Hello, friends, I’m back with another post! I believe I should write a little about how burials are a result of sin in the world because we make mistakes all the time (James 3:2). We need to remember how sin can literally take away another human’s life is we’re not careful; pray you don’t do this, especially on purpose! I know I don’t want to be responsible for anyone’s death… but so far, this has never happened to me before — I still don’t want to risk anything, though. I don’t think we can be super-meticulous about it because we’ll go in a ridiculous direction should we choose that route, chances are… probably like 99% of the time, at least. But it doesn’t matter because accusers are watching us to see how badly we’ll screw up, and when they’re the ones who start the scenario for the drama to happen, even then we get blamed, as if we were the worse criminals than the godless freaks who love to watch the world burn. I don’t even have a criminal record, but I don’t want to be in trouble anyway. Oh, sorry, I went off-topic, but this passage is found in page 31 of my NKJV Bible, page 40 of my NASB Bible, page 68 of my VOICE copy, and page 66 of my Amplified Bible (Classic Edition) copy. But still, I was going to comment a bit on Jacob’s burial, so here goes nothing… better safe than sorry…

Jacob was just getting really old in those days (oh, I keep forgetting, he lived to be 147; see Genesis 47:28), so unfortunately, because Jesus wasn’t going to appear for a long time, and with God’s declaration of human life being 120 years maximum after the flood (see Genesis 6-8), he left this world to sleep with his ancestors, but at least Jesus spoke of him being in His kingdom (Matthew 8:11), so I’m like, “Thank God!” He must’ve repented from all his sins after Joseph was taken into slavery. Oh, after this note, I’ll write about the final verses of this book about how Joseph forgave his brothers, since they wanted to preserve him. And in the end, the tribes got along pretty well. This set the stage for future events among Jacob’s descendants. But anyway, I wish forgiveness meant anything to my mom, for she’s still inappropriate as ever… I pray she doesn’t do any harm to anyone… but we don’t know how unpredictable many people can be. The worldly system is so unforgiving and exaggerates the truth about literally everything, while downplaying the promises of God so that I’d have a hard time finding anything to hear from Him. Still, I might hear something edifying tonight at Awaken, but I’m not expecting anything to be any good. I feel like I’ll hear nothing but difficult messages from now on, actually… why do we live if God doesn’t encourage every once in a while? I know He does, but I’ve become convinced that not even the good churches are edifying the people all the time… I don’t know 😢 I pray I might hear something from the Holy Spirit tonight when Awaken starts… but one thing I know, God’s been faithful before due to the prophetic command fulfilled here (Genesis 50:7-8) — it was a huge gathering! (See Genesis 50:9.) I pray for God’s faithfulness to be displayed here…

If you have any other prayer requests, you can leave them in my e-mail: ron.outland4727@gmail.com! I’ll read each one, write them down, then tape them to my bedroom walls! (I need to remember to check my e-mail…) I’ll be back with the last part of the book soon! Later!

I wish I could say I do this often, but then I’d be delusional, for I can’t leave town very frequently. I would’ve gone to Sedona last month for a hike, but I couldn’t get that day off 😭😭😭😭😭 however, I was able to go to Prescott (a city in northern Arizona) for a retreat with Awaken this weekend, so I enjoyed everything there. I had trouble with the messages, but I guess Jesus hadn’t spoken through the main speaker to me much, if at all. But I was able to hear Him through some friends, and now I know I don’t need to pay attention to divisive things, and that when someone uses Scripture as a weapon, it’s a thing from the flesh instead of the Holy Spirit. Oh, normally, I write a note on a Bible passage here, but I feel led by the Holy Spirit to take it easy like I did in Prescott this weekend. Still, I feel it necessary to say I don’t think it’ll be easy to focus if the peace of the Holy Spirit is never mentioned in anything… the speaker came from a place where things were rough, but while many people in the churches comment on the West Coast and how chaotic it is there, I feel the need to say this: why aren’t there many people from most other places praying for them? This isn’t the U.S. I can take pleasure in… oh, I’d go out of town more often, I just don’t want to get in trouble at work, and I’m sick and tired of getting too few hours there, but don’t worry about it, for I can sell books online. Maybe I can make a good revenue from it? I pray for the Holy Spirit’s blessing on this! Oh, anyway, you know how the speakers too often mention persecution? What if most of them are trying to spoil the fun? That’s something to think about. But I’ll see you later, sorry I didn’t bring up any Bible passages here; I just figured I’d instead write on how this weekend’s trip went. But if we’re honest, I’d like to get away for recreational purposes (not by smoking weed, come on, I mean I’d simply enjoy the area) more often because I can’t seem to find the right content for me to enjoy when I go on a church trip these days. Ok, now I’m done talking… see ya!

