Being Like Moses Had Been Here Will Only Guarantee Removal Of Good (Deuteronomy 3:23-29) [08/23/2026]

Posted on by Ron Outland

I remember hearing angry people parade themselves every day when I was younger, and today, I can’t avoid them even when I’m off work 😓😓😓😓😓 I believe most of them took inspiration from Moses and the devil, thinking God delights in hateful people. That’s why God blocked Moses and Aaron from Canaan. This passage is found in page 105 of the NKJV Bible I have for this four-translation project, pags 134-135 of the NASB Bible (Old Testament), pages 211-212 of my VOICE copy, and page 216 of my Amplified Bible (Classic Edition) copy.

I’ve never felt safe around anyone who behaved like what the title for this note 📝 📋 suggests, and for years, I questioned if I was responsible for any of that 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I don’t find it fair that anyone would mention only severity, as if it were a forgotten truth. But sadly, this truth is so often remembered that God’s grace and truth in other similar choices He makes is actually hated by His own “church” — it’s not as though they’re in contradiction, though. I think Romans 11:22 explains it, but God’s goodness is for everyone, and He is kind to even His enemies, just as Jesus had said in Luke 6:35. Too bad all of them hate everyone except each other, to their knowledge, and when they find they believe the same things, they join forces, hoping to trample underfoot the lovers of humans and the needy ones from among mankind. When their operations are successful, the devil rejoices, and God’s kingdom suffers. Eventually, it may be mowed down into oblivion 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱 and this happens too often at work. Indeed, this is why I need professional help, and even with five months of it and counting (for some reason, they scheduled me during an appointment I have on Tuesday), I don’t think it’s safe for me to be around others here most of the time… I wish safety had been practised more often, but I guess the world needs godless men who pretend to follow Jesus and strip random people naked and shave their nuts and post it online! 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 Many of their mechanisms are illegal, and even if some aren’t, it’s against the Word of the Lord. What they did in 2016 to remove safety from those who would be born later, like all my nieces, is unforgivable. The U.S. has been declining in happiness every year since, and the lack of safety that had already existed in abundance back then has grown from bad to worse. And the “Christians” think all that’s of God! They’ll never learn.

And you may be asking me, “What does all this have to do with this passage?” Well, the thing is, Moses had been the one to inspire great wickedness this time, for he and Aaron had erred at the tail end of the wilderness journey (Numbers 20:10-11). God then told them not even they could enter Canaan due to this (Numbers 20:12). Maybe he wasn’t getting at this, but the older we get, the more powerful our actions are for the generations to follow, given Jesus’ words in Luke 12:48. And since I’m already 35, I’ve actually thought it good for me to die young if it’s not my fault this happens, for most people at least 50 years old hate everyone even in the “safest” countries 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 like the Netherlands 🇳🇱 Costa Rica 🇨🇷 New Zealand 🇳🇿 Finland 🇫🇮 Fiji 🇫🇯 and even Iceland 🇮🇸 and that’s too easy to fall into, faith or no faith. Why grow old? Indeed, I’m afraid to make any decision that may ruin someone’s life. Moses didn’t seem to care much concerning this, as evidenced by what he said in Numbers 31-32, claiming it’s not good for those who didn’t participate in a cardinal sin to live. He should’ve preached that a Messiah would come and they could look forward to Him. But again, he and Aaron had erred in the tail end of the wilderness journey, and Aaron died soon after that. Moses had angered God by the burning bush (Exodus 4:13) so He chose Aaron to be his mouthpiece (Exodus 4:14). However, Aaron turned out to be a very poor leader, as evidenced by what he’d pull off in Exodus 32 by request of the Israelites when Moses was on the mountain for 40 days and 40 nights. And I don’t think I’m any better…

I remember also one day, after hearing my mom yap about a dog barking at her where she lives the night before, I blurted out some pretty loud expletives concerning her, and I think I made babies cry from that 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I actually feared I had broken Proverbs 20:20 that morning. This was over two years ago, after I went to another recital that two of my nieces were in 💖💖💖💖💖💝💝💝💝💝 but I must be stupid to believe any family member who’s been alive longer than I’ve been is safe… there’s not enough evidence to convict those who’ve intentionally broken good laws to profit off my misery. They’re too good at living off the system. But God doesn’t play their selfish game. I do love how a few days ago, I discovered one of my cousins had brought his daughter into the world last June 💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💓💞💕 even if I never meet her, I pray mercy for her and her second cousins, like those my one cousin who’s now in his late 40s had fathered — both are now college-age, and I pray God helps them discover Him if they haven’t yet 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖 I pray love, hope, and grace for my four nieces, too, and any other siblings they may have 🩷❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜🤎🖤🩶🤍 I still haven’t met two of their second cousins that their dads had brought into the world, although I met one about 20 years ago during a family reunion 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 I was 15, so I didn’t think it would be any good, but I didn’t know I would have a new family member 😁😁😁😁😁 I’ve seen pictures of her and her sister on Facebook over the years after that, but that wasn’t too often… I am glad my one cousin I visited a year and a half ago in Prescott during a snowstorm 🌨❄️☃️⛄️ now has a baby girl; it’s his first kid. I pray God can keep her safe from the unforgiving people we’re stuck with 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 I’m not sure I’ll ever meet anymore family members, though, even if I do go to Tucson to visit my mom’s in-laws every Christmas… my nieces can’t do that every year, for their parents are no longer together as of about a few years ago, but I pray God helps me be like who they believe me to be: safe, faithful, and trusting, among other things. I know I didn’t think family members could be dangerous when I was younger, and for a long time. I still find it difficult to believe my mom’s isolationism isn’t my fault…

