Still I Will Praise You… (Genesis 49:8-12) [07/29/2020]

Hi, guys! Sorry I haven’t released any notes the last few weeks; I’ve just been trying to enjoy what good there is left… there’s a weird idea being pushed around so much about a “coin shortage” from the U.S. Federal Reserve… personally, though, I don’t believe there’s any shortage of coins; it’s just a gateway to the mark of the beast nonsense we were warned about. But the good news is, I don’t discount this pandemic as any nonsense. I thought the Fourth of July party a few weeks ago was surely at risk of being cancelled because of this, and the fact there’s more and more cases every day, but it was still on, and it did not disappoint. Everything went right, saw a bunch of fireworks, had good conversations with the neighbours, played Mario Kart 64 at the friend’s house we were at (however few of us there were — side note: you should get an N64 and a copy of the game; that’s what I want to do), and we even played some Uno at the end of the night. It was worth requesting the day off for.

Anyway, this passage is found in page 30 of my NKJV Bible, page 39 of my NASB Bible (Old Testament), page 67 of my VOICE copy, and pages 64-65 of my Amplified Bible (Classic Edition) copy, so I’ll say that praise is still good even in the craziest of times. It certainly isn’t any Roman invasion that’s happening, but it might as well be, for friends are quitting their jobs at my Fry’s store due to what they saw on the news, my own family believes the RFID chip crap is actually beneficial (it’ll send you to Hell) — I pray my niece and her siblings never believe this, for my brother and I don’t impose our beliefs on them (he’s also expecting a new baby on January 30th next year, so I’m pretty happy to meet them 😁😁😁😁😁 he does know I can’t raise a college fund lofty enough for ten years for each of them, though, but who can on his or her budget, honestly?) — by the way, that’s a different news story than what I heard about today… a train de-railed itself as it was crossing Tempe Town Lake this morning, then the bridge collapsed, and it caught fire! At least it wasn’t the light rail train, though; that would have been a tragedy 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I pray such things are averted, though. But imagine this: this story is so crazy that it made it onto dailymail.co.uk! It’s also the only bridge that goes between Phoenix and Tempe by freight train, so it’ll have to take a pretty long detour to the north if it comes from L.A. or San Diego, but thankfully, there might be a good shortcut that passes Phoenix that follows a road deviating from Interstate 8 in Gila Bend. Regardless, that railroad passes through northern Mexico, I think, so I imagine it might be difficult for those trying to get through the endorheic basin that covers most of Nevada, going from the Gulf of California near Rocky Point. There shouldn’t be any travel restrictions, yet many people believe travel is the enemy. I actually think it’s the devil himself, as the Bible says. The craziest part is that I’m in the U.S.; I wonder how my friend, Alex, in Bali, feels right now… but the good news is, if it were easy for me to get there, I’d seriously book a two to three-week stay there. I don’t know where I’d reserve a room, but I don’t want to sleep with any women, for I’ll definitely be prone to stumble… wow, I got REALLY off-topic, I’m sorry, guys… but for real, praise should be a weapon to use against the forces of darkness instead of offensive comments that can’t be considered dank memes. A side note: when you see a dank meme that has no mature or offensive content; that’s really funny 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I can’t wait until I see Jesus in person in Heaven, when all this is over, and it will be… soon. But Jacob was bestowing the birthright blessing on Judah to prophesy about Jesus’ coming from him. It’s no coincidence that Judah is noteworthy for many milestones in the Old Testament, even the interesting enigma of Jerusalem being its capital and the center of the world (Ezekiel 5:5).

I don’t want to forget the Scriptures, like, ever, and I honestly wish I saw more godly moments happen. But there’s some good news here: some of my friends at work don’t believe there’s a coin shortage, either — I can even see revival happening at my work still, but it probably won’t be long until Christ is forced out completely, because I hate seeing drama there. I won’t even bother telling you what I’ve seen… but Isaiah 63:1-3, Numbers 24:17, and Revelation 5:5 and 19:11-16 are referenced in the Amplified Bible (Classic Edition) here. I don’t know why Jacob said Judah’s eyes were darker than wine… brown or black eyes, perhaps? But this interesting to think about.

Have any prayer requests? Drop ’em in my e-mail: ron.outland4727@gmail.com! I hope you can share this with your friends, and if I see a good request, I’ll write them down and tape them to my bedroom walls! I’ll see you in the next post where we discuss the next several sons of Israel and what he says to them! Ciao!
