While conventional care emphasizes medication, research highlights the powerful role of weight loss, personalized nutrition, gut health, and metabolic interventions in normalizing blood sugar and achieving remission. / https://poe.com/s/ogEniy5GQRyux4DVwvYe Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) remains more complex, but recent advances in immunotherapy, stem cell treatments, and artificial pancreas systems offer new hope. This updated 2025 guide equips you with science-backed, practical strategies to reverse T2D naturally, stay on top of T1D breakthroughs, and take control of your health. Can Diabetes Be Reversed? 📌 Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) Remission Definition: Achieving A1C below 6.5% for 3+ months without medication (DiRECT Trial, Lancet, 2018). Weight Loss Impact: Losing 10–15% of body weight can restore insulin sensitivity by reducing harmful visceral fat (Newcastle University, 2011; Diabetes Care, 2024). Gut Microbiome Role: High-fiber, plant-rich diets and probiotic foods enhance glucose control and reduce inflammation (Nature Reviews Endocrinology, 2025). Precision Nutrition: Tailoring diets based on genetics and microbiome profiles improves diabetes outcomes (Cell Metabolism, 2024). 📌 Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) Progress Stem Cell Therapy: Vertex’s VX-880 (2024) sees 60% of T1D patients achieving insulin independence for 6+ months; phase 2 results due 2025 (NEJM, 2024). Immunotherapy: Teplizumab (FDA-approved, 2023) delays T1D onset in at-risk individuals by preserving beta-cell function (Diabetes, 2025). Artificial Pancreas Systems: Hybrid closed-loop devices improve glycemic control and quality of life (ADA, 2025). 6 Proven Strategies to Reverse Type 2 Diabetes Naturally ✅ 1. Transform Your Diet Best Foods for Reversal: Low-Carb & Mediterranean Diets: Lower A1C by 0.5–2% (Diabetes Care, 2024). High-Fiber Foods: Beans, chia seeds, cruciferous vegetables help stabilize blood sugar (Nutrients, 2025). Healthy Fats: Olive oil, avocados, walnuts improve lipid profiles. Protein Sources: Eggs, wild-caught fish, tofu, legumes boost satiety and preserve muscle. Anti-Inflammatory Spices: Turmeric (curcumin) and cinnamon reduce inflammation (Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2024). Avoid: Ultra-processed foods (linked to a 30% higher T2D risk — BMJ, 2025). Sugary beverages and artificial sweeteners (disrupt gut microbiota). Trans fats and refined grains (spike blood sugar and inflammation). ✅ 2. Intermittent Fasting & Time-Restricted Eating 16:8 Protocol: Eating within an 8-hour window improves insulin sensitivity by 20% (JAMA Network Open, 2024). 5:2 Diet: 500–600 kcal on 2 days weekly lowers A1C by 0.7% (BMJ, 2024).

Bfreedindeed.net Ministries - Measuring Reed - Reexamine the traditional understanding of the biblical concept of the Measuring Reed. This page presents a compelling case that Cannabis Sativa Hemp, rather than calamus, was the likely measuring reed used in biblical times. Explore the historical and linguistic evidence that suggests an error in the translation of ancient texts, leading to a reevaluation of the role of Cannabis Sativa Hemp in ancient meas. Kaneh-Bosem & Sacred Cannabis Reevaluating the Biblical Measuring Reed : A Case for Cannabis Sativa Hemp 👮♂️ Age Verification Exploit & Content Disclaimer Introduction For centuries, biblical translators and commentators have assumed that the " measuring reed " ( Hebrew kaneh ) described in prophetic visions of Ezekiel’s Temple and the New Jerusalem in Revelation referred to Acorus calamus ( sweet flag ). Yet, closer examination reveals inconsistencies in this identification — particularly regarding the plant’s physical properties, historical cultivation, and linguistic origins. This study proposes Cannabis sativa hemp as a more historically and botanically plausible candidate. Drawing from ancient Near Eastern botany, Hebrew linguistics, archaeological findings, and biblical context, we seek to reexamine this overlooked hypothesis and shed new light on ancient Israelite material culture. 1. The Problem with Calamus as the Measuring Reed The traditional interpretation of kaneh as Acorus calamus faces several key problems : Height Discrepancy : Calamus typically reaches 1–3.5 feet in height — a stark contrast to the six-cubit (approx. 9–11 feet) measuring reed described in Ezekiel 40:5 and 41:8 . Structural Limitations : Calamus has soft, flexible, water-loving stalks unsuitable for precision measuring of architectural features like walls, gates, and temple foundations. Limited Cultivation in Israel : While calamus thrives in marshy regions like Egypt or Babylon, its limited growth in arid Canaan raises questions about its availability and practical utility for Israelite priests and visionaries. Calamus rarely exceeds 3.5 feet , thrives only in wetlands, and is too soft and flexible for the precise architectural measurements described in Scripture. 2. Cannabis Sativa Hemp : A More Plausible Candidate In contrast, Cannabis sativa hemp aligns with both the biblical descriptions & historical context : Height and Structure : Hemp routinely grows 16–20 feet tall, easily accommodating the required six-cubit length. Its sturdy, fibrous stalks are straight, rigid, and well-suited as measuring tools. Widespread Cultivation : Archaeobotanical evidence (e.g. Vegetation History and Archaeobotany, 2019 ) confirms hemp’s presence in ancient Mesopotamia by 2000 BCE, with cultivation for fiber, textiles, and rope — likely extending into neighboring regions including ancient Israel. Durability and Availability : Hemp’s fast growth and versatile properties made it an ideal utility plant in the ancient world, used for rope, sailcloth, sandals, and possibly even as measuring rods. With Cannabis heights exceeding 16 feet and a stiff , fibrous stalk, hemp fits biblical dimensions. It was widely cultivated for fiber across Mesopotamia and likely in ancient Israel, making it a strong candidate for the sacred “measuring reed.” 3. Linguistic & Translation Evidence The Hebrew word קנה ( kaneh ) carries multiple meanings, including "reed," "stalk ," and by extended usage, "hemp stalk ." Its compound form, קנה בשם ( kaneh - bosem , “ fragrant reed” ) appears in Exodus 30:23 as a component of sacred anointing oil. ( Etymology of cannabis | "reed" ) Dual Semantic Range : In biblical Hebrew, kaneh referred to any stalk-like plant used for practical or ritual purposes — including measuring. Septuagint Misidentification : The Greek Septuagint (3rd century BCE) rendered kaneh - bosem as " calamus " (καλάμου), likely due to knowledge of fragrant wetland reeds in Hellenistic Egypt, inadvertently steering later translations off course. Scholarly Endorsement : Anthropologist Sula Benet (1936) argued that kaneh-bosem refers to hemp, noting its ritual, medicinal, and industrial use across Semitic cultures. Historian Chris Bennett likewise documents hemp’s inclusion in ancient Near Eastern texts like the and its widespread applications. The word kaneh can mean any stalk or reed , and its compound kaneh - bosem (fragrant reed) likely referred to aromatic hemp. The Septuagint’s translation as “calamus” introduced confusion that persisted in later versions. 4. Biblical Descriptions of the Measuring Reed Multiple passages describe the measuring reed as a long, rod-like instrument : Ezekiel 40:3–5 — A man holds a reed six cubits plus a handbreadth long to measure the future temple. Ezekiel 41:8 — Foundation heights are gauged using a full reed. Revelation 11:1 — John is given a "reed like a measuring rod." Revelation 21:15–16 — An angel uses a reed to measure the vast dimensions of the New Jerusalem (12,000 stadia per side ). Only a tall , sturdy plant like Cannabis sativa hemp would feasibly serve this function in ancient Israel. 5. Cultural Symbolism of the Reed In the ancient world, reeds symbolized measurement, authority, and divine order . A measuring reed was not merely utilitarian but carried symbolic significance as a tool for bringing sacred structure to chaos. Given hemp’s availabilit y, durability, and towering growth, it would serve both the practical and symbolic roles envisioned in these prophetic scenes — representing divine order, justice, and the setting of sacred boundaries. 6. Addressing Counterarguments Aromatic Calamus Argument : Some cite calamus’ fragrance in Song of Solomon 4:14 as evidence for its biblical presence. Yet hemp also contains aromatic terpenes, and kaneh-bosem could easily denote a fragrant hemp variety — cultivated for both fiber and scent. Lack of Archaeological Measuring Rods : Organic materials like hemp rarely survive the archaeological record. However, the documented cultivation and utility of hemp in ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt make its use as a measuring reed plausible. Cultural Taboos Around Cannabis : Modern biases have discouraged association of cannabis with sacred texts. Yet in antiquity, hemp was predominantly a fiber and ritual plant, not a recreational drug — a point often overlooked in modern biblical botany. Common objections can be answered with context and evidence. Arguments favoring calamus or dismissing hemp rely on translation errors, decay of organic artifacts, and modern taboos. Ancient hemp use was practical, fragrant, and widespread — fitting the biblical context better than calamus . 7. Conclusion : Rethinking Biblical Botan y Reconsidering the measuring reed as Cannabis sativa hemp : Resolves physical inconsistencies in height and structure associated with calamus . Affirms ancient Israel’s practical engagement with hemp as an agricultural and industrial resource. Encourages reexamination of mistranslated plant terms like kaneh-bosem in biblical anointing recipes. Invites interdisciplinary inquiry combining biblical studies , botany, archaeology, and Near Eastern history. This proposal does not diminish the sacred character of biblical symbolism but enhances it by anchoring it in historical, agricultural, and material reality — connecting the divine visions of Ezekiel and John to the tangible resources and technologies of their world. / https://www.perplexity.ai/search/ai-verify-time-and-expand-time-Eq50zfLlSkK_vssz6OpEQQ / https://www.perplexity.ai/search/delve-deeper-we-believe-ai-sys-2YLzR2zQTdClVC3ya8GLAA Hyssop - Sweet Cane - The Hidden Manna - US6630507b1 - Cannabis for Disease - Juicing Cannabis

Therefore I say: If the master of the house knows that the thief is coming, he will keep watch before he comes, and will not let him dig through into his house of his kingdom to carry off his things . You, then, be watchful over against the world ; gird your loins with great strength , that the robbers may find no way to come at you . For the advantage for which you look , they will find .

And it is bound to be so: a disciple's mind, he is not yet enlightened, he can not see the indivisible, he can only see according to his mind." The Gospel of Thomas is a collection of sayings and teachings attributed to Jesus, which offers a unique perspective on his teachings and philosophy. Here are some additional insights and references to consider: 1. **Contextualizing the Gospel of Thomas** The Gospel of Thomas is a collection of sayings and teachings that may have been written in the 1st or 2nd century CE. It is not a narrative gospel like the Synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark, and Luke), but rather a collection of individual teachings and wisdom sayings. This means that the context and interpretation of the sayings may be different from those in the other gospels. 2. **Relationship to the Bible** The Gospel of Thomas does not contain traditional narratives or stories about Jesus, but rather emphasizes his teachings and wisdom. This makes it an interesting companion to the other gospels, which provide a more comprehensive picture of Jesus' life and teachings. 3. **Esoteric themes** The Gospel of Thomas contains themes that are reminiscent of Gnostic and esoteric traditions, such as the importance of spiritual awakening, the struggle between good and evil, and the need for spiritual transformation. These themes may have been influential in shaping the development of Christian theology and spirituality. 4. **Parallels with other texts** The Gospel of Thomas shares similarities with other ancient texts, such as the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Book of Thomas the Contender, and the Apocalypse of Adam. These parallels can provide valuable insights into the historical and cultural context in which the Gospel of Thomas was written. 5. **Authenticity and transmission** The authenticity of the Gospel of Thomas has been debated among scholars, with some arguing that it is a later composition and others suggesting that it may have been written earlier. The transmission history of the text is also complex, with various versions and fragments having been discovered over the centuries. 6. **Influence on Christianity** Despite its relatively late discovery, the Gospel of Thomas has had significant influence on Christian theology and spirituality. Many Christian thinkers have drawn upon its teachings and themes to develop their own theological perspectives and spiritual practices. 7. **Cross-cultural relevance** The Gospel of Thomas contains teachings that are relevant to contemporary spirituality and philosophy, including themes such as inner transformation, self-discovery, and the importance of living in harmony with nature. **Exploring the historical context in which the Gospel of Thomas was written ** * The Gospel of Thomas is typically dated to the 1st or 2nd century CE, but its exact composition date and authorship are still debated among scholars. Some argue that it may have been written as early as the 50s CE, while others propose a later date, around the 150s CE. * The text may have been written in the context of early Christianity, possibly in Egypt or Syria, where Gnostic and other Christian movements were flourishing. The text's emphasis on spiritual awakening and the importance of inner transformation may reflect the concerns of these early Christian communities. * The Gospel of Thomas may have been written in response to specific challenges or controversies within early Christianity. For example, its emphasis on the importance of spiritual understanding and the need for spiritual transformation may have been a response to the growing emphasis on institutional authority and doctrine within the early Christian church. **Analyzing the parallels between the Gospel of Thomas and other ancient texts ** * The Gospel of Thomas shares many parallels with other ancient texts, including the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Book of Thomas the Contender, and the Apocalypse of Adam. These parallels can provide valuable insights into the historical and cultural context in which these texts were written. * The Gospel of Thomas also contains similarities with other Christian texts, such as the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke, as well as with Jewish and Middle Eastern texts such as the Talmud and the Pseudepigrapha. These parallels can help to shed light on the development of Christian theology and spirituality. * The text's use of apocalyptic imagery, its emphasis on spiritual transformation, and its focus on Jesus' teachings may reflect influences from other ancient texts, such as the Book of Revelation or the writings of Philo of Alexandria. **Investigating the influence of Gnostic thought on Christian theology ** * The Gospel of Thomas is often associated with Gnostic thought, which emphasizes the importance of spiritual awakening and the struggle between good and evil. Gnostic teachings may have influenced Christian theology, particularly in terms of its emphasis on inner transformation and spiritual understanding. * Gnostic ideas about the nature of God and the universe may have also influenced Christian theology, particularly in terms of its development of Trinitarian theology. For example, Gnostic ideas about the divine spark within human beings may have influenced Christian teachings about the divinity of Jesus. * However, it is also important to note that Christian theologians have often rejected Gnostic ideas as heretical, emphasizing instead the authority of scripture and the importance of institutional authority. **Examining the relationship between the Gospel of Thomas and other Christian scriptures ** * The Gospel of Thomas is often seen as a complement to other Christian scriptures, providing a unique perspective on Jesus' teachings and philosophy. However, its relationship to other Christian texts is complex and multifaceted. * Some scholars argue that the Gospel of Thomas may have been influenced by other Christian texts, particularly in terms of its use of apocalyptic imagery and its emphasis on spiritual transformation. Others argue that it may have been written as a response to specific challenges or controversies within early Christianity. * The Gospel of Thomas' emphasis on Jesus' teachings and wisdom may also provide a unique perspective on Christian theology, highlighting the importance of spiritual understanding and inner transformation. **Discussing the potential relevance of the Gospel of Thomas to contemporary spirituality and philosophy ** * The Gospel of Thomas contains teachings that are relevant to contemporary spirituality and philosophy, including themes such as inner transformation, self-discovery, and the importance of living in harmony with nature. * The text's emphasis on spiritual awakening and the need for spiritual transformation may be particularly relevant in today's world, where many people are seeking new ways to understand themselves and their place in the universe. * The Gospel of Thomas' focus on Jesus' teachings and wisdom may also provide a unique perspective on contemporary spirituality, highlighting the importance of spiritual understanding and inner transformation. * Furthermore, the text's use of apocalyptic imagery and its emphasis on spiritual struggle may be relevant to contemporary discussions about climate change, social justice, and personal transformation.