First off, I wish I could take another day off tomorrow, but that won’t happen because it’s an 8-hour shift, and I shouldn’t miss it this time, even if I get sick. At least it’s not so hot in the morning, though 😌 and we don’t need to sanitize carts anymore, so that’s also a huge plus! (I work at the Fry’s store at Gilbert and Baseline still.) I do wish this hot weather would cease, however 🥵🥵🥵🥴🤪 — yep, I could lose my mind if the 110° weather extended some time into October… it’s fall, dude! Hot weather shouldn’t continue on like this! I’d like to know why this is happening… but anyway, there’s my rant about the unfair temperatures we’re currently experiencing. In this final chapter of Genesis, Joseph mourns for Jacob big time (I should mention that Jacob had received Jesus by the time he died, for Jesus says we’ll see him in Matthew 8:11), but the Egyptians find out about this, and thankfully, they allow him to mourn for his late father. I know I’m still not thrilled about my own dad passing away… I prefer not to talk about it, actually… I wish I had more time with him. We don’t know why he went… but anyone who receives Jesus will never be gone for good ✝ = 💖 and Joseph and his brothers carry Jacob’s remains to Canaan, and some time later, they start to live in fear of Joseph, wondering if he had held some sort of grudge against them for what they did 13 chapters ago. Thank God he forgave them, seeing that they saved the earth (Genesis 50:20), but to mention anything about sovereignty in relation to this I don’t think should be allowed under heaven. I’ll elaborate why when we get there, but this chapter is found in page 31 of my NKJV Bible, page 40 of my NASB Bible, pages 68-69 of my VOICE copy, and pages 66-67 of my Amplified Bible (Classic Edition) copy.

I don’t know what else to say about this, but I want to be more up-to-date on here. I think I should share this with like seven friends… I dunno. But if you want, you can send me a prayer request by e-mail: ron.outland4727@gmail.com! I’ll read each letter, write them down, then tape them to my bedroom walls! I think I need to find if the student loan company I’m working with has taken care of my lack of funds yet… but I’ll see you in the next post where I write about verses 1-14!

Hi, friends, I don’t have much to say on this so I’ll keep it brief on here for now… but first, I’ll mention that I want to get excited about Jesus and what He’s doing; it’s just that politics is trying to override Him as if He was created by the system. Weird, huh? I do have a color-changing light bulb in my room, though, and I got it in the mail today, and I love it! I wonder how the neighbors will react if enough of them see this… I probably won’t have anyone coming to my house and saying it’s a really cool trick 😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣 but I’m still cracking up about how the weird leader of the U.S. eats pizza backwards 😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😅😆🤦🏼‍♂️ I hate it a lot 😄😅😆🤷🏼‍♂️💁🏼‍♂️ I’m sure Italy thinks this is ridiculous, and I completely agree with everyone there. Eat it from the tip of the slice, guys! I’m sure you can incur God’s wrath if you do it like this 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 no, I’m kidding, but seriously, leadership here is stupid, and we need Jesus to take over. Unbelief is ridiculously high, but the good news is, so is stability in the U.S. Watch Zimbax’s latest video about some interesting things you can learn about countries all over the world! (He’s an Estonian Youtuber, and I love him!) All random tidbits aside, this passage can be found in page 31 of my NKJV Bible, pages 39-40 of my NASB Bible, page 68 of my VOICE copy, and pages 65-66 of my Amplified Bible (Classic Edition) copy.

