Do You Know The Lifeguard With The Red Beads?

And in that exact moment, for me, Heaven and Earth met, and I saw Jesus in the face of Lifeguard Sydney as she spoke.

As soon as I hit the water I began to swim out but all that spinning had disoriented me and I was swimming in the wrong direction. That’s when I met Lifeguard Sydney with the red beads.

“Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?” John 11:25,26 (KJV)

Here in North Florida, we have a really cool waterpark called Adventure Landing. It was about 100 degrees here yesterday, so I thought it would be fun to play hooky from work and take the kids there to splash around. It was, we had a blast. There was one ride in particular called Eye Of The Storm, affectionately known as the ‘toilet bowl’, where our story today takes place.

The Eye Of The Storm water ride in an enclosed tube attraction that rises up about 50 feet up in the air. The idea is you walk the five flights of steps up to the top, climb into the completely dark tube, hold onto the launching rails and cast yourself off into complete darkness at what feels like 60 MPH. You swirl down at lightning speed and are deposited at the top of a very large bowl and you spin around in circles before falling through a narrow opening at the bottom leading to an 8 foot deep pool. Pretty intense if you ask me.

The Eye Of The Storm:

The first 20 seconds of this video is of someone wearing a GoPro camera while traveling through the Eye Of The Storm ride. It will give you an excellent idea of what the experience is like!

So when it came my turn to go, for a brief moment, I nearly chickened out. I stood there for a second, motionless, and wondering just how much I trusted the creator of this ride. And just like our last story of the renegade balloon, it was at this exact moment that the Lord started talking to me. I love when He does that.

Yes, just how much I trusted the creator of the Eye Of The Storm ride was indeed the issue. Because if I did trust that whoever it was that built it had built it well, it would be a great experience. But what was first required of me was the willingness to take the ride. The last thought that went through my head was how what I was about to do was a great metaphor for the ride we are all on called Life, and what would be waiting for me on the ‘other side’ of the journey. And off I went!

I felt my body twisting and turning as the river of water covered my on all sides, traveling at hyperspeed, and I couldn’t see a thing. Suddenly, like an explosion, the light came back on as I found myself careening across the top of the bowl, round and round till I slipped through the opening at the bottom and into the receiving pool. As soon as I hit the water I began to swim out but all that spinning had disoriented me and I was swimming in the wrong direction. That’s when I met Lifeguard Sydney with the red beads.

Lifeguard Sydney stood in the gap, and expertly waved me over to where she was standing. I readjusted my course and headed out, and this time in the right direction. As I got up and out of the pool, she called my attention to the beads that she wore around her neck. I noticed that there were 10 red beads, and one white one as she began to speak.

“See these red beads?”, she said. “Each one of those red beads stands for someone I saved by pulling them out of the pool when they got in trouble.” As she spoke, the Lord said to me, “see my red blood? It is able to save all those who apply it.” I batted away the tears I knew would flow, hoping Lifeguard Sydney wouldn’t notice. She continued.

“See this white bead?”, she asked. “Yes”, I said, “what is the white bead for?”

“This white bead means I am certified to save people.” Oh boy. The Lord said to me, “see my Son wearing His robe of perfect whiteness?” “Yes, Lord”, I said in my head, “I sure do.”

“That means He is able to save all those who call upon Him.”, the Lord said to me.

And in that exact moment, for me, Heaven and Earth met, and I saw Jesus in the face of Lifeguard Sydney as she spoke. The ride I had just taken is exactly like the ride I have been taking these past many years. Life happens sometimes at hyperspeed, endless twists and turns, and sometimes it feels like we are operating in pitch black darkness. Feeling our way through and hoping it all comes out well on the ‘other side’. The Eye Of The Storm water ride is a pretty perfect metaphor for life, and so is Lifeguard Sydney.

“Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:” 1 Colossians 1:13,14 (KJV)

How about you? Have you met The Lifeguard of the Universe? The One who created everything just by speaking it into existence? Because we are all eternal souls who, after our ride in the eye of the storm is over, will spend eternity in one of two places. Heaven or Hell. If you want to wind up in Heaven, you’re going to need a Lifeguard.

Lifeguard Sydney was waiting for me at the end of my ride, and though I was never in trouble, it sure was comforting to know that she was standing there in the gap watching out for me.

Who is watching over  you, right now, as you breathe God’s air and feel the blood beat in the heart He kickstarted for you on the day you were born? Do you know The Lifeguard, Jesus Christ, who wears the white robe and offers you the red blood that was shed so that you could go free? He has never lost a single soul, and He won’t lose you either if you trust Him to get you safely to the other side when this ride of life comes to an end.

