IT’S TIME TO SPEAK UP
Jesus Christ, the Son of God was never reticent to speak the truth, even in the face of death. When he came to Jerusalem to celebrate the Feast of Dedication (the Bible name for Hanukkah), He walked in Solomon's Porch (on the eastern side of the temple) and people gathered around Him.
Jesus knew the Jews would be remembering more than the rededication of the temple and the lighting of the Menorah again. They remembered the great victory over Antiochus Epiphanes by the Macabees, but also how he lifted himself to be god over them. It was Antiochus himself who added "Epiphanes" to his name, which means "God manifest" which was utter blasphemy to the Jews.
In the midst of this thinking Jesus boldly and publicly declared, "I and my Father are one” (John 10:30). In other words, He confessed that He was God, which of course, He was! This was too much for the Jews who, remembering Antiochus Epiphanes the evil blasphemer, took up stones to stone him (John 10:22-33).
It was no coincidence that Jesus chose this timing to speak these words. Everything about Hanukkah speaks of standing up for truth even in the face of danger.
Are you boldly standing up for truth? Right at this moment we are facing an unprecedented moment in our history. So few are willing to speak out for truth, even when they know and believe the truth. We’ve got to get past just knowing the truth and be willing to speak it out.
Can you believe that the Supreme Court has refused to take the case (filed by Attorney General Ken Paxton of Texas and other state US Attorney Generals) regarding the fraudulent election? The Supreme Court of our land have legalized abortion and homosexuality, and yet are not willing to stand up for an honest election. It is not because they don’t have the evidence. There is more evidence than is needed to expose such a fraudulent election on so many different areas.
If we all don’t begin to speak out loud and make our voices heard, we will no longer have America as we know it. They are fighting tooth and nail against the Constitution of our great nation because they want to bring in the Global Reset and the new Economic World Order. We will be reduced to owning nothing, will live like communism, and gone will be the American Dream.
You don’t believe me? Check out the YouTube, “The Great Betrayal” and also the “World Economic Forum” (if you can still find them as the Big Tech take down all truth) and they tell you plainly in their own words. In fact the World Economic Form begins with “You will own nothing, and you will be happy.”
It's time to speak up! May we never cringe to speak the truth, no matter what the consequences.
