Titus 2. The Apostle Paul wrote to Titus that in order to have a sound church he must teach sound doctrine. And it is all done through saving grace. Quote to remember: “Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.”

Ezekiel 1 tells of Ezekiel’s vision from God. As a 23 year old I read of the Swiss author Erich von Däneken and his wild hypotheses about aliens visiting us and mentioned the wheel in a wheel from Ezekiel’s vision. And this was before I believed! Read the chapter carefully and see what you think. Däneken was speculating widely, but what God showed Ezekiel will challenge your imagination!
Psalm 96 was written to “declare His glory among the nations“, and ends up with “Let all creation rejoice before the Lord, for he comes, he comes to judge the earth.”

The countries that use Ivermectin in blue, the others in orange
It is fascinating to see the Covid-19 rates for the countries that use Ivermectin to protect against river blindness and other parasites and compare them with the rates for the countries that do not use Ivermectin. Could Ivermectin be the cure for COVID-19? This data seems to suggest so.

2 Timothy 3. The apostle Paul spoke of perilous times and perilous men, but as for Timothy, he was to be the man of God, and keep in mind“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.”
Lamentations 3 displays the Prophet Jeremiah’s anguish and hope.“Great is thy faithfulness!“
Lamentations 4. Trouble continues, the dirge continues with the degradation of Zion. And yet, there is a glimmer of hope.
Lamentations 5. Although this chapter has 22 verses, it is not an acrostic, but it is an urgent prayer for restoration.
Psalm 93. A Psalm of only five verses: The LORD reigns!
To see the COVID-19 pandemic worldwide, let us take a look at 3 countries, all tropical. Singapore, a country of 5.9 million people, a vaccination rate of 81% and one of the best health care systems in the world, the Dominican Republic, a country of 11.0 million people, a good health care system and a vaccination rate of 46%, and its neighbor Haiti, a country of 11.6 million people and a health care system that is probably the worst in the western hemisphere.
First, take a look at Covid-19 data from Singapore:
From less than 20 cases a day until Jul 20 2021, on October 10 it was 3,300From having almost no deaths at all, it is now up to 8 a day.
Now take a look at the Dominican Republic:
there were 3 spikes over 1,200 cases/day recently about 675 cases/dayThe first 2 spikes, over 20 deaths/day, the 3rd spike about 5 deaths/day, occurring after vaccination, now about 2 deaths/day
Now take a look at Haiti:
There were 3 spikes of less than 200 cases/day recently about 60 cases/dayThe first spike, 4 deaths/day, the second 1 death/day the 3rd spike about 5 deaths/day, now about 4 deaths/day
What conclusions can we draw from this? Initially Singapore did a fantastic job holding down cases and deaths, and seemed almost to have overcome covid-19, but the hit from the delta variant hit even the 81% vaccinated people severely and the latest snapshot with 3,300 cases daily. that makes Singapore the worst of the 3 by a factor of 9 versus the Dominican Republic and 112 times worse than Haiti. But since most of the Singaporeans are vaccinated the death rates are much closer: 7.5 times worse than the Dominican Republic and 5.4 times worse than Haiti.
Haiti is a country with a great problem of parasitic infections. Ivermectin is one of the few medications that is taken almost universally. This is why their numbers are so low.
Conclusion: Ivermectin is far superior to vaccine. Let that sink in!
2 Timothy 2:14-26. The Apostle Paul defended his motives and his conduct, they were all pure. Then he gave thanks to God for the conversion of the Thessalonians and mentioned his longing to see them.
Lamentations 1. It was written as dirge poetry at the time when Jerusalem was afflicted and captured. It is a true acrostic, which means the twenty-two letters of the Hebrew alphabet are used in succession to begin the lines and sections of those songs.
Lamentations 2. It too is dirge poetry written in an acrostic form emphasizing God’s anger over Jerusalem.
Psalm 91. The author is anonymous. Charles Spurgeon commented: “In the whole collection there is not a more cheering Psalm, its tone is elevated and sustained throughout, faith is at its best, and speaks nobly.” He also quoted (in English) Siméon Marotte deMuis: “It is one of the most excellent works of this kind which has ever appeared. It is impossible to imagine anything more solid, more beautiful, more profound, or more ornamented.”
Psalm 92. A Song for the Sabbath day. Give thanks to the LORD. God judges His enemies, and He makes His people flourish.
2 Timothy 2:1-16. God, through the apostle Paul gave advice to the young Timothy, such as: Be strong in grace, be not ashamed of the truth as you are an approved worker.
Proverbs 16, Proverbs of Solomon. God looks at the heart, take heed and do what is right in the eyes of the Lord, not men.