The other related passage to this is Psalm 106:32-33, where the psalmist sings that the new generation had also offended God in some level when they were needing water 💧 so that Moses would bark at them — some translations say Moses’ spirit became bitter, but some say that they were rebellious against God’s Spirit, so that he’d speak rashly with his lips. I guess Aaron’s influence in his life had made it so that he’d more or less be unwilling to make alliances with good people 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 did Moses enjoy being angry? We don’t know… he once wanted ALL the Lord’s people to be prophets, that He’d put His Spirit on them (Numbers 11:29). Eventually, he’d more or less get his wish when God’s Spirit was poured out from on high, like in Acts 2:1-4. This has happened quite a bit in the early church days 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 I can’t tell what Moses was thinking when he said everything in this book, Deuteronomy, giving all the necessary instructions his hearers had wanted to hear even when they were young, being used to life in Egypt 😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩 thankfully, though, the Law of Moses isn’t necessary for salvation, for Jesus earned it for all of us by living a perfect life then taking the cross for all our sins 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗🩷❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜🤎🖤🩶🤍 for we can’t save ourselves. I know. I’ve tried years ago. And that wasn’t even with the Bible! And no, I don’t think Moses wanted to say that something needed to be added to Jesus and His sacrifice for all mankind, but people elevate Moses to a position of worship all the time in too many circles. It seems just about every church in the U.S. does this, and Two Rivers is no exception — for over a year, now, I’ve believed I couldn’t rely on my pastor’s words that much anymore, just as I hadn’t believed about half of what he’d said for a few years or so by that time. And now, I’m having the same approach with my young adult pastor, whose Awaken group I used to attend many moons ago (I had to leave after leap day 2024, for I was 33 and could make the high school girls nervous even though they were 18 and could go to Awaken, now, but I hadn’t taken any of that into account, so I’m sorry…) — in early 2021, I once believed God was having me step away from Awaken, but little did I know I’d discover secrets about someone who played a key role in my walk with Jesus up to that point… the latter days of the pandemic almost killed me. I’d mention what happened, but I don’t want to embarrass anyone, so if you want to know what had happened, I’ll have to discuss it with you privately, like an email 📧 for instance. Of course, they published an article about some of this, but I wasn’t involved in any of that, for I had already moved a lot closer to the church and had to keep a low profile. Boy, do I miss Gilbert… but it doesn’t matter, now, because they criminalised homelessness in every single sliver of the country, knowingly put Trump back in power with full awareness of what he’s like, and destroyed the vulnerable in too many foreign lands. God will never forgive them.

I realise I made a very long post about many life events and didn’t talk much about Moses’ errors affecting Israel a lot, but I do wish I could escape the madness of the atheists who love nothing but offence and shaming even Jesus Himself for standing for the vulnerable, instead using Him as a needless mascot for the rich and powerful… it would be good indeed if they hadn’t been born! It’s too bad I have a ton of college debt, though, but when I see an ad for people in danger, I usually pray they can get the help from God they deserve ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 I just hope we can be Jesus’ hands and feet for them more often. Unfortunately, though, the poor will always be among us (see Deuteronomy 15:11, Matthew 26:11, Mark 14:7, and John 12:8) 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔 I know; I have experience with advanced levels of poverty in the U.S. I’m glad God rescued me from that in May 2017, but I’ll always remember being homeless and destitute more than once. Indeed, at one point, I actually contracted pneumonia 😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱 and I may get it again in less than three months. So I PRAY I don’t get it a third time (apparently, I once had it when I was 15 — it’s been about 20 years since then… but I was sick with bronchitis that season, too, so that’s no fun). But it’s nice that Isaiah 33:17-24 has a passage of a better world, with the last verse there saying, “And no resident will say, ‘I am sick,’ for the people who live there will be forgiven their iniquity” (author’s translation).

I hope you enjoyed this post; I’ll be back sooner or later with Deuteronomy 4:1-43! In the meantime, enjoy these screenshots I got from Google Maps concerning a lovely private island from Bora Bora.

I realise I uploaded over 20 screenshots lol 😆 😅 😂 🤣 call me #obsessed 😅😅 this song 🎵 also helps me get in the mood for a vacation like this 🏝🏖😇😇😇😇😇 I need to go there 😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩 I think Heaven’s filled with gorgeous places like this, though 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 I can’t wait to get there without experiencing death, if possible. Again, Jesus is the only One who can make it happen, so if you receive Him today, you’ll be able to live for Him now and enter into Paradise when finished, per His sovereignty (I don’t bring that up much, but only because the devil’s children had hijacked that, too). And yes, all LGBT+ people are invited, for God’s love and grace is for everyone 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💓💞💕💟❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 again, I’ll be back with Deuteronomy 4:1-43 later this week, God-willing.

Life’s A Journey, Isn’t It? (Numbers 33) [08/10/2026]

Posted on by Ron Outland

It’s cool to read about the Israelites’ journeys from Egypt to right beside Canaan, and today, I want to mention how life’s a journey for all of us. I may even mention and review a road trip or two. This chapter is found in pages 100-101 of the NKJV Bible I have for this four-translation project, pages 128-129 of the NASB Bible (Old Testament), pages 201-202 of my VOICE copy, and pages 206-207 of my Amplified Bible (Classic Edition) copy.

I’m glad the first Amplified Bible version didn’t rag on about any sins in a note when I was writing on that last chapter, but I wish they had said something about life being a journey in a footnote in this one… I guess that’s why I now realise the 80s (when that translation was first published) was and remains to this day an intimidating era — I may have been born in 1990, but not everything about the 80s was good. There were delusional prosperity preachers everywhere (and this has been the case ever since), abuse was (and still is) worshiped in every block, and Epstein, Trump, Dobson, and Reagan were beginning an unholy alliance, hoping to destroy Christianity by means of child trafficking and call it godliness. Indeed, that may have worked in those days so that God would fight against it until it is no more. But this doesn’t nullify God’s promise to His people, who don’t follow the utterly bankrupt everything in the worldly systems (see 1 John 2:15-17, James 4:1-4, and Romans 12:2) and instead choose love so that miracles may happen. Too bad offence is high enough so that progress is stalled too much, or even reversed.

I guess part of a promise is that we’re sadly on a long trip home, fraught with many evils, disasters, and heartbreak in every corner, and when it comes to if we’ll even get there, we can’t be certain of that all the time, can we? Indeed, as I write this down, I get a text from Oxfam about a devastating earthquake in Colombia 🇨🇴 so I pray for recovery and healing in all the affected areas, even if there’s only a slight impact 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖🩷❤️💜💙🩵💚💛🧡🤎🖤🩶🤍💞💕💓💗💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💌💌💌💌💌💌💌💌💌💌💌💌💌💌 I’m sorry that country sits on the Ring of Fire, where violent earthquakes are common and loss and devastation is massive in most cases… I remember Japan had this horrific earthquake and tsunami in 2011 that actually made the Earth’s axis get closer to the Sun ☀️ by about five feet. I posted about it on Tumblr all night long, but sadly, my account has since been deleted 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 and I was beginning to learn about how we’ve been in the last days since Jesus had ascended back to Heaven. I wish safety was common and in every country… the Ring of Fire is, for the most part, where the Pacific Ocean touches land, like California and Chile 🇨🇱 for those who don’t know.