“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.” John 10:27,28 (KJV)

HUH?? In Just A Matter Of Months, Donald Trump Goes From Humiliating Zelensky At The White House To Becoming His Partner In Drone Warfare Production

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

President Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky are considering a ‘mega deal’ that would see the US buy battlefield-tested Ukrainian drones in exchange for Kyiv agreeing to buy a swath of weapons from America, the Ukrainian leader said.

It was only a few months ago when President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance invited Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelensky to the White House for the sole purpose of publicly humiliating him on live television. Then Trump tried to push through an untimely peace to the Russia Ukraine war by siding with Putin and forcing Zelensky to accept terms negotiated without his input. That was then, this is now, and now Trump has come back to Zelensky, tail between his legs, asking Ukraine to give America drone technology we don’t currently possess? This is not simply theater, this is the theater of the absurd in the extreme. That’s the memo.

“And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” John 8:32 (KJB)

Do you ever get tired of watching all this Deep State and New World Order nonsense? I sure do. It doesn’t fool me for a second, I have a King James Bible to show me the truth, but it does wear me out nearly to the point of exhaustion. As for Donald Trump, you have to come to one of two conclusions. Either he is just flailing about, doing whatever pops into his head at the moment no matter how crazy and contradictory it may be, or, he is taking orders from the Deep State who tagged his right ear with a warning shot last July in Butler, PA. Maybe a little of both, but I will say this much. If the idea that the United States has to come crawling to tiny, little Ukraine for drone technology we don’t have, but they do, doesn’t set off every red flag and alarm bell in your brain, there is something very, very wrong.

Trump discussing drone ‘mega deal’ with Ukraine — as US tech lags behind adversaries: ‘The people of America need this technology’

FROM THE NY POST: Speaking exclusively with The Post on Wednesday, Zelensky revealed that his latest talks with Trump focused on a breakthrough deal that would see the US and Ukraine prop up each other’s aerial technology — with Kyiv offering to share everything it’s learned about modern warfare in the three-year conflict with Russia.

The deal could be transformative for the US military and national security, with officials and drone experts warning that America’s technology lags far behind Russia and China, and American soldiers are ill-equipped to use the UAVs or defend against the types of devices being produced by adversaries.

“The people of America need this technology, and you need to have it in your arsenal,” Zelensky told The Post of Ukraine’s latest drones, which have been able to penetrate Russia’s defenses to take out heavy bombers and hit as deep as 800 miles over the border.

“I think this is really a mega deal, a win-win, as they say,” he added.

Back in February, Zelensky was Trump’s punching bag. What changed?

Drone warfare has become the standout method of battle in the Ukraine war, with Moscow and Kyiv trading hundreds of aerial blows a day using the explosives-carrying UAVs. Zelensky, who touted drones as the key tool that has allowed his country to fight back against the Russian invasion for more than three years, offered everything he’s learned while under fire to help the US and NATO prepare for the new generation of war.

“We will be ready to share this experience with America and other European partners,” he said, adding that talks were also underway with Denmark, Norway and Germany.

Experts and officials have sounded the alarm on America’s blind spot when it comes to drone technology and warfare.

“We all know the same thing. We aren’t giving the American war fighter what they need to survive warfare today,” Trent Emeneker, project manager of the Autonomy Portfolio at the military’s Defense Innovation Unit, told the New York Times.

“If we had to go to war tomorrow, do we have what we need? No,” he added.

The issues were made evident in a four-day testing camp held last month in Alaska by the defense department, which saw soldiers and private contractors repeatedly crash and fail to take down prototype drones, The Times reported. Some of the drones failed to launch altogether, and one of the drones that could fly ended up hitting the wrong target.

The potential “mega deal” also comes as US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth issued a new order to “cut red tape” on US drone production. The Pentagon memo highlighted the need for the US to keep pace as military drone production skyrockets around the world. READ MORE

NTEB To Help Sponsor ‘Backpack And School Supplies Drive’ To Benefit The Children And Community Impacted By The Guadalupe River Flood In Texas

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

NTEB to supply Victory Baptist Church in Kerrville, Texas, with resources needed for 400 back-to-school backpacks filled with King James Bibles and supplies

The floodwaters that roared through Kerrville, Texas, took the nation by storm as we watched incredible devastation especially at Camp Mystic Christian girls camp where 27 campers and counsellors perished. We were contacted by Pastor Ed from Ranchero Drive Baptist Church with an urgent request for Bibles and we sent out an opening order of 1,000 KJVs. Yesterday we learned about a local community outreach for the children of flood victims that Pastor Cody from Victory Baptist Church wants to conduct, and we offered to help him to bring it to fruition.

