up my bags and said thank you Holy Spirit! I began to step strongly! When I was almost near the train station there blocking my way were some criminals sent by the top brass. Ah sey tell the Jamaican criminals dem sey fi cancel mi passport dem nah use my documents fi teef any more money and unuh move outta mi way unuh damn crooks di whole ah unuh!! Tell di Jamaican politicians dem fi gi up criminality if dem nuh rich yet and dem a teef suh long dem might as well gi up now and I walked and went to book for the next train to Ottawa. Interpretation - I said tell the Jamaican criminals to cancel my passport and not use my documents to steal any more money. Remove yourselves out of my way, you are all crooks. Tell the Jamaican Politicians to give up criminality. If they have been stealing all this time and they are not rich as yet. They will never be rich. The train ride was the next treat. They actually lengthened the journey by disabling a CN Rail train on the track. We had to turn back. Instead of reaching 5:00 p.m. we reached 7:00 p.m. Thanks to the brilliance of the crooked and criminal Chinese. They had me surrounded in the train. This was supposed to be another evaluation session. When I realized what was taking place I just wrote on a piece of paper ‘DAMN WHITE CRIMINAL’ and showed it to the Whiteman who was sitting opposite me and was supposed to be evaluating me. I then continued to read my case and make my jottings. Then I did my devotion and read the Bible that someone placed in the Chapel at Pearson Airport from House of Praise with the Winners receipt in it and the couple scriptures marked in the Psalms and paid the whole crooked lot of them no mind. This time they only served dry biscuits. I almost laughed. When we reached the train station in Ottawa the police were present. I had to say to myself. No wonder there is so much criminality in the world. It is the criminals who are in charge of the police and army. They had them steal my bags and now because they cannot get me illegally they are trying to intimidate me. Thus far I have demonstrated twice once while it was snowing. One of my placard says: CORRUPT CANADIAN AND JAMAICAN CRIMINALS CANCEL MY STOLEN PASSPORTS ET AL STOP STEALING MONEY AND USING MY ACS FOR MONEY LAUNDERING TRUDEAU/MENDOCINO HOLNESS/SMITH-JOHNSON After the first demonstration I went to the Rideau Centre to use the bathroom, all the different tribes were waiting for me. I ignored everyone! Then the Nigerian turned up speaking on the top of her voice and rebuking demons in the name of Jesus. I ignored her and started singing to drown out her conversation. After she left I said but Daddy my passports are Jamaican and Canadian. I have no GREEN PASSPORT, why are the Nigerians trying to woo me? If they are the one stealing my money all they have to do is replace it. Anyway, I decided that after a number of attempts to get proper accommodation I would not be letting the new year catch me without proper shelter. The last attempt to rent somewhere the Whiteman had me standing around thirty minutes in the cold waiting to be picked up and taken to a prospective location. He had me like Oliver Samuels would say walking off mi (my) boot heel! I decided I would just book into a hotel. Since the process was seamless in the USA. I thought it would be the same thing in Canada. Oh Canada!! The thing the crooks and criminals are using against me is the fact that I do not have a credit Card. I only have debit or cash. If I do not have either? I do not flow. Suffice it to say after about ten attempts I ended up at Holiday Inn in Kanata. I was looking forward to presenting my bill to you for the $329 per room at Chateau Laurier but when I reached there to pay my money they changed their mind about over charging me and ran me out of the hotel. I had to give the young man a lesson in integrity. I said ‘Do not try to turn me into a liar just say that you have changed your mind.’ I was willing to pay $1,000 per night just to get some peace and quiet going into the new year. When I left the Chateau Laurier the Nazis and Mafias sent one Whiteman to harass me. I went into him like the ‘Bananaman’. I was not very gentle. He called me racist. I said you have not seen anything yet, come near me and I will slash your throat. He called me a bitch etc! I said bring it on. We were at the stoplights white people right beside me and white people on the other side observing us. I just shouted and said the best stress reliever cursing white people better than tobacco, drugs and alcohol rolled into one and went on my way to Kanata. They gave me a double bedroom with many mirrors and charged me $308for two nights and a $250 deposit refundable. The first night they turned off the internet at 10:30 p.m. This is the time I was just getting into my stride. I had just completed downloading the The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedom to go answer the law student who wanted to throw out my case because he said it was frivolous and vexatious to the spirit. The internet person wanted me to give him the IP address. I ignored him and hung up!! Then they violated my presence by entering my room when