Mark 13:19-23

Mark 13:19 For those will be days of tribulation unmatched from the beginning of God’s creation until now, and never to be seen again. 20 If the Lord had not cut short those days, nobody would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, whom He has chosen, He has cut them short. 21 At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There He is!’ do not believe it. 22 For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform signs and wonders that would deceive even the elect, if that were possible. 23 So be on your guard; I have told you everything in advance.

Mark 13:19-23 refers to time speeding up, and factors involved. Sometimes, the speeding up brings greater challenges – metaphorically like when a woman’s contractions increase when she is giving birth to a new baby.

If anyone seeks to understand how some Biblical prophecy phrases can apply to current life circumstances, we can look at Mark 13:19-23 which I refer to above. These passages have been considered relevant to different times in history. But they distinctly are yet worth considering for this time period. It is said and written to stay alert. Considering these verses for this time period is an example of how we can stay alert.

Mark 13:19 For those will be days of tribulation unmatched from the beginning of God’s creation until now, and never to be seen again.
This could be referring to a summation of quite a few moments in the 20th and 21st centuries. WW2, with 16 million people murdered by Nazis, the use of 2 nuclear weapons, the attacks of the WTC buildings, the mass extinctions of Mao Tse-tung and Soviet Russia, the Khmer Rouge of Pol Pot, the spread of Covid, the Indonesian Tsunami as well as the current wars – all of these added together make up massive millions killed. This is the most recent generations’ showing of man’s ability to massively destroy the planet and end millions of people’s lives in a short time span. These events are the “days of tribulation”. We’re in the middle of the current situation in US politics, Asian politics, Middle East politics, and still 5 more years of the darker energies yet to find channels to manifest.

In the Macrocosm, the Big Picture, for the Earth, humanity and life on this planet, this can point to the ongoing problems and difficulties in the Earth at this extremely important time – the ending of a particular Age of Man, and the beginning of a higher spiritual/vibrational level Age of Man which is yet to be engaged and built through our acts of loving kindness et al. So much of this darker energy was set in motion during the thousands of years of Atlantean times of factions of their military’s effort to attack, then control vast areas of the whole planet. And then, the violent histories throughout time with humanity following the same pattern since then, as well.

The ending of our current Age of Man is the time period engraved inside the design of the Pyramid of Giza. This is according to *the Edgar Cayce Psychic Readings* and my readings revealing the information supporting the validity and accuracy of Cayce’s – I saw confirmation via the psychic information revelations I saw in the Akashic Records.

But, Mark 13:19 also addresses the microcosm of individual lives. This is true of individual tribulation events (if karma takes an individual-focused form when manifesting) based on this or any type of darker karmic energy. This energy, once it has washed through in a person’s life, will not return. It is done and finished, having played itself out. Other karmic manifestations can occur but the one just expressed is gone. However, if someone seeks revenge or continues in destructive ways, then new karma can be set in motion.

“unmatched from the beginning of God’s creation until now,” – This time period, now, is a serious time locally and globally, and a time to recognize that our neighbor is in need of help at times, the person across from us is in need of some help at times. And we also are in need of help at times – perhaps in a very big way.

Yet, being blind to helping is very easy. In the 1930’s and 1940’s, the people of Nazi Germany did, in fact, claim they had no idea of the death camps just down the road from the towns, villages, and cities where they lived. That’s how easy it is to “not see” suffering, or for someone else to “not see” our suffering.

This can happen when we think we cannot help, but even prayers are a way of helping. Donating $3 to the local community or 1 day a month of volunteer work. It may seem to be not much, but it isn’t “not much” to those who need help. Reminder: Every human has been helped many times throughout our lives. Every soul has been helped. None of us would be where we are in life, if someone had not helped us and helped by someone who we will never know that they helped us. This is true of prayer, too. We are where we are in life, and not worse, because we have been prayed for – by others who we will never know, . . . except for the help from the prayers of Jesus Christ for us. When I did the reading to see several impending hurricanes in 2006, and then the hurricanes never happened, I psychically looked to see how I missed this when I had felt high confidence. That is when I saw millions of prayers coming from Utah after hurricane Katrina for the Gulf Coast, and that these millions of prayers brought forth Christ’s protection throughout 2006 and half of 2007.

We are the ones that need help and that give help. We are the wounded healers.

We’ve been witness now to the levels of destruction and chaos happening globally from wars, natural disasters, political decisions, and many other events. The potential for even greater levels of destruction is still hanging over us like a guillotine. The entire planet is being affected by global warming. Our current wars are continuing, if what I see comes true, with some increasing of the wars by those who are yet to become involved, as well as political acts meant and destined to bring harm. But, except for the work so many have been doing for decades – prayer, meditation, and the like, things would be worse. In one reading early in this the 2000 decade, I saw that the Middle East would be explosive except for the monks of Tibet sending prayers for the region, and praying constantly for them, helping to keep things from boiling over. The current events point to more prayers being needed still.

***

We make it through – when the time comes – by becoming part of our own local community helping networks. On the community level is where practical help is needed and practical help is found. In addition, our prayers, both individually and in groups, are able to save many.

I’ve been touting local help from others and locally helping others for years, and now this time period is upon us. Humanity will not escape the pain and suffering. In the US, there will be little help from the Federal government.

Mark 13:20 If the Lord had not cut short those days, nobody would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, whom He has chosen, He has cut them short.

