Eyes in the wilderness
Moses’s father-in-law became a guide to Moses and the people in the wilderness.
Numbers 10:29 And Moses said unto Hobab, the son of Raguel the Midianite, Moses’ father in law, We are journeying unto the place of which the Lord said, I will give it you: come thou with us, and we will do thee good: for the Lord hath spoken good concerning Israel.
30 And he said unto him, I will not go; but I will depart to mine own land, and to my kindred.
31 And he said, Leave us not, I pray thee; forasmuch as thou knowest how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and thou mayest be to us instead of eyes.
32 And it shall be, if thou go with us, yea, it shall be, that what goodness the Lord shall do unto us, the same will we do unto thee.

Isaiah Chapter 1
Isaiah 1:1 (KJV*) The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
2 Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the Lord hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.
3 The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master’s crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.
4 Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the Lord, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.
5 Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.
6 From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.
7 Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.
8 And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.
9 Except the Lord of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah.
10 Hear the word of the Lord, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.
11 To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the Lord: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.
12 When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?
13 Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.
14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.
15 And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.
16 Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;
17 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.
18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:
20 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.
21 How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.
22 Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water:
23 Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them.
24 Therefore saith the Lord, the Lord of hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine enemies:
25 And I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin:
26 And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city.
27 Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness.
28 And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the Lord shall be consumed.
29 For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen.
30 For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water.
31 And the strong shall be as tow, and the maker of it as a spark, and they shall both burn together, and none shall quench them.
*Why the King James Version (KJV)? It reads better as a public domain version. It uses the word “Lord” for God. It can be synced to a Strong’s Concordance, where you can look up words in the original Greek and Hebrew to understand more. Some translations are more folksy in their translation, trying to use everyday speech. However, those translations do not have a Strong’s Concordance connection. Or, they are not public domain.

Breaking Through the Shell
Dr. Robert Schuller, Sr., used to say, “If it’s to be, it’s up to me.”
Around the world, people are tired of waiting for their leaders to solve problems. Many leaders offer lies, reneging on promises, and corruption.
The expression, “banging your head against a wall” would fall into the same category as comments about red tape. It simply means that nothing gets done.
A chick, when coming out of a shell, keeps pecking away at the shell and finally breaks through.
Collectively, humanity has been banging its head against the wall of ineptness and corruption of its leaders so long that things are beginning to break through.
Shifts are happening. Basically, if the leaders won’t get it done, or don’t want to solve problems, or actually create problems because they want to remain in power, humanity has been beating against that so long that it is breaking through. Rather than waiting for someone else to solve problems, individuals are rising up and are individually and together doing what they can. They are not waiting.
What’s your talent?

Six Days Shalt Thou Labor
The four day work week and retiring early is in the vogue. But is that really the best pathway for life?
God commands … not suggests … to work six days. You might say it is a like Father, like son thing.
Exodus 20:9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
Exodus 20:11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
If you have figured out how to make a living in such a way that you can retire early from working for your own needs, good for you. Maybe the Lord has need of your talents.
Moses effectively had three careers.
- He started out as prince of Egypt, on the way to the throne. He realized that he was called to help the Hebrews.
- That led to a banishment where he was a shepherd for forty years.
- God called him at the burning bush at the age of eighty. He went back to Pharoah, was instrumental in helping liberate the children of Israel, crossed the Red Sea, received the Ten Commandments, and brought the children of Israel to the brink of the promised land. His third career spanned forty years.
At the age of 120 this was his testimony.
Deuteronomy 34:7 And Moses was an hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated.
In a culture that is obsessed with youth, in some cases, using some diabolical means to obtain that, consider the example of Moses. His life spanned three careers and he was going strong at 120.
On the other hand, scripture gives us an example of a man who quit working as was obsessed with “me, myself, and I.”
Luke 12:16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.
19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
20 But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?
21 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
He retired early and his life ended early. God called back the talent since he would not use it for the purposes of God.
Some of you who have lived long enough have probably seen at least one example of this. I know I have. Someone retires early and a few years later that person is dead.
I get it. You work hard for many years and want a little break. But perpetual days with nothing to do is not good.
Six days shalt thou labor. Surely, your talents can be used somewhere.

Quit You Like Men
I Corinthians 16:13 (KJV) Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.
I Corinthians 16:13 (YLT) Watch ye, stand in the faith; be men, be strong;
“….I firmly believe that any man’s finest hours – his greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear – is that moment when he has worked his heart out in good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle – victorious.” Vince Lombardi
“I’ve never known a man worth his salt who, in the long run, deep down in his heart, didn’t appreciate the grind, the discipline.” Vince Lombardi Source
This is a comment from observation. There are those who are not necessarily religious who “get it,” who understand the need for cultural battle more than the church.
Luke 16:8 And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light.
There are those who are not necessarily religious, but who understand the extreme danger of the satanic globalists. Indeed, they will even discuss the dangers of satan more strongly than the church. They stand against transgenderism and many of the ills of today’s society more strongly than the church.
Elon Musk, in being willing to permit Matt Walsh’s “What is a woman” to be shown on Twitter, has probably done more to break the spell of transgenderism than many sermons that have been preached in churches.
There are other individuals out there, it is not necessary to mention names because there is more than one, but they talk about the takedown of manhood. Testosterone has decreased in men because of diet. Men have been feminized and marginalized.
It is good that these individuals, whether they are religious or not, are taking a stand against the satanic globalists.
But for those in the church who say, so what, why are you saying this, I will explain. This will be a little raw, but it’s got to be said for those who haven’t thought this through.
Your young men are looking for models of manhood to emulate. God didn’t create emasculated men, feminized men, neutered men. Satan and modernists did.
Throughout history, until recently, men could be counted on to defend the family and society. Is that the model that we see today?
Again, there are those who are not necessarily Christian who are saying … don’t abort, take care of your family, your loved ones. They have some things right. However, they may not necessarily believe in biblical marriage. Therefore, they become examples of fornication, even though they may have other things right.
If you want your sons to see a godly, strong manly example, you have to do at least as much as those who are not going to church but who are fighting the cultural battles. If not, your sons may look to some of these individuals as cultural warriors. These individuals are willing to go to battle against an ungodly culture, more than some church members. These individuals are willing to correct their testosterone levels, more than some church members. While they may have some things right, even more than the church in some ways, some of them are into fornication, since they don’t have a biblical structure. Are those the manly examples you want for your sons?
Your sons may go to those who have more testosterone and cultural fight in them, and those people may not necessarily have the fulness of the faith. Your sons need to see manhood in action.
I won’t belabor the point, as I have spoken of it before, but I believe the root cause of whether someone resists cultural rot or not is a person’s eschatalogical belief which will incite him to either action or inaction.