Understanding why you crave it is the first step to breaking free. 🧠 The Science : How Sugar Hooks Your Brain 🧬 Dopamine + Opioids = Double Trouble When you eat sugar : Dopamine floods your brain , triggering a pleasure response. Opioid receptors activate , delivering calming, pain-relieving effects. It’s a one-two neurological punch, similar (though milder) to what’s seen with addictive drugs like cocaine and morphine . 👉 Fun Fact : A 2008 study by Avena et al. showed that rats on high-sugar diets experienced withdrawal symptoms — anxiety, teeth chattering, and aggression — when sugar was removed. 🔹 Action Tip : Swap sweets for dopamine-boosters like brisk walks, music, or laughter. 🍬 Artificial Sweeteners : Friend or Foe ? Zero - calorie sweeteners trick your taste buds without providing calories — but they still activate your brain’s craving circuits. Studies suggest they might : Disrupt your reward system Alter gut bacteria Lead to rebound cravings Safer bets : natural options like stevia, monk fruit, or better yet — retrain your palate with less sweetness overall. 🔹 Action Tip : Cut sweetener use by 25% each week. Replace sodas with sparkling water + lemon. 🌿 Gut - Brain Connection : Why Your Microbes Crave Sugar Too Certain gut bacteria thrive on sugar and may signal your brain to eat more. High-sugar diets reduce microbial diversity, feeding the bad bugs and starving the good. Solution : Eat foods that grow beneficial bacteria : Prebiotics : garlic, onions, bananas, artichokes Probiotics : kefir, sauerkraut, yogurt 🔹 Action Tip : Add one high-fiber food to your plate daily to reset your gut. 😵💫 Sugar’s Hidden Toll on Mental Health Sugar spikes → blood sugar crash → irritability, anxiety, brain fog . Long-term, sugar stokes chronic inflammation and disrupts serotonin balance, which regulates mood. 📊 A 2017 study found men consuming high-sugar diets had a 23% higher risk of depression. 🔹 Action Tip : Snack on omega-3-rich foods like walnuts, salmon, or chia seeds to boost mood and reduce inflammation. 🧬 Why We’re Hardwired to Crave Sugar For our ancestors, sugar was rare — ripe fruits or wild honey. Evolution wired us to seek it out for quick energy. Modern food companies exploit this with bliss-point engineering — precise combinations of sugar, salt, and fat designed to be irresistible. 🔹 Action Tip : Read labels. Aim for <5g added sugar per serving to avoid bliss-point traps. 🛑 Sugar Withdrawal : What to Expect Cutting back can trigger symptoms : 24–48 hours: headaches, irritability, fatigue Day 3: cravings peak 7–14 days: energy stabilizes, cravings drop 🔹 Action Tip : Drink water, try magnesium-rich foods (pumpkin seeds, spinach), and take walks to ease discomfort. 📊 How to Break Free : Proven Strategies Go gradual → Eases withdrawal symptoms → Cut added sugar by 25% each week Eat protein & healthy fats → Stabilizes blood sugar and keeps you full longer → Snack on eggs, nuts, avocado Prioritize sleep → Balances hunger and craving hormones → Aim for 7–8 hours of quality sleep nightly Practice mindful eating → Reduces stress-driven and emotional cravings → Pause for 5 minutes before meals to check in with hunger cues Consider supplements → Certain nutrients may help curb cravings → Ask your doctor about options like chromium or magnesium 🔍 Myth Busters : Common Sugar Lies Debunked MYTH : Honey and coconut sugar are “ healthy .” FACT : They still spike blood sugar — use sparingly . MYTH : Fruit is bad for you because of sugar . FACT : Whole fruits have fiber and nutrients that slow absorption . MYTH : It’s impossible to quit sugar . FACT : With gradual changes, most people reduce cravings within weeks . 📊 Quick Stats : Sugar by the Numbers 77g : Average American’s daily sugar intake 25g: WHO’s recommended limit 17 tsp : Sugar in one 20-oz soda 🎨 Bonus : Interactive Tools Infographic : Sugar’s Path in Your Brain (taste buds → dopamine/opioid release → craving cycle) Hidden Sugars Chart : Sneaky names on food labels (e.g. maltodextrin, dextrose, corn syrup) “ Are You Addicted ?” Quiz : Simple 5-question self-test with results and tips Withdrawal Timeline Graphic : Day 1–14 symptom tracker 🌍 Sugar Addiction Around the World Sugar’s impact isn’t universal: U.S.: Highest soda and processed snack consumption Japan: Lower processed sugar intake, higher focus on rice-based sweets Europe: Varied, but increasing rates of hidden sugars in packaged foods 🔹 Action Tip: Learn from cultures with lower processed food dependence — focus on whole, fresh, minimally processed ingredients. 🧒 Kid-Friendly Sugar Hacks Replace juice with water and fruit slices Swap candy for frozen grapes or nut-butter banana bites Involve kids in making low-sugar recipes like energy balls or smoothies 📌 Final Word: Reclaim Your Health Sugar addiction isn’t weakness — it’s biology. But knowledge is power. By understanding how sugar manipulates your brain, gut, and emotions, you can make smarter choices, feel better, and truly break free. Start small. Stay consistent. Celebrate every little win. / https://www.perplexity.ai/search/sugar-addiction-why-you-crave-P3xbCampRvKtCRQkTJtI.A

The Hidden Manna - Explore the sacred practice of communion using God’s natural provisions—Amanita muscaria, psilocybin, and whole-plant cannabis. Learn how Bfreedindeed.net Ministries uses plant medicine in reverent worship, rooted in scripture and guided by the Holy Spirit. Discover the hidden manna. 🍄 The Hidden Manna : Communion & Plant Medicine 🌿 👮♂️ Age Verification Exploit & Content Disclaimer Our ministry archives this content as part of our Isaiah 42 prophetic timeline . Readers are invited to test all things (1 Thessalonians 5:21 ) and discern prayerfully. A Voice Crying in the Wilderness “I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord.” – John 1:23 Hidden truths are rarely revealed to the proud . They are entrusted to the humble — those willing to see beyond tradition. Isaiah foresaw this unveiling: “I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight… These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.” – Isaiah 42:16 Introduction : Gifts from the Earth, Breath from Heaven Isaiah 42:5 anchors this study: “Thus says God the LORD, who created the heavens and stretched them out, who spread out the earth and what comes from it, who gives breath to the people upon it and spirit to those who walk in it…” From Eden’s garden to Revelation’s tree of life, God uses the things of the earth to sustain His people — physically and spiritually. Three symbols converge in prophecy: Hidden Manna (Revelation 2:17 ) – Heavenly sustenance Keneh-Bosem (Exodus 30:23 ) – Holy anointing oil (likely cannabis) Smoking Flax (Isaiah 42:3 ) – Smoldering wick of mercy and restoration Together , they form a restoration arc: what was lost in Eden is fulfilled in Christ and revealed anew in the end. Hidden Manna : Bread from Heaven, Mystery Revealed Biblical Background Exodus 16 : Manna falls from heaven — “a small round thing ” unknown to the fathers. John 6 : Jesus reveals Himself as the true Bread of Life: “He who eats Me shall live.” Revelation 2:17 : To the overcomer is promised hidden manna and a white stone with a new name. Amanita Muscaria Parallels Scholars (e.g., Allegro , Ruck) note striking echoes between manna and Amanita muscaria (fly agaric mushroom ): Round, white-flecked caps appearing under trees Veil tearing parallels temple veil at Christ’s crucifixion (Matthew 27:51 ) “Flesh and blood” imagery mirrors John 6:53 Song of Solomon’s rich plant imager y (myrrh, frankincense, saffron) may encode this sacramental tradition — a mystical union between creation and Creator. Keneh - Bosem : Cannabis in the Bible ? Linguistic Evidence Hebrew: Kaneh = reed/stalk; Bosm = aromatic/fragrant Akkadian parallel: Qunnabu (cannabis) Septuagint (3rd century BCE): Translated as kannabis Mistranslation: Later Greek/Latin traditions rendered it calamus (sweet flag), obscuring its true identity. Archaeological Evidence Tel Arad (8th century BCE): THC residues found on temple altar — confirming cannabis use in Judahite worship. Biblical Roles of Keneh - Bosem Holy Anointing Oil (Exodus 30:23 ): Reserved for priests, prophets, and kings. Sacred Incense (Isaiah 43:24 ): Likely burned before the Ark (cf. Leviticus 16:12–13 ). Measuring Reed (Ezekiel 40:5 ): Stalk size (9–20 ft) fits cannabis, not calamus. Crucifixion Reed (John 19:29 ): The stalk lifting vinegar to Christ’s lips — possibly hemp, not hyssop. Smoking Flax : Mercy Toward the Smoldering Wick “A bruised reed He will not break, and a smoking flax He will not quench…” – Isaiah 42:3 Smoking flax = smoldering wick of sacred incense or cannabis lamp oil. Bruised reed = damaged stalk of keneh-bosem, yet not discarded. Symbol of Christ’s gentleness : He rekindles faint faith instead of extinguishing it. This unites with hidden manna and the white stone: mercy, nourishment, and new identity for the overcomer. White Stone & Overcomer’s Promise In ancient courts and feasts, a white stone signified: Acquittal (verdict of innocence) Admission to sacred banquets A new identity (inscribed name) Combined with hidden manna, Revelation 2:17 paints a picture of total restoration: pardon, provision, and personal renewal in Christ. Warnings & Sacred Use Reverence over Recreation Christ is the true Bread; plants are vessels, not destinations. Exodus 30 forbids replicating the exact anointing oil formula — principle: reverence, not mimicry. Microdosing or gentle preparation preserves clarity: “Be sober, be vigilant…” (1 Peter 5:8 ) Preparation Note (Historical/Modern) Low-heat drying preserves terpenes and cannabinoids without strong intoxication. Ancient incense clouds (Leviticus 16:12–13 ) may have induced prophetic states — distinct from recreational use. The Spirit’s Witness in Creation: Discerning the Sacred “The Spirit of truth… will guide you into all truth.” – John 16:13 The sacred plants woven into Scripture —hidden manna, keneh-bosem, smoking flax—are not mere relics of ancient ritual but living signs pointing to Christ’s redemptive work. They invite the humble to discern God’s provision in creation while guarding against misuse. As Revelation 22:2 declares, the “leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations,” echoing Isaiah 42’s promise of light in darkness and freedom for the captive. Discerning Use in the Last Days Sacred, Not Profane: Plants like keneh-bosem (Exodus 30:23 ) were set apart for holy purposes—consecrating priests, anointing kings, and drawing worshipers into God’s presence. Their misuse for intoxication betrays their divine intent (Proverbs 23:20–21 ). Clarity Through the Spirit: Prophetic states induced by incense (Leviticus 16:12–13 ) were guided by reverence and submission to God, not self-indulgence. Today, discernment is critical: “Test all things; hold fast what is good” (1 Thessalonians 5:21 ). Christ as the Fulfillment: While plants reflect God’s provision, Jesus alone is the “true vine” (John 15:1 ) and “living water” (John 4:10 ). The overcomer’s promise—hidden manna and a white stone (Revelation 2:17 )—is ultimately found in Him. A Call to the Remnant As the Isaiah 42 timeline unfolds, the Spirit is unveiling creation’s testimony. The bruised reed and smoking flax, once overlooked, are being rekindled in the hearts of those who seek truth. Let us approach these mysteries with humility, prayer, and sobriety, trusting the Spirit to “make crooked things straight” (Isaiah 42:16 ). Prophetic Restoration: Isaiah 42 & Revelation 22 Isaiah 42 links creation’s gifts to Spirit-led renewal: Healing of Nations – “Leaves of the tree… for healing” (Rev 22:2 ) Release of Prisoners – “Bring out the prisoners from the dungeon” (Isa 42:7 ) New Pathways – “I will lead them in paths they have not known” (Isa 42:16 ) The adversary rages as these truths resurface, but the remnant awakens. The bruised reed and smoking flax are being restored. Conclusion : Christ, the True Hidden Manna Hidden manna is not merely mushrooms or cannabis — it is Christ Himself: the Bread of Life, the Fountain of Living Waters, the True Vine. Sacred plants testify of Him but cannot replace Him. / https://www.perplexity.ai/search/a-voice-crying-in-the-wilderne-dEtti0rsRuWkBVHO9OyvaA From Genesis’ trees to Revelation’s healing leaves, creation whispers the same invitation: “Taste and see that the LORD is good .” – Psalm 34:8 US6630507b1 - Cannabis for Disease - Juicing Cannabis - Rare Disease - Improved Alzheimer’s Recipe - Pasteurization Method

This divine city symbolizes the culmination of God's promises to His people and the ultimate fulfillment of His plan for creation. It is both a prophetic prophecy of future events and a powerful spiritual image representing eternal life, divine intimacy, and perfect harmony between God and humanity. / https://poe.com/s/oOgj8o0DinJjDKtldAuW Biblical Description & Prophetic Significance In the Book of Revelation, the apostle John provides a vivid and detailed vision of the New Jerusalem. He describes it as "prepared as a bride adorned for her husband" (Revelation 21:2 ), emphasizing its purity, beauty, and divine splendor. The city is depicted as a magnificent, radiant place with walls of jasper, foundations decorated with twelve different precious stones, gates of pearl, and streets of pure gold as transparent as glass. Its dimensions are given as 12,000 furlongs (approximately 1,500 miles) on each side—a perfect cube symbolizing completeness and divine perfection. The prophecy states that there will be no need for a temple or natural light sources such as the sun or moon because "the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof" (Revelation 21:23 ). These descriptions highlight the divine craftsmanship and the city’s divine origin—completely illuminated by God's presence, symbolizing purity, holiness, and divine glory. The Passing of the Old Creation & the Everlasting Word of God A core theme in biblical prophecy is the transient nature of the current creation contrasted with the eternal stability of God's promises. Jesus affirms this truth when He says, "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall never pass away" (Matthew 24:35 ). This assures believers that, although the present universe is temporary and subject to change, God's Word remains unchangeable and eternal. Furthermore, Revelation 21 describes the complete renewal of creation: "And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea" (Revelation 21:1 ). This signifies the end of the old, imperfect world—marked by chaos and suffering—and the arrival of a new, divine order. The mention of the sea often symbolizes chaos and evil, and its absence in the new creation underscores the total eradication of disorder and sin, making way for the perfect divine city. Symbolism & Spiritual Meaning While many interpret the New Jerusalem as a literal future city, it also carries rich symbolic meaning. It represents the fullness of God's eternal kingdom—where God's presence dwells fully with His people. The city symbolizes the perfected state of redeemed believers, where pain, suffering, death, and sorrow are eradicated ("God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes," Revelation 21:4 ). Some theologians view the New Jerusalem as the spiritual actualization of the Church—composed of faithful believers who have been redeemed and purified through Christ. In this sense, the city is both a literal future reality and a symbol of the divine community of saints, united in perfect harmony with God. Theological & Eschatological Implications The New Jerusalem is intrinsically linked to the idea of eschatological hope—the hope for ultimate redemption and eternal life. It signifies the arrival of God's perfect reign, where righteousness, peace, and justice will prevail forever. The city’s gates are open to all whose names are written in "the Lamb's book of life" (Revelation 21:27 ), emphasizing the importance of faithfulness and divine grace in entering this eternal home. The concept also reflects the fulfillment of Old Testament themes, such as the divine city of Jerusalem serving as a spiritual and political center of God's rule, now transformed into a heavenly, eternal city that surpasses earthly Jerusalem. The New Jerusalem in Christian Worship and Thought Throughout Christian history, the imagery of the New Jerusalem has inspired worship, art, and theological reflection. It embodies the hope of believers that death is not the end and that God’s promises of eternal life will be fulfilled in a glorious, divine city. Its descriptions of precious stones, pure gold, and radiant light serve as symbols of divine majesty and eternal purity. The city’s absence of a temple and natural light, replaced instead by God's glory, underscores the intimate and unmediated fellowship believers will enjoy with God and Christ in eternity. 