So it is in these times that enemy will infiltrate the Body of Christ and cause confusion and division. Here this parable from the Lord:

Matthew 13:
24Jesus presented another parable to them, saying, "(U)The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field.

25"But while his men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed [a]tares among the wheat, and went away.

26"But when the wheat sprouted and bore grain, then the tares became evident also.

27"The slaves of the landowner came and said to him, 'Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?'

28"And he said to them, 'An enemy has done this!' The slaves said to him, 'Do you want us, then, to go and gather them up?'

29"But he said, 'No; for while you are gathering up the tares, you may uproot the wheat with them.

30'Allow both to grow together until the harvest; and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, "First gather up the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them up; but (V)gather the wheat into my barn."'"

If you need an explanation, the Lord actually explains this in Matthew 13:36

The recent credit crunch which is still unfolding has the potential to undermine the current global financial system. The article above highlights the amount of debt in the system itself. It should serve as a reminder where our treasures is and where our priority lies.

James 5:2
Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are moth-eaten.

See the article above about the movement to rebuilt the Temple and the rehearsal of the Mosaic sacrificial system.

Update 3 April 2021

Passover has just finished, and Covid has reached a turning point. A few interesting things are happening in this Passover in Israel.

It seems like a practice version of the Passover Sacrifice is taking place near the Teemple Mont since there are still many restrictions. The practice is getting closer to the full event, and the actual Passover Sacrifice in its original form may take place sooner than many people have expected.