“But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:19 (KJB)

Victory Baptist Church wants to hold a community day where they will feed anyone and everyone who comes out, as well as handing out 400 back-to-school backpacks filled with school supplies and, of course, a beautiful new King James Bible. But in order to make that happen, they need a little help, and that’s where NTEB’ers come in. After exchanging dozens of messages back and forth with Pastor Cody, NTEB has offered to provide all the school supplies needed in each backpack as well as the Bibles, 400 in all. These are children and teen Bibles, separate from and in addition to the 1,000 adult Bibles we have already sent out. Total cost for all of this is right around $12,500.00, and the resources mentioned here have already been sent, by faith, to supply the need in Kerrville in time for their event on August 9th. This is where you come in, we need your help to cover the cost for all this.

When we started Now The End Begins 16 years ago, never in my wildest imaginings did I ever see a Free Bible Program, much less a Bibles Behind Bars program, and certainly not one where we would be supplying aid, relief and Bibles to assist disaster victims on such a large scale. But this is what the Lord has seen fit to use NTEB to accomplish, and it is so exciting to be “in the game” on this level. Please pray for the Kerrville outreach we are helping Victory Baptist with, pray for Pastor Cody, and pray for healing for all the people who will come on that day for food and much-needed school supplies for their children. If God has prospered you, please click on the donate button to help us with the cost of this mission.

Thank you so much…TO THE FIGHT!!!

This is the Guadalupe River in Kerrville, Texas just a few days ago, 170 people still missing and the need for help is overwhelming.

Conspiracy Theory

Former Mafia Capo Michael Franzese Who Was Locked Up In Same Cell As Jeffrey Epstein Said Suicide Would Have Been ‘Impossible’ To Carry Out

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Mafia boss Michael Franzese who served time in the exact jail cell where Jeffrey Epstein died said it would be ‘impossible’ for the pedophile to have killed himself inside.

Donald Trump could still pull a win out of this tsunami of MAGA opposition over his botched handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, but the clock is not his friend, and as Jack Bauer would say, he is very quickly running out of time to recover the situation. Yesterday, former Mafia capo in the Colombo crime family Michael Franzese, who himself was locked up in the very same cell that Jeffrey Epstein was, said there was no way that Epstein committed suicide, that it would have been categorically impossible, unless he had had a little help. We agree, and that’s the memo.

“And they were more than forty which had made this conspiracy.” Acts 23:13 (KJB)

One thing is for certain, Donald Trump knows a whole lot more than he is telling, and for whatever his reasons, is choosing to keep it under wraps in the hopes it will all just blow over in the next news cycle. The man we elected to dismantle the Deep State is now the one doing their bidding, is that where we are here on Day 1,948 of 15 Days To Flatten The Curve? Mr. President, I’d advise you to choose your next move wisely, you are running out of time.

Former mobster Michael Franzese once jailed in Jeffrey Epstein’s cell says suicide inside would be ‘impossible’

FROM THE NY POST: Michael Franzese — a former Colombo crime family capo — told NewsNation that he spent seven months incarcerated in the cell where Epstein died and that the very architecture and layout of the rooms would not allow somebody to kill themselves like Epstein.

“There’s just no way you are able to commit suicide. There’s just no way,” Franzese said. “There’s no way to hang yourself, there’s nothing from the ceiling, there’s nothing from the bed.”

“You’d have to be a midget, and work really hard to try to hang yourself and I don’t think you could accomplish it,” he added, explaining that there are no fixtures on the ceiling and that beds are generally low to the ground. “You just couldn’t physically do it. It would be almost impossible to do it.”

Despite Franzese’s claims about the cell’s layout, photos from Epstein’s cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center after he died showed a bunk ladder and gridded bars on the window that reached the ceiling. Epstein, 66, hanged himself in his cell in August 2019 as he was being held without bail pending trial on child sex-trafficking charges.

The twisted financier had been placed on suicide watch after an apparent attempt to take his own life behind bars just days earlier. He was moved to a more heavily monitored unit after that, where guards were supposed to regularly check on him. But the guards fell asleep on duty the night Epstein died and later doctored their logbooks to hide it. At the same time, the cameras watching the cellblock apparently malfunctioned and turned off.

Franzese doesn’t buy those stories

“As far as the cameras being off, I haven’t experienced that – I did eight years in prison and I haven’t experienced cameras being broken and a perfect storm of correctional officers not walking those cells,” he told NewsNation.

“I just can’t buy it. I cannot buy it, I’m sorry. And I have no horse in this race other than my experience and the fact that I just couldn’t see it happening,” Franzese continued.

Debate over Epstein’s death — and conspiracy theories about the high-flying sex trafficker’s death — have dominated headlines since the Trump administration announced last week that investigators determined a supposed client list detailing powerful people connected to the pedo never existed.

Michael Franzese, a former capo for the Colombo crime family in the 1980s who served time in the exact cell where Jeffrey Epstein died in 2019 rejects the claim that the convicted sex offender died by suicide. He says “there’s no way” that’s possible.