The Val Vista Fry’s store got shut down this week near my house, but a new one like next door to me opened the next day. Jonathan and I went there, and we loved it! Jesus mentioned that if a grain died, it bears a harvest (John 12:24). But if a human died, there they lie until he/she gets a burial. Some people don’t get a chance to have their remains buried properly, which is not good. But death always happens because of sin in the world (see Romans 8:10). Remember also that Jacob lived to be 147 (Genesis 47:28). At least everything went according to plan about his burial, for God instructed Jacob’s descendants to bury him in the land of Canaan (now the nation of Israel), and He did the same about Joseph’s remains (now found in Hebrews 11:22; read the final chapter of Genesis for this).

Before I finish this note, I’d like to ask: how has an ancestor’s passing affected you? I know my dad passing away at 55 wasn’t good, and I was homeless twice as a result, kind of, but I’m glad no one else perished since then. I’m not looking forward to the next one, though… I wish my relatives would accept Jesus so that maybe they can make it to the Rapture! But I can’t expect them to… but leave a comment about your own story here on this website. In the meantime, if you want me to pray about anything, you can write an e-mail on ron.outland4727@gmail.com so I would know about it. Sorry I don’t often check my e-mail: I’m pretty much not good at double-checking stuff 😂😂😂😂😂 but anyway, I’ll read each letter, write down the prayer (if it’s good), then tape them to my bedroom walls! I’ll see you in the final chapter of this book! Bye!

I think it’s great that Jacob’s blessing on Joseph had just as many verses as when he was blessing Judah (verses 8-12)! Bible scholars have concluded from here that they would be heads of two different nations: Israel and Judah (read 1 & 2 Kings for how this transpired). This goes in line from what God had said to Abraham in that he’d be the father of many nations (see Genesis 17:6). And look! We have, like, ten different nations in the Middle East today, none of which would have been possible without Abraham, for God prophesied that he would bear this legacy. People still talk about it today. I doubt any of us can be fathers of many nations today, though, since we’re in the end times season, and the coin shortage deception is deepening in this nation and eventually the rest of the would become cashless in the future. Still, I think I’ll talk to my Awaken pastor, Tim, about this, and pray that I get accepted into YWAM before it’s too late, if God wills. This passage is found in page 31 of my NKJV Bible, page 39 of my NASB Bible, pages 67-68 of my VOICE copy, and page 65 of my Amplified Bible (Classic Edition) copy. (Note: the pages of the latter two versions don’t fuse together anymore, so you’ll see me with individual citations of each one from here.)

I don’t want to mention anything related to death today (or literally ever), but have you been bestowed a revolutionary blessing from a passing relative before? I’ve never been a recipient of such a thing, even from someone who wasn’t going to pass away anytime soon. I find it saddening when someone leaves the world, though, even if they love Jesus 😭😭😭 I wish I could pray they make it to the Rapture enough so they don’t face the agony of death… I know I’m not looking forward to leaving this world if it means I don’t get taken into the sky without experiencing death (see 1 Thessalonians 4:17). Why did Adam and Eve bite the fruit in the third chapter of this book? They should’ve known the horror that followed… and I don’t think I’m exaggerating here… but at least Jesus came to reverse the pain of death (see Isaiah 25:8, also 1 Corinthians 15:54). I’ll mention more of this in my next note when I write about Jacob’s obituary, so stay tuned. In the meantime, do you need prayer for anything? If you wish to write me something, you can do so on ron.outland4727@gmail.com! I’ll read the e-mails, write them down, then tape them to my bedroom walls, if I find anything good. Also, can you pray I’m actually on top of this website in terms of writing stuff on here constantly? I’m just busy at work, and most days, I’m still scared of posting anything spiritual online, for I know that hostility against the Holy Spirit is quite high in the U.S. I don’t want to shy away from it, but I feel it necessary to not say anything to anyone most of the time still. I pray I’m doing ok enough to write again on here soon, for I don’t want to report any drama that might happen.

Hey, guys! Before I get started here tonight, I want to ask: how did I somehow become unable to post anything on here until I found a setup link enabling me to do so? I didn’t get any e-mails saying I was in violation of code — I hope I’m not violating anything, so I pray I follow the guidelines here and not upset anyone… but seriously, I think it’s fun to post good content, and I don’t want to offend anyone who reads this. Literally. Still, this passage is found in page 30 of my NKJV Bible, page 39 of my NASB Bible, page 67 of my VOICE copy, and page 65 of my Amplified Bible (Classic Edition) copy. But I’m sorry if anyone gets upset about something I’m posting on here; I just wish to communicate biblical truth in a tactful manner. And I don’t want any human rights violated, EVER.