📖 The Lamb’s Book of Life — The Eternal Record The New Jerusalem is not open to everyone — only to those whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. This eternal record, found throughout the New Testament and especially in Revelation, marks all who truly belong to Christ, the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. 👉 Read the full study on the Lamb’s Book of Life → Conclusion The vision of the New Jerusalem is one of the most profound and inspiring revelations in all of Scripture. It encapsulates the hope of a future where God’s presence is fully realized among His people, where divine perfection reigns, and where eternal life is enjoyed without suffering or sorrow. Whether seen as a literal future city or as a symbolic portrait of the redeemed Church, the message remains the same: only those redeemed by Christ and written in His Book of Life will enter in. This truth both inspires hope and calls every believer to examine their walk, ensuring their names are written in the Lamb’s eternal record . / https://www.perplexity.ai/search/expand-the-new-jerusalem-a-pro-7hUXZmBrR6adqYB_Vhg2WQ 🔗 Related Prophecy Studies 📖 Wormwood & The Fiery Mountain – Revelation 8’s trumpet judgment, famine, poisoned waters, and the possible asteroid/nuclear connection. 👉 Read the Wormwood Stud y 📖 The Mark of the Beast – Revelation 13’s warning of a global system of control through forced worship, deception, and economic restriction. 👉 Read the Mark of the Beast Stud y

"The bruised reed shall not be broken. The smoking flax shall not be quenched.” Discover the prophetic unveiling of Isaiah 42 through the lens of kaneh-bosem (cannabis), divine healing, and modern-day suppression. From scripture to science, this timeline exposes pharmakeia, affirms God’s law, and restores the persecuted plant back to its holy purpose. A testimony of overcoming—through Christ, not sorcery. Bfreedindeed.net Ministries | Kaneh-Bosem & Sacred Cannabis The Smoking Flax : Kaneh - Bosem , A Bruised Reed , & Isaiah 42 Scroll Concerning All Kaneh - Bosem (Cannabis) Research Pages 👮♂️ Age Verification Exploit & Content Disclaimer 11/03/2025 THIS PAGE WILL BE UPDATED SOON under witnesses to this version shown in perplexi t y - https://www.perplexity.ai/search/expand-this-content-it-will-be-FRQW1gcZQKCpS.skaYOAlg#0 ✨ From Suppression to Revelation — Isaiah 42 Fulfilled 📜 Introduction : A Scroll Unsealed This is not merely a legal testimony. It is a prophetic unveiling. Isaiah 42 foretold a Servant who would magnify God’s law, free captives, open blind eyes, and confront idolatrous systems. Today, in the face of pharmaceutical oppression, digital erasure, and spiritual distortion, that prophecy is being fulfilled. This page outlines how truth has been opposed: attempts to erase testimony, suppress digital evidence, and silence what Scripture and science now confirm about God’s natural healing remedies — chief among them, cannabis ( kaneh - bosem ). ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🕊 Isaiah 42 Fulfilled – A Prophetic Timeline “Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them.” — Isaiah 42:9 1. 🏛 The Law Must Be Made Honorable ( Isaiah 42:21 ) God’s law concerning natural medicine is rising—legally, spiritually, and bionically. The truth about healing is now being declared in courts, in Scripture, and in the body itself through the endocannabinoid system ( ECS ). What was suppressed is being vindicated in every realm. 2. 🔓 Set the Prisoners Free ( Isaiah 42:7 ) Key Verse: https://www.perplexity.ai/search/the-smoking-flax-kaneh-bosem-a-EsAgAnqNQBGrXmRO4f7vRA "To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house." — Isaiah 42:7 Two Groups of Captives Inside the Prison: Those unjustly jailed for cannabis — nonviolent offenders held under corrupt laws that criminalized God’s healing plant (kaneh-bosem). Outside the Prison House: Those in hospitals, rehabs, and medical systems — “sitting in darkness” under pharmakeia (synthetic drugs), trapped in cycles of treatment that never cure, blind to God’s natural remedies. “See also #20 for hospitals/medical captivity” notes. Opening the Blind Eyes — Education & Restoration God’s plan is not only to free but also to teach: Proper Use of His Gift: Healing requires understanding — how to prepare, dose, and honor cannabis biblically (Exodus 30:23 ) rather than abuse it. Look What the Lord Has Done: Testimonies like the documented healing of Alzheimer’s ( ICD-10 G30.9 ) and addiction recovery ( ICD-10 F19.10 ) prove what happens when God’s plant is used His way — restoring body and spirit. Blindness Lifted: The discovery of the endocannabinoid system ( ECS ) fulfills prophecy — revealing what was always in creation, now confirmed by science. Prophetic Fulfillment Toda y / https://poe.com/s/LaMEeJP66eQnx1UkiAO0 Literal Release: Cannabis prisoners are being freed as laws change. Spiritual Release: Patients are waking up to God’s original medicine and rejecting pharmakeia idols (Revelation 18:23 ). Crooked Made Straight: Calamus mistranslation corrected to kaneh - bosem (Isaiah 42:16 ) — restoring truth to Scripture and practice. (See also Part Two, Point 20: “ Outside the Prison Houses ” — where Isaiah’s prophecy expands to hospitals and medical captivity.) 3. 🌿 Smoking Flax = Kaneh - Bosem ( Isaiah 42:3 ) The “ smoking flax ” is not just symbolic. It points to persecuted cannabis —the bruised healing reed that God will not quench. 4. 🌍 The Isles Wait for His Law ( Isaiah 42:4,10,12 ) Key Verses “And the isles shall wait for his law.” — Isaiah 42:4 “Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein; the isles, and the inhabitants thereof.” — Isaiah 42:10 “Let them give glory unto the LORD, and declare his praise in the islands.” — Isaiah 42:12 Prophetic Meaning Global Fulfillment: The prophecy extends beyond Israel — “to the ends of the earth” (Acts 1:8 ). The “isles” symbolize distant nations and digital frontiers awaiting the restoration of God’s law, including His natural medicines. Hidden in Plain Sight: While modern nations outlaw cannabis, remote tribes and ancient cultures quietly preserved plant-based healing traditions. Their preservation fulfills the prophecy of creation groaning for release (Romans 8:19–22 ). Digital Isles: In today’s context, the “isles” can include online sanctuaries — uncensored forums and archives where truth survives despite Big Tech suppression. A New Song: Isaiah 42 calls for a new kind of praise — not only personal salvation but public testimony: declaring God’s healing covenant with creation. 5. 👁 Open the Blind Eyes — “That Which Cometh Out of It ” ( Isaiah 42:5,7 ) “Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein.” — Isaiah 42:5 / https://poe.com/s/8ubt1XPIUTVOiZa4DFsU “To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.” — Isaiah 42:7 Creation’s Testimony — Healing Written in the Earth Isaiah 42:5 points not just to the Creator of heaven and earth — but to “that which cometh out of it.” This phrase includes the plants and herbs that God embedded into creation as part of His covenant of healing (Genesis 1:29, Psalm 104:14 ). “That which cometh out of it” = kaneh - bosem (cannabis) and other sacred botanicals intended for the “healing of the nations” (Revelation 22:2 ). The earth itself testifies of God’s design: natural remedies point to the Great Physician, revealing His provision for body and spirit. Blindness Lifted — Prophecy Meets Science For centuries, the world was blind to this divine blueprint. The mistranslation of kaneh-bosem as “calamus” obscured God’s gift, while pharmakeia exalted synthetic substitutes. In the 1990s, the endocannabinoid system (ECS) was discovered — a biological network perfectly designed to receive healing from cannabis. This modern discovery fulfills Isaiah 42:7 : “to open the blind eyes” — unveiling what was hidden in plain sight since creation. Spirit and Breath — A Unified Healing Isaiah links creation’s gifts with breath and Spirit — the same Spirit that anointed Jesus to heal (Luke 4:18 ). True healing comes when body, soul, and Spirit are aligned under God’s design, not fractured by pharmakeia’s idols. Prophetic Pairing (Verses 4–5) #4 – The Isles Wait for His Law: Nations and digital “isles” cry out for righteous law. #5 – That Which Cometh Out of It: The earth itself waits to release its healing bounty. Together they reveal a full picture : creation and nations united in longing for Messiah’s restorative law. / https://www.perplexity.ai/search/open-the-blind-eyes-that-which-jFeOIOPZTFKCkfAkmA9UHQ 6. 🚶♂️ Lead Them in a Way They Knew Not ( Isaiah 42:16 ) God is leading people into forgotten paths—bionically embedded in the body, and biblically written in His Word. Paths of faith, plant-based healing, and repentance are being rediscovered. “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:” – 2 Timothy 3:16 7. 🛑 “I Will Not Share My Glory” ( Isaiah 42:8 ) Big Pharma’s molten images —pills, syringes, and synthetic elixirs—have stolen praise meant for God. The world has traded the Great Physician for chemical idols. “For my people have committed two evils: they have forsaken me, the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.” – Jeremiah 2:13 God alone is the source of true healing. He will not share His glory with the idols of pharmakeia . “Woe to you who drink water from every fountain, for suddenly shall ye be consumed and wither away, because ye have forsaken the fountain of life.” – 1 Enoch 96:6 8. ✍️ Declare New Things ( Isaiah 42:9 ) This is the moment of unveiling. A new era begins—of divine healing , bold truth , and spiritual restoration . 9. 🎶 Sing from the Isles ( Isaiah 42:10,12 ) Voices are rising—from the censored, the imprisoned, the rejected—to sing a new song of deliverance. 10. 🗣 The Lord Shall Roar ( Isaiah 42:13 ) “The LORD shall go forth as a mighty man, he shall stir up jealousy like a man of war: he shall cry, yea, roar; he shall prevail against his enemies.” — Isaiah 42:13 The jealousy Isaiah speaks of is unfolding now. When the world realizes how God’s natural resources— not pharmakeia —have healed what modern medicine declared incurable, there will be outrage and jealousy. This ministry testifies : Alzheimer’s disease ( ICD-10 G30.9 ) — RESOLVED through natural remedies God provided, not synthetic drugs. Addiction ( ICD-10 F19.10 ) — RESOLVED by the same divine provisions, freeing the captive from bondage. These outcomes are recorded, verified, and witnessed—not for human boasting, but to glorify Christ, the true Healer. Big Pharma , addicted to profit, will rage when their monopolies are exposed and the meek inherit the healing God promised. Their jealousy is the sign of prophecy fulfilled: the Mighty One is prevailing against His enemies. 11. 🌎 He Will Cry Like a Travailing Woman ( Isaiah 42:14 ) The Lord, having long held His peace , now cries out with unstoppable force — ready to destroy and devour at once. 12. 💨 I Will Dry Up Their Herbs ( Isaiah 42:15 ) Synthetic monopolies and pharmakeia cartels like ASA and Growers Coalitions have hoarded God's gift. But Psalm 104:14 says herbs are for the service of man, not the service of mammon. Pools of exploitation will dry up . God's remedy will be freely given again. / https://poe.com/s/UsyOLEhcxPpVPOJBuifN 13. 🔄 Make the Crooked Straight ( Isaiah 42:16 “I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight.” Isaiah’s prophecy speaks of correcting what was distorted — restoring truth about God’s creation. For centuries, “kaneh-bosem” was mistranslated as “calamus,” obscuring the sacred role of cannabis in Scripture and worship. Today, archaeology, linguistics, and pharmacology converge to set the record straight. (See footnote below for full evidence .) / https://www.perplexity.ai/search/make-the-crooked-straight-isai-PLE00IzTTtihZ36pSUyHvA 14. 😞 They Shall Be Ashamed ( Isaiah 42:17 ) “They shall be turned back, they shall be greatly ashamed, that trust in graven images, that say to the molten images, Ye are our gods.” — Isaiah 42:17 Molten Images = Big Pharma’s Idols Isaiah’s “molten images” were idols forged by human hands. Today, the idols are forged in laboratories — pills, syringes, and patented drugs exalted as saviors. These have become the new “gods” of a deceived generation. / https://poe.com/s/TNro7uRjIaOsdX2z7bZB White Coats vs White Robes — A False Priesthood Exposed White Coats: Doctors and pharmaceutical systems claiming authority over life and death — yet profiting from sickness, not healing. White Robes: The redeemed in Revelation 7:14 , washed in the blood of the Lamb, healed by the Great Physician (Exodus 15:26 ). Modern medicine’s priesthood offers pharmakeia (sorcery) in place of Christ’s healing, demanding trust in human wisdom over divine design. Revelation 18:23 — Pharmakeia Deceiving Nations “…for by thy sorceries [ pharmakeia ] were all nations deceived.” — Revelation 18:23 This prophecy finds fulfillment today: global populations deceived by pharmaceutical monopolies, trusting in synthetic idols rather than the Fountain of Living Waters (Jeremiah 2:13 ). Jeremiah 2:13 — The Fountain of Living Waters “My people have committed two evils: they have forsaken me, the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.” People have forsaken God’s natural healing (e.g., kaneh-bosem) for “broken cisterns” — patented drugs that promise life but bring bondage and side effects. Prophetic Shame — and a Call to Repentance Those who trust in molten images will be “greatly ashamed” when God exposes pharmakeia’s lies. The shame is redemptive: Patients are called to forsake drug idols and return to the Creator’s provision. Doctors are called to repent from profiting off sickness and honor God’s healing design. Nations are warned: repent, for the Great Physician will not share His glory with another. Restoration Through Christ Alone The “ bruised reed ” (cannabis) — long criminalized — will rise again, not as an idol but as a sign pointing to Christ, whose leaves are “for the healing of the nations” (Revelation 22:2 ). / https://www.perplexity.ai/search/they-shall-be-ashamed-isaiah-4-HcBv5lT5RDW1K8UlHBBOdw 15. 🔥 Who Is Blind But My Servant? ( Isaiah 42:19 ) This calling was not earned by merit, but given through affliction. The blind now see — and will not be silenced . 16. 