But enough with my rambling… I feel life often has all sorts of curveballs and unfair surprises, and many people, even the sensible ones, don’t take into account that too many people don’t have a chance to make it to a place where good things may be common and safety is high. That’s why I often pray for hope and revival in mostly underdeveloped nations. At the same time, though, many people in the richer nations think they’re entitled to what they were given or what they received from others, including from God… which is weird, because I don’t own the land I live in, and I pay rent at my place, too. I’d rather not be in a rush to get some property here… nor do I want to chase after anything worldly like money, fame, women, etc. I remember I had a dream about two and a half weeks ago which contained over 1.6 million bucks randomly showing up in my account, and I had some funny clothes on (I don’t really remember what they were haha), and everyone I’ve talked to so far hasn’t said it’s a trap, which I’ve suspected from not long after I had that dream that night. Even some close friends I’ve mentioned this to didn’t get the memo… I guess the Church has been poisoned by prosperity preaching more than I thought. This isn’t to say you shouldn’t get what you need in life, though. Indeed, if it were up to God, no one would be in misery, but everyone would be saved and there’d be affluent places everywhere. For God wants everyone to go to Heaven (1 Timothy 2:3-4) and doesn’t enjoy loss or injustice. Indeed, it’s not your fault if you’ve suffered any! Yet He didn’t want anyone feeling like a robot 🤖 or a machine with no good mind, so he gave us all free-will to choose Him with, but I’ve seen it go wrong enough for all sorts of people to conclude it was a mistake or something 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓 and that’s what I can never accept… and I don’t even know how soon God actually defends His Name for anyone 😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩 I don’t want to believe He’s inactive in His goodness and benevolence 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

If life is indeed a journey, why then does evil often have the upper hand? And why is the Church complicit with most of it? These questions are unanswered, and I’m surprised the true Church still has a way in any region of the world… but I can’t tell if anyone is saved or not… usually when I feel I’m close enough to someone for us to be brothers (or if they’re a lady, like brother and sister), I discover something… disturbing they hold to and won’t let go of. I don’t want to mention my personal history of all I’ve noticed so far, though, mostly because I don’t want to embarrass them… but one friend, Josh, started a weekly Bible study with the Gospel of Matthew a few days ago, and the whole thing’s over the phone 📱 📲 ☎️ 📞 📳 so that’s nice. We started in chapter 4, though, for the first few chapters are really about Jesus’ early life and His baptism. I’ve missed doing things like that… we used to have a men’s Bible study group every week or month on various New Testament books, usually… until one of them started living with his girlfriend and we had to step back because he was living in compromise. But I’m happy to inform you I’ve never done this before and don’t plan to start now in the future. This was in the previous decade, mostly before Josh got married to his wife and before I landed my first job in mid-2017, after I escaped homelessness by Jonathan taking me in to fulfill some of the Lord’s will for me. Life happened after that, though, and eventually the living situation fell apart. But at least I still haven’t gone back into homelessness! Too bad I’m very low on hours at work right now, though 😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓 I’d pray for more, but I feel I need to use as much time as I can to rest and write all these Bible notes 📝 📋 for you guys 😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇 I want to experience God’s goodness again, too, and I have a doctor’s appointment on Wednesday anyway.

I guess all I can say from all this is that our lives are like road trips, but at least road trips can be fun 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁 I just wish life could be more enjoyable for more and more people… we’re born into the fight, and victory is never guaranteed. But it took 40 years for Israel to head from Egypt to Canaan, with the entire congregation being at Kadesh (that is, the wilderness) for 38 of these years. The notes 📝 📋 written into the VOICE translation, for the most part, actually provide good explanations in this chapter, too. And this is an actual good chapter in Numbers, so that’s nice. I’ll see you in chapter 34… we’re nearing the end of this book 📖 here.

More Stuff That’s A Shadow Of Things To Come — Rituals Don’t Work (Part 3) [Numbers 30] {08/09/2026}

Posted on by Ron Outland

It’s wild how this chapter, found in page 98 of the NKJV Bible I have for this four-translation project, page 125 of the NASB Bible (Old Testament), pages 197-198 of my VOICE copy, and page 202 of my Amplified Bible (Classic Edition) copy, that vows made by women were often null and void by chauvinistic alpha males in Israel, but thank God He mentioned these women will be forgiven in most cases. Regardless, I don’t want to force anyone to make a promise 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I’ve never done it, and I hope to never start now, including even by complete accident ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹 I don’t trust myself with any kids or even a significant other, really… I sometimes don’t even want to BE a guy, for I have four nieces, and I often fear I’ll do anything they’ll regret seeing me do, even if I’m as careful as I can be to the best of my knowledge… but at least God put it on the husband if he had annulled the vows after hearing them (verse 15). Yet everyone gets to have good autonomy 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 of which I cannot go into detail right now, so I’m sorry for the delays, for I don’t know how to explain it, and when I try, I often feel very overwhelmed about it.

Even though it says in this chapter God wouldn’t hold it against a woman or a girl for making a rash vow, the fact they couldn’t really have a say in things is something He never wanted. Of course, women’s rights were practically nonexistent in those days, even for Israel, but they wanted dead religion, given the contents of Exodus 15-17 and God’s response in the midst of it, so He decided to give them up to a fruitless system. Jesus died to set us free from that (see Galatians 3:13), and this option is available to everyone. But the children of the devil have been bruising the Church ⛪️ since Acts 5:1-11, and while they hadn’t been able to do much in the first 30 years of church history, the fact several later New Testament books rebuke the same heresies tells me the false teachers had already claimed the Church as their prize, even before Scripture was finished. But thank God for 2 Corinthians 11:14-15 and Revelation 22:14-15 for the explanation of Jesus’ parable of the wheat and tares in Matthew 13:37-43 being fleshed out! (Man, that’s a mouthful; sorry for the run-on sentence haha 😄 😆 😅 I guess I was going for comic relief?) This is something else I don’t need to explain any further, given how most of my Leviticus posts from up to a few years ago say what I’m writing now.

I will say this, though: how do the people who love Jesus in nations that don’t celebrate women but have decided to disregard them or anyone else from good opportunities because they exist feel about this?! I’ve noticed some others come from restricted nations to do life here in the U.S., but for some reason, many of them think they have to follow people like Trump and Doug Wilson! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 And the latter is a top heretic, for he’s a proclaimer of “Christian” nationalism, which 120 million Americans have embraced like Scripture. I feel defiled just thinking about it! Jesus will see to it that all these antagonists who hate God and are angry at Him because of His goodness towards others — they will pay for their sins in Hell (see Isaiah 45:24), and He will forget them entirely (like in Jeremiah 23:39; see also Isaiah 65:17).

But to be honest, I want to get to the next chapter ASAP, so I hope you had a good Sunday (or Monday morning, depending on where you live). I have the next three days off work, and my health is starting to improve, so I’ll see you soon!

