An Introduction

 ~ Welcome

Welcome to my personal blog journal.

This is about several important truths in my life that I want to make more sense of and remember. Hence, this is why I have started this blog journal.

I am a follower of Yeshua Messiah (Jesus the Savior) and am an avid reader and follower of the Word of Adonai (G-d; God). I try to read 100% of the Bible (Scripture; Word of G-d; Holy Bible) and no less. This includes both the Old and New Covenants (Testaments).

{Note: I am sorry to use so many parentheses but I want us to be on the same page and want to make sure I am being clear.}

~ The End of Days: Eternity (Where are you headed?)

The fact of the matter is I think we are living in the end of days (last days; the end times; the end of the world). Therefore, some truths must be learned, fast, for eternity is at stake (and where we go when we die). Never before has this been so paramount.

~ The Quickest Summary of This Blog Journal

Where are we? How did we get here? What is the truth? What should I believe as we are in the end of days?

~ How the Idea for This Blog Journal Formed

At the beginning of May 2023, perhaps the most important day of my life occurred. It is the day I learned about the truth. The real and unvarnished truth.

Not the truth we want to believe. Not the truth that makes us feel comfortable. Not the truth that makes us feel happy. Not the truth that makes us feel important or empowered.

Truth, the kind that is real and not manufactured by people, might make us squirm a little and feel uncomfortable at first, particularly as we realize how we have been wrong, but then it leads to freedom, shalom (peace; the absence of conflict), and joy.

Ever since I learned the truth that is real, the hard truth (the hard truth that led to a transformative journey that continues this day), my life changed and continues to change. I cannot be the same person as I am exposed to more of the truth.

I have learned that truth is hard and requires great sacrifice. Moreover, truth requires us to do the right thing.

The truth of the matter is few people want to live the truth or know the truth, because when we do, we realize that we have to surrender control and trust the Father completely. It requires traveling a narrow path through a narrow gate.

~ What is Truth?

There is only one truth that exists.

Yep. Only one. And I really should write it with a capital T: Truth.

Truth is what we learn in the Scripture. (Truth is found in the Word of G-d, which is the Bible.)

That’s it.

And in the Scripture, we are told there are consequences for adding to or subtracting from the Word (Deuteronomy 4:2; Revelation 22:18-19).

~ An Exploration of Different Elements of Truth

This blog journal consists of my exploration of the truth about the Word of G-d, the story of Israel, the truth about evil, how the US fits in the grand scheme of things, and the history of the Scripture, Israel, the US, and evil.

~ The Truth is You Don’t Have to Believe Anything in This Blog

The truth of the matter is this: You don’t have to believe anything listed in this blog journal. You can even say things in here are false and a lie.

But the reality of the situation is this: It doesn't matter. Not one iota.

What matters is what G-d says. Period. End of story.

However, if you want to have eternal life when you die (and be with G-d and in His presence), you might want to take what this blog journal says seriously. If you don’t care about that and want to live in eternal destruction (a lake of fire and be without G-d), then you have made your choice and will face the consequences.

~ History

It is essential to understand history so we can know the truth about where we are today. Hence, I will explore history on this blog journal as well.

~ Context: The News

I will add the news of the day, the highlights, and in some cases a more zoomed in picture in an effort to provide context of the elements of truth that I am exploring.

~ Visual

I am a visual learner. If I see it, I will remember it and understand it. Therefore, I have decided to try something quite unconventional: A timeline. It’s going to be a timeline to explore the truth of the elements I listed previously.

~ More Will Be Explained As We Go

There will be much shared on this blog, in this blog journal. That includes more of the reason why I am journaling about these things and putting them in a blog journal format.

~ Know This

I want to know the complete truth as to what is going on in the world and how to explain the evil that seems to be taking over more than ever before.

And I want to know what it means for me/us if we are living in the end times.

But in order to fully understand, we need to look at the Bible, at history, and at current events.

If I am going to understand these things, I need some order, some form, some organization, to see things and fully grasp the truth of things.

Welcome to the Timeline of Truth.

This is my blog journal.