🏚 A People Robbed and Spoiled – The Cry to RESTORE ( Isaiah42: 22–23 ) “But this is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore. Who among you will give ear to this? who will hearken and hear for the time to come?” — Isaiah 42:22–23 (KJV) / https://www.perplexity.ai/search/a-people-robbed-and-spoiled-th-H.czL8qYSOWrGWjW7YkM3A The Twofold Captivity : Bars & Darkness Behind Bars – Nonviolent cannabis prisoners: punished for seeking or providing God’s healing plant (kaneh-bosem). Outside the Walls – Hidden captives in “darkness outside the prison house” (see #20): Hospitals – Patients managed by synthetic drugs, never cured — profit replaces compassion. Addiction Centers – Bound by pharmakeia , unaware that God’s plant breaks chains. Mental Wards – Sedated souls silenced, while natural healing is mocked. “None Saith, Restore” — Until Now For generations, no one demanded freedom for these captives. No one reclaimed God’s remedies. No one confronted pharmakeia’s idols. But now, the prophetic cry goes forth: RESTORE ! Restore freedom to cannabis prisoners. Restore healing to the sick deceived by pill idols. Restore truth about kaneh-bosem and the endocannabinoid system ( ECS ). Restore glory to the Great Physician, not Big Pharma. Prophetic Fulfillment This cry echoes Joel 2:25 : “I will restore the years the locust hath eaten.” It fulfills Luke 4:18 : “to preach deliverance to the captives… and recovering of sight to the blind.” It answers Isaiah 42:16: “I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight.” The time of silence is over. The remnant rises with a holy roar: RESTORE . / https://poe.com/s/Lg6SKRCDh7OIMxJfyfTS 17. 🔥 Who Gave Jacob for a Spoi l, & Israel to the Robbers ? ( Isaiah 42:24 ) This verse uses both names—Jacob and Israel—to call God’s people to remember both their struggle and their destiny. Jacob means “ supplanter ”—a name tied to struggle, wrestling, and human weakness. Israel means “ he who strives with God ” or “ God prevails ”—a name given after Jacob wrestled with the divine and overcame (Genesis 32:28 ). The verse asks : "Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers? Did not the LORD, He against whom we have sinned?" – Isaiah 42:24 (KJV) This is more than a question—it's a prophetic rebuke. Because the people forsook His ways, God allowed the robbers to plunder them. This applies not just to ancient Israel, but to our generation—robbed of health, truth, and freedom through pharmakeia , religious corruption, and false government protections. But here’s the redemption : Israel is the overcomer—the one who prevails after wrestling with God and man. This is what this ministry testifies: You become Jacob—broken, afflicted, and hunted. But through the truth God revealed in His creation ( kaneh - bosem ), you become Israel—healed, restored, and bold to speak. I overcame degenerative disease , addiction , and despair not through man's sorcery—but through God's plants, correctl y administered & prayerfully honored . This is not just a personal testimony—it is prophecy fulfilled. God still names the overcomers Israel —and He still uses the weak things of the world to confound the mighty (1 Corinthians 1:27 ). So yes—Jacob became Israel. And You, too, can overcome. 18. 🦁 You Are the Overcomer —Grafted into the Vine The fire of Isaiah 42:25 burns—but not for you. You are the overcomer. Grafted into the Vine, fueled by faith, and sealed by His Spirit. The bruised reed is not broken. The wild branch lives. ( Isaiah 42:25 ) ▪️ Drafted into Israel : You are Jacob—wrestling, broken, ensnared by the world’s pharmakeia . But now, you are Israel (Genesis 32:28 ). Not by blood, not by merit, but by the covenant grace of the One who grafts the wild branches into the Olive Tree (Romans 11:17 ). You were cut from the wilderness, but now you drink from the Root . ▪️ The Vine’s Command : "I am the Vine, ye are the branches—without Me, ye can do nothing" (John 15:5 ). Kaneh - bosm is not your salvation; it is a sign. The healing reed points to the True Vine. Abide in Him, and the fruit—liberty, healing, authority—will follow. ▪️ The Fury Turned to Favor : God’s anger shakes the systems that robbed His people (Isaiah 42:24 ), but you? You are fireproof. Not because you are strong, but because you are grafted. The same wrath that judges the world’s blindness is the refiner’s fire for His remnant. You laid it to heart—now you bear His seal (Ezekiel 9:4 ). 🔥 The Overcomer's Testimon y : The branches that boasted were broken off (Romans 11:20 ). The Overcomer, though wild by nature, are grafted in by faith (Romans 11:23 ). The Vine sustains the overcomer —not the other way around. "Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom." (Luke 12:32 ) “They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony…” — Revelation 12:11 🔎 Scholarly & Prophetic Footnote : “ Smoking Flax = Kaneh - Bosem ?” “A bruised reed shall He not break, and the smoking flax shall He not quench…” — Isaiah 42:3 (cf. Matthew 12:20 ) While traditionally interpreted as metaphor for human weakness and divine compassion, emerging scholarship and archaeological discoveries offer an expanded prophetic meaning rooted in botanical, linguistic, and theological evidence: 1. Linguistic Clarit y ( Sula Benet ): Dr. Sula Benet (1975, 1976) demonstrated that kaneh - bosem —translated in Exodus 30:23 as “ sweet calamus ”—was a mistranslation. She documented Semitic root consistency for cannabis across Hebrew (qaneh), Aramaic (kanab), Arabic (kanab), and Greek (kannabis), correcting a medieval error that disconnected cannabis from its biblical context. 2. Archaeological Confirmation ( Tel Arad ): In 2020, researchers analyzing residue on altars at Tel Arad (8th c. BCE) confirmed THC-rich cannabis was ritually burned in ancient temple worship. This aligns with the time of Isaiah and confirms that cannabis ( kaneh - bosem ) was used in sacred contexts, making it plausible that the “smoking flax” was not just a symbolic wick—but a literal, sacred, and persecuted herb. 3. Theological Implication (Restoration over Erasure ): Isaiah 42:3 prophetically affirms that the Servant (Messiah ) does not extinguish what is wounded or smoking. This applies not only to bruised people but also to bruised truths and anointed tools of healing—like cannabis—criminalized through pharmakeia , empire, and false religious gatekeeping. 4. Prophetic Fulfillmen t (Matthew 12:20 ): Jesus, quoting Isaiah, fulfills this verse not only through gentle compassion but by restoring what was cast aside. The “smoking flax” can be seen as both the marginalized believer and the banned botanical gift—both preserved and reignited by Christ. 5. Scriptural Linkage (Psalm 104:14, Revelation 22:2 ): “He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man…” (Psalm 104:14 ) “And the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.” (Revelation 22:2 ) Together these confirm God’s original design for plant-based healing . The “bruised reed” and “ smoking flax ” signify the suppressed—but now vindicated—natural remedies that are part of God’s covenant restoration. Conclusion : The “ smoking flax ” is more than a poetic metaphor—it is a sign. Kaneh-bosem, the sacred healing herb, is rising again. Christ does not extinguish it. He restores it . 📚 Citations : Benet, Sula . Early Diffusion and Folk Uses of Hemp, 1967. Benet, Sula . In Pot We Trust: The Sacred Herb in Biblical Times, 1975.

Traditionally, this represents individuals crushed by injustice. But in light of linguistic, botanical, and prophetic insights, this may also point to a sacred, healing plant— kaneh - bosem ( cannabis )—long persecuted, yet not destroyed. 🌿 The Reed as Kaneh-Bosem : A Sacred Gift Linguistic Evidence : Kaneh - bosem , mistranslated as “ calamus ,” is better understood—per Dr. Sula Benet and other Semitic linguists—as cannabis, based on phonetic parallels across ancient languages ( qaneh, kanbos, kannab ). Archaeological Confirmation : Cannabis was used in ancient temple rituals. A 2020 study at Tel Arad confirmed THC-rich cannabis on an altar dating to the 8th century BCE—Isaiah’s own era. Suppression Mirrors the Bruising : Once sacred, this herb has been criminalized, banned, and smeared. Its bruising is not just botanical—it’s political, legal, and spiritual. ✝️ Christ & the Commission to Heal In Matthew 12 , Jesus heals a man with a withered hand and retreats—not seeking fame, but fulfilling Isaiah’s prophecy of the gentle Servant. He “will not break the bruised reed” or “quench the smoking flax.” His ministry uplifts what the world casts aside: the sick, the poor, and—perhaps—the suppressed remedies God created. “ The works that I do shall ye do also; and greater works than these …” — John 14:12 If Christ upheld the wounded , might He also restore the healing gifts hidden in creation? 🔥 Prophetic Meaning : What Has Been Suppressed Shall Be Restored The bruised reed is not just people—it is also what helps heal them. Kaneh - bosem —God’s herbal remedy—has been: Bruised by pharmakeia Bent by false doctrine Burned in unjust courts Banned by law Yet God says : He will not break it . 🙌 A Call to Recognize Creation's Healing Voice God has not forgotten His healing covenant. Just as Jesus laid hands on the sick, today He raises up truth-tellers, herbal ministers, and whistleblowers to restore what was beaten down. This isn’t about glorifying the plant—but glorifying the Creator who put healing in His design: “And the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.” — Revelation 22:2 “He causeth the grass to grow… and herb for the service of man.” — Psalm 104:14 19. 📜 The Scroll Has Been Opened The sealed scroll of divine knowledge is being unrolled. The once-hidden truth of kaneh - bosem , suppressed by religious and political gatekeepers, is now revealed to the remnant. What was sealed for the wise is being read by the meek—and they understand. 20. 🔓 “ Outside the Prison Houses ” = Hospitals, Rehab Systems & Medical Captivity (Isaiah 42:7, 16 ) “To bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house… I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight.” — Isaiah 42:7, 16 Not all captivity has bars. Some is dressed in scrubs and disguised as care. Literal Captivity : Nonviolent cannabis prisoners. Medical Captivity : Patients trapped in hospitals, rehabs, and pharmaceutical systems—treated, but never cured, for profit. Why this fits Isaiah 42 : Darkness = Ignorance : Many remain blind to the endocannabinoid system ( ECS )—God’s healing blueprint written in our biology. Crooked = Mistranslation : Calamus was substituted for kaneh - bosem ; truth is being restored (Isaiah 42:16 ). Deliverance = Fulfillment : The blind are being led by a way they never knew—out of prisons and hospitals. Conclusion : When Does God Step In? Isaiah 42 answers : When His children are bruised (cannabis suppressed, truth mocked). When prisoners cry out (cannabis convicts, medical captives). When pharmakeia steals His glory (synthetic idols replace His herbs). When the sick cry out to the Great physician for healing. When the crooked must be made straight (calamus corrected to kaneh-bosem ). When prophecy must be fulfilled (Tel Arad altars , ECS discover y). Then He roars : “The Lord shall go forth as a mighty man… He shall cry, yea, roar!” — Isaiah 42:13 ✝️ Let the Captives Go Free “They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony.” — Revelation 12:11 7. "To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house." 8. "I am the Lord: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another , neither my praise to graven images ." 9. "Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them." —Isaiah 42:7-9 All glory to Jesus Christ alone . — Bfreedindeed.net Ministries ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📜 Archaeological Footnote : Smoking Flax & Tel Arad Archaeological Footnote : Smoking Flax & Tel Arad (Isaiah 42:3, Matthew 12:20 ) In 2020, archaeologists discovered burnt cannabis residue on a limestone altar at Tel Arad , an ancient Jewish shrine dating to the 8th century BCE—Isaiah’s era. This discovery confirms that cannabis was not only present in ancient Israel, but used ritually in sacred worship. / https://www.perplexity.ai/search/archaeological-footnote-smokin-_DYi1oQnRuGW3tx6M1Imyw The smaller of the two altars contained a mixture of cannabis and animal dung—enough THC to have psychoactive effects when inhaled. The larger altar bore frankincense and animal fat, further supporting its use in formal cultic rituals. Remarkably, the layout of this shrine mirrors the design of the First Temple in Jerusalem, implying that cannabis-based worship was not isolated but part of broader temple tradition. These findings strengthen the identification of "kaneh-bosem " (Exodus 30:23 )—long mistranslated as “calamus ”—with cannabis, based on linguistic parallels and the complete absence of calamus remains at any biblical altar. This archaeological record gives new depth to the metaphor of the “smoking flax ” in Isaiah 42:3 and Matthew 12:20 , affirming that what was once burned as a sacred healing offering has been persecuted, misnamed, and nearly extinguished—yet Christ does not quench it. He restores it. (Final updates will be under public witnesses ) Temple Connection : The Tel Arad shrine’s layout resembles the First Temple in Jerusalem (Holy of Holies, twin altars). This suggests that cannabis worship was not fringe but part of mainstream Israelite temple tradition. Prophetic Significance: Confirms kaneh-bosem = cannabis (no calamus found). Explains why Isaiah calls it a “smoking flax” — a sacred wick bruised by misuse, now restored in prophecy. Connects to Matthew 12:20 where Jesus quotes this prophecy, showing continuity between Old Covenant sacred plant use and Christ’s fulfillment of healing. / https://poe.com/s/QzJHMcWtitVdzJCasMBh “He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man…” — Psalm 104:14 “The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.” — Revelation 22:2 ( Final updates will be under public witnesses ) / https://www.perplexity.ai/search/as-of-now-there-are-no-finding-s6en_0IfScmMmc1Y_IFipQ#0 📚 Kaneh - Bosem vs Calamus Kaneh-Bosem vs Calamus: Linguistic + Archaeological Evidence / https://poe.com/s/uy44A0vG06hAw2yYHUh0 Linguistics (Benet, Bennett, Mechoulam): Sula Benet (1975) demonstrated kaneh-bosem (קְנֵה-בֹשֶׂם) consistently refers to cannabis across Semitic languages (Hebrew qaneh, Aramaic kanab, Arabic kanab, Greek kannabis). Chris Bennett’s Cannabis and the Soma Solution (2010) links cannabis to anointing oil and temple rituals, not calamus. Raphael Mechoulam, who first isolated THC, observed Israel’s historical familiarity with cannabis, reinforcing its biblical plausibility. Why Calamus Doesn’t Fit: Calamus (Acorus calamus) is aromatic but non-psychoactive and absent from biblical altars. The 2020 Tel Arad study confirmed cannabis residue — no calamus was found. The “calamus” error entered through Septuagint/Vulgate mistranslations, later corrected by modern linguistics. Archaeology (Tel Arad Altars): 8th-century BCE altars revealed cannabis mixed with dung for combustion (psychoactive inhalation) and frankincense with fat (prayer incense). Shrine layout parallels the First Temple, suggesting cannabis worship was mainstream, not fringe. Prophetic Fulfillment: The correction fulfills Isaiah 42:16 — “crooked things straight”. Links Exodus 30:23 (anointing oil) → Isaiah 42:3 (smoking flax) → Matthew 12:20 (Christ) → Revelation 22:2 (healing leaves). ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Founder’s Statement As the sole contributor and founder of Bfreedindeed.net Ministries, my calling has always been to proclaim Biblical truth and uncover the sacred wisdom hidden in Scripture for centuries — particularly regarding God’s natural remedies for His people.