I was sleeping. The Chinese and Germans continuously sprinkling powder on my feet to get them to swell. One of my feet is bigger than the other. I nearly lost both my feet because they slit the little toe on my right foot and then they put poison in the corn cushions I placed on my toes. I nearly lost my toe. I had to pray for my feet back to life. Then the chemical that the Germans placed on my feet is more deadly than that of the Chinese, Pakistanis and Indians. It just removed my epidermis. Now they are injecting me with foreign substances because I am not swelling to the size they want. Now do you see why good people for example in California have nothing to do with these people. Well people, I have bought a computer which I do not control. Through many toils and snares I have typed this FB post. The system has been shut down on me a number of times. The best picture I have of what took place is this cartoon by Clovis. I would use the different ethnicities, flags and clothing. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔😎😎😎😎😎😎😎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😇😇😇🌏🌏🌏😏😏😏 JAMAICAOBSERVER.COM Saturday, December 26, 2020 Add to Your Post 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. I tell you people I thought I had seen Spiritual Warfare. I realized that I had just had a taste. The touching of this book of Jeremiah seems to be serious higher level warfare. After I had rewritten February’s Blog then my notes reappeared. I ignored them! They have all disappeared again.We continue to thank Daddy for the Spirit of completion.

Realization of judgment on Judah and Jerusalem 36-45 Chapter 36 The Scroll Read in the Temple This is a very interesting chapter. This is where Jeremiah was thrown in prison and King Zedekiah the tattooed fornicator burnt his scroll piece by piece. Verses 1 - 2 Instructions from God to Write When I started to keep my journal I just heard,’ Raphleta start writing down your experiences.’ 1 And it came to pass in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, that this word came unto Jeremiah from the Lord, saying, 2 Take thee a roll of a book, and write therein all the words that I have spoken unto thee against Israel, and against Judah, and against all the nations, from the day I spake unto thee, from the days of Josiah, even unto this day. Verse 4 Baruch the Scribe 4 Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah: and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the Lord, which he had spoken unto him, upon a roll of a book. Verses 5 - 6 Baruch Sent 5 And Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, I am shut up; I cannot go into the house of the Lord: 6 Therefore go thou, and read in the roll, which thou hast written from my mouth, the words of the Lord in the ears of the people in the Lord's house upon the fasting day: and also thou shalt read them in the ears of all Judah that come out of their cities. Verses 9 - 10 Jeremiah Read During the Time of Fasting 9 And it came to pass in the fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, in the ninth month, that they proclaimed a fast before the Lord to all the people in Jerusalem, and to all the people that came from the cities of Judah unto Jerusalem. 10 Then read Baruch in the book the words of Jeremiah in the house of the Lord, in the chamber of Gemariah the son of Shaphan the scribe, in the higher court, at the entry of the new gate of the Lord's house, in the ears of all the people. All the people heard the word. Michaiah heard the words and told the princes and scribes and some other people. The Princes then sent for Baruch to read in their presence. You know how royalty loves to summon people. If I summon you I am just exercising my right as a royal. Lord help my Holy Ghost!! We pick up the chapter there. The Scroll Read in the Palace Verses 14 - 16 First Reading in the Palace Those of you who are saying that no black people are in the Bible Jehudi was of the lineage of Cush. We have already spoken about the Ethiopians!! We have passed the gentle Jesus meek and mild stage people. It is now time for black people to rightly divide the word of TRUTH!! 14 Therefore all the princes sent Jehudi the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, unto Baruch, saying, Take in thine hand the roll wherein thou hast read in the ears of the people, and come. So Baruch the son of Neriah took the roll in his hand, and came unto them. 15 And they said unto him, Sit down now, and read it in our ears. So Baruch read it in their ears. 16 Now it came to pass, when they had heard all the words, they were afraid both one and other, and said unto Baruch, We will surely tell the king of all these words. Verse 19 Princes Advise Baruch and Jeremiah to Go into Hiding 19 Then said the princes unto Baruch, Go, hide thee, thou and Jeremiah; and let no man know where ye be. Verse 21- 23 The King Destroys Jeremiah’s Scroll As I was praying by Rouge Hill the other night after I had written the statement at verse 14. It would not leave me. In fact, it was expanded. I was reminded that Jehudi was right there in the palace reading to the King. I cast my mind back to Simon of Cyrene who carried the cross of Jesus St. Luke 23 verse 26. This was not an accident that is black people’s territory, this is the Middle East everybody would mix and mingle. The fact that he was chosen was divine, not an accident. I tell you we black people have really been brainwashed. We need to get back to our place of dominion in our surroundings and world. Yul Brenner is now dead. Let us see if they are going to have any more shows with Pharaohs. He was a compromise for the real thing. 21 So the king sent Jehudi to fetch the roll: and he took it out of Elishama the scribe's chamber. And Jehudi read it in the ears of the king, and in the ears of all the princes which stood beside the king. 22 Now the king sat in the winterhouse in the ninth month: and there was a fire on the hearth burning before him. 23 And it came to pass, that when Jehudi had read three or four leaves, he cut it with the penknife, and cast it into the fire that was on the hearth, until all the roll was consumed in the fire that was on the hearth. Verse 26 The Lord Hid Jeremiah from the King 26 But the king commanded Jerahmeel the son of Hammelech, and Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel, to take Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet: but the Lord hid them. Verses 27 - 28 Jeremiah Rewrites the Scroll 27 Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, after that the king had burned the roll, and the words which Baruch wrote at the mouth of Jeremiah, saying, 28 Take thee again another roll, and write in it all the former words that were in the first roll, which Jehoiakim the king of Judah hath burned.. Verses 30 - 31 Judgment on Jehoiakim king of Judah and his Family Note verse 30 is prophetic. So said so done! 30 Therefore thus saith the Lord of Jehoiakim king of Judah; He shall have none to sit upon the throne of David: and his dead body shall be cast out in the day to the heat, and in the night to the frost. 31 And I will punish him and his seed and his servants for their iniquity; and I will bring upon them, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and upon the men of Judah, all the evil that I have pronounced against them; but they hearkened not. Verse 32 Scroll Rewritten 32 Then took Jeremiah another roll, and gave it to Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah; who wrote therein from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the book which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire: and there were added besides unto them many like words. Chapter 37 Zedekiah's Vain Hope After ignoring the commands of God, King Zedekiah who was reigning instead of his nephew Coniah sought prayer from Jeremiah. Humanity has not changed; we want things from God without obeying Him. Verse 3 King Zedekiah asked Jeremiah for Prayer I am wondering if the Zepheniah mentioned in this verse is the same one who wrote the book of Zephaniah. Zephaniah the black prophet people Zephaniah 1 verse 1. These are the things you do not learn at Bible school. You might ask too many questions. 3 And Zedekiah the king sent Jehucal the son of Shelemiah and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest to the prophet Jeremiah, saying, Pray now unto the Lord our God for us. Verse 4 Jeremiah was a Free Man at that time 4 Now Jeremiah came in and went out among the people: for they had not put him into prison. Verses 7 - 10 Jeremiah Predicts Defeat 7 Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel; Thus shall ye say to the king of Judah, that sent you unto me to enquire of me; Behold, Pharaoh's army, which is come forth to help you, shall return to Egypt into their own land. 8 And the Chaldeans shall come again, and fight against this city, and take it, and burn it with fire. 9 Thus saith the Lord; Deceive not yourselves, saying, The Chaldeans shall surely depart from us: for they shall not depart. 10 For though ye had smitten the whole army of the Chaldeans that fight against you, and there remained but wounded men among them, yet should they rise up every man in his tent, and burn this city with fire. Verses 13 - 14 Jeremiah Accosted 13 And when he was in the gate of Benjamin, a captain of the ward was there, whose name was Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah; and he took Jeremiah the prophet, saying, Thou fallest away to the Chaldeans. 14 Then said Jeremiah, It is false; I fall not away to the Chaldeans. But he hearkened not to him: so Irijah took Jeremiah, and brought him to the princes. Verses 15 - 16 Jeremiah Struck and Imprisoned 15 Wherefore the princes were wroth with Jeremiah, and smote him, and put him in prison in the house of Jonathan the scribe: for they had made that the prison. 16 When Jeremiah was entered into the dungeon, and into the cabins, and Jeremiah had remained there many days; Verse 17 King Zedekiah Seeks a Prophecy 17 Then Zedekiah the king sent, and took him out: and the king asked him secretly in his house, and said, Is there any word from the Lord? And Jeremiah said, There is: for, said he, thou shalt be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon. Verses 18 - 20 Jeremiah Pleads for Mercy 18 Moreover Jeremiah said unto king Zedekiah, What have I offended against thee, or against thy servants, or against this people, that ye have put me in prison? 19 Where are now your prophets which prophesied unto you, saying, The king of Babylon shall not come against you, nor against this land? 20 Therefore hear now, I pray thee, O my lord the king: let my supplication, I pray thee, be accepted before thee; that thou cause me not to return to the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest I die there. Verse 21 Jeremiah Fed Bread 21 Then Zedekiah the king commanded that they should commit Jeremiah into the court of the prison, and that they should give him daily a piece of bread out of the bakers' street, until all the bread in the city were spent. Thus Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison. Chapter 38 Jeremiah in the Dungeon Jeremiah prophesied that those who surrendered to the Chaldeans would be saved and those who did not would die. As a result the Princes decided to put him in the dungeon because they thought he was demotivating the people. The dungeon was full of muck. Verse 6 Dungeon full of Mire 6 Then took they Jeremiah, and cast him into the dungeon of Malchiah the son of Hammelech, that was in the court of the prison: and they let down Jeremiah with cords. And in the dungeon there was no water, but mire: so Jeremiah sunk in the mire. Verse 7 The Ethiopian Made Aware of Jeremiah’s Situation 7 Now when Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, one of the eunuchs which was in the king's house, heard that they had put Jeremiah in the dungeon; the king then sitting in the gate of Benjamin; Verses 8 - 13 Ebed-Melech Pleaded for the Release of Jeremiah Ebed-Melech is an Ethiopian; he was right there in the king’s palace and reasoned with the king. It shall be well with all us Ethiopians. 8 Ebedmelech went forth out of the king's house, and spake to the king saying, 9 My lord the king, these men have done evil in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom they have cast into the dungeon; and he is like to die for hunger in the place where he is: for there is no more bread in the city. 10 Then the king commanded Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, saying, Take from hence thirty men with thee, and take up Jeremiah the prophet out of the dungeon, before he die. 11 So Ebedmelech took the men with him, and went into the house of the king under the treasury, and took thence old cast clouts and old rotten rags, and let them down by cords into the dungeon to Jeremiah. 12 And Ebed Melech the Ethiopian said unto Jeremiah, Put now these old cast clouts and rotten rags under thine arm holes under the cords. And Jeremiah did so. 13 So they drew up Jeremiah with cords, and took him up out of the dungeon: and Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison. Verses 14 - 16 Zedekiah’s Fears 14 Then Zedekiah the king sent, and took Jeremiah the prophet unto him into the third entry that is in the house of the Lord: and the king said unto Jeremiah, I will ask thee a thing; hide nothing from me. 15 Then Jeremiah said unto Zedekiah, If I declare it unto thee, wilt thou not surely put me to death? and if I give thee counsel, wilt thou not hearken unto me? 16 So Zedekiah the king sware secretly unto Jeremiah, saying, As the Lord liveth, that made us this soul, I will not put thee to death, neither will I give thee into the hand of these men that seek thy life. Verses 17- 18 Jetremiah’s Advice 17 Then said Jeremiah unto Zedekiah, Thus saith the Lord, the God of hosts, the God of Israel; If thou wilt assuredly go forth unto the king of Babylon's princes, then thy soul shall live, and this city shall not be burned with fire; and thou shalt live, and thine house: 18 But if thou wilt not go forth to the king of Babylon's princes, then shall this city be given into the hand of the Chaldeans, and they shall burn it with fire, and thou shalt not escape out of their hand. He also gave some more advice! Verses 24 - 25 Jetremiah Sworn to Secrecy 24 Then said Zedekiah unto Jeremiah, Let no man know of these words, and thou shalt not die. 25 But if the princes hear that I have talked with thee, and they come unto thee, and say unto thee, Declare unto us now what thou hast said unto the king, hide it not from us, and we will not put thee to death; also what the king said unto thee: Verse 27 - 28 Jeremiah Obeyed 27 Then came all the princes unto Jeremiah, and asked him: and he told them according to all these words that the king had commanded. So they left off speaking with him; for the matter was not perceived. 28 So Jeremiah abode in the court of the prison until the day that Jerusalem was taken: and he was there when Jerusalem was taken. Chapter 39 The Fall of Jerusalem Verses 2 - 7 King Zedekiah did not Obey Jeremiah’s Instructions 2 And in the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, the ninth day of the month, the city was broken up. 3 And all the princes of the king of Babylon came in, and sat in the middle gate, even Nergalsharezer, Samgarnebo, Sarsechim, Rabsaris, Nergalsharezer, Rabmag, with all the residue of the princes of the king of Babylon. 