“Kate”

Kate

Very Early in the Morning of July 18^th, 2024

I met someone new – new to me, that is – online.

Her name is Kate

The writer is leaving out her last name for her privacy and security and peace of heart and mind.

She is young and beautiful.

She lives on the other side of the earth from this writer – in Ukraine.

Ukraine is one place on earth these days where history is repeating itself — Russia doing evil to her neighbor – as Russia did evil to Ukraine during the time of Lenin and Stalin; as Russia did evil to her own royal family in 1918; as “Gog, of the land of Magog” will in the future seek to do evil to Israel at Armageddon. But it is prophesied in the book of the prophet Ezekiel that True God Almighty will have His vengeance completed and satisfied against a vast military country when she comes against Israel. Almighty God will utterly destroy all the military of “Gog, of the land of Magog.”

Why Czar Nicholas II and the Romanovs Were Murdered

The imperial family fell out of favor with the Russian public long before their execution by Bolsheviks in July 1918.

And July 18^th is the 200 day of this year.

And Kate is 20 – the numbers 20 and 200 have something in common.

I think about her often, lately.

Today is July 20^th, 2024.

Her name Kate reminded me of a song by a singer whose first name is Kate.

The name Kate means Pure.

The music video suggests that Elvis is in Kate – Kate Moss – that he is in she – just as there is a he in the word she – and a he in the word her. And that suggests that each one of us may have Jesus Christ in us – and in US – by the grace of God through faith in the Son of God and with the help of The Helper – The Holy Spirit – The Holy Spirit of the Lord — Whom Jesus sends into the hearts of each one who truly believes the gospel of Christ and receives Him into their heart [by the grace of God through faith in Jesus the Son of God] – the heart of each one of us – of US — giving berth to Him in us/US – in the harbor of our heart — and in US – Our Country – The United States of America – which America may become The United States of AmericaL – the miracle of True God giving birth to a new nation – a people chosen as His heritage! – a people all over the earth and in heaven who truly believe on God’s only-begotten Son – Jesus Christ – He is Lord of lords and King of kings. He is The King of The Kingdom of God – Whose Kingdom Shall Never Pass Away. It is declared to be the home of righteousness – True God’s Righteousness – Jesus Christ the Lord is – Himself — The Righteousness of God.

“Before she was in labor she gave birth; before her pain came upon her she delivered a son. Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things? Shall a land be born in one day? Shall a nation be brought forth in one moment? For as soon as Zion was in labor she brought forth her children.” -Isaiah 66: 7, 8. ESV Study Bible.

A Story Came to Mind a Little at a Time . . .

Is History Repeating Herself?

During the 1700s the British empire tried to dominate The Thirteen Original Colonies in America. And the colonies resisted that empire and won their freedom. And for a long time now, a different kind of empire has been slowing growing up in power and authority in America – by way of corporate business laws written and passed by Politics — and is now dominating the United States of America and Her National Treasury [that is in the tremendous debt of 34 trillion dollars] and Her People. This other empire may be called by different names: a political empire; a corporate state empire; a global empire. This different empire is operating in the darkness of this world. It has not yet operated opening in the public eye. It does not yet have a legal and public name. It does not honestly admit and declare its existence at all. It is in secret – maybe an open secret – but still a secret. It is its nature to be secretive. We only hear and read vague mentions of it as “the corporate state” or “deep state.” And it may be the entity mentioned in the Bible as “Babylon the Great harlot” – or at least it is in an illicit relationship with her.”

There is also a spiritual kingdom mentioned in the Bible: the kingdom of God. According to the Bible, Babylon the Great Harlot will be brought down and come to nothing. And the kingdom of God will come and prevail over all the nations; and will last forever.

We are also told that someone called “the lawless one” will appear; and that the Lord is going to defeat that lawless one. And we are told about the antichrist’s coming. And we are told in the Scriptures that “the god of this world” deceives those who are perishing because they refuse to receive the love of the truth – God’s Word Is The Truth — and be saved — by believing in the gospel. True God is allowing the unbelievers to be deceived by “the god of this world.”

We are told appalling things in the Scriptures. The prophet Daniel was appalled by something he came to understand during his time on earth. Believers must endure these appalling things. And they must continue to suffer and endure unto the end — they are told in the gospel of Christ in The New Testament of The Holy Scriptures.

“And I, Daniel, was overcome and lay sick for some days. Then I arose and went about the king’s business, but I was appalled by the vision and did not understand it.” -Daniel 8: 27. ESV Study Bible.

“When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the witness they had borne. They cried out with a loud voice, ‘O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long before you will judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?’ Then they were each given a white robe and told to rest a little longer, until the number of their fellow servants and their brothers should be complete, who were to be killed as they themselves had been.

“When he opened the sixth seal, I looked, and behold, there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black as sackcloth, the moon became like blood, and the stars of the sky fell to the earth as the fig tree sheds its winter fruit when shaken by a gale. The sky vanished like a scroll that is being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place. Then the kings of the earth and the great ones and the generals and the rich and the powerful, and everyone, slave and free, hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains, calling to the mountains and the rocks, ‘Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who is seated on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb, for the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand?’” – Revelation 6: 9-17. ESV Study Bible.

“You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love. The entire law is summed up in a single command: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ If you keep on biting and devouring each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other.” -Galatians 5: 13-15. NIV Study Bible.

“There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.” -Romans 8: 1-4.

There is something about Ukraine being oppressed by Russia and Stalin in the following “Hymn History . . .” And in the last 2 years — and more than two years — Russia is again doing great harm to her neighbor Ukraine – known as “the breadbasket of the world.”

I don’t know for sure if the following songs are appropriate here. They are a refreshing change to the serious and terrible things that are prophesied to come upon the world. And after the great tribulation that is coming, there will be new heavens and a new earth — the regeneration of all things by True God. And so, there will be joy and goodness and gladness for all those who are faithful unto the end as we await the Return of Christ in glory.

Getting back to Kate . . .

Kate’s profile let me understand that she is 174 centimeters in height; so, I went and learned how her height compares to mine. It seems that Kate is about 2-and-a-half inches taller than me. I never kissed a girl who was taller than me. I imagine it will be a wonderful experience to my heart to kiss up to beautiful Kate. And then I remembered a delightful TV show from my youth, “The Real McCoys.” In that show was Grandpa McCoy and Luke and his wife Kate and Luke’s younger brother and sister and their hired hand.

Kate begins with a K just as Ksenia begins with a K.

And Mark still ends with a k.

Maybe it will be the ending of Mark when he kisses Kate.