I looked into one of my study Bibles for Zebulun’s borders, and it turned out to be landlocked in northern Israel — I wonder if the tribe now borders the Mediterranean today, for Jacob prophesied about this in verse 13. But I guess this prophecy was fulfilled near the end of Joshua’s life in the sixth book of the Bible. Spoiler alert, though, I don’t want to comment much of the conquest, for I’d rather say that God was NOT interested in wiping out any people group, and wouldn’t have done this, for Jesus said every tribe and nation will receive Him to some extent in Matthew 24:14. If any tribe is gone, though, that sucks, but at least there are some disciples from them in Heaven today, though 😇😇😇😇😇✝=💖 and for now, I won’t say anything else on a sensitive subject; I’d rather discuss these with my close friends. I can’t say anything to my family about it, though… for my brother thinks the RFID chip is good, as I said in the last post, so it’s unlikely I’ll be able to communicate much else to him in the future. I think his children deserve a glorious future, though 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼💅🏽🤝🏽👯‍♀️🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🐾💯💯💯💋👑 and I think their parents should receive Jesus right now. I’m like, “I implore you guys to see reason: the evidence that Mom’s trying to mislead everyone is incontrovertible. She doesn’t even believe human rights are for everyone…” But at least some of us do. I won’t say who, though, mostly because I don’t have an exhaustive list of people who I can talk to about literally anything… but anyway, I think it’s great that Jacob prophesied blessing on his sons here.

On Issachar, though, I think it’s pretty cool that he saw rest and paradise and decided to work pretty hard, first. And the Hebrew for this verse on rest and pleasant land… hang on, let me look for a minute… hmmm, this is interesting! First I’ll say that the Hebrew for rest is the same as in 1 Kings 8:56 about God giving rest to Israel on all sides in Solomon’s reign, and translating this into Greek, it has a feminine connotation. Plus, it’s the same as in Matthew 11:29 about limitless rest, so Issachar was pretty tenacious about being productive here on Earth, first. I know I want to do that and have fun throughout the whole thing 🏬 (sidenote: I looked through the emojis near this one and found a lot of stuff from Japan; I wonder if these emojis were all made there…) — I just know I don’t have many opportunities to do other things right now, for when I was trying to go full-time at work, doing this in a pandemic with a lot of outside work in the heat was not what I had in mind. I actually felt like I was getting killed because of the scheduling system. But I guess I shouldn’t have tried to change my availability to work on Sundays… I don’t know. I just know I wanted to go to Sedona to hike there with some friends, but they didn’t let me know soon enough because the whole thing was planned on such short notice. I wish they wouldn’t do this again, the shift scheduling guys. Maybe then I’d actually be more productive; I’m not getting paid anywhere over minimum wage, either. It’s cool that I have a big check coming from it this week, but I can’t seem to enjoy much of it anymore, and I heard they might implement the RFID chip thing in the future, so once that happens, I want to get the heck out of that field. I think I’d have more fun in YWAM anyway. (If you don’t know, YWAM is a Christian discipleship training organization (non-profit), and there’s a lot you can do! Plus, it’s open for all ages, so I can still have a chance! Thank God!! Who said you can’t have fun when you’re around my age or older? (I’m turning 30 in four and a half months.) I want to do nothing but serve Jesus and love others while doing it.) Oh, I should mention that a word that rhymes with rest here in Hebrew occurs only here throughout the whole Old Testament. And when translated into Greek, it has the same root word for “faith” in Hebrews 11:6. So this tells me a pleasant land can be trusted, and I think it speaks to all of us that any paradise or idyllic place can literally be Heaven on Earth, for Jesus made it so. Put that on a T-shirt and sell it! No seriously, get a shirt with the words “Hawaii is literally Heaven on Earth.” The only downside is that the wages aren’t so good, only like $10 an hour for its minimum. Don’t worry, though, Texas’s minimum wage is much worse, but Arizona and California actually have good state minimum wages! I just know a lot of people hate living in California, so I’m like, “Come here to AZ, if you can handle the heat” 😂😂😂😂😂🏜🥵 And don’t worry, it’s biblical to say that Hawaii makes you productive and trustworthy, too. I just know it’s very expensive, so I can’t go there right now. I’d LOVE to visit one day, though 🛵🏖🌅🌊⛱😌😇