Psalm 89, of Ethan the Ezrahite. “I will sing of the mercies of the LORD forever“. A Psalm of praise to God and His covenant with David, His glory and holiness, His faithfulness to deliver His promises, but also the trouble with the unfaithful. It ends up with a plea for a speedy restoration.
Psalm 90, a Prayer of Moses, the Man of God. This is his prayer in the wilderness, and is the only song of Moses in the Psalms, but there are two others in the Pentateuch (Exodus 15 and Deuteronomy 32-33).
In July 2021, the Indonesian Food and Drug Monitoring Agency (BPOM) finally granted the Emergency Use Authorization for Ivermectin as the therapeutic drug to cure the Covid-19.
This was due to the country’s “worst-case scenario” epidemic at the time according to officials.
Indonesia experienced a spike in COVID-19 infection and deaths in July and was struggling to slow the virus transmission due to its high population. Indonesia is ranked as the world’s fourth most populous country.
The government imposed an emergency measure to slow the spread of the virus. One of its measures was to authorize the use of Ivermectin as a COVID-19 treatment.
The Strait Times reported:
The Indonesian government on Thursday (July 15) began distributing free medicine and vitamins to self-isolating Covid-19 patients in high-risk areas as the highly transmissible Delta variant of the coronavirus continued to rip through the country, emptying pharmacy shelves.
Each package will have seven days worth of therapeutic Covid-19 drugs and vitamins, and will be given to asymptomatic patients as well as those with mild to moderate symptoms including fever and dry cough. The medication for the latter group will require consultation with a doctor and a prescription.
Medical facilities are stretched thin, and demand for oxygen and medication has also soared. As scores of people are isolating themselves at home and self-medicating, prices of drugs have shot up in pharmacies and online. The health ministry has since moved to cap the prices of drugs such as favipiravir, remdesivir and ivermectin.
Indonesia’s food and drug agency has authorised ivermectin for emergency use against Covid-19, Reuters reported, although the World Health Organisation, as well as European and the US regulators did not recommend its use for Covid-19 patients.
After the government authorized the use of Ivermectin for COVID-19 patients, the number of cases significantly plummeted since July.
The data below proves that Ivermectin played a major role on the steep decline of COVID-19 cases despite having a low vaccination rate.
Number of cases Jul 15 50,069 Oct 8, 1,306, a 97% dropNumber of deaths Jul 15 1,778 Oct 8, 76, a 96% drop
Here is an article on how India defeated the delta variant of Covid with Ivermectin. In the state of Uttar Pradesh 33 districts declared themselves free from COVID-19 on September 7. Only the district of Agra has lingering outbreaks, probably because it is the home of Taj Mahal and with it the large influx of people from all over the world visiting the area. The statistics for all of India looks like this today:
New cases May 08, 388,000 Qct 09, 19,900, a 95% dropNew deaths May 18, 4,618; Qct 09, 253; a 94% drop
How does the U.S. A. compare? Indonesia has a population of about 275 million people, the population of India is about 1,400 million and USA’s is about 330 million.The delta variant of COVID hit first in India, spread to Indonesia, and hit the USA in August. India took decisive early action, Indonesia followed. USA has yet to consider remedies.
New cases Aug. 29, 660,000; Qct 09, 407,000; a 29% dropNew deaths Aug. 24, 10,240; Qct. 09, 6,961; a 22% drop
The statistics are staggering. Indonesia has a current daily death rate of 0,28 per million, India’s rate is 0.18 per million and the current daily death rate from COVID-19 in the U.S.A. is 21.1 per million, 75 times worse than Indonesia and 117 times worse than India. And we are supposed to have a better health care system!
If our esteemed bureaucrats in CDC and NIH would consider the people they would have approved Ivermectin, HydroCloroQuine and a few other working cures rather than only approve medicine that has undergone double blind trials through paying manufacturers, willing and able to charge for the medicines. If they were to consider proven generics the same we the people could have saved at least 5,000 lives a day just from Ivermectin alone.
2 Timothy 1 starts out with the customary greeting. The Apostle Paul was encouraged by Timothy’s Faith, which he got from his mother Eunice and grandmother Lois. Paul was not ashamed of the Gospel “for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.” Then Paul urged Timothy to be loyal to the faith.
Jeremiah 51 tells of the time of the Lord’s vengeance, the Destruction of Babylon. The words of Jeremiah end with his command to Seraiah.
Jeremiah 52 is a historical epilogue to the book of Jeremiah. It tells of the fall of Jerusalem, the temple plundered and burned, the important people taken into captivity in Babylon, and finally Jehoiachin released from jail, but remaining in Babylon.
