I never know what I will be given next to blog about!
Scanning my last blog I noted the highlighting of verse 25 from chapter 23 in the book of Jubilees and thought of our transition to the year 2025. This is earmarked to be a year and a time where those with the childlike humility described in that verse will be relearning what is the truth.
Johnny Enlow’s latest Unfiltered episode is an encouraging perspective of what lies ahead taken from Isaiah 25.

My last sentence in the previous blog was…
“Thankfully we have a Redeemer.”
Let me pick up from there………
This week I had my usual WW4K Bible study with my three grandsons swollen to four with Freddie visiting from New York.
We are studying the story of Ruth.
I was struck by this verse,
“She said to them, “Do not call me Naomi (grace) call me Mara, (bitter) for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me. I went away full, and the Lord has brought me back empty. Why call me Naomi, when the Lord has testified against me and the Almighty has brought calamity upon me?””
(Ruth 1:20-21 ESV)
The point of the story of Ruth is captured in the last few verses of ‘begats’ in the book where we see Naomi’s ‘calamitous loss’ of husband and two sons, transformed into a ‘win’ for the whole world as her offspring Obed takes his place in the lineage, ultimately, of Jesus.
Only with hindsight at the coming of The Redeemer, was this first ‘Mary’’s personal ‘calamity’ seen to have been fully redeemed.
What Naomi experienced as a personal ‘calamity’ turned out in the end to be a monumental victory for her and for humanity.
Are you facing a ‘calamity’ at the moment?
Personally I would say we are looking at two or three situations currently that could be described as ‘calamities’
This story inspires us to trust fully in the greatness and goodness of our God for these situations and dear ones.
I spoke last about ‘millions’ in the context of vaccines ….’not in a million years,……. not for a million dollars’. Maybe you or someone you know were one of the ‘millions’ who were tragically injured (or died) as a result of ‘the jab’ or other harmful behaviors imposed during the COVID hoax.
(If you doubt the veracity or magnitude of this statement I would suggest checking out the research at the Steve Kirsh substack…..
…or here is another short Bobby Kennedy clip
…but ‘There is a Redeemer’ who can transform ‘calamities’ so that we can remain Calamity Calm rather than Calamity Jane in the midst of the storm, knowing we know the One who knows the end from the beginning.
Here are two practical helps for those affected adversely by the jabs.’ This includes myself because although I did not take ‘the jab’ subsequent illness has been ascribed by 2 doctors to shedding of ‘the bioweapon’ and treated successfully accordingly.
The two treatment approaches I would recommend are first spiritual and then physical
In a blog during the height of the scamdemic I suggested applying the 5 ‘R Steps’ we teach at Your Smiling Face retreats or ‘Keys’ in Neal Lozano’s book, Unbound.
Repentance for sin. Release (forgiveness) of those who have offended us. Renunciation and Rebuke of evil. Receiving afresh the Father’s healing love.
Secondly there are a number of protocols that have emerged that show promise in undoing the harm of the jabs. Here is one….
Freddie and his family set off this morning to return to New York.
As we said our farewells at our front door I read out the quote from Lord of the Rings on the plaque pictured above that hangs there.
Our final time together had been watching the extended version of the final movie, The Return of the King.
It looked like ‘a calamity’…….Mankind would be destroyed! Middle earth conquered by evil!
Then the epic battle sees The King wielding the reforged sword, leading mankind and aided by supernatural beings, sweep away all opposition before him.
These last years have been ‘a global calamity’ in the sense of human suffering and loss. Yet in its wake there has been a ‘rude’ awakening to the reality of GOOD vs. EVIL bringing with it the opportunity for people to choose afresh for the side of GOOD…..for the side of GOD.
In the words of Sam Gamgee….
‘……There’s some good in this world Mr. Frodo, and it’s worth fighting for!”
Or to repeat my own words about the sword of the Lord which is the word of the Lord that will not return to him void…
‘Toward the final conflict God’s word our command
We move inevitably onwards God’s weapons held in our hands
In Him we shall do more than conquer before our Lord who can stand
Man shall glorify his Maker, God shall be enjoyed
And that one called the Deceiver. His works shall be destroyed.”
So KEEP CALM
………..trusting in the Lord with all of your heart.