In Christ,

Zelophehad’s Daughters And Appointing Joshua, Moses’ Successor (Numbers 27) [08/06/2026]

Posted on by Ron Outland

I’m glad the Lord God decided to leave a property to each of the five women whose father perished for his wickedness (though he wasn’t part of Korah’s company in chapter 16), and also, He had to remind Moses of what he had done in Numbers 20:10-11. Later passages would mention He was actually angry at him for this — I just thought I’d mention it now, since Deuteronomy is filled with rememberances of many things, including Moses and Aaron’s sins; not even they could enter the promise land. Moses also mentions the sins of Israel several times in that book 📖 and if I can get to that part of Scripture, I won’t really have a lot of fun with that one, if I’m being honest with you… but it’s worth it to remember that Deuteronomy was only for a season, and Jesus is forever. This chapter is found in pages 96-97 of the NKJV Bible I have for this four-translation project, page 123 of the NASB Bible (Old Testament; this is from the 1995 version like in all my other posts that mention it, for I didn’t take into account that a new version would come out lol), pages 194-195 of my VOICE copy, and pages 198-199 of my Amplified Bible (Classic Edition) copy.

I think it’s great that God decided to give all 5 of Zelophehad’s daughters the inheritance they deserve here, for there were probably no women’s rights in these days, and whoever mentioned they were good must’ve been shamed into compliance — I don’t want to suffer the same fate with what I believe, church community or otherwise. However, I noticed that last week, they voted unanimously here in Arizona to not require churches to report sexual abuse on children, and now, I’m wishing I had been born in a different part of the world where the well-being of my nieces would actually be upheld. These lawmakers and voters are going to Hell… and not many would believe this truth. Even my therapist blurted the nonsense that there’s two sides to every story in things like this 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 maybe she was simply scared of the truth? I don’t know… but the only human who didn’t question me in this was a Starbucks manager at work; she’s a huge delight 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝 I pray she can find love in Jesus, knowing that church is supposed to be the world’s safest place, period. And I’ve had a taste of that for a while, but over the last few years, I’ve noticed it had become too political for my liking, and I realised the Spirit of God never had His way here, really 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔 every time the true church says or does anything, the falsehood-lovers who may have founded all the churches in the country always trample underfoot the poor and needy humans among them while claiming to honour them and God in serving them 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️ this is the Great Apostasy perfected indeed. For though corruption went down in the U.S., the pandemic had ended, and inflation cooled off big time, all in 2023, the Americans hated the good and were unwilling to give glory to God without maniacally obsessing over Trump and other atheists who pretend to follow Jesus and are more or less like him, and would even close-mindedly reference Luke 19:11-27 to say that Trump was who Jesus was speaking of 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 politics is ridiculous enough already, but this?! All I can really do is shake my head, shrug my shoulders, and holy crap, there are extremists cleverly disguising their wicked souls with a faux pas of their faith in Jesus, ruling the world forever? I’m better off dying as a martyr at this point, and I have goals I want to accomplish, such as paying off my student loans and making it to all my nieces’ events and supporting their endeavours. But enough of my ranting… I’m again glad God decided to give Zelophehad’s five daughters an equal share of an inheritance 💖💖💖💖💖👸🏼👸🏼👸🏼👸🏼👸🏼🧜🏼‍♀️🧜🏼‍♀️🧜🏼‍♀️🧜🏼‍♀️🧜🏼‍♀️🧚🏼‍♀️🧚🏼‍♀️🧚🏼‍♀️🧚🏼‍♀️🧚🏼‍♀️🧑🏼‍🩰🧑🏼‍🩰🧑🏼‍🩰🧑🏼‍🩰🧑🏼‍🩰💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼👭🏼👭🏼👭🏼👭🏼👭🏼👯🏼‍♀️👯🏼‍♀️👯🏼‍♀️👯🏼‍♀️👯🏼‍♀️ I’m planning the same thing with my nieces and their children, however many they decide to have, but I don’t know if it’ll be wise to do that even if we lived in an actual safe country… oh well, that’ll be many years from now.

The second half of this chapter deals with Joshua succeeding Moses, and I have to mention again that sin shouldn’t be remembered all that much. Of course, Jesus wouldn’t come into the world for another 1,400 years or so, but too many people highlight things that aren’t even anything more than trivial, and from this through the rest of the first half of the Old Testament (and also many other later passages in Scripture), forgiveness is practically criminalised. I’ll never forget the words of the buttholes who preach against the way of salvation for all humans, for they claim God’s wrath comes before we even have a chance to believe. And I’ve seen those guys who worship them ruin my life, and for what?! A claim of safety that doesn’t even exist?! Because of them, I’m now stuck in student debt with likely no way out, ever. This has been a thing for me for several years, now, and I wish I could have a lot more checks to pay it off… work isn’t even that enjoyable for me, either, for the managers may want to help the customers rip off the store and deceive the cashiers, for what we don’t know will kill us. I may have a shot in getting the maintenance position full-time someday soon, but if that doesn’t happen, there’s no telling what I’ll do even though I was promised the position — I pray no one takes it even though that’ll mean getting up at like 5 am daily to get ready and actually haul my butt over to the store to clean after everyone else 😅😅😄😄 I should probably say when Satan succeeds in giving it to someone else… I can’t possibly expect to have anything go in my favour this time. I don’t even enjoy retail anyway, for they changed the laws a lot here, starting about ten years ago and making everything progressively worse and worse with no sign of anything being reversed. (Hey, that rhymed!) And I can’t be naively optimistic about this, for John 10:10 exists, and we don’t think about it often enough, plus, the fight’s often unfair, if not always, so I don’t know what’ll happen to me when the maintenance guy retires and someone else gets the position… one thing I have learned from him, though, is that where there’s a bunch of rocks in the concrete, that surface is harder to clean than if there were none. The more you know, ladies and gentlemen.

I realise I went off on multiple tangents today, but it doesn’t matter, since I’m sick and I have to miss work tonight due to that… I pray I can recover and maybe have better words to write on here? Haha 😄😄

In Christ,

Rituals Were Something God Never Delighted In — A Short Overview Of Numbers 19 (06/03/2026)

Posted on by Ron Outland

Here we see more wild commands from God about the system He never wanted… but the Israelites had rejected Him right before entering upon hearing the alarming stuff ten of the spies had said in chapter 13. Regardless, at least it was important to know the difference between a completely accidental death or some other sin than if anything was done with a high hand (that is, if someone defies the Lord Jesus in what they’re doing; sorry I had forgotten to mention that this morning). This chapter is found in pages 90-91 of the NKJV Bible I have for this four-translation project, pages 115-116 of the NASB Bible (Old Testament), pages 183-184 of my VOICE copy, and pages 187-188 of my Amplified Bible (Classic Edition) copy.

I often fear I’ve done something that literally endangered someone’s life without knowing it, even if I’m within five feet of them, and while I’ve never killed anyone before (it should be this way for every last human being, period), I can never forgive myself if someone commits suicide because they didn’t believe I believed it was good for them to live 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 and I want everyone to live with no death in sight 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔💔💔 I’ve mentioned to several people concerning one friend who died in April 2022, saying to each one “I wonder what I would’ve done differently if I had known they were going to commit suicide…” and when I mentioned that to my brother and my therapist in separate conversations, both said it wasn’t my fault this happened, but I have survivor’s guilt from everything I had experienced that year — that was a wild roller coaster 🎢 ride with barely any mercy, especially since that friend who had committed suicide was one of SEVEN deaths I experienced then, one of which I didn’t know about until a month after the fact, but I can’t go into detail about these events here… at least, for now.

As I was writing this, a friend of mine offered me a ticket to a Diamondbacks baseball game, and I’m honestly pretty interested. I hope and pray it’s a fun time for both of us! I wonder who else he’s bringing… regardless, I won’t be back until after the game’s over, but I hope you enjoyed this post, and please, reach out to someone you haven’t talked to in a while, you might just save their life 🗣👤👥️🫂👭👩‍❤️‍👩

In Christ,

Census Numero Uno (Numbers 1) [09/10/2025]

Posted on by Ron Outland

I tthought I’d do some of the title in Spanish to make things a little more interesting 😂😂😂😂😂 every country has a census around every some-odd ten years, I think. I don’t know when Canada does theirs, but the latest one here in the U.S. was in 2020 during COVID-19. So in less than five years I can only imagine what it’ll be like if I have to do the 2030 census. But this chapter is found in pages 77-78 of the NKJV Bible I have for this four-translation project, pages 98-99 of the NASB Bible I’m using for this (Old Testament, 1995 version), pages 160-161 of my VOICE copy (with both censuses on the top of page 161 and the difference between them, see also chapter 26), and pages 159-161 of my Amplified Bible (Classic Edition) copy.

I often find this part of the book not-so-useful, but I find it interesting that Judah (verses 26-27) has the biggest amount of soldiers, 74,600 men in all (in those days, they had counted the guys at least 20 years old and could fight in combat). I don’t want to join the U.S. military to destroy my mind, though, and I don’t believe it’s worth it to engage in violence, for all of it is un-Christian. Any accidents are forgivable, though, so thank God for that. But the truth is, I’ll probably mention the same stuff in this post that I’ve done over the last several years as I’ve been learning of the U.S.A.’s warmongering tendencies… except, I find it interesting that no one under 20 could join! Here in the U.S., if conscription was enforced again (this hasn’t happened since 1973), all males at least 17 or 18 (unless he’s at least 27, but they could change it because, you know, fear and paranoia) will be required to join the military… for what I don’t know. Knowing Trump, he’d assign us all (I’m 34, and they’d make us serve until we’re 35 or 36) for all sorts of things that don’t even have any congruency with the Gospel, and when I refuse (although I thank God a man with autism like myself isn’t forced to join the military under any circumstance, but that can change, too), I’ll be put in prison because I had followed Jesus’ Word of peace, just like one Christian in the days of the early church had done — he wanted to be a man of peace, since Gospel-preaching is far better than combat of any kind (I do pray repentance from that for many soldiers in places like Russia and Myanmar, though) — he was executed for it. But the Lord hugely rewarded him for this, just as He had rewarded Paul for his service to Him, seeing that he had been executed by Nero because of his love for Jesus (2 Timothy 4:6-8 says he had done his best and is now in Heaven awaiting the heavenly city (see Revelation 21)). I put parentheses in my sentences too many times, I’m realizing. I apologize, people.

I also thank God that as of Friday, they’ll bar all military activity invading cities here, for the Lord has willed that love should be the norm. Yet I remember someone in my church whom I’ve known for a long time… the man mentioned that the judges were ruling against Trump one morning in April during ManPrayer at my church when one of my best friends was in town, and the man wanted us all to pray for Trump, but I feel like Jesus says, “No, no, no, dear friend. I’M ruling against him!” Such words the man spoke will not be forgiven. His wife also believes that abuse is completely criminalized, and she hates the lawmakers for it. So they’re not safe people to associate with, yet they’re prominent in my church. I hate it. I don’t know what I should say to anyone who’s visiting for the first time. I hope Evans, the man from Haiti, can feel at home in the town of Gilbert, where it’s actually safe… for now.

But here’s one thing that doesn’t seem fitting… why did God command the death penalty for any foreigner for getting involved in verse 51? Oh, wait… the Israelites didn’t want to be inclusive, and Jesus had to be 100% Israeli. Yet He knows that nothing should be built with blood (see Habakkuk 2:12). And speaking of prayer in the mornings, I never have it in me to visit when it’s sunrise, and now I know why: some people are required to be awake when many people are asleep by design — this comes from an ancient tribal pattern from thousands of years ago in which some people were awake at night to watch for predators (like being a watchman for a city, see Psalm 127:1). I don’t know which video I saw that contains this truth, but Doug Sharpe has many interesting fun facts on YouTube (that’s the channel I got that from, but you don’t need to agree with him in everything). So, if you feel frustrated because someone’s sleeping for a long time after you get up, you may actually be in good company, for he may be trying to keep you safe 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I mean, many of us in developed nations don’t usually watch for predators when we have keys and Ring doorbell systems, but for those who can’t afford the latter and don’t feel safe, that may be annoying. But thank God it’s not required by law right now! If it were (and Trump’s bill from July 4 will probably mandate worthlessness with it, and if that’s not the case, Project 2025 may step in to shred our dignity), the Lord’s commandment of Proverbs 17:19 about not taking on any needless defences will be abolished. They’ve already violated this with the national security content, believing Mexico and other nations south of it combined were more dangerous than the U.S. is, but I know the government here has fueled all these nations’ cartels, and I don’t know how long they’ve been doing this for. So the U.S. has no safety, for a lot more than half the country thinks they need to have purity of race. And they were warned against putting a dictator in power, too. So, God will erase the U.S. from the map.

I hope chapter 2 goes well… this is going to be either interesting or unfamiliar… I don’t know what it says. Later, guys!

Is God Apathetic To Those Who Are Disabled? An Analysis Of Leviticus 21 (08/18/2025)

Posted on by Ron Outland

These verses, I think, are what the devil uses often to convince people that the disabled humans (the blind, deaf, crippled, neuro divergent, those born addicted to drugs, etc.) that they don’t matter, and that’s not God’s heart. For verses 17-24 were what the Israelites wanted, and the note the VOICE copy writes only excuses the worthlessness they worshiped. Don’t you remember that God didn’t want Aaron to be Moses’ mouthpiece? (Refer to my note of Exodus 4.) I wrote about this nearly five years ago. Sorry it’s taken so long to be nearly 3/4ths of the way through the very next book 😅😅 but this chapter is found in pages 70-71 of the NKJV Bible I have for this project (mentioned in the previous note), page 91 of the NASB Bible (Old Testament), pages 148-149 of my VOICE copy, and pages 147-148 of my Amplified Bible (Classic Edition) copy.

I wrote the previous note in my room, several miles from the library, and I’m writing this note right after that one in my room, too. I still don’t have a working laptop 💻 or computer 🖥️⌨️ but that’s OK, for I can still use my phone 📱📲📶🛜📳 to write texts and other things, as long as it holds out. If it breaks and I can’t fix it, I’ll have to get it replaced, often for a higher price for probably less quality than this one. I don’t think it’s right that productivity is worshiped, though. When they try to mandate this, I’ll refuse, for I love God and will obey Him by not even doing anything work-related, regardless of what context it is. I’m surprised they don’t enforce it in Utah or even North Korea… but I know Mormonism is the most ridiculous popular cult there is, next to the Calvinism-Arminianism dichotomy, which they’ve made into a spectrum, which I knew to be a lie. I learned this in mid-2013. I found out by God’s Word that the political spectrum in this country is a lie almost five years ago, too, around the time I wrote the post I had referenced earlier this evening.

I do think it’s good they have decided to give all disables humans some level of service in many parts of the world, but I knew that when my mom tried to force me to take social security, it wouldn’t be enough to pay my debts, and even to this day, despite earning nearly 15 bucks an hour every time I work, it’s still not enough, partly due to the inflation and partly due to housing often becoming inaccessible when I need it. I mean, I thank God I have a roommate and friend I have a lot in common with, but I’d love to find a wife someday. I don’t expect that to happen, though. Indeed, I’m scared some of the single women I know, ten of whom I find interesting, will die on me because they’re too good for this world 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔 they’re all too young to die, just like me… I still remember how painful 2022 had been when I lost five friends, an 86-year-old coworker, and my grandmother (she was 81) —- I hope my dad’s stepfather, who’s 96 or 97 years old, is still alive (I just saw him in Prescott five months ago) —- the five friends were between 25 and 32 years old 💔💔💔💔💔 Regan, the 25-year-old, was the youngest, and she was done in by her abusive husband 😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔 I still love that she prayed for people nonstop until like 2 am on many nights she had been alive, and she also gave multiple Bibles to others. And I had given two to some of the people on my block (along with 60 bucks to one of them, who had gotten his rent money stolen from him by his roommate) before I had learned of any of that. I have two Bibles for someone to receive, and they’ll total 15 since I started doing that in early 2022. I do wish I could find someone in my church to distribute them to, though, if they’ve never been to one before. And I don’t want this to become about my own glory by doing the Lord’s work, so I pray for the right human beings to give these to.

If we need help for believing God loves the disabled, we can simply take a look at what Jesus did throughout His ministry (such as Matthew 8-9, John 9, Luke 7, etc.) —- I love how He gave His life for our healing, just as Isaiah wrote in Isaiah 53:5 that by Jesus’ stripes (being whipped repeatedly) we are healed 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💝💝💝💝💝💘💓💞💕💟❣️💌❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜🩷🤍🩶🖤🤎 Peter later references this in 1 Peter 2:24.

I don’t want to leave out that there were certain things priests should do… they probably had a stricter regimine than the civilians did. James 3:1 says also that most of us shouldn’t become teachers, since we all make many mistakes (James 3:2 (NASB)). I know I don’t want to run back to the same sins I’ve once found fascinating… I don’t even know how we become infatuated them them… I know I often think I’m getting better at fighting it, but when we think like this, we’re not controlling sin, but sin is actually in control instead. And the phrase “God is in control” isn’t found anywhere in the Scriptures, so I know they’ve come up with this saying to try and make everyone believe everything works according to His plan every time, so declaring God being first in rank to deny anything is an atheist move which He will never forgive. It reminds me of Jeremiah 6:14.

I don’t know what I’ll be able to do when it comes to releasing later chapters and verses in future Bible notes, for I know they want to make me believe hope doesn’t exist despite the fact they run many of the country’s churches, so I hope I can keep a low profile about all of it. I don’t know how I’ll be able to do that if I can detect someone hiding secrets from me, though. Indeed, if they are, I’ll soon believe all the more that too many people have something to hide, and will even be caught up in believing it’s not good to be private when needed, whether I can be safe to write something godly or not. I feel I’ve seen too much, actually… I don’t know who I should give a chance to when it comes to even a simple thing like friendship next. I can’t bring up what I’ve discovered about others on here, either. Maybe I should write about it in my spare time? I can’t say… but I hope to see you in chapter 22! (haha that rhymed)

I’ve Been Meaning To Do This For Quite Some Time…

Posted on by Ron Outland

So, back in early June, someone emailed me about her sister’s wedding, and I gave her some good ideas for it (I’ll be alternating between writing this and double-checking her post she wrote about it) —- I’ll be looking at each paragraph today, for I’ve been busy with work and I’m not good with checking my emails, like, at all 😅😅

So firstly, the post starts with showing up for the kids the Church forgot. And last night, I was posting on my Instagram story about some girls in Kenya that are in danger of child marriage (I can’t believe this still occurs today) and when I chose a song for it I started crying BAD. But thank God we don’t need to leave our homes to try and provide hope to the little humans somewhere else, thanks to Internet giving. Indeed, I often forget about the dangers the U.S. children face unless I’m at work, but I’m glad she let me know about asking teachers, social workers, and youth pastors to provide safety for those facing abuse at home… but I don’t think there’s enough abusive content that’s criminalized. I could go on and on about this all day, though.

I’m also glad she wrote about kids not needing grand gestures but that we shoe consistency instead. I pray God helps me to do this… I often feel trapped in a precarious place while I notice ANY family because I know there’s a very high chance a little human or two is being bullied at home, and often I can’t do anything about it, for they messed with the laws akin to Isaiah 10:1-2. A bit off-topic: why should ANYONE claim this passage is weaponized much more than Romans 13:1-7 is?! I know they love unjust power, for I did some research with ChatGPT last week about this, the answer of which I’ll post in a week or two, God-willing.

The author of that post also wrote that writing a check does indeed help, but if we have children in our lives, we need to show up A LOT. I wish I could be present with my nieces and their half-sister every day… they just live in Phoenix and I’m like 50 miles to the southeast, plus, I don’t have a car, and I need to save BIG for my student loan repayments. Thank God I still probably don’t need to pay for anything (I had signed up for a zero-payment plan several years ago, before COVID-19 had happened).

