“Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” Isaiah 40:28-31, KJV

“Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 5:14-16, KJV
“No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light. The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness. Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness. If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light.” Luke 11:33-36, KJV

“But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat. And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man’s brother will I require the life of man.” Genesis 9:4-5, KJV
“And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of blood; I will even set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off from among his people. For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul. Therefore I said unto the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that sojourneth among you eat blood. And whatsoever man there be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, which hunteth and catcheth any beast or fowl that may be eaten; he shall even pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with dust. For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off.” Leviticus 17:10-14, KJV

For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things; That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.” Acts 15:19-20, 28-29, KJV

It was recently reported that an individual by the name of Methuselah lost his Social Security benefits due to the ongoing downsizing of the American government.
I am very sorry, but I must firmly, and resolutely, and with every fiber of my being, reject the preposterous claim which is being made by this announcement.
Be it known this day that being as Mr. Methuselah was NOT born within any state or territory of the United States of America, he is NOT in possession of either a valid United States issued birth certificate, or a valid American passport.
As such, he does NOT qualify as a bona fide American citizen, despite whatever claims he may make to the contrary.
Furthermore, be it known this day that there is not a single shred of physical evidence to sustain his claim that he ever held a single job within the United States of America.
If Mr. Methuselah did in fact hold a job — or jobs — within the United States, he did so as an illegal alien.
If Mr. Methuselah did hold one or more jobs within the United States of America, there is no evidence that he ever paid federal or local taxes. As such, not only is he an illegal alien, but he is an intentional tax dodger as well.
Also be informed that if Mr. Methuselah is in possession of an American birth certificate, surely it must be forged; particularly if said document states his age to be 969 years.
Being as Mr. Methuselah was not born within the United States, does not own a valid US passport or birth certificate, never legally worked within the United States of America, and never paid taxes within the United States, he is most certainly not entitled to Social Security benefits.
In light of the aforementioned facts, Mr. Methuselah is strongly encouraged to self-deport immediately, before the full weight of American law is brought against him. This warning applies to Mr. Methuselah’s immediate illegal family members and descendants as well.
“Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues; And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for A TESTIMONY AