Enjoy amazing and inspiring video from my recent trip to Alaska.
Travel from Sitka, Alaska to Little Port Walter by float plane, then enjoy videos of deep sea sport fishing pulling in the big ones, a tour of king salmon fish hatchery, grizzly encounter while hiking in the mountains, graphic and colorful underwater video of marine life and stunning video of plants, animals, mountains, seashores, flowers and more. Soli Deo Gloria!
I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills/mountains, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from Yehovah, which made heaven and earth. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. Yehovah is thy keeper: Yehovah is thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. Yehovah shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. Yehovah shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore. (Psalm 121:1–8)
Just returned from my first backpack trip of the season into the Cascade Mountains near Mount Hood that are about one-and-a-half hours from my house. Accompanying me were several of my boys. We hiked into a small mountain lake where we hung out swimming, having Bible studies, praying and hiking. I also taught them some wilderness survival and bushcraft skills.
I was up early every morning with my Bible in hand watching the sun come up over the hills shining on the lake and our camp. it’s always amazing how it’s easier to hear the voice of YHVH when we get away from the physical and spiritual noise of the city. The awesome splendor of his creation literally surrounds and envelops a person, so that all one can do is think about him and revel in the beauty of his nature and lift up one’s hands in quiet and reverent praise to the of the one who created it all! Soli deo gloria!!!
One evening around the campfire, Kaleb led us in a Bible study on Revelation 21. As a result of that, after a sunrise swim the next morning in the lake’s pristine waters, I then let the Ruach wash me in the water of the Word of Elohim, and I was blessed with some wonderful insightful revelations from that chapter, which I will share with you in the near future.
Please enjoy these photos.

I’m never happier than when I’m away from the city and up in Yehovah’s creation. My family has been trekking these same mountains for more than 100 years!

May our love for Yeshua and his word burning be like hot coals! When I take my kids into the mountains, this is the passion I try to impart in them: love for YHVH’s creation and his Word!
I was sitting on my back deck on this bright, warm and sunny Shabbat morning reading my Bible, while watching the birds and listening to the wind in the trees when I read this passage in Isaiah. My ears perked up and flashing lights went off in my spirit man. Several hours later, this popped out of my spiritual incubator. Maybe this message will resonate with a few of you. The rest of you can go back to sleep. — Natan
Isaiah 25:7, The surface of the covering. This is a cryptic passage. What does it mean? Other translations render it as follows:
And on this mountain He will swallow up the covering which is over all peoples, Even the veil which is stretched over all nations. (NAS)
On this mountain he will destroy the shroud that enfolds all peoples, the sheet that covers all nations. (NIV)
And swallowed up hath He in this mountain The face of the wrapping that is wrapped over all the peoples, And of the covering that is spread over all the nations. (YLT)
Before YHVH establishes his millennial kingdom on earth, he will have to remove something evil that has been covering the earth and its people like a veil. Is this referring to the web of lies that Satan and his Luciferian stooges on earth have woven to control the minds of earth’s inhabitants, so that they could accomplish their nefarious schemes to enslave the human population spiritually, economically and politically? Or could it refer to an electromagnetic web put in place by the global power elite or something similar that covers the earth to enslave the human population for its evil purposes of power and control? Maybe it’s both. Whatever it is, Yeshua will destroy it at his second coming.
The context of this passage is millennial. Chapter 24 prophesies of Elohim’s impending judgment on the whole earth followed by his reigning from Mount Zion in Jerusalem (v. 23). Chapter 25 continues the same prophecy. In verse nine, we read that, “We have waited for him, and he will save us…We will be glad and rejoice in his salvation [Heb. Yeshua].” This is speaking of the second coming of Yeshua and the establishment of his millennial kingdom on earth after having destroyed the end times Babylon the Great New World Continue reading
I just flew in from Sitka, Alaska and arrived home Thursday evening. I spent more than a week 75 miles SE of Sitka at a remote location called Little Port Walter, which is accessible only by boat or float plane. We flew in and out of LPW by float plane.
While there, I spent several days deep sea fishing, hiking into the subalpine areas behind and above LPW, sightseeing by boat the neighboring coastline, inlets, coves and fjords, filming the flora and fauna along with the pristine and majestic scenery, reading and writing, and catch and eating fish and more fish! Had an encounter with a grizzly bear (up close), while in the back country, swam in the ocean and a mountain lake, toured two fish hatcheries, helped to do scientific research of salmon, read my Bible and prayed, was given my Shavuot sermon/teaching (fresh manna from heaven), and conducted interviews of people who live and work in Alaska for my several upcoming videos on this once-in-a-lifetime trip.
Here are a few of my photos:

Hope you enjoyed these.
There are still places on the earth that man hasn’t ruined and where the voice of Yehovah’s is louder than that of the world and the devil!
Shabbat shalom.
I will be gone for a few days…hunting and fishing in the back country of Alaska, so I will not be monitoring or able to post anything on this blog. Please pray for safe travels. We’ll be getting to our destination via boat and float plane.
While others will be shooting bears, I’ll be shooting photos and video to share with you. I will be dropping a line or two in the water for some king/chinook salmon and halibut, though. So stay tuned.
Love and blessings to everyone in Yeshua the Messiah.
Even more than in the late 1960s, the U.S. is in a cosmic civil war. This time, it’s not north versus south this time as in the 1860s—slavery vs. anti-slavery.
True, one half of the country is pitted against the other half, and the issue still has to do with slavery, but a different type of slavery. One half of our population wants to remain free to follow somewhat the traditional patriotic, fundamental, traditional Judeo-Christian values that this nation was founded upon. The other half wants to “progress” us toward a “politically correct,” Elohim-hating slave-system where the government in conjunction with big business wants to move us into a system of global faciscism or neo-feudalism where the political-economic interests control at the micro level the actions and even the thoughts of the society and the individual. This is called social engineering. This control will be affected through a technocratic dictatorship where technology orchestrated by a coterie of global, Luciferian, money and power hungry devil worshipping monster elite freaks who will attempt to be the slave master over all people. Those who refuse to go along with their evil schemes, antichrist system will be marginalized or excluded from being able to participate economically, thus jeopardizing one’s means of survival. This is how the system will force people into compliance.
YHVH Elohim has given his righteous saints advanced intelligence info on this in biblical prophecy. We read about it in Revelation chapters 13, 14, 17, 18. Now is the time to draw closer to Yeshua the Messiah than ever before. The watchmen are warning. Are you listening?
Can you turn off the video games tv, sports and the nonsensical, mind-numbing chit chat of social media long enough to listen to and to heed the warning and to prepare yourself spiritually? Or are your so smug in your self-assured state of lukewarmness and self-delusional denial that you will simply escape to the comfort zones of your spiritual complacency and the selfishness of self-gratification, while pulling the covers back over your head as you go back to sleep entertaining yourself by indulging yourself in the cares and pleasure of this physical life?
Now is the time to look up, for your redemption draws near!
Yeshua warned us in Matthew 24:32–39—
32 “Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near.
33 “So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near–at the doors!
34 “Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place.
35 “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.
36 “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only.
37 “But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.
38 “For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark,
39 “and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.
You may have noticed that I haven’t been posting as much lately. There are reasons for this.
First, over the past several years, I have put up more than 2000 posts on this blog. That’s a lot, and it takes a lot of time. This kind of activity, along with all the other things to do in life (family, running my secular business, in the recent past pastoring a congregation, keeping a home, etc.), can wear a person out. I’m a little tired right now.
Second, too much info can wear out a reader as well. I hope you’ll take this opportunity to review some of my blog posts and videos from the past. It’s still excellent info. You can scroll down to access older blogs, or you can use the search tool at the top right hand corner of this page and type in words pertaining to subjects of interest to you to see what comes up on that subject that I’ve written about in the past.
Third, I’m using my time to “sit at Yeshua’s feet” and to allow the Ruach to lead me into some new areas of study. I will share what I receive as I am able and allowed to do so. In doing this, I’m anticipating that this will help not only to recharge my spiritual batteries, but give me some fresh spiritual revelation that I can then pass on as a blessing to others.
Thanks for hanging in there, and may YHVH bless us all as we continue to seek his face and heart through Yeshua the Messiah.
