Just finished the mix on this song last night. It's the last to be included on the KINGDOM COME project to be released in a few weeks.
END OF DAYS
Everywhere I go I hear a lot of talk about the end of days
When there’s a famine of truth and many people will be falling away
Bible prophecy unfolding like a road map to the end of days
An open secret for those who have the ears to hear and call on His Name
Cast from the garden, crying for pardon
Souls in exile still to this day
Breaking the fetters, nothing more matters
Holy sparks are finding their way
This is win or lose and it’s yours to choose
But it’s not a game
You’ll have no alibi if you choose the lie
At the end of days
Thinking back on how it used to be when living in a simpler time
We took for granted so many of the things we need to just stay alive
Realizing where we are along the line of time is half the fight
A strong delusion and darkness that will fall before the dead are revived
Cast from the garden, crying for pardon
Souls in exile still to this day
Breaking the fetters, nothing more matters
Holy sparks are finding their way
This is win or lose and it’s yours to choose
But it’s not a game
You’ll have no alibi if you choose the lie
At the end of days
This is win or lose and it’s yours to choose
But it’s not a game
He’ll never turn away
Humble hearts who pray
At the end of days

The following is from creationmoments.com, March 29, 2021:
“New research shows that, when attacked, many plants make chemicals that will give munching insects a bad case of indigestion. They also seem to warn their neighbors about the attack so that they, too, start up their defenses. Some plants even call in air defenses. Some plants, when attacked by caterpillars, release a scent that scientists simply describe as ‘green leaf odors.’ These odors attract certain female wasps, who home in on the plant. The wasp will sting the caterpillar, leaving him paralyzed. She then lays her eggs in the pest, who remains paralyzed until the hatching young wasps consume it. That ‘green leaf odor’ is a plant’s way of calling in air defenses. It is communication between plant and insect! Some evolutionary biologists are upset with the intelligence and design in this arrangement. Plants are supposed to be too simple to communicate. As one evolutionist put it, this is ‘not a defense against anything’ … it ‘just happens.’ I remember trying that excuse as a child. The cookie jar fell to the floor while I was trying to sneak a cookie. ‘It just happened,’ I said, as if the cookie jar had come alive before my unbelieving eyes and jumped to the floor. My mother reminded me that things don’t ‘just happen.’ And science teaches us that things don’t ‘just happen.’ Not only do we see that God exists, we also see a bit of His love in providing for the plant and His intelligence as the author of communication.

Until Joshua 11, Israel had always outnumbered their foes, even if they didn't have the same military training or equipment. Now they faced an enemy of approximately equal numbers, but with better technology and greater resources. Yet, God said "Do not be afraid of them, for tomorrow at this time I will give over all of them, slain, to Israel."
To God, there is no material difference between a single individual or an army of ten million soldiers with state-of-the-art weaponry. If they have arrayed themselves against him, he will use them for his purposes and then crush them.
Colossians 2:13-16 response: In order to keep from repeating this, I am sending you my response to it now in advance of bringing it up, in order to defend Paul against the false accusations made against Paul in the book of Acts, that Paul taught against Torah. Paul denied all the accusations that he taught against Torah.
Ok, context and facts to the rescue:
Paul wrote to Messianic Torah Observant people who were far away in a pagan land surrounded by pagans and pagan ordinances.
Colossians 2:13-16 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
# The recipient of this letter was in need of salvation because of sin and uncircumcision.
Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
# What ordinances is Paul talking about? He wrote to Christian people who were surrounded by pagans. They were subject to pagan ordinances that are contrary to the Bible/Torah. The ordinances mentioned are not the Torah or the prophets, because the savior didn't come to abolish the Torah or the prophets. The ordinances contrary to the Bible are sin. For those who are forgiven, their consequences of following the pagan ordinances are nailed on the cross. Yahushuah HaMashiach came to remove the eternal and natural consequences of following the pagan ordinances that are contrary to the Bible. He didn't nail the Bible to the cross.
And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
# The pagans, including the principles and powers still followed the pagan ordinances and festivals, ate unclean foods, alcohol... The people that Paul wrote to were being judged by the pagans around them because they refused to participate in paganism and instead kept the Biblical law, feasts, and the Biblical 7th day Sabbaths.
In this case Antinomianism pastors turned this quotation's meaning upside down.
Once again I encourage people to watch the entire Pauline Paradox series to properly interpret Paul's writings and avoid lawlessness as 2 Peter 3 warns you about. https://m.youtube.com/playlist....?list=PLo5QtZ1bPyYbL
This information from the Pauline Paradox and more information can be found on other websites as well. 119 ministries worked exhaustively with the large online body of believers to try to make sure they have it correct. Sometimes other people have alternative theories and interpretations of Paul's writings that are probably not as correct as the ones in the Pauline Paradox. According to early church history, one of the pagan ordinances that Christmas asked Constantine to stop mandating was sun deity worship.

Solomon had twelve officers over all Israel, who provided food for the king and his household. Each man had to make provision for one month in the year.
1 Kings 4:7
Solomon's 12 officers didn't strictly correspond to the 12 tribes, however the number was based on the number of tribes, not including Levi who would have been exempt from taxation.