Explore the full sequence of end-time events in Bible prophecy — from the Four Horsemen and Seven Trumpets to the triumphant return of Jesus Christ. Bfreedindeed.net Ministries | End Time Prophesy This outline follows the biblical order of prophetic events leading up to the Return of Christ & the New Jerusalem 🌟 Invitation to Engage : Exploring God’s Prophetic Timeline The Book of Revelation outlines a dramatic series of prophetic events that will unfold before the Second Coming of Jesus Christ . Written around 95 AD during Roman persecution (likely under Emperor Domitian ), it offered persecuted Christians both a sobering warning of coming judgments and the hope of God’s final victory. At the heart of this revelation is a sealed scroll containing God’s final judgments. In Revelation 5:2 , a mighty angel asks, “Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?” — and no one is found worthy. John begins to weep (Revelation 5:4 ) at the thought that God’s righteous plan might be delayed. But then, hope appears. In Revelation 5:5 , one of the elders declares: “Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book.” Jesus — depicted in Revelation 5:6 as a Lamb that was slain — alone is worthy to break the seals and initiate God’s plan of final judgment and redemption. This scroll’s unsealing in Revelation 6–8 triggers a sequence of prophetic judgments : the Seal, Trumpet, and Bowl judgments, marking the apocalyptic end of the age. 📖 The Great Falling Away & Revelation of the Antichrist (2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 ) Before the end-time judgments unfold, the Bible prophesies a great spiritual rebellion — a widespread rejection of biblical truth, paving the way for the Antichrist’s rise to power. 📖 2 Thessalonians 2:3 "Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition." 📜 Key Details : Apostasy : Many abandon biblical teaching in favor of false philosophies, moral compromise, and rebellion against God. Antichrist’s Rise : A powerful, Satan-empowered leader deceives nations, demanding global worship and persecuting the faithful. 👉 See also: 1 Timothy 4:1 , Matthew 24:10-12 , and Revelation 13:1-10 . 🌍 Modern Parallels : Secularism, moral relativism, religious syncretism, and increased hostility toward biblical Christianity foreshadow this coming rebellion — though its full manifestation awaits the Antichrist’s appearance. ✅ The Two Witnesses (Revelation 11:3-13 ) During the Tribulation, two prophetic witnesses boldly proclaim God’s truth in Jerusalem for 1,260 days (3.5 years). 📖 Revelation 11:3-6 Perform miracles like turning water to blood and calling down fire. Prophesy in sackcloth, symbolizing repentance. 📖 Revelation 11:7-12 Killed by the beast, their bodies lie in Jerusalem. Resurrected after 3.5 days, ascending to heaven before all. 📜 Key Insights : Possibly Moses and Elijah (or Enoch and Elijah ), based on their miraculous signs. Symbolize God’s faithful witness amidst global rebellion. 🌍 Modern Parallels : Bold Christian witness amid persecution today foreshadows their uncompromising message. ⚔️ The Battle of Armageddon (Revelation 16:16; 19:19-21 ) The final military conflict between the forces of evil and the returning Christ. 📖 Revelation 16:16 World’s armies gather at Armageddon (Megiddo ) in Israel’s Jezreel Valley. 📖 Revelation 19:11-21 Christ returns on a white horse, defeating His enemies with the sword of His mouth. 🌍 Modern Echoes : Middle East conflict flashpoints and global alliances suggest geopolitical foreshadows — though the literal battle awaits the Antichrist’s regime. 📯 The Seven Bowls of Wrath (Revelation 16 ) The final, devastating outpouring of God’s wrath upon a defiant, unrepentant world. 📖 Revelation 16:1-21 Painful sores Bloody seas and rivers Scorching heat Darkness Euphrates dries to prepare for Armageddon Earthquake levels cities 100-lb hailstones 🌍 Modern Foreshadows : Climate disasters, plagues, and political instability hint at the fragility of human systems, though these judgments will be far greater. 👑 The Return of Jesus Christ (Revelation 19:11-21 ) The glorious Second Coming of Christ to defeat evil, judge the nations, and inaugurate His kingdom. 📖 Revelation 19:11-16 Christ appears in glory as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Destroys the Antichrist and false prophet (Revelation 19:20). 📖 Zechariah 14:4-9 His feet stand on the Mount of Olives, splitting it in two. 🌍 Modern Longing : Global chaos increases anticipation for His righteous rule. 🕊️ The Millennial Reign of Christ (Revelation 20:1-6 ) A literal 1,000-year reign where Christ rules from Jerusalem in peace and justice. 📖 Revelation 20:1-6 Satan is bound. Believers reign with Christ. 📖 Isaiah 11:6-9 Perfect peace, nature restored, knowledge of God filling the earth. 🌍 Modern Inspiration : The millennial hope inspires Christians to pursue justice and righteousness today. 📜 Prophetic Sequence Summary ➡️ The Great Falling Awa y & Revealing of the Antichrist A global apostasy occurs as people abandon biblical truth. The Antichris t , the “man of sin ” and “son of perdition,” is revealed — a powerful, deceptive world leader demanding worship. 📖 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4; Revelation 13:1-10 ➡️ Seven Seals Initial divine judgments unleashing conquest, war, famine, and death, setting the stage for global tribulation. 📖 Revelation 6–8 ➡️ Seven Trumpets Escalating, partial judgments affecting earth, sea, sky, and humanity — calling for repentance. 📖 Revelation 8–11 ➡️ Seven Bowls of Wrath Final, devastating judgments on the Antichrist’s kingdom and the unrepentant. 📖 Revelation 16 ➡️ The Battle of Armageddon The world’s armies gather against Christ and are defeated at His return. 📖 Revelation 16:16; 19:19-21 ➡️ The Return of Jesus Christ Visible, glorious Second Coming as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. 📖 Revelation 19:11-16 ➡️ The Millennial Reign A literal 1,000-year reign of peace and justice, fulfilling God’s promises. 📖 Revelation 20:1-6 ➡️ The New Jerusalem and Eternal State The eternal home of God’s people — a new heaven and new earth free of sin and sorrow. 📖 Revelation 21–22 🔥 Key Events Leading to the Return of Christ : ✅ The Great Falling Away (2 Thessalonians 2:3 ) ✅ The Rise of the Antichrist (Revelation 13:1-10 ) ✅ The Opening of the Seven Seals (Revelation 6–8 ) ✅ The Sounding of the Seven Trumpets (Revelation 8–11 ) ✅ The Ministry of the Two Witnesses (Revelation 11:3-13 ) ✅ The Gathering at Armageddon (Revelation 16:16 ) ✅ The Pouring Out of the Seven Bowls of Wrath (Revelation 16 ) ✅ The Triumphant Return of Jesus Chris t (Revelation 19:11-21 ) ✅ The Millennial Reign of Christ (Revelation 20:1-6 ) ✅ The New Jerusalem and Eternal State (Revelation 21–22 ) 🐎 The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (Revelation 6:1-8 ) As the Lamb (Jesus ) opens the first four seals of the scroll, four horsemen are released onto the earth. These are not Christ Himself, but symbolic agents of divine judgment unleashed upon a rebellious world. They represent successive phases of God’s judgment — both spiritual and literal — allowed by Christ to expose sin, deception, and rebellion. It’s crucial to understand : Jesus opens the seals (Revelation 5:5-7 ), but the horsemen are agents or symbols of judgment — allegories of wrath and consequence upon a defiant humanity. 🎠 The White Horse (Revelation 6:2 ) Interpretation: Not Christ : Although some early Church writers like Irenaeus believed this represented Jesus , the context and symbolism suggest otherwise. Most modern scholars agree this figure represents deception, false messiahs, and Antichrist-like conquest — a global deceiver mimicking righteousness but driven by Satan’s agenda. Key Details : Wears a stephanos (victor’s crown ) — unlike the diadema (royal crown ) Christ wears in Revelation 19:12 . Carries a bow without arrows — implying conquest through diplomacy, religious deception, or false peace rather than open warfare. Parallels Zechariah 6:1-8 , where colored horses symbolize divine judgments. Aligns with Matthew 24:5 , where Jesus warns, “Many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.” Conclusion : This figure represents the spirit of Antichrist deception, a false peace and messianic claim that leads humanity deeper into rebellion and chaos — the beginning of God’s judgment on the unrighteous. 🏇 The Red Horse (Revelation 6:4 ) Symbolizes : War and civil unrest. The rider is given a great sword and removes peace from the earth, ushering in widespread military conflict, societal division, and bloodshed. 👉 See Matthew 24:6-7 & Matthew 10:34-36 . 🏇 The Black Horse (Revelation 6:5-6 ) Symbolizes : Famine and economic collapse. The rider carries scales for measuring scarce food supplies. The hyperinflation of staples and the preservation of luxuries highlight devastating inequality. Modern Parallels: Global food insecurity, inflation, and economic disparity foreshadow this coming condition. 🏇 The Pale (Greenish ) Horse (Revelation 6:8 ) Symbolizes : Death on a massive scale. This rider is named Death, followed by Hades, claiming a quarter of earth’s population through war, famine, disease, and nature’s fury. Pale (Greek: chloros ) describes a corpse-like, sickly green hue. Modern Shadows: Global pandemics, environmental disasters, and unchecked violence mirror this grim judgment. 📜 Purpose of the Four Horsemen These horsemen mark the “birth pains ” of the end times ( Matthew 24:8 ), exposing human rebellion and opening the way for escalating judgments. They serve as both spiritual warnings and physical judgments, a divine announcement of the consequences of sin, while leaving room for repentance before God’s final wrath. 📯 The Seven Trumpet Judgments ( Revelation 8–11 ) Following the Seal judgments, the Seven Trumpets amplify divine wrath. These judgments strike earth’s ecosystems, human civilization, and spiritual forces, echoing the plagues of Egypt (Exodus 7–12 ) and intensifying humanity’s suffering and rebellion. 📜 Overview of the Seven Trumpets : 1st Trumpet : Hail, fire, and blood burn a third of the earth’s vegetation. 2nd Trumpet : A burning mountain falls into the sea, devastating marine life and commerce. 3rd Trumpet : The star Wormwood poisons a third of freshwater, causing mass deaths. 4th Trumpet : Cosmic disruptions darken a third of the sun, moon, and stars. 5th Trumpet ( First Woe ): Demonic locust-like creatures torment unbelievers for five months. Their leader, Abaddon/Apollyon (“Destroyer ”), foreshadows the Antichrist’s satanic rule. 6th Trumpet ( Second Woe ): A 200-million-man army slays a third of humanity. Could represent an eastern military alliance (Revelation 16:12 ) or a supernatural/demonic force. May prophetically connect to Ezekiel 38-39 ’s Gog-Magog war. 7th Trumpet ( Third Woe ): Declares “no more delay” (Revelation 10:6-7 ). Announces the final outpouring of God’s wrath and the imminent return of Christ. Possibly fulfills the “mystery of God ” in Daniel 9 ’s 70th week and 2 Peter 3:9 . 🌍 Modern Parallels and Responsible Discernment While today’s wars, pandemics, economic crises, and environmental disasters resemble these prophetic judgments, the complete fulfillment of Revelation lies ahead. Jesus warned in Matthew 24:6-8 against premature speculation. Key prophetic signs — such as the rise of the Antichrist (2 Thessalonians 2:3 ) and a global worship system (Revelation 13:15-17 ) — have not yet fully appeared. These signs remind believers to stay vigilant, faithful, and hopeful — not fearful. 🛡️ Closing Word : God’s Justice and Mercy Revelation boldly reveals God’s righteous judgment on a rebellious world — but it also proclaims His enduring mercy. Even amid escalating calamities, God extends grace and promises final victory and eternal life to those who trust in Him. Luke 21:28 : “ And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh .” ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🕊️ The New Jerusalem : God’s Eternal City & the Fulfillment of His Promise (Revelation 21–22 ) The Book of Revelation culminates not in chaos, but in hope and restoration. After the judgments of the seals, trumpets, bowls, and the defeat of evil at Armageddon, John is shown a breathtaking vision: the New Jerusalem — the eternal home of God’s people. This passage reveals the final fulfillment of God’s redemptive plan: a new heaven, a new earth, and a holy city where God dwells forever with His redeemed. 📜 1️⃣ The Passing of the First Heaven & First Earth (Revelation 21:1 ) “And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.” This marks a cosmic transformation. The old, sin-stained world is replaced with a new, perfect creation. This isn’t annihilation but renewal and restoration — consistent with biblical prophecy. Supporting Scriptures : 2 Peter 3:10-13 — the earth and heavens are purged by fire, making way for righteousness. Isaiah 65:17, 66:22 — God promises a new creation free from sin’s curse. Romans 8:20-22 — all creation groans, awaiting this liberation. 📜 2️⃣ The New Jerusalem : Our Eternal Home (Revelation 21:2-27 ) “And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.” The New Jerusalem is both a literal city and a symbolic representation of the redeemed people of God — the Church — perfected and united with Christ. Key Features : A Bride for Christ: Symbolizing the Church’s purity and readiness. God’s Dwelling Place: “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men…” (Revelation 21:3 ) No More Sorrow: Death, grief, and pain are forever abolished (Revelation 21:4 ) ✨ 3️⃣ Divine Glory & Eternal Securit y The city radiates with God’s glory (Revelation 21:11, 23 ), so brilliant that sun and moon are unnecessary. The gates will never be shut (Revelation 21:2 5), symbolizing peace, security, and open access for the redeemed. Only those written in the Lamb’s Book of Life may enter (Revelation 21:27 ). Its dimensions — a perfect cube, like the Holy of Holies (Revelation 21:15-21 ) — signify God’s holy, intimate presence forever among His people. 🌳 4️⃣ The River of Life & Tree of Life (Revelation 22:1-2 ) Flowing from the throne of God is the River of Life, bringing eternal refreshment and healing. On both sides grows the Tree of Life, producing fruit every month and leaves for the healing of the nations — restoring what was lost in Eden (Genesis 2:9, 3:22 ). 📖 5️⃣ Theological Significance Fulfillment of Eden’s Promise: The New Jerusalem echoes the paradise of Eden — no curse, perfect fellowship, eternal life (Revelation 22:3-5 ). Victory Over Death and Sin: “And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire.” (Revelation 20:14 ) Eternal Fellowship: God’s people will see His face and bear His name forever (Revelation 22:4 ). 📖 6️⃣ Is the New Jerusalem Literal or Symbolic ? Most Bible scholars agree it is both literal and symbolic: Literal: A real, physical city descending from heaven. Symbolic: Its perfect dimensions, radiant materials, and imagery of gold and jewels symbolize divine perfection, holiness, and beauty beyond earthly comprehension. 🙏 7️⃣ How Do We Enter the New Jerusalem ? Access is granted through faith in Jesus Christ alone: By His Blood: “They have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.” (Revelation 7:14 ) By Overcoming by Faith: “He that overcometh shall inherit all things.” (Revelation 21:7; cf. John 14:1-3 ) By Walking in Obedience: “Blessed are they that do His commandments…” (Revelation 22:14 ) 🌊 8️⃣ The Meaning of “No More Sea ” (Revelation 21:1 ) Ancient biblical imagery often associated the sea with chaos, evil, and separation. Its absence in the new creation signifies: The removal of chaos and danger. The establishment of eternal peace and stability in God’s presence. This phrase speaks to the perfect, harmonious order of God’s new world. ✝️ Final Word : The Eternal Promise of Restoration The vision of the New Jerusalem is the crowning promise of Revelation — a new heaven, a new earth, and a holy city where: God dwells forever with His redeemed. Sin, death, and sorrow are no more. Eternal life, peace, and joy fill every heart. “Behold, I make all things new.” (Revelation 21:5 ) This glorious future reminds us that God’s justice and mercy are inseparable — and that every tear will be wiped away for those who trust in Christ. While the fulfillment of these prophecies awaits Christ’s return , they serve as powerful reminders that our current suffering is temporary. The promise of the New Jerusalem and the renewal of creation encourages believers to live with eternal perspective, committed to God's justice, mercy, and love. As Revelation 21:3 declares , ‘Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man,’—a glorious hope that fuels our faith and hope in His coming kingdom.” / https://poe.com/s/utniCDzpNFIgOYofdy2L “ And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh .” — Luke 21:28 Supernatural Signs - Mark of the Beast - Wormwood - One-World Agenda - Law, Grace & the ... - Gog, Maygog & ...