4 And it came to pass, that when Zedekiah the king of Judah saw them, and all the men of war, then they fled, and went forth out of the city by night, by the way of the king's garden, by the gate betwixt the two walls: and he went out the way of the plain. 5 But the Chaldeans' army pursued after them, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho: and when they had taken him, they brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he gave judgment upon him. 6 Then the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah in Riblah before his eyes: also the king of Babylon slew all the nobles of Judah. 7 Moreover he put out Zedekiah's eyes, and bound him with chains, to carry him to Babylon. Verse 8 Chaldeans Destroy the City 8 And the Chaldeans burned the king's house, and the houses of the people, with fire, and brake down the walls of Jerusalem. Verse 9 People Taken into Captivity to Babylon 9 Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive into Babylon the remnant of the people that remained in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to him, with the rest of the people that remained. Verse 10 The Disenfranchised given Vineyards and Fields 10 But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left of the poor of the people, which had nothing, in the land of Judah, and gave them vineyards and fields at the same time. Verses 12 -14 Jeremiah Goes Free 12 Take him, and look well to him, and do him no harm; but do unto him even as he shall say unto thee. 13 So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard sent, and Nebushasban, Rabsaris, and Nergalsharezer, Rabmag, and all the king of Babylon's princes; 14 Even they sent, and took Jeremiah out of the court of the prison, and committed him unto Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, that he should carry him home: so he dwelt among the people. Verses 15 - 18 Jeremiah Prophecies to Ebed-Melech the Ethiopian I tell you #Ethiopia it is well with you. It does not matter what the enemy is doing. 15 Now the word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah, while he was shut up in the court of the prison, saying, 16 Go and speak to Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, saying, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring my words upon this city for evil, and not for good; and they shall be accomplished in that day before thee. 17 But I will deliver thee in that day, saith the Lord: and thou shalt not be given into the hand of the men of whom thou art afraid. 18 For I will surely deliver thee, and thou shalt not fall by the sword, but thy life shall be for a prey unto thee: because thou hast put thy trust in me, saith the Lord. Chapter 40 Jeremiah with Gedaliah the Governor Verses 5 - 6 Jeremiah Handed over to the Governor of Judah 5 Now while he was not yet gone back, he said, Go back also to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon hath made governor over the cities of Judah, and dwell with him among the people: or go wheresoever it seemeth convenient unto thee to go. So the captain of the guard gave him victuals and a reward, and let him go. 6 Then went Jeremiah unto Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah; and dwelt with him among the people that were left in the land. Verses 9 - 12 The Remnant Prospers The formula to God’s prosperity just be where He says you are to be. No long complicated formula and He needs no one's permission. All the rich people were in captivity but the people were having an abundant harvest. Reminds me of David and the four hundred indebted and disgruntled people he began with I Samuel 22 verse 2. 9 And Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan sware unto them and to their men, saying, Fear not to serve the Chaldeans: dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you. 10 As for me, behold, I will dwell at Mizpah, to serve the Chaldeans, which will come unto us: but ye, gather ye wine, and summer fruits, and oil, and put them in your vessels, and dwell in your cities that ye have taken. 11 Likewise when all the Jews that were in Moab, and among the Ammonites, and in Edom, and that were in all the countries, heard that the king of Babylon had left a remnant of Judah, and that he had set over them Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan; 12 Even all the Jews returned out of all places whither they were driven, and came to the land of Judah, to Gedaliah, unto Mizpah, and gathered wine and summer fruits very much. Verses 13 - 16 The Enemy turns up to bring Confusion 13 Moreover Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were in the fields, came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, 14 And said unto him, Dost thou certainly know that Baalis the king of the Ammonites hath sent Ishmael the son of Nethaniah to slay thee? But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam believed them not. 15 Then Johanan the son of Kareah spake to Gedaliah in Mizpah secretly saying, Let me go, I pray thee, and I will slay Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and no man shall know it: wherefore should he slay thee, that all the Jews which are gathered unto thee should be scattered, and the remnant in Judah perish? 