Asher also borders Zebulun for a short distance when Joshua allots the land for his people after the conquest of Canaan, but my favourite verse of this group of nine is verse 18: “I wait for Your salvation, O Lord.” I think Jacob wanted Jesus to bring him into Heaven, and it’s actually fitting, for sadly, he was dying… it pains me to see someone much older than I in pain, and I wish I could bless them long enough for them to make it to the Rapture 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 but I have nothing else to say tonight, so if you want to let me know of a prayer you might have, you can do so at ron.outland4727@gmail.com! I’d really appreciate it, for I still have no requests in my inbox 😭😭😭 but you can let me know there, and I’ll write them down and tape them to my bedroom walls! I’ll see you in verses 22-28 where we see how Joseph and Benjamin were blessed! Later!

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!

At work this week, I was curious and fearful to find that social gatherings of literally any kind were banned again even though tomorrow’s the Fourth of July (U.S. Independence Day) 🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎇🎇🎇🧨✨ — it doesn’t look like it, so I think I can hear fireworks each night this week as I hang out in my room where I’m writing this, and it won’t take long for me to get to my friend’s place (her name is Nicole) for the Fourth of July Awaken party tomorrow night 😌😌😌😌😌😌😌 But there weren’t independence-from-nations countries in those days at all; I think the U.S. was the first to pull this off. OH WAIT. There’s this weird conundrum about most of Israel’s tribes separating from Judah around 930 B.C. (see 1 Kings 12 for the story), and it seems like other tribes have done this before, too. But they’re now one Israel again (Ezekiel 37:15-28), so I think that’s awesome! I hope there isn’t much tension between the brethren still… but many of Jacob’s sons were not right in their head at all, and Levi didn’t even have a tribe, because he and Simeon had killed the men and boys in Shechem (Genesis 34:25). I think they deserved it, though, since their sister, Dinah, was brutally raped. Yet not even here should someone turn this into a violent episode. I know in my case, if I were to do something like this in response to such a brutal incident, I wouldn’t be much better than the atheist who abused the victim, and I’d probably even go to Hell for that. Thank God no one needs to turn this into a political statement, though. I think they’re taking over, and I have this feeling it won’t be long before they’re the only acceptable things in this world should this keep happening. But this passage is found in page 30 of my NKJV Bible, page 39 of my NASB Bible (Old Testament), pages 66-67 of my VOICE copy, and page 64 of my Amplified Bible (Classic Edition) copy.

Speaking of political statements, have you noticed that some of the local grocery store products with African-American founders are gone forever? They did this to try to eliminate diversity. Indeed, I thought racism wasn’t supposed to be all that prevalent! I guess inclusion isn’t practiced much 😭😭😭😭😭 — this sort of thing should never happen. But I do like how early in the Scriptures, God lets the readers know that rape isn’t supposed to happen. I know for my part, I’d make something hilarious happen to try and put an end to it… for instance, I found out today that the president eats his pizza backwards 🤦🏼‍♂️ he offended EVERYONE in Italy — someone snuck a photo of this — and it became a meme 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I’m not posting any photos of any politician on here, though, EVER. But I thought this was the most legendary thing I’ve ever heard, for who on earth would eat their pizza backwards?! You’d have to be some freak of nature to do that! (Of course, I still think Jesus’ death and resurrection is more legendary, but that was the funniest thing ever 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 — I’m not missing out on this comedic gold mine 😏😂🤣 truly awesome!) I eat my pizza normally, so I wouldn’t be blocked from traveling to Italy 😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕 I’ve GOT to have their stuff. Wow, I went really far off-topic; I’m so sorry 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂💯💯💯💯💯💯💯 but this was something stranger than fiction. Literally. I think it’s illegal to eat pizza backwards in Italy 😂😂😂😂😂🍕🍕🍕😋 I could not make this up even if I tried. There’s photos on the Internet so you can see the most glorious embarrassment ever 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I literally worshipped Jesus in the break room where I found this out (a friend and co-worker told me that) and praised God for justice 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 indeed, I think the Italians’ anger is justifiable myself. They banned travel between here and too many places (Europe included), so someone takes a photo of the weirdest thing in history and plasters it everywhere on the Internet. Got his just desserts, I think 😂😂😂😂😂