She’s also right about trust healing hearts. It’s too bad the U.S. has a lot of violence, either here or causing it overseas, but for those who don’t want any of that, good. A low-crime area like Gilbert is likely a high-trust area, and I’m privileged to have lived there for several years not they long ago (I often dream about going back). So starting a nonprofit can be based on a high-trust community, and we need that trust to raise money for that, seeing there’s sometimes a fraudulent organization that serves only themselves (Scripture repeatedly warns against this) 😓😓😓😓😓 but if we give to a good organization and see where the money actually goes to, that’s God’s call to keep giving whenever possible 💝💝💝💝💝💖💖💖💖💖💗💗💗💗💗💘💓💞💕❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

The author of the post also noted not everyone is called to foster or adopt, too, for if everyone were, I don’t think we’d actually have a safer world, for there’s indeed a lot of destructive people that pose as friendly humans (I know what it’s like to have lived with some of them) —- if anyone within their means wants to adopt any orphans, such as a couple who loves Jesus and doesn’t disobey 1 Peter 3:7 in even the slightest fashion, I think they should do it. And if silence feels safer, there’s actually something very very very wrong with this picture. For Proverbs 31:8-9 calls all Christians to speak for those who can’t speak for themselves, just as the author also noted.

It’s also an easy temptation to try and “fix what is broken”. (The author notes that, too.) I know there’s all these parents in our world that, by doing this, they play God. And that’s just not right. If we rescue someone instead of walking alongside them (maybe the temptation comes from watching movies like the Spider-Man trilogy that came out roughly 20 years ago) —- indeed, often a victim doesn’t know if they’ve been rescued —- we do them a disservice, for they may not know they’re in danger. I know I don’t think danger’s easy to notice here… but I found out several years back that the U.S. often threatens others’ safety, even in a good area. I also feel I’ve mentioned that a lot in my posts… I apologize, people 😅😅 but thank God the author also said that lectures don’t work; love and time does more than these.

The final two paragraphs mention that Jesus didn’t wave from afar but He stepped into time and did His thing on Earth 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 for He welcomed the strangers and touched the untouchable so we may want to love Him and do the same, just as she noted. I hope we can encourage our own little humans to follow the dreams God gave them, for they, too, are made in His image, just as Genesis 1:27 says they are 💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💖💖💖💖💖💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗 I don’t believe in contacting one without their parents’ permission, though, mostly for myself. I don’t trust myself with children, really… I often fear I’m making them uncomfortable, seeing that it’s easy to sin against them even by accident, and I don’t know if God will forgive me while I take utmost caution. If He does, that’s great 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

Bottom line: the post is really good, and I hope to follow all the precautions it gives me if God entrusts me with the task of sponsoring an orphan or someone in a conflict zone… also, I find it thrilling the author, whose name is Michelle, gave me a shout out at the end of her post! Thank God for her 💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💖💖💖💖💖💖💖 I pray love and mercy for Michelle and that she’s able to follow the right stuff still 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 I hope she finds this and appreciates it, maybe I’ll send her this in my email? I think I’ll do that once I publish this post. Anyways, I hope to see you soon in Leviticus 20!

I Think God Can Use Any Business Opportunity For His Gospel Work… If It’s Good: Being Cautiously Optomistic About Any Country In Light Of Leviticus 19:35-36 (07/23/2025)

Posted on by Ron Outland

Well, what do you know? Last night, I had a conversation with a friend of mine, and he told me people come to the U.S. from all over the world in business dealings, mostly… so I think that’s actually good, for it can be an opportunity for me to preach the Gospel to anyone arriving if he/she is receptive about it, including those who speak a different language (don’t worry, every language has meaning, as 1 Corinthians 14:10 says). But I just realized that Babylon (a.k.a. Rome, read Revelation 17-18) will do the same thing during the Great Tribulation, and that’ll be doomed to fall as previous empires did. And I think the people will only be angry at me in most cases if I preach the Gospel to a foreigner and they receive Jesus as a result… but I believe in fair business dealings, as this passage says, which is found in page 70 of my NKJV Bible, page 90 of my NASB Bible (Old Testament), page 147 of my VOICE copy (along with its note appearing soon after), and page 145 of my Amplified Bible (Classic Edition) copy.

I’m not sure where that friend stands on the issue or if he even realizes the Babylon thing explained above (for I actually told him that the Maldives only allows Islam, and he didn’t know that previously, plus he’s over ten years older than me and a pastor of a ministry at my church), but I’m not really sure what to believe concerning most people I know 😓😓😓😓😓 yet I did find out this morning I can still write my Bible notes from my phone, which I’m doing right now at home instead of going to the library… sorry I didn’t write any notes earlier this month; I should’ve known I could just tilt my phone horizontally and press “new post” 😅😅😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 silly me 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 now I know what to do for future notes if I run into any technological complications… unless I need to get a new phone 📱📲🔋🪫💻🖥️⌨️🖱️🖲️💾 (the floppy disk was for me potentially saving my documents) 😅😅 but anyway, I think it’s good that business in any country is an opportunity to preach the Gospel there, for it says in Ecclesiastes 11:1-2, “Cast your bread on the waters, for you will find it after many days. Give a portion to seven, yes, even [divide it] to eight, for you know not what evil may come upon the earth” (Amplified Bible, Classic Edition) 🍞🥐🥖🫓🥨😋 yea, it even confirms Luke 16’s investment teachings (verses 1-12).

I ddo feel business may be the only thing the U.S. is good for nowadays, though (besides the good-looking nature areas, but even then, they’re not too safe whether there’s a huge crowd or not). I’m surprised forgiveness may still be legal, actually… they passed the giant bill on July 4th to ruin many more things, including possibly making it impossible for my student loans to be eliminated, even if I get a five-figure check for any reason. I really hope to leave the U.S. and never come back so I’d actually have a chance of being more effective in God’s work of forgiveness and restoration, if He will do this. As it stands, though, I feel all the Lord’s messages only fall on deaf ears even when a friend of mine may be willing to hear the truth in a town like Gilbert. I don’t want to face only unreceptive people… and I think it’ll only get worse where I work, even if a coworker is at least a decade younger than me, not just in my Fry’s store, but any store I work in this country. I also remember another friend of mine came here from Australia to be a pastor at my church under the senior pastor’s leadership, and when that didn’t work, he decided to do something else (but thank God he’s still here, living within five miles east of me, and if he has to leave, I’d like to join him). Indeed, I feel my time in the U.S. may come to an end soon, even though I was born here and hadn’t visited anything outside of it… but that’s OK if I am able to get to a country that actually gives this generation the respect they deserve, such as my nieces and their half-sister. Yet I don’t have the money or even the connections to do this, and I think Trump knows I need my loans erased, so he’s decided to make it even more painful for me and other borrowers who couldn’t finish their education due to family drama and persecution for what they believe in, especially if it’s good, even making it impossible for me to feel safe again, if he could. But God can prevail against him 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥💗💗💗💗💗💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼 for His love and faithfulness still endures for those who suffer for His Name’s sake like how 2 Timothy 2:13 says.