16 But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam said unto Johanan the son of Kareah, Thou shalt not do this thing: for thou speakest falsely of Ishmael. Chapter 41 Insurrection against Gedaliah Verses 1- 3 Gedaliah is Killed Lessons learnt: be careful who you break bread with and do not be careless with your life. 1 Now it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah the son of Elishama, of the seed royal, and the princes of the king, even ten men with him, came unto Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah; and there they did eat bread together in Mizpah. 2 Then arose Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and the ten men that were with him, and smote Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan with the sword, and slew him, whom the king of Babylon had made governor over the land. 3 Ishmael also slew all the Jews that were with him, even with Gedaliah, at Mizpah, and the Chaldeans that were found there, and the men of war. Verses 4 - 7 Ishmael the mass Murderer 4 And it came to pass the second day after he had slain Gedaliah, and no man knew it, 5 That there came certain from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, even fourscore men, having their beards shaven, and their clothes rent, and having cut themselves, with offerings and incense in their hand, to bring them to the house of the Lord. 6 And Ishmael the son of Nethaniah went forth from Mizpah to meet them, weeping all along as he went: and it came to pass, as he met them, he said unto them, Come to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam. 7 And it was so, when they came into the midst of the city, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah slew them, and cast them into the midst of the pit, he, and the men that were with him. Verse 8 Ten Escaped Death because they had Resources People have not changed! I tell you!! 8 But ten men were found among them that said unto Ishmael, Slay us not: for we have treasures in the field, of wheat, and of barley, and of oil, and of honey. So he forbare, and slew them not among their brethren. Verse 9 Pit Used as Burial Place in the Mass Murder was built by King Asa 9 Now the pit wherein Ishmael had cast all the dead bodies of the men, whom he had slain because of Gedaliah, was it which Asa the king had made for fear of Baasha king of Israel: and Ishmael the son of Nethaniah filled it with them that were slain. Verse 10 Ishmael took Away the People 10 Then Ishmael carried away captive all the residue of the people that were in Mizpah, even the king's daughters, and all the people that remained in Mizpah, whom Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had committed to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam: and Ishmael the son of Nethaniah carried them away captive, and departed to go over to the Ammonites. Verses 15 - 18 People Recovered Location changed because of Fear 15 But Ishmael the son of Nethaniah escaped from Johanan with eight men, and went to the Ammonites. 16 Then took Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, all the remnant of the people whom he had recovered from Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, from Mizpah, after that he had slain Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, even mighty men of war, and the women, and the children, and the eunuchs, whom he had brought again from Gibeon: 17 And they departed, and dwelt in the habitation of Chimham, which is by Bethlehem, to go to enter into Egypt, 18 Because of the Chaldeans: for they were afraid of them, because Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had slain Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon made governor in the land. Chapter 42 The Flight to Egypt Forbidden Verses 1- 3 The People seek Direction from the Lord 1 Then all the captains of the forces, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and Jezaniah the son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from the least even unto the greatest, came near, 2 And said unto Jeremiah the prophet, Let, we beseech thee, our supplication be accepted before thee, and pray for us unto the Lord thy God, even for all this remnant; (for we are left but a few of many, as thine eyes do behold us:) 3 That the Lord thy God may shew us the way wherein we may walk, and the thing that we may do. Verse 5 The People Promised to Obey God 5 Then they said to Jeremiah, The Lord be a true and faithful witness between us, if we do not even according to all things for the which the Lord thy God shall send thee to us Verse 6 Jeremiah Received an Answer in Ten Days People it is okay to wait on God. 6 Whether it be good, or whether it be evil, we will obey the voice of the Lord our God, to whom we send thee; that it may be well with us, when we obey the voice of the Lord our God. Verses 9 - 12 God’s Answer to the People 9 And said unto them, Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel, unto whom ye sent me to present your supplication before him; 10 If ye will still abide in this land, then will I build you, and not