In a dream not too long ago, I was traveling with a group of people in a race on a bicycle. Someone beside me was talking to me about a pleasure of darkness of this world that is available to buy at a price.

>"For what does it benefit a man to gain the whole world [with all its pleasures], and forfeit his soul?" Mark 8:36 [Amplified Bible]

I don't want to hear it, I love people, I said. I'm a Christian, and not just a Christian in name only, but a true follower of Jesus. I want to be your friend, but I am on my way that most of this world is not. I said this boldly and he looked at me surprised and didn't say a word.

>"Can two walk together without agreeing where to go?" Amos 3:3

I was passing him up and maintained my course forward proclaiming Jesus is returning soon, time is running out. Then I woke up. 

Dream Interpretation Seen in Scriptures

As I thought about this I recalled what the Apostle Paul wrote in Philippians 3:12-21

12 "Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. 13 Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, 14 I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

15 Therefore let us, as many as are mature, have this mind; and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal even this to you. 16 Nevertheless, to the degree that we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us be of the same mind.

17 Brethren, join in following my example, and note those who so walk, as you have us for a pattern. 18 For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: 19 whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame—who set their mind on earthly things. 20 For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, 21 who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself."

The Race of Faith: Hebrews 12:1-3

"Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 For consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, lest you become weary and discouraged in your souls."

"Finally then, brethren, we urge and exhort in the Lord Jesus that you should abound more and more, just as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God; 2 for you know what commandments we gave you through the Lord Jesus.

3 For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you should abstain from sexual immorality; 4 that each of you should know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor, 5 not in passion of lust, like the Gentiles who do not know God; 6 that no one should take advantage of and defraud his brother in this matter, because the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also forewarned you and testified. 7 For God did not call us to uncleanness, but in holiness. 8 Therefore he who rejects this does not reject man, but God, who has also given us His Holy Spirit."

"Progressive sanctification is the gradual transformation by which believers become more like Christ over time. Though we are declared righteous at salvation, we grow in holiness as the Spirit works in us until we reach full sanctification with Christ." Read more...

The internet is integral in most peoples lives around the world. It is conceivable that the 'Beast', the system of governances described in Revelation in the end times, identified by the number 666, will utilize AI and the 'www' for its reign over the global population. This is suggested in Revelation 13:15-18;

>15 "He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. 16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.”

Does World Wide Web 'www' = 666?

Originally the Bible was written in Hebrew;

"The Hebrew equivalent of our "w" is the letter "vav" or "waw". The numerical value of vav is 6. So the English "www" transliterated into Hebrew is "vav vav vav", which numerically is 666.” Is "www" in Hebrew equal to 666? Dial-the-Truth Ministries (av1611.org)

The Donkey And The Sign Of The Cross! (eemorifoundation)

>"The only animal in creation to have a distinct cross emblazoned on its body is the donkey. According to legend, the donkey that Jesus rode into Jerusalem when he made his triumphal entrance on the first Palm Sunday and later followed him to the place called Calvary, a hill near Jerusalem, became the first bearer of the distinctive cross marking. Grief stricken by the sight of Jesus on the cross on that day now known as Good Friday, the donkey turned away but couldn't leave. It was then the shadow of the cross fell upon the shoulders and back of the donkey and there it stayed. Since that fateful day on God's calendar, all donkeys have borne what has come to be known as the cross of Jesus on their backs. The Sign of the Cross indeed!"

"And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to death—even death on a cross." Philippians 2:8

Mark 11:1-11: Jesus’ Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem

"Now when they drew near Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, He sent two of His disciples; 2 and He said to them, “Go into the village opposite you; and as soon as you have entered it you will find a colt tied, on which no one has sat. Loose it and bring it. 3 And if anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord has need of it,’ and immediately he will send it here.”

4 So they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door outside on the street, and they loosed it. 5 But some of those who stood there said to them, “What are you doing, loosing the colt?”

6 And they spoke to them just as Jesus had commanded. So they let them go. 7 Then they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their clothes on it, and He sat on it. 8 And many spread their clothes on the road, and others cut down leafy branches from the trees and spread them on the road. 9 Then those who went before and those who followed cried out, saying:

10 “Hosanna!
‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’ Blessed is the kingdom of our father David That comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!”

11 And Jesus went into Jerusalem and into the temple. So when He had looked around at all things, as the hour was already late, He went out to Bethany with the twelve." Mark 11:1-11

The Holy Spirit plays a crucial role in the Christian faith, yet is frequently misunderstood. I think these scriptures spoken by Jesus, along with resources that clarify their meaning, can help demystify this person of the Godhead, which enables enlightenment, strength and comfort during life trials, and peace that transcends all understanding.