If I can, I’ll be back with chapter 20 of Leviticus soon, so I’ll see you then! In the meantime, I need to check back on a lady who emailed me something and wants me to post it on my website… I hope to get to that soon, too. I’m just ridiculously bad at checking my emails 😅😅 OK, enough rambling on my part. Later, guys!

The Farmers’ Leftovers For Those Who Are Broke — (Some Of) God’s Economy Spelled Out In Leviticus 19:9-10 (03/31/2025)

Posted on by Ron Outland

When telling a friend I was going to write on this, he sent me a big text from his ChatGPT app that I don’t know how to send to my laptop where I’m typing this now, but I did find this on the passage. I don’t know how many nations practice anything like this today, but there weren’t any welfare systems in Moses’ time, and Israel, by God’s command, was supposed to be the first ever to implement generosity for those from other countries looking for hope and love that they couldn’t get from what they were following (that is, the idols of their lands). It’s too bad USAID was gutted, though… it’s not cool that Trump shut it down to make himself richer than ever, and his fanboys (which comprise at least the 29% Americans who espouse “Christian” nationalism, meaning there’s about 100 million people in the U.S. alone who believe this damnable heresy) — all of them love it. But I don’t even identify with the U.S., really, for they recrucified Jesus for themselves, even after seeing God’s glory in many places in different parts of the world. Indeed, because they have done this, God’s curse is upon them and all their families and those who follow this, even in different countries. So if I were to preach the Gospel in these lands, some of them will probably follow me there and harass the receivers of the Lord’s Word, just as Paul’s enemies had done with him during his missionary journeys like in Acts 17:1-15. But this passage is found in page 69 of the NKJV Bible I’m using for this four-translation project, page 89 of the NASB Bible I’m using for this, page 146 of my VOICE copy, and page 144 of my Amplified Bible (Classic Edition) copy.

And after I read the passage again, I realized I wanted to do a double gleaning on my lands and not pick up anything to leave for those who can’t afford it… but that’s me. I’m the broke guy! I found out the poverty threshold in Arizona (as of about a year ago) is roughly $32,000/year (gross income) and I made several thousand bucks or so less than that last year 💸💸💸💸💸💸💸💸 I still can’t pay my debts back because I don’t have a high-paying job, but at least they’ll be forgiven at the end of April 2039 if nothing happens… and that’s a BIG if. For we know how unpredictable the leaders in this country are, akin to some funny stuff I’ve faced in the past, of which I can’t put into detail right now, nor can I mention how much my savings is (but at least I got it to a desired amount tonight! Thank God!) — I do like how it was commanded in those days, but I wish the Israelites hadn’t requested empty religion by means of God’s words in Exodus 16:28-29 (this showed how Canaan’s influences were still in all Israel in those days, for the Canaanites had a strong influence in Egypt while Jacob’s descendants were living there, and everyone followed that stuff, having ignored God’s faithfulness to Jacob and the patriarchs) — so that there’d be works-based religion no one could follow in the first place. But Jesus followed that perfectly! Thank God He’s Heaven’s Son! As for me, if I were a rich farmer, I believe God would command me to follow the instructions of the passage in the title of this post but leave twice as much, at least. Indeed, this sort of giving (and other giving commandments that were in Old Testament passages like Malachi 3:10) was (and still is recommended) to be the floor… but that sort of thing is usually used by unscrupulous men behind pulpits to get rich off the backs of others, such as what the Lord hadn’t commanded. We need to be careful not to fall into the temptation of greed. It’s nice to have a big sum of cash if you can get it, but we need to use it for God’s economy, not solely for our own benefit. I do want to give my family a lovely Christmas every year, though.

If someone mentions that this is required for following Jesus today, they’re actually deeply and sorely mistaken. Look at Acts 15:1-35, Galatians 2:15-5:26, and even Matthew 19:17, Mark 10:18, and Luke 18:19… not to mention Ezekiel 20:25-26. And when they challenge these truths saying that there were many good things that must be implemented, knowing we’re saved for works and not from them, as James 2:14-26 says, they’re actually using these principles as a stumbling block to those who’ve lived on empty religion all their lives and wanted to follow something else! This isn’t what the James 2 passage is for. Indeed, too often people contradict the other Scriptures with this one. But God doesn’t look at how much you’ve done, good or bad, given the Hebrew for Isaiah 64:6. Literally. But if someone can’t get to a generous human being who does anything like this, I’m really sorry 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔 I wish I could get to some of the homeless people a bunch of good food in downtown Phoenix or even for some homeless friends who stay nearby the store I work at… it really breaks my soul because that can happen to anyone, and I know that none of the homeless people staying there deserve their plight. But there’s not enough good people in the world, and I still have much more debt than savings, and that’s saying something. I pray these guys are safe tonight 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖 I put two bags with a bunch of clothes in a bin for those who don’t have much clothing, if any, recently, for Jesus said what He said in Matthew 25:31-46 for a reason. I don’t think I can do enough in my community to eliminate poverty for good, and Gilbert’s the #1 most prosperous area in the U.S. (but I’m staying somewhere else) — so what does God want me to do in terms of this verse? Hmmm… maybe I should bring a bunch of chips I had bought for one of them, if I see him again tomorrow or Wednesday. I don’t know what these people want, though… I wish I could understand them better…

Another important thing to know: most homeless people didn’t become homeless by choice. I know I didn’t, and neither did the other people at the store who’ve become homeless and can’t get anything. I do hope and pray I take better care of myself, though. It’ll soon become blindingly hot in the Valley, and I pray there’s no homeless fatalities this time. I also pray for plenty of water to be given to them, for the deserts’ summers are brutal, with 110° temperatures and little to no rain… until the monsoon starts so that many communities are flooded (but thank God they’ve built drains over the years) — hard to believe Phoenix is getting uninhabitable, ain’t it? This city’s a testament to the stubbornness of humanity… in general. And the many homes and concrete everything is only making it worse, for they don’t want to switch to rubber (rubber make heat bounce off whereas concrete traps it), since they’re too cheap to save the city and even their own lives! I’m not against people moving here from other places, though. At least it’s nice to see them.

I have more passages of Leviticus 19 to get into, but not right now, for it’s getting late. Verses 11-16 are next! If you have a prayer request, you can e-mail me at ron.outland4727@gmail.com! I’ll read each one, write them down, then tape them to my bedroom walls! I’ll see you in the next passage. Later!