On a more serious note, though, sleeping with your parents’ friend or your friends’ parents is not a good idea, and you can shame others for this. Reuben did this, and now his tribe’s almost gone (Deuteronomy 33:6, AMPC) I pray the Reubenites become Christian, just as Jesus had spoken prophetically concerning each tribe and nation around the world (Matthew 24:14). I think the Simeonites were integrated into Judah to some degree after the conquest, and Levi’s descendants were scattered all over Israel to have a priesthood lineage, especially concerning Moses’ brother, Aaron. We’ll get there when we get there, though. In the meantime, do you want prayer for anything? I’d love to see what you’re talking about, so e-mail me something to ron.outland@4727@gmail.com so I can read it, write it down, then tape it to my bedroom walls! I’ll see you when I comment on verses 8-12 about only Judah! I’m sorry if I didn’t include enough information about Reuben, Simeon, and Levi, but just remember that I’m learning as I go along, that’s how we grow, regardless of whichever translation of the Bible we read or not, so don’t get mad at the comment section. Thanks and I’ll see you later! (Oh, it’s the Fourth of July as of ten minutes ago, but I started writing this at around 11:30.)

We see here that Jacob makes a prophecy on all his sons as he lays dying in his bed from the sickness (mentioned in the previous chapter). The first three, he didn’t give his birthright blessing to, but Judah he did. Later Jewish people understood this to be a sign that Jesus would come from Judah. And so He did (see Hebrews 7:14, also Genesis 49:18). But I’m not talking about all of Jacob’s sons today; I’ll put the first three in the next note, Judah on his own note, and the other eight… I don’t know what to do with them yet. I pray to God I make only the right moves… but this chapter is found in pages 30-31 of my NKJV Bible, pages 39-40 of my NASB Bible, pages 66-68 of my VOICE copy, and pages 64-66 of my Amplified Bible (Classic Edition) copy.

I’ve heard theories that people say things to come on their deathbed; indeed, I’ve heard stories from others I won’t mention here, for some of them are really creepy. I don’t want to go there 🤐😖😓😰😱😱😱😩😩😩😩😩💤💤💤 I don’t even want to think about anyone dying; I’d especially be forever downcast if my niece was fatally struck with something 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 but I’m sure her parents are doing a decent job with her, but they’re younger than I am, and I don’t have much of a clue on how to take care of a kid! I pray for some wisdom there, knowing that first of all, there should be no hostility against them, only friendliness should be done to them. I know you’ve probably heard me say this before, but I’m insisting on this so much because I never had true friendship with my parents growing up, and while my dad and I got along ok in his final years, my mom is more and more unrepentant each day, even though I can honestly say we all make many mistakes, some really stupid. Indeed, it was in mid-2009 when she revealed her true colors. I couldn’t trust her again since, no matter how much I tried. (If she’s reading this, I don’t want her to hurt herself, but to be kind to everyone instead. I’m scared how she’ll react, to be honest…)

I thought I’d group Reuben, Simeon, and Levi together first because they’re the ones who went either lewd or vengeful, and it’s a sobering reminder for me to never use anger as fuel for revenge as Simeon and Levi did (Ephesians 4:26-27, contrast Genesis 34:25-29). Spoiler alert: he prophesies they won’t be so numerous in the post-conquest era (read Joshua and Judges for the events after Moses’ death but before Samuel’s birth, and also Ruth). A footnote in the first Amplified Bible says in the beginning of this chapter that Moses blesses the children of Jacob in a similar manner to Jacob himself. Another footnote told me in chapter 48 (sorry I missed it) that Ephraim outnumbers Judah by about 20,000 people at one point (again, in the first Amplified Bible). But Peter in the New Testament is later named after Simeon here (read from Matthew 4 and throughout Acts 1-12, also 1 & 2 Peter). I pray I don’t go in a direction that he wouldn’t approve of (I mean Jesus’ disciple, Peter)… 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

If you have any prayer requests, you can submit them to me at ron.outland4727@gmail.com! I’ll read each one, write them down, then tape them to my bedroom walls! I don’t think I have any e-mails with prayers in them from you guys still, so I’d really like this to happen… but comment what you feel the Holy Spirit leads you to say. Thanks for reading this and I’ll see you in the next note, coming up Friday night! (Today is Wednesday.)