"Jesus answered him, “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, unless a person is born again [reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, sanctified], he cannot [ever] see and experience the kingdom of God.” John 3:3 (Amplified Bible)

"If you love me, you will keep my commandments. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, 17 even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you. 18 I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you." John 14:15-18

“In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory.” Ephesians 1:13–14

Future Forecast and Preparation

"Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.” Luke 21:28  

"The rapture(redemption) is when Jesus Christ returns to remove the church (all believers in Christ) from the earth. The rapture is described in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 and 1 Corinthians 15:50-54. Believers who have died will have their bodies resurrected and, along with believers who are still living, will meet the Lord in the air. This will all occur in a moment, in a twinkling of an eye. The second coming is when Jesus returns to defeat the Antichrist, destroy evil, and establish His millennial kingdom. The second coming is described in Revelation 19:11-16.” Read more... What is the difference between the Rapture and the Second Coming? | GotQuestions.org

"Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for the LORD!" Psalm 31:24

"But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. 24 God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” John 4:23-24

"True worshipers are believers “born of the Spirit” (see John 3:5–8) who worship God through salvation in Jesus Christ. They live and worship “not in the realm of the flesh but are in the Spirit” because God’s Spirit lives in them, and they belong to Jesus Christ (Romans 8:9). Only if we are in Christ, with His Spirit in us, can we genuinely worship in spirit and in truth. Instead of restricting our worship to raising hands and singing praise songs in church, we extend our God-centered devotion into every area of our lives. We worship in spirit and truth as we walk in fellowship with God through the Holy Spirit and are transformed into the image and likeness of the Son (2 Corinthians 3:18)." Read more...

A Dream The Other Night

We both knew that we couldn't be together anymore on earth due to our circumstances, but we were relieved because we saw and felt the Holy Spirit emanating from within as we looked at each other. Our eyes were full of light and our faces were wearing big sincere grins. We were already experiencing the kingdom of God, a foretaste of things to come.

A Reality Available for Everyone

"Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” John 3:3

"Humans can reproduce only human life, but the Holy Spirit gives birth to spiritual life. So don’t be surprised when I say, ‘You must be born again." John 3:6-7 (NLT)

The Meaning of Spiritual Rebirth

>"Spiritual rebirth refers to the new life a person finds when he or she becomes a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ. This concept is also referred to as “salvation,” “regeneration,” or being “born again.” Before spiritual rebirth, all humans are slaves to sin (John 8:34) and spiritually dead in their trespasses (Colossians 2:13). When Adam and Eve disobeyed God in the Garden of Eden, they brought sin and death into the world. Every one of their descendants is cursed with a sin nature—a desire to live contrary to God’s will. As we are all descendants of Adam and Eve, we all live under the same curse (Romans 3:23) and deserve death as punishment (6:23). To save us from the curse, Christ Jesus came from heaven to live on earth as the perfect God-man and die a painful death on a cross, taking upon Himself the punishment we all deserve. He then conquered death by rising from the grave three days later. After His ascension back to heaven, Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to live in all who put their faith in Him. The entrance of the Holy Spirit into a soul is what brings about the spiritual rebirth of that person.” Read more... What is the meaning of spiritual rebirth? | GotQuestions.org

"at the last trump"?

According to U.S. election rules, this will be the last time Donald Trump can be president. Although not clearly stated, consider the wording about the Rapture within the King James Version(KJV) of 1 Corinthians 15:50-54 "at the last trump:” and within 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 “and with the trump of God;” 

Less than 2 years left?

There is a high watch for the rapture in 2026 for many reasons, but the prophecy spoken by Jesus in Matthew 24:32-34; the parable of the fig tree, indicates there is likely less than 2 years left. 

The Mystery of Israel the Fig Tree | An End-Time Sign https://www.factsaboutisrael.uk/israel-fig-tree/ 

>"Now learn a lesson from the fig tree. When its branches bud and its leaves begin to sprout, you know that summer is near. In the same way, when you see all these things, you can know his (Jesus Christ's) return is very near, right at the door. I tell you the truth, this generation will not pass from the scene until all these things take place." Matthew 24:32-34

Israel, Jesus' heritage, is known to be nationally, ethnically, and geographically represented as the fig tree. Their rebirth as a nation in 1948 after nearly 2000 years since Jesus' first coming and the many biblical prophecies coming to pass Are we living in the end times? | GotQuestions.org is recognized as the meaning of the parable. Israel turned 78 years old May 14, 2026, at the end of a generational period. Psalm 90:10 states: "Seventy years are given to us! Some even live to eighty. But even the best years are filled with pain and trouble; soon they disappear, and we fly away." From all indications it appears that we are living at the end of "this generation" that shall not pass from the scene until all these things take place.