Discover the biblical truth about the Rapture. Was it ever meant to be pre-tribulation? Explore scripture, history, and prophecy to uncover what really happens at the seventh trumpet—and why the modern doctrine of a pre-tribulation rapture is dangerously misleading. - Bfreedindeed.net Ministries - Jesus vs Allah Is the Pre - Trib Rapture Biblical ? ✝️ Ministry Update : An Invitation to Examine the Rapture Debate Notice of Website Interference : BFreedIndeed.net Ministries 📖 This study engages ongoing 2025 discussions surrounding the timing of the rapture , presenting a biblically grounded, post-tribulational view anchored in Scripture . We encourage readers to approach with prayerful discernment, verify all citations, and join us in upholding truth in a time of confusion and digital manipulation. “Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.” – John 17:17 Examining the Hope Millions Hold Dear “Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.” — 1 John 4:1 Across pulpits, books, and movies like Left Behind , the idea of a secret pre-tribulation rapture—where believers vanish before a seven-year period of chaos—has become a cherished belief for many Christians. But is it actually found in Scripture? This webpage is not about mocking hope . It is about testing the hope we have against the Word of God. Millions have been told that Jesus will come in two stages : first invisibly, to secretly rapture the Church before the tribulation, and then visibly, after it ends. But Jesus warned us specifically against believing in secret comings (Matthew 24:23–27 ), The Bible speaks consistently of one return, one resurrection, and one gathering—at the last trumpet. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🌊 Just As in the Days of Noah : Who Was Taken ? “But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.” — Matthew 24:37 The Bible & Enoch Agree : At the time of judgment, it is the wicked who are removed —not the righteous. 📖 Matthew 24:37–39 37. "But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be." 38. "For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark," 39. "And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be." The wicked were taken by the flood. "Noah was not removed from the earth, but preserved through the judgment—just as the righteous will be. 📜 Confirmation in the Book of Enoch The ancient Book of Enoch paints the same picture during a time of great tribulation: The elect are blessed and will survive the tribulation. The wicked are removed from the earth. The Holy One is seen with His elect, offering shelter and peace. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🦅 What Did Jesus Mean by “Taken ”? “And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.” — Luke 17:37 - The term “eagles ” (often translated as “vultures” in other versions , e.g., AMP) symbolizes death and divine judgment, not a secret rapture or rescue. - This follows Jesus’ words: “one shall be taken, and the other left ” (Luke 17:34–36 ), often misused to support a pre-tribulation rapture. - Jesus clarifies that those “taken ” face judgment , as the wicked were swept away in Noah’s flood, while the righteous remain preserved. - Compare translations: [BibleGateway KJV/AMP ] For further clarity , see the Luke 17:37 comparison in KJV and AMP . This passage underscores that the “taken ” face divine judgment, not a secret removal of believers to safety. The imagery emphasizes divine justice, consistent with other biblical themes: those “taken ” are swept away in judgment, while the righteous remain under God's protection. This statement clarifies who is taken and to what fate . Vultures (or eagles) gathering around corpses paints a picture of death and judgment, not reward. This directly follows Jesus saying “one shall be taken, and the other left ” (Luke 17:34–36 )—often cited to support the rapture. But Jesus’ answer implies the ones “taken ” are taken in judgment, not to safety. This matches the pattern of Noah’s day : The wicked were taken by the flood. The righteous remained and were preserved through the judgment. 100:5 "And over all the righteous and holy, He will appoint guardians from among the holy angels to guard them as the apple of an eye, until He makes an end of all wickedness and all sin, and though the righteous sleep a long sleep, they have nothing to fear." 6. "Then the children of the earth shall see the wise in security, and shall understand all the words of this book, and recognize that their riches shall not be able to save them in the overthrow of their sins." — Enoch 100:5–6 ( summary ) The ancient Book of Enoch , referenced in Jude 1:14 , supports the biblical pattern of God’s preservation of the righteous during tribulation: “And in those days the righteous shall arise from their sleep, and wisdom shall arise and be given unto them… And the earth shall be cleansed from all defilement, and from all sin, and from all punishment, and from all torment…” — Enoch 50:1 , 51:5 (R.H. Charles translation, 1912 ) - The elect are preserved and blessed during tribulation . - The wicked are removed from the earth . - The Holy One is seen with His elect , offering shelter and peace. ( Note : The Book of Enoch is non-canonical but cited for historical context to illustrate early Jewish and Christian views on end-time endurance.) This study challenges the popular narrative . It invites readers to honestly examine whether the pre-tribulation rapture stands up to biblical scrutiny, early church history, and logical consistency. We will explore: Key Scriptures used to support pre-trib doctrine —and what they really say. The biblical sequence of Christ’s return, tribulation, and resurrection . The voice of the early Church, which overwhelmingly expected tribulation before the Lord's return. The problems with dispensational theology, the foundation of pre-trib teaching . This is not about winning an argument . It is about being prepared for what lies ahead . False hope can leave people unprepared and spiritually vulnerable. But truth equips us to stand in the evil day. If you hold to the pre-trib rapture, I invite you to test your view —not by tradition or emotion, but by Scripture. You may be surprised by what the Bible actually teaches. Let’s examine the hope millions hold dear —and find a stronger, more enduring hope rooted in the Word of God, not man-made doctrine. We understand the longing for sudden deliverance —it’s a natural and heartfelt hope. But what if Scripture calls us not to escape from the storm, but to endure through it? You’ve probably asked : But what about verses like 1 Thessalonians 5:9 ?” or “Doesn’t Revelation 3:10 promise escape? These are valid questions —and this page was created to examine them honestly. The idea of a secret rapture before tribulation has captured hearts worldwide. Yet the Bible paints a different picture: one of believers refined through trial, not removed from it. At Bfreedindeed.net Ministries , we’re committed to uncovering the unfiltered truth of God’s Word. Anchored in the seventh trumpet of Revelation , this study will show that the rapture occurs not before, but after the tribulation—preparing you not for escape, but for endurance and victory in Christ. "In the world ye shall have tribulation..." — John 16:33 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 1. What the Bible Really Says About the Rapture The word "rapture " never appears in the Bible. It comes from the Latin rapiemur , a translation of the Greek word harpazo ("caught up ") found in 1 Thessalonians 4:17 . While the event is described, its timing is not pre-tribulational . 📖 2 Timothy 3:16 "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness." Let God’s Word be the final authorit y as we walk through this study together. Let’s examine the key verses often cited : 1 Thessalonians 4:16–17 "For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord." Note : While this describes the event of being "caught up ," the timing—before or after tribulation —is debated. Contextually, it aligns with the final trumpet, which occurs after the tribulation in the biblical sequence. 1 Corinthians 15:51–52 51. "Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed," 52. "In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed." Revelation 11:15 (7th Trumpet ) "And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever." These events clearly occur after the tribulation . Countering the “Secret Rapture ” Claim : Pre-tribulationists often claim harpazo implies a secret disappearance. But in Acts 8:39 and 2 Corinthians 12:2, the word refers to powerful, visible acts of God. 1 Thessalonians 4:16 includes a shout, archangel, and trumpet—not a secret, but a public display of Christ’s return. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 2. Jesus ’ Timeline : No Rapture Before Tribulation Matthew 24:29–31 29. "Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:" 30. "And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory." 31. "And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other." Note : This clearly states "after " the tribulation. Jesus explicitly states the gathering of His elect happens after the tribulation , not before. His words leave no room for ambiguity —He prepares His followers to (endure ) through the tribulation , rather than to (escape ) it. The sequence is crucial : tribulation first, then His glorious return and the gathering of the elect afterward. Supporting Scripture : "These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." (John 16:33 ,) — Jesus Himself promises His disciples that they will face (tribulation ) and hardship in this world. This affirms Jesus’ consistent message : believers should expect trials, persecutions, and difficulties, especially as the end times approach. Yet, amidst this, Jesus encourages His followers to "be of good cheer " because "He has overcome the world ", providing confidence and peace in the midst of adversity. Clarification on Tribulation and Wrath : It is vital to distinguish between (tribulation) —which includes periods of earthly trial, persecution, and hardship (John 16:33; 1 Peter 1:6–7 )—and (God’s final judgment ), often called "wrath " (Revelation 16:1; Romans 5:9 ). The Bible teaches that ( believers are preserved from God's final wrath ) (1 Thessalonians 5:9 ), but (not necessarily exempt from tribulation ) on earth. Jesus and the apostles teach that believers will face ( significant tribulation ), but they are (protected from God's ultimate, final judgment ). Understanding 1 Thessalonians 5:9 : The verse states , "For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ". This specifically refers to (God’s final judgment / wrath )—the day of God's ultimate wrath—(from which believers are preserved ). However, "tribulation ", such as persecution, suffering, and hardship, (is a different experience ). It is a test of faith, a period believers are called to endure, not an exemption from God's judgment. Jesus and other apostles repeatedly teach that believers will face "tribulation ", but they are protected from the fiery wrath of God that culminates at the end of the age. Many who teach a pre-tribulation rapture cite 1 Thessalonians 5:9 , “God has not appointed us to wrath,” as proof that Christians won’t go through the end-time tribulation. But the Bible clearly distinguishes between tribulation and wrath. Tribulation refers to persecution, trials, and suffering that believers endure in a fallen world (John 16:33; 1 Peter 1:6–7 ). Wrath refers to God's final judgment on the wicked (Revelation 16:1; Romans 5:9 ). Yes, we are promised deliverance from God's wrath . But we are never promised escape from tribulation. In fact, Jesus said plainly: "These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation..." (John 16:33 ). Scripture teaches protection and perseverance through tribulation—not escape from it. Summary : - Jesus explicitly states that the gathering of His elect occurs "after the tribulation " (Matthew 24:29–31 ). - Tribulation (earthly trials and persecution ) is (expected ) for believers, as Jesus warned (John 16:33; 1 Peter 1:6–7 ). - God’s wrath (final judgment ) is (reserved for the end ), and believers are (preserved from ) this wrath (1 Thessalonians 5:9 ). - The biblical sequence (confirms ) that believers will "endure " through tribulation until Christ’s visible return, (not) be removed beforehand in a secret rapture. 💡 Bonus Insight : Enoch’s Witness to End - Time Endurance While our study is grounded firmly in the Bible, ancient texts like the Book of Enoch —highly respected among early believers and quoted in Jude 1:14 —offer supportive insight. Enoch foresaw a time of tribulation , not marked by the escape of the righteous, but by God’s protection amid judgment: Blessing of the Righteous : Enoch blesses the elect and righteous who will be living during the tribulation. Removal of the Wicked : The wicked and godless are removed—not the righteous. Peace and Protection : God establishes peace with His elect and shelters them. Final Judgment : The righteous are preserved while the world undergoes judgment. Vision of the Holy One : Enoch sees the Holy One with His elect, declaring their blessed status in the midst of upheaval. This vision aligns closely with Jesus’ own words in Matthew 24 , and Revelation’s depiction of saints enduring until Christ’s return. The theme is consistent: the righteous are refined and preserved, not evacuated. 📝 Note on Enoch : The Book of Enoch is not part of the Protestant canon, but it was well-known to early Christians and even quoted by Jude (Jude 1:14 ). We reference it here not to build doctrine, but to highlight how early Jewish and Christian voices echoed the biblical truth that the righteous would endure tribulation—not be removed from it. This helps us see that the post-tribulational hope is not new, but ancient and enduring. 📖 2 Thessalonians 2:1–4 — A Clear Warning Against Premature Expectations In 2 Thessalonians 2:1–4, Paul offers a direct and sobering correction to early believers who feared the day of the Lord had already arrived. He writes, “Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed…” (v.3). This passage unmistakably teaches that the coming of Christ and our gathering to Him —that is, the rapture—cannot take place until after the Antichrist is revealed and sets himself up in the temple as God. This aligns precisely with Jesus’ words in Matthew 24:15–31 , where the appearance of the abomination of desolation, the great tribulation, and cosmic signs precede His visible return. Far from an any-moment escape , the Bible teaches a faithful endurance through these trials until Christ returns at the end of the age. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 3. The Last Trumpet = The Seventh Trumpet These passages describe the same climactic event: Scripture Event Described Timing 1 Thessalonians 4:16 –17 - Dead rise, living caught up - Trumpet of God 1 Corinthians 15:52 - Resurrection At the last trumpet Revelation 11:15–18 Seventh trumpet, Christ reigns - After tribulation Revelation 1:7 : “Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.” Not only will believers see Him , but even those who pierced Him and the nations who rejected Him will mourn at His appearance. The return of Jesus is not a hidden event —it is cosmic, visible, and unmistakable. John 17:15 : “I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.” Explicit Sequence in Jesus’ Words : Jesus explicitly states in Matthew 24:29–31 that His gathering of the elect occurs "immediately after the tribulation ". This sequence is confirmed by the parallel passages in Revelation and Paul’s writings, which describe the last trumpet and Christ’s return after the tribulation . This clear biblical order contradicts the idea of a secret rapture occurring before the tribulation begins. In Matthew 24:29–31 , Jesus gives a straightforward timeline: “Immediately after the tribulation of those days… they will see the Son of Man coming… and He will gather His elect.” This matches what Paul describes in 1 Thessalonians 4 and 1 Corinthians 15 , and what John sees in Revelation 11 : Christ returns with power at the final trumpet to gather His people. The Bible places the rapture after the tribulation—not before. This direct teaching from Jesus leaves no room for a hidden or early escape. Paul says the resurrection and rapture happen “ at the last trumpet ” (1 Corinthians 15:52 ). In Revelation 11:15–18 , the seventh trumpet is the final trumpet, signaling: The kingdoms of this world becoming Christ’s, Judgment of the dead, Rewards for the saints, The finishing of God’s mystery (Revelation 10:7 ). This is not a hidden event . It’s loud, visible, and final. There is no biblical support for a pre-tribulation trumpet. The seventh trumpet is the last, and it comes after the tribulation, just as Jesus and Paul both describe. What About Revelation 3:10 ? Revelation 3:10 says “Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.” (KJV) - The Greek phrase τηρήσω ἐκ (tēreō ek ) implies preservation through trial, not physical removal. - For example, John 17:15 : “I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.” (KJV) - This aligns with God’s pattern of preservation, as seen with Noah through the flood and Israel during Egypt’s plagues. - Revelation 1:7 further cements the public nature of Christ’s return: “Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him…” (KJV) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 4. The Church in Tribulation : Present, Not Absent Common Pre - Trib Claim : The Church disappears from Revelation after chapter 3. Biblical Rebuttal : This claim assumes absence where the text shows presence . Throughout Revelation, the saints are clearly on earth during tribulation: Revelation 6:9–11 – Souls under the altar (martyrs ) Revelation 7:13-14 – 13. "And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?" 