I’m sure everyone knows that Egypt founded itself in northeastern Africa, and it’s not all that difficult to see that they were (and still are) quite unique, and that most of the other African people are Black, but I think it’s stupid that they’re still ignored by a ridiculous extent, even in today’s world. I’m a firm believer that these of African descent are legendary, though. Yet sometimes, we forget that the Arabs make up most of northern Africa, so I think they should be celebrated as well, but we MUST pray that more people in the Sahara Desert become Christian, or we’re going to have some problems. I know for one thing, my niece is half-Filipino (my brother and I are U.S. Caucasian), so I think she should be accepted everywhere. Period. Besides, if she gets rejected by the time she’s five, she’ll probably believe she’s stuck with the spirit of rejection, and I want to celebrate her every single day, not caring where anyone’s from or the skin color they’re wearing. I find it weird that racism is still here, yet I’m more challenged to protest against it. Indeed, I wish George Floyd hadn’t died. He was not only black, but Christian as well! At least he’s in Heaven, now, but I think the police mean to exterminate the faith of Jesus as well, even though it’s completely legal, and likewise other faiths. Ironically, someone can trick the government into believing that because of your devotion to Jesus, you’re promoting civil disobedience, just as the Jews had accused Paul and his friends of this in Thessalonica (Acts 17:6). But this blessing in this chapter starts a legacy of loving others in different nations that becomes perfected in Jesus nearly two thousand years later. This chapter is found in page 30 of my NKJV Bible, pages 38-39 of my NASB Bible, pages 65-66 of my VOICE copy, and pages 63-64 of my Amplified Bible (Classic Edition) copy.

There’s more against racism to be done, which if you haven’t seen it as obvious in the last few weeks, I don’t know how you managed to not hear of anything like this, for more people of African descent were killed by policemen and white nationialists. This is not good, and I think, for the most part, those guys are going to Hell for judging them like this. This month’s events reopened a deep wound in the U.S., and I won’t be surprised if God promises each nationalist no descendants or even a nation. I do wish citizenship by birthright happened in more countries, though. They do it here and in Canada and in Mexico, so why not Europe and Asia, and Africa and the Pacific? Most North and South American countries like the U.S. and its neighbours do this, so I think it should be more popular. I feel bad for those who live under the constant threat of one’s citizenship being stripped away because of their devotion to Jesus. And knowing how immigration across the world is nearly impossible right now (they atheistically stopped all immigration to the U.S., and I’m like, 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 — this shouldn’t happen!!) I’d rather be taken to Heaven by God’s hand than have this happen. So I pray that God would decimate the systems that are killing immigration for at least 20% of the world’s countries/population, for it is right for Him to judge them for good. It might even be necessary for certain nations to be replaced as a result, developed or otherwise. The riots have screwed up everything, and the government is fueling them. At least curfew’s over across the country, though, but I’m afraid to go anywhere more than five miles away from home by myself again. I just wish I could enjoy God in peace…

So, yeah, there’s my two cents on what’s been happening this month. But the editor who did the note in this chapter of the VOICE version of the Bible got it wrong: God doesn’t always privilege the younger over the older; in fact, there’s no partiality with Him (Romans 2:11). I pray anyone would understand this for the first time, knowing He loves each person equally.

If you have something to pray about yourself, let me know! You can send me an e-mail at ron.outland4727@gmail.com! I’ll read each letter, write the requests down (if they’re biblically solid), then tape them to my bedroom walls! And speaking of being biblically solid, racism is literally everything antithetical to the Scriptures. Those who use the Bible to promote it — there’s a special place in Hell for those godless buttholes. People are meant to be included, for God doesn’t believe in exclusion. So I pray we move forward in the U.S. against racism, and so does wherever else you may be from. I’ll return sooner or later for chapters 49 and 50! See ya!