pull you down, and I will plant you, and not pluck you up: for I repent me of the evil that I have done unto you. 11 Be not afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom ye are afraid; be not afraid of him, saith the Lord: for I am with you to save you, and to deliver you from his hand. 12 And I will shew mercies unto you, that he may have mercy upon you, and cause you to return to your own land. Verses 13 - 22 Jeremiah Predicts Destruction in Egypt 13 But if ye say, We will not dwell in this land, neither obey the voice of the Lord your God, 14 Saying, No; but we will go into the land of Egypt, where we shall see no war, nor hear the sound of the trumpet, nor have hunger of bread; and there will we dwell: 15 And now therefore hear the word of the Lord, ye remnant of Judah; Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; If ye wholly set your faces to enter into Egypt, and go to sojourn there; 16 Then it shall come to pass, that the sword, which ye feared, shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt, and the famine, whereof ye were afraid, shall follow close after you there in Egypt; and there ye shall die. 17 So shall it be with all the men that set their faces to go into Egypt to sojourn there; they shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence: and none of them shall remain or escape from the evil that I will bring upon them. 18 For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; As mine anger and my fury hath been poured forth upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem; so shall my fury be poured forth upon you, when ye shall enter into Egypt: and ye shall be an execration, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach; and ye shall see this place no more. 19 The Lord hath said concerning you, O ye remnant of Judah; Go ye not into Egypt: know certainly that I have admonished you this day. 20 For ye dissembled in your hearts, when ye sent me unto the Lord your God, saying, Pray for us unto the Lord our God; and according unto all that the Lord our God shall say, so declare unto us, and we will do it. 21 And now I have this day declared it to you; but ye have not obeyed the voice of the Lord your God, nor any thing for the which he hath sent me unto you. 22 Now therefore know certainly that ye shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, in the place whither ye desire to go and to sojourn. Chapter 43 Jeremiah Taken to Egypt Verses 2 - 4 The People Ignore Jeremiah 2 Then spake Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the proud men, saying unto Jeremiah, Thou speakest falsely: the Lord our God hath not sent thee to say, Go not into Egypt to sojourn there: 3 But Baruch the son of Neriah setteth thee on against us, for to deliver us into the hand of the Chaldeans, that they might put us to death, and carry us away captives into Babylon. 4 So Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, and all the people, obeyed not the voice of the Lord, to dwell in the land of Judah. Verses 5 - 7 Everybody off to Egypt including Jeremiah 5 But Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, took all the remnant of Judah, that were returned from all nations, whither they had been driven, to dwell in the land of Judah; 6 Even men, and women, and children, and the king's daughters, and every person that Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had left with Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch the son of Neriah. 7 So they came into the land of Egypt: for they obeyed not the voice of the Lord: thus came they even to Tahpanhes. Verses 8 - 13 Jeremiah Predicts the King of Babylon to take over Egypt 8 Then came the word of the Lord unto Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying, 9 Take great stones in thine hand, and hide them in the clay in the brickkiln, which is at the entry of Pharaoh's house in Tahpanhes, in the sight of the men of Judah; 10 And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will send and take Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will set his throne upon these stones that I have hid; and he shall spread his royal pavilion over them. 11 And when he cometh, he shall smite the land of Egypt, and deliver such as are for death to death; and such as are for captivity to captivity; and such as are for the sword to the sword. 12 And I will kindle a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt; and he shall burn them, and carry them away captives: and he shall array himself with the land of Egypt, as a shepherd putteth on his garment; and he shall go forth from thence in peace. 13 He shall break also the images of Bethshemesh, that is in the land of Egypt; and the houses of the gods of the Egyptians shall he burn with fire. Chapter 44 The Israelites will be Punished in Egypt Jeremiah is reminding those in Egypt that the reason they are where they are is because of the same things they are now doing which resulted in the destruction of Jerusalem and Judah. Jeremiah is prophesying that if they remain hard hearted and continue the same actions that is exactly what is going to happen. Verses 7 - 10 Provocation by the people 7 Therefore now thus saith the Lord, the God of hosts, the God of Israel; Wherefore commit ye this great evil against your souls, to cut off from you man and woman, child and suckling, out of Judah, to leave you none to remain; 8 In that ye provoke me unto wrath with the works of your hands, burning incense unto other gods in the land of Egypt, whither ye be gone to dwell, that ye might cut yourselves off, and that ye might be a curse and a reproach among all the nations of the earth? 