For this time period, 20th to the 21st centuries, there is important relevance – it is the reference to our ending one Age of Man and beginning another. This speeding up happens sometimes when greater prayers, meditations and higher vibrations are brought forth into the physical realm as a response to calls for spiritual help. The energy of the prayers, meditations and spiritual efforts by human beings, – all of these being at higher rates of vibration,

—-(based on the very real vibration of The Infinite Spirit of Love, Kindness and Compassion (God) and it being the very real foundation of existence, and therefore within these spiritual efforts – so based- and the energy of the Consciousness of Absolute Love being the highest vibration,)

—- has an impact on the darker energies in the same way that increasing Light has an impact on the darkness within caves – the light of the sun (Light of the Son) being the greatest impact on the darkness within caves (and the dark holes) of our consciousnesses and within our life circumstances while in the Earth. The elect are those who choose to continue to work at staying on one’s spiritual path – having faith, showing mercy, trusting God, extending kindness, being patient, and listening for and cooperating with the Infinite Love of God…. and … picking oneself up, dusting oneself off and starting again when stumbling.

21 At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There He is!’ do not believe it.
We have seen many examples of Christ’s name and image being used to create political influence and advantage in the last many years, sending the message “Jesus is on our side”. One image/phrase among the many, many that jumped out was “Jesus, Guns, Babies”. It is as if it is being said, “Here is Christ with us supporting this candidate, supporting our desire for guns, and supporting our political platform.” Many have wondered, including myself, if they have any idea who He is – the very presence of unending Love in human form.

There has been push-back for the use of these images and instances. The push-back and remarks have been to question Christianity and Christians who use these images and phrases for their own political advantage in order to gain influence over voters – presenting themselves – those who display these instances – as if these were people who have deep beliefs as followers of Christ. However, I suspect they did not get permission from Him to use His name or His image. I suspect they did not discuss with Him their reliance on guns – like the Zealots of 2000 years ago, of whom Judas was one, who put their trust in their swords.

At the same time, I have observed that Donald Trump is on Youtube, saying that he, himself is the Chosen One during a press conference during his first term. Yes, Trump has been chosen by the voters in 2016 and 2024. When Pontius Pilate let the voters choose 2000 years ago, Barabbas was chosen. Sometimes, who wins is not a winner.

These are my visions, observations and deductions. When I pray for all life, I include ALL LIFE, including those who I disagree with. Those of you who are Trump supporters have observed and deduced your own, as well, for yourselves. For those who don’t know this, we are on the Earth, to help those who are stuck in the Earth – to help them get unstuck (and ourselves when we’ve gotten ourselves stuck). We are not here to ignore or reject others or overpower, but to work for All human life and all life that exists. The evolution includes all souls, and this includes our working with and responding to the needs of all souls. We can do this by walking and practicing our spiritual path.

22 For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform signs and wonders that would deceive even the elect, if that were possible.
It is not signs and wonders and skill at leading voters in a particular chant or mindset, in order to influence voters, which gives witness to the Christ, but rather that which is within the heart of the individual. Outward situations and circumstances which appear to be signs from God, are for people who seek signs rather than to look within one’s own heart, to pray for wisdom, discernment, greater capacity to love, and understanding. God alone knows what is in a soul’s heart and whether we are sincere in our seeking God and God’s guidance and presence.

People who seek to love God above all else and love their neighbor as themselves – these people who work at the inner challenges of being a follower of Christ – who seek to work within oneself, to love, to show mercy, to be patient, long-suffering, bestow kindness, and even gentleness, tolerance and meekness, these people are the ones who seek to follow the inner Christ by making these qualities real inside their actions, their heart and in their relationships. The outer signs and wonders can be reproduced on demand, but the inner work of loving, forgiving or trying to be understanding of our brothers and sisters, brings with it an awareness of the deeper, and inner aspects of the real teachings of Christ. The inner work allows our witnessing of the Christ’s love from within our own hearts and being fully aware of this love being from the Source of Infinite Love.

These deeper aspects do not come from the outer world’s signs and wonders, but only feeling love and kindness for each other. (And mercy and forgiveness, too, for those we love, and with our willingness to give to them the eternity they need to find their way through the difficult ways of walking the razor’s edge of one’s spiritual path, which all souls will traverse, even when that path is unknown, unseen and unrecognized.)

The ‘elect’ referred to in Mark 13:22, are those who are the heart-centered followers of Christ – those who learn that Christ teaches love and, who, in turn, then know the Christ within their hearts through their love, now, and within the love that each gives to God and others. As Jesus said, “I know mine, and mine know me.” This is through knowing love and knowing loving.

23 So be on your guard; I have told you everything in advance.
It is necessary to be alert to the workings of Spirit. This can only come from praying for guidance, praying for the will to be honest with ourselves, praying for discernment, praying for insight and wisdom, and praying to be taught the truth. When we pray to be, and are alert to the workings of Spirit, we will then begin to recognize Spirit being active in our lives, and even in seeking to teach us more through many ways – and not all of these ways being tradition or the same as they always have been. For us to be alert, to the workings of Spirit, we must also have an open mind and an open heart, because the closed heart and the closed mind are not ready for the workings of Spirit. Within our learning, we need to be willing. God sees into our hearts deeper than even we do ourselves, and knows if we’re willing or not willing, and will never force learning onto someone who is not willing to learn (of which there are many.)

It is necessary to be alert to the state of our own mind and our own heart. It is here that we will come to learn and become aware of both the coming arrival, as well as the “I am always with you” presence – of the eternal Light of God.

May God be with us, and bless us, Everyone.
