Simon represents the people who doubted that Jesus is the Son of God and the prophet as foretold in the Scriptures. Simon, represents the religious establishment and church leaders of today who would rather be influencers than influence people to find Christ.

In an era when there are wars on every continent, war in the Middle East, war in Europe , war in Venezuela, God has to become our safety. When irresponsible politicians initiate wars to satisfy their egos and send our children into wars, we need to God more than ever.

The story of how God saves, salvation is not only saving you from hell, but saving you when they turn the lights off, when you are abandoned, when they try to destroy you. Psalm 118:5-14 (AMOl; NKJV; MSG; KJV)

When public policy is deliberately created with the expressed intention of impoverishing citizens, God has to step in to protect the people.

The leaders of church and state have defied God by not taking care of His people. God has organized for new shepherds to lead His people, henceforth. Jeremiah 23:1-4 (KJV)

The prophet Jeremiah would like a word with prophets and leaders of today. Leaders today want to be adored and admired instead of leading the people according to God's word. Hence ruin began at the sanctuary due to preachers preferring the company of errant politicians who violate children, and endorsing them bringing them into the sanctuary , making it seem that God endorses malfeasance. Hence the judgement will begin at the House of God. Jeremiah 25:26-28 (NKJV)

The prophet Jeremiah has a word for the prophets of today- who prophesy lies in the Name of God- God did not send you! The Power of God's wrath is coming!