9 Have ye forgotten the wickedness of your fathers, and the wickedness of the kings of Judah, and the wickedness of their wives, and your own wickedness, and the wickedness of your wives, which they have committed in the land of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem? 10 They are not humbled even unto this day, neither have they feared, nor walked in my law, nor in my statutes, that I set before you and before your fathers. Verses 11 - 14 Jeremiah Pronounces Judgment 11 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will set my face against you for evil, and to cut off all Judah. 12 And I will take the remnant of Judah, that have set their faces to go into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, and they shall all be consumed, and fall in the land of Egypt; they shall even be consumed by the sword and by the famine: they shall die, from the least even unto the greatest, by the sword and by the famine: and they shall be an execration, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach. 13 For I will punish them that dwell in the land of Egypt, as I have punished Jerusalem, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence: 14 So that none of the remnant of Judah, which are gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall escape or remain, that they should return into the land of Judah, to the which they have a desire to return to dwell there: for none shall return but such as shall escape. The people objected because they were burning incense. They were also depending on Pharaoh to save them. Jeremiah told them the end of Pharaoh also. Verses 26 - 30 The End of the Remnant in Egypt 26 Therefore hear ye the word of the Lord, all Judah that dwell in the land of Egypt; Behold, I have sworn by my great name, saith the Lord, that my name shall no more be named in the mouth of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying, The Lord God liveth. 27 Behold, I will watch over them for evil, and not for good: and all the men of Judah that are in the land of Egypt shall be consumed by the sword and by the famine, until there be an end of them. 28 Yet a small number that escape the sword shall return out of the land of Egypt into the land of Judah, and all the remnant of Judah, that are gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall know whose words shall stand, mine, or their's. 29 And this shall be a sign unto you, saith the Lord, that I will punish you in this place, that ye may know that my words shall surely stand against you for evil: 30 Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I will give Pharaohhophra king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies, and into the hand of them that seek his life; as I gave Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, his enemy, and that sought his life. Chapter 45 Assurance to Baruch Trust me people stick with God. It does not matter how the situation looks. He will not forget you. He is the number one attention to detailer. The language is dynamic not static. I suppose after all Baruch had done and all Jeremiah is going through he might have thought God had forgotten him. Not so!! Read below!! Verses 2 - 5 God Remembered Baruch 2 Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel, unto thee, O Baruch: 3 Thou didst say, Woe is me now! for the Lord hath added grief to my sorrow; I fainted in my sighing, and I find no rest. 4 Thus shalt thou say unto him, The Lord saith thus; Behold, that which I have built will I break down, and that which I have planted I will pluck up, even this whole land. 5 And seekest thou great things for thyself? seek them not: for, behold, I will bring evil upon all flesh, saith the Lord: but thy life will I give unto thee for a prey in all places whither thou goest. CONCLUSION Well Mon peuple nothing in life that is worth having is going to come easy. However, in the face of all the challenges one keeps moving forward and continues to look unto Jesus the author and the Finisher. It is not over until He says it is over. We will continue to thank Walmart because even when the Library is closed. I am outside of Walmart pecking away on the computer. We would also like to thank Loblaws and Real Canadian SuperStore. They have nice tables, chairs and microwaves and of course the Toronto and Brampton Libraries all for their wi-fi services. I also thank Via Rail. The problem with GO wi-fi is that the crooks just shut me down when they feel I am doing too much work. They even had Starbucks turn off theirs at night so I cannot access it. I thank you all!! I do not want to pray anymore special prayer for Walmart they might become a superpower. Lord help my Holy Ghost!!