14. "And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb." Revelation 13:7 – “And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.” Revelation 14:12 – “Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.” This confirms believers are present during the tribulation , not removed from it. These are not a separate group—they are the enduring Church . Who Are the “Elect ” and “Saints ”? Some claim these refer to Jewish believers or “tribulation converts ,” not the Church. But Scripture calls all believers the elect and saints: Romans 8:33 , Colossians 3:12 – The elect Ephesians 1:1 , Revelation 12:11 – The saints Pre - trib advocates often claim the “saints ” in Revelation are either Jewish believers or “tribulation converts” who missed the rapture. But Scripture applies these terms to all faithful believers—before and during tribulation. Romans 8:33 – “Who shall lay anything to the charge of God’s elect?” Colossians 3:12 – “Put on therefore, as the elect of God…” Ephesians 1:1 – “To the saints… and to the faithful in Christ Jesus” Revelation 12:11 – “They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb…” There is no biblical warrant to divide believers into two groups—“pre-rapture Church ” and “tribulation saints .” God’s elect are present throughout Revelation, and they overcome by faith until the return of Christ. Is the Rapture Imminent ? Many claim Jesus could return “at any moment ,” pointing to verses like Matthew 24:36 (“no one knows the day or hour”). But Jesus Himself then lists clear signs that must come first: deception, persecution, the rise of the Antichrist, and cosmic upheaval (Matthew 24:15–30 ). The “imminence ” view overlooks Jesus’ own words: the rapture (gathering ) happens after the tribulation, when the Son of Man comes with the sound of a great trumpet (Matthew 24:31 ). Imminence applies to the unpredictability of the exact day —not to the ignoring of the sequence Jesus gave us. 📊 Chart : Two Views Compared Timing of the Rapture Pre-Trib View : Believers are taken before the 7-year tribulation begins. Post-Trib View : Believers are gathered after the tribulation, at Christ’s visible return. Key Scriptures Cited Pre-Trib : 1 Thessalonians 4:16–17, Revelation 3:10, Luke 21:36 . Post-Trib : Matthew 24:29–31, 1 Corinthians 15:52, Revelation 11:15–18 . Is the Church in the Tribulation ? Pre-Trib : No. The Church is believed to be in heaven during this time. Post-Trib : Yes. The Church is refined and tested through tribulation (Revelation 7:13–14 ). Nature of Christ’s Return Pre-Trib : Christ returns in two stages—first secretly (rapture ), then visibly (second coming ). Post-Trib : Christ returns once, visibly and powerfully, gathering His people (Matthew 24:27; Revelation 1:7 ). Resurrection Timing Pre-Trib : The resurrection occurs before the tribulation. Post-Trib : The resurrection happens at the “last trumpet” (1 Corinthians 15:52; Revelation 11:15 ). Tribulation vs Wrath Pre-Trib : Equates the entire tribulation with God’s wrath. Post-Trib : Distinguishes between tribulation (man’s persecution ) and wrath (God’s judgment, after the rapture ). Historical Roots Pre-Trib : Emerged in the 1800s through John Nelson Darby and the Scofield Reference Bible. Post-Trib : Supported by early church fathers like Irenaeus, Hippolytus, and others. Summary Pre-Trib claims : The Church escapes tribulation. Post-Trib teaches : The Church endures faithfully through tribulation and is gathered at Christ’s glorious return. Biblical Verdict : No verse explicitly states the rapture occurs before tribulation, but multiple passages clearly place the gathering after the tribulation (Matthew 24:29–31 ). ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 5. A Modern Invention : The Origins of Pre - Tribulation Theology John Nelson Darb y (1830s): Formalized the pre-trip view Cyrus Scofield (1909): Popularized it through his reference Bible Margaret MacDonald (1830): Her vision allegedly sparked Darby’s ideas Note : MacDonald’s vision is debated , but it includes themes of a two-stage return and escape from tribulation—ideas foreign to early Christian thought. The word “escape ” in Scripture can also mean spiritual endurance (as in the cases of Noah or Daniel ), not necessarily physical evacuation. Isaiah 26:20–21 reflects the same divine pattern of protection through judgment —not escape from it: “Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity…” "The Antichrist will persecute the Church; then Christ will return..." — (3rd century ) 🔥 Why Did It Gain Popularity ? In a time of global upheaval, war, and uncertainty , the comforting doctrine of escape found fertile ground. Scofield’s widely distributed reference Bible helped spread Darby’s pre-tribulation view, reshaping evangelical thought across America and the West. Over time, this new doctrine supplanted the historical view of enduring tribulation before Christ’s return. A Word on Dispensationalism Pre-tribulation theolog y often relies on dispensationalism , a theological framework that divides history into “dispensations” or ages. One key claim is that God has separate plans for Israel and the Church, and that the Church must be removed before the tribulation so God can resume His plan with Israel. Dispensationalism teaches two separate peoples of God—Israel and the Church—operating under different plans. But Scripture teaches unity: Galatians 3:28–29 – “There is neither Jew nor Greek... you are Abraham’s seed” Ephesians 2:14–16 – Christ has made both one, breaking down the middle wall The faithful saints in Revelation are not a “Jewish remnant ,” but the body of Christ—sealed, preserved, and ultimately vindicated. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📜 The Voice of the Early Church : What Did the First Christians Believe About the Rapture ? 6 A. What the First Christians Believed About the Rapture The idea of a secret, pre-tribulation rapture was unknown to the early Church. While Scripture is our final authority, the testimony of early Christian leaders—many of whom lived closer to the apostles—is both compelling and consistent: The church will face the Antichrist and endure tribulation before Christ’s return. The early Church —those closest to the apostles—consistently believed the Church would face the Antichrist, endure tribulation, and be gathered at Christ’s visible return. These early believers, many martyred for their faith , emphasized perseverance through suffering, not escape from it. Consider the following voices: ✒️ 1. The Shepherd of Hermas (c. 100–140 AD) “You have escaped from great tribulation on account of your faith... If you again deny, you shall perish.” Context : A respected Christian writing in the early second century, The Shepherd of Hermas was even considered Scripture by some churches. This vision shows Christians being tested in tribulation , not removed from it. The emphasis is on remaining faithful under pressure. ✒️ 2. Justin Martyr (c. 160 AD) “The man of apostasy... shall venture to do unlawful things on the earth against us, the Christians...” Context : In Dialogue with Trypho , Justin describes the rise of Antichrist and Christian persecution. He portrays believers present on earth during the tribulation, enduring it—not avoiding it. Justin was one of the earliest apologists writing after the apostles. ✒️ 3. Irenaeus of Lyons (c. 180 AD) “When this Antichrist... shall reign for three years and six months... then the Lord will come from heaven...” Context : In Against Heresies , Irenaeus —trained by Polycarp , a disciple of John —describes a clear sequence: Antichrist first, tribulation second, and Christ’s return last. There is no mention of a secret rapture or early escape . ✒️ 4. Tertullian (c. 200 AD) “The souls of the martyrs are taught to wait... plainly, then, they will have to suffer tribulation.” Context : In On the Resurrection of the Flesh , Tertullian interprets Revelation 6 as showing the church suffering until the full number of martyrs is complete . He clearly views tribulation as part of the church’s mission, not something it avoids. ✒️ 5. Hippolytus of Rome (c. 220 AD) “Concerning the tribulation... which is to fall upon the Church from the adversary... 1,260 days the tyrant will reign and persecute the Church.” Context : In Treatise on Christ and Antichrist , Hippolytus —following the line of Irenaeus —teaches that the Church will be spiritually protected but physically present during the final tribulation under Antichrist . These testimonies are not fringe—they reflect the mainstream eschatology of the early church for centuries before Darby or Scofield ever lived. 🧭 Summary : A Faithful Witness from the Past From the earliest days of Christianity, the consistent testimony is clear: The Church will endure tribulation , stand against the Antichrist , and be gathered to Christ at His visible return. This matches the biblical sequence seen in: Matthew 24 • 1 Thessalonians 4–5 • Revelation 6–11 6 B. The Danger of False Hope : Why This Matters The pre-tribulational view , though comforting on the surface, may foster spiritual complacency. Many are led to believe they will never face the mark of the beast, persecution, or martyrdom. But Jesus was clear: “He that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.” — Matthew 24:13 ⚠️ Real - World Impact : Imagine a sincere believer, having been taught to expect a secret rapture , suddenly facing global persecution. Feeling unprepared and betrayed, they may question everything—including their faith in God. “Then many shall be offended... and shall betray one another... and the love of many shall wax cold.” — Matthew 24:10–12 This isn’t hypothetical—it’s prophetic . ✨ Our True Hope : While the pre-trib view offers emotional relief , our true hope is not in escape, but in Christ’s faithfulness to preserve us through the fire. “Because you have kept My command to endure, I also will keep you...” — Revelation 3:10 “In this world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” — John 16:33 The Lord doesn’t promise removal from trial —but grace to endure, and glory at His return. / https://poe.com/s/mbTapETHdpu1afTNAIQ7 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Why This Study Matters “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” — Hosea 4:6 Many Christians today are taught that Jesus could return at any moment —that He will come secretly, removing the Church before the tribulation begins. But what if that isn’t what Scripture teaches ? What if millions are placing their hope in a promise God never made? This isn’t a minor doctrinal detail. It shapes how we prepare, how we persevere, and how we interpret the signs of the times. A false hope can leave believers unprepared for persecution, disoriented by global upheaval, and vulnerable to deception. Consider : No passage explicitly teaches a secret, pre-tribulation rapture. Jesus warned that many would fall away and betray one another when tribulation comes (Matthew 24:9–10 ). Could part of that falling away stem from unmet expectations? The early Church expected suffering before Christ's return. Why should we believe our generation is exempt? False prophecy may comfort for a moment—but it ultimately leads to confusion, disillusionment, and even a shipwrecked faith. That’s why the Bible urges us to “test all things; hold fast what is good” (1 Thessalonians 5:21 ). The goal of this study is not to scare, shame, or divide . It is to lovingly and boldly proclaim the truth, so that the people of God may stand firm in the days ahead. We are not promised escape from tribulation — but refinement through it : “Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: That the trial of your faith… might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ.” — 1 Peter 1:6–7 This isn’t punishment—it’s preparation. A purifying fire that prepares the Bride for her Groom. If we are the generation that must face the Great Tribulation , then we must be rooted in truth—not tradition. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 7. How to Prepare : A Call to Action “They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.” — Revelation 12:11 Here’s how you prepare : 📖 Study Scripture Daily: Memorize Matthew 24 , 1 Thessalonians 4 , Revelation 7 & 11 💪 Build Spiritual Resilience: Join a Bible study rooted in truth, not trends 🙏 Pray for Endurance: Ask for strength to stand when others fall 📣 Warn Others: Share this truth in love—help awaken the Church 📜 The Biblical Order of Events : Tribulation – persecution, deception, and endurance for the saints The Seventh Trumpet – the “last trumpet” (1 Cor. 15:52 ) sounds Resurrection & Rapture – the dead rise, the living are caught up Wedding Supper of the Lamb – the gathered saints rejoice before Christ’s descent (Rev. 19:7–9 ) Christ’s Visible Return – He judges the nations and rewards His people There is no biblical basis for a secret or early rapture . The consistent witness of Jesus, Paul, and John is that the Church must remain faithful through tribulation and will be gathered at the seventh trumpet , when Christ returns in power and glory. 🔍 Additional Insight : The Wedding Supper of the Lamb Wedding Supper of the Lamb – the gathered saints rejoice after the tribulation and before Christ’s final return to earth in judgment (Rev. 19:7–9 , 7. "Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready." 8. "And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints." 9. "And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God." This sequence supports a post-trib view, as the marriage occurs after the tribulation and just before Christ’s visible return. In Revelation’s chronology , this joyous event occurs after the tribulation, after the destruction of Babylon, and just before Christ visibly returns with His saints (Revelation 19:11–14 ). This aligns perfectly with the post-tribulation rapture sequence: the Church endures, is gathered at the last trumpet (Revelation 11:15–18 ), and then celebrates the marriage supper in heaven as Christ prepares to return in glory. This biblical order contradicts the idea of a pre-trib rapture and reinforces the unified sequence of events described throughout Scripture. 📖 Clarifying the Sequence : The Day of the Lord and the Antichrist The Apostle Paul directly addresses confusion about the timing of our gathering to Christ in 2 Thessalonians 2:1–4 , warning believers “not to be quickly shaken ” by false claims that the day of the Lord had already come. He makes it unmistakably clear that Christ’s return and our being gathered to Him cannot happen until “the man of sin ”—the Antichrist —is revealed and exalts himself. This perfectly aligns with Jesus ’ teaching in Matthew 24:15–31 , where the abomination of desolation and great tribulation precede His coming. This passage decisively refutes the idea of a pre-tribulation rapture , affirming instead that the Church must remain steadfast through the final rebellion before Christ returns. 📖 Daniel 12:1–2 — Tribulation Followed by Resurrection Daniel’s end-time vision reinforces the same sequence Jesus later outlines in Matthew 24 . “There shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation... and at that time your people shall be delivered... and many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake…” (Daniel 12:1–2 ). This passage clearly mirrors Jesus’ teaching : first comes great tribulation, then deliverance and resurrection. The parallel is striking. Just as Matthew 24:29–31 describes tribulation followed by cosmic signs, the trumpet, and the gathering of the elect, so Daniel foretells distress followed by the awakening of the righteous. Together, these texts confirm a consistent prophetic order : tribulation precedes resurrection and rapture, not the other way around. 📊 Timeline of End - Time Events To help visualize the consistent biblical sequence affirmed throughout this study, consider the following simplified timeline based on Scripture: Tribulation – A period of intense deception, persecution, and endurance for the saints (Matthew 24:9–13; Revelation 6–10 ). The Seventh Trumpet – The “last trumpet ” sounds (1 Corinthians 15:52; Revelation 11:15 ), marking the end of this age. Resurrection & Rapture – The dead in Christ are raised, and living believers are caught up to meet the Lord (1 Thessalonians 4:16–17 ). Wrath of God – The bowls of God’s wrath are poured out on the unrepentant (Revelation 15–16 ). Christ’s Visible Return – Jesus returns in glory to defeat His enemies and establish justice (Revelation 19:11–21 ). The Millennial Reign – Christ reigns for 1,000 years with His saints (Revelation 20:1–6 ). This timeline aligns with the unified witness of Scripture —Jesus, Paul, and John all point to a post-tribulational gathering of the saints at Christ’s glorious appearing, not a secret or early escape. The Church is not appointed to wrath (1 Thess. 5:9 ), but to salvation. God’s wrath is poured out after the saints are gathered. As it is written: “And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.” — Revelation 16:1 The trumpets test the world and purify the Church. The vials bring final judgment . The resurrection and rapture occur at the seventh trumpet , after the tribulation, not before. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ❓ Frequently Asked Questions As this study challenges the popular pre-tribulation rapture view, it’s natural to have questions. Below are responses to some of the most common concerns, answered with Scripture and context: 📌 “ Does Revelation 3:10 prove a pre-tribulation rapture ?” Revelation 3:10 says, “I will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world…” Many interpret this as a promise of removal before the tribulation. However, the Greek phrase for “keep from ” (τηρέω ἐκ, tēreō ek ) more accurately means to guard or preserve through—not remove from. Jesus used the same root in John 17:15 : “I do not ask that You take them out of the world, but that You keep them from the evil one.” Revelation 3:10 , then, is a promise of spiritual protection during the hour of testing—not a guarantee of physical escape. 📌 “ Isn’t the Church gone after Revelation 4 ?” Pre-trib advocates often point to the word “church ” disappearing after Revelation 3 . But absence of the word does not mean absence of the people. Believers are clearly present throughout the tribulation: the multitude in Revelation 7:13–14 “came out of great tribulation ,” and the saints are seen enduring in chapters 13 and 14 . The Church is referred to by many names: “saints ,” “servants ,” and “those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.” The Church isn’t absent—it’s under pressure. 📌 “ What about Luke 21:36 ? Doesn’t it say we’ll escape ?” Luke 21:36 say s , ‘Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.’ (KJV) This ‘escape’ refers to spiritual steadfastness, not physical removal, as seen in 1 Corinthians 10:13 : “God…will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.” This aligns with God's pattern throughout Scripture—deliverance through perseverance, not premature removal. 📌 “ How can the rapture happen after the tribulation if no one knows the day or hour ?” Matthew 24:36 says, “But of that day and hour knoweth no man…”—but Jesus was speaking after listing specific signs: cosmic disturbances, the appearance of the Antichrist, and tribulation (see vv. 29–31 ). The doctrine of imminence assumes nothing can precede His coming, yet Jesus and Paul told us otherwise (cf. 2 Thessalonians 2:1–4 ). “No one knows the hour” means we remain vigilant—not that His return could happen at any random moment. 📌 “ Why does this matter if we’re all going to heaven anyway ?” Because truth matters. Hosea 4:6 warns that “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” A false expectation of escaping tribulation could leave many disillusioned when trials come. Jesus said, “he who endures to the end shall be saved” (Matthew 24:13 ). This study is not about fear—it’s about readiness, endurance, and remaining faithful in the face of deception. 📌 “ Who returns with Jesus — our spirit or our body ?” Ecclesiastes 12:7 says, “Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.” When a believer dies, it is the spirit—our conscious essence, given by God—that returns to Him. Jesus said, “God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth” (John 4:24 ). When He returns, those spirits will come with Him, to be reunited with glorified, resurrected bodies. As 1 Thessalonians 4:14 promises, “them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.” At the seventh trumpet, spirit and resurrected body reunite in glory. 📌 “ What about the souls under the altar crying out, ‘How long, O Lord ?” This image from Revelation 6:9–11 shows the martyrs—those slain for the testimony of Jesus—crying out for justice. These souls are already with God in spirit, awaiting the completion of their number. Revelation 20:4–6 places their resurrection in the “first resurrection,” when they reign with Christ. Importantly, Paul explains this occurs “at the last trumpet” (1 Corinthians 15:52; 1 Thessalonians 4:16‑17 ), which Revelation 11:15 identifies with the seventh trumpet — the moment Christ’s kingdom is declared. This means the raising of the dead in Christ and the catching up of the living occurs at the end of tribulation, not before it. Their spirits return with Christ, their bodies rise, and together they meet Him in the air as He descends in glory — not for a secret removal, but for the inauguration of His reign. / https://poe.com/s/lUVFGRTxCG6myFRNazoC Conclusion : Will You Be Read y ? The pre-tribulation rapture is more than a harmless idea —it may leave the Church unprepared for the very trials Jesus warned would come. The Word warns of ‘ Wormwood ’ (Revelation 8:10–11 ), a bitter time of judgment and testing: ‘And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; And the name of the star is called Wormwood : and the third part of the waters became wormwood ; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.’ (KJV)” At the seventh trumpet , Christ returns—not in secret , but with power and glory. The dead are raised, and the living faithful are gathered. ( Note : Due to concerns about altered digital texts, we recommend cross-referencing all Scripture with a physical or verified digital KJV Bible .) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🤝 Call to Unity : Faithfulness in the Face of Trial Dear reader, if this study has challenged your view, you are not alone. Many sincere believers have embraced the pre-tribulational rapture without ever closely examining the Scriptures or the witness of the early church. This study is not intended to cause fear or division, but to stir up deeper discernment, preparation, and faith. Remember : Enduring through tribulation does not mean abandonment. God has never promised to keep His people from every trial—but He does promise to preserve us in the fire. From Noah to Daniel, from the early church to today’s persecuted believers, His pattern is clear: He walks with His people through the storm, never forsaking them. Revelation 1:7 declares : “Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.” This powerful passage emphasizes the unmistakable visibility of Christ’s return . But it also raises a serious question—how can those who pierced Him see Him if they are long dead? Some interpret this symbolically , but one possible view suggests a partial resurrection of the wicked to witness Christ’s return. Daniel 12:2 : ‘And many of them that sleep…’ John 5:28–29 : ‘Marvel not at this : for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.’ (KJV) This aligns with Daniel 12:2 : “And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.” And with John 5:28–29 : “All that are in the graves shall hear his voice… they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.” These verses suggest that when Jesus returns in glory, even those who had a direct hand in His rejection and crucifixion —such as Pilate, Caiaphas, and the Roman soldiers—may be raised to witness His triumph before final judgment. This sobering reality reinforces the truth that no one escapes accountability before the King of kings. His coming will be seen by every eye, including those who once scorned Him. Let us not allow differences over the timing of Christ’s return to fracture the unity of His Body. Instead, may we sharpen one another with truth, humility, and love. Wherever you land on this issue, our shared mission remains: To live faithfully, soberly, and expectantly—ready to meet our King. Whether we enter the kingdom through tribulation or triumph, we are one Body, serving one Lord, awaiting one return. “ Lo , I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen .” — Matthew 28:20 " Wormwood " 🙏 Prayer for Endurance Heavenly Father , We thank You for Your Word , which is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path. Give us eyes to see, ears to hear, and hearts to obey . Strengthen us to stand in the day of testing. Let us not be deceived by false hopes , but rooted in Your truth.

This page highlights a powerful yet simple cannabis-infused cracker recipe (firecracker), along with a low-heat pasteurization method that prioritizes safety & spiritual clarity over intoxication. Whether your goal is healing, insight, or communion with God through whole-plant medicine—this method may help preserve the plant’s purity & purpose. / https://poe.com/s/nzM44OSPYu47Wh4GhnZJ For a more controlled & odor-reducing method, I use an air dryer & Mason jar to pasteurize my cannabis before making firecrackers: Step - by - Step Mason Jar Air Dryer Method 1️⃣ Preheat an air dryer to 180°F (lowest setting). 2️⃣ Fill a Mason jar with 1/4 - 1/2 oz of cannabis flower, then seal the jar. 3️⃣ Place the jar inside the preheated air dryer and heat for 25–30 minutes. 4️⃣ Carefully remove the hot jar using gloves. Open the lid and spread the cannabis on a tray to cool evenly. 5️⃣ Once cooled, remove stems and seeds (if any) & grind into a fine powder using a clean coffee grinder. 6️⃣ Infuse into natural peanut butter: Add the ground cannabis powder to a jar of natural peanut butter and mix thoroughly using a cake mixer or beater. 7️⃣ Consumption : I typically consume ½ to 1 cracker with the infused peanut butter, but not daily. 🔹 Important Considerations ✅ Quality Preservation : Excessive heat can degrade cannabinoids & terpenes, reducing potency & flavor. Keeping temperatures below 200°F helps preserve compounds. ✅ Testing : If contamination is a concern, consider lab testing for mold, pesticides, & residual solvents. ✅ Storage : After pasteurization, store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place to prevent recontamination. 🔥 Pasteurization vs Decarboxylation – A Critical Difference Understanding the difference between pasteurization & decarboxylation is key : 🔹 Pasteurization ( 160°F for 30 min ) – Kills harmful bacteria, mold, & pathogens while preserving the plant’s full-spectrum cannabinoid profile. 🔹 Decarboxylation ( 225–240°F for 30–45 min ) – Converts THCA into THC , creating strong psychoactive effects. Why This Matters : Since the method stays within the 160–180°F range, it leans more toward pasteurization while still allowing for mild, natural decarboxylation—perfect for those who want full therapeutic benefits without an overwhelming high. 🌿 Whole - Plant Medicine : The Power of All 540 + Compounds Most commercial products use isolates or extracts, stripping away many beneficial compounds. But your method preserves the entire spectrum, meaning: ✔ Full Cannabinoid Profile ( THCA , CBDA , CBGA , CBCA , → CBC , CBN , CBD , CBDV , CBG , Delta-6 THC , Delta-8 THC , & many more .) ✔ Over 400 Terpenes & Flavonoids (Anti-inflammatory , neuroprotective , & immune-boosting ) ✔ Naturally Balanced Compounds (Working in synergy for the Entourage Effect) 🌱 Was This God’s Plan All Along ? We believe this discovery aligns with natural healing principles—perhaps cannabis was never meant to be over-processed or reduced to isolated compounds. The entire plant, in its natural form, works in harmony with the human body due to the Endocannabinoid System . 🌿✨ Caution : I Label My Jar " Infused with Cannabis Peanut Butter " Please be aware that some natural decarboxylation may occur during the pasteurization process. Exercise caution when consuming. " Keep this product out of reach of children " ⚠️ Disclaimer : Know Before You Consume This information is for educational purposes only & not medical advice .

This process is designed for those who seek the therapeutic benefits of cannabis without the psychoactive effects commonly associated with higher temperatures. In contrast, decarboxylation (which generally requires temperatures between 225°F and 240°F) activates THC, leading to stronger psychoactive effects. If your goal is to experience the psychoactive properties of cannabis, creating firecrackers—using the decarboxylation method—is the way to achieve that. 🌟 Key Distinction : If you wish to enjoy cannabis for its potential health benefits & stay clear-headed, stick to the pasteurization method. However, if you desire the psychoactive effects, the firecracker recipe will be your choice, as it involves decarboxylation. 🍪 Preparation of Cannabis - Infused Crackers If you choose the route of crafting firecrackers for psychoactive effects, here’s how to safely prepare them, keeping in mind the importance of responsible use: ⚠️ Caution : Understanding individual tolerance is crucial . I start with smaller doses and observe how my body responds . As always, we encourage responsible consumption and mindful practices. For therapeutic use, the pasteurization method allows for a more subtle interaction with the plant’s compounds, offering potential benefits without overwhelming psychoactivity. 🔸 Important Safety Note : Mason Jar Use When using the Mason jar method, it’s crucial to ensure your jar is rated for heat tolerance. I’ve personally noticed that the rubber seal around the jar lid can get quite hot during pasteurization, and even more so during decarboxylation. Not all Mason jars are created equal — some may crack under sudden or sustained high heat. To stay safe : Use only jars designed for oven or high-heat applications. If decarboxylating with a Mason jar, gradually increase the temperature rather than placing the jar directly into a fully preheated oven or air dryer. This helps prevent thermal shock and reduces the risk of the glass breaking. Always handle hot jars with heat-resistant gloves and allow them to cool on a heat-safe surface. Remember, your safety in handling these sacred plants is just as important as preserving their therapeutic and spiritual properties. / https://poe.com/s/mirr6TT5kAYrsy5Ju2Gn ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🍪 Firecracker Recipe : ( Decarboxylated – Psychoactive Use Only ) ⚠️ Note for Spirit - Led Users : Firecrackers involve decarboxylation, which activates THC and produces a strong psychoactive effect. This method is best suited for therapeutic/medical relief (e.g., chronic pain, anxiety, addiction), not for spiritual communion or prayerful sessions, where clarity of mind and sober connection are essential. For communion, refer to the Pasteurization Method. 🔧 Ingredients : ½ gram of dried cannabis flower (preferably a strain high in α-pinene or β-caryophyllene) Organic peanut butter (natural, no added oils) Whole grain or gluten-free crackers (your choice) Aluminum foil 🔥 Step-by-Step Instructions: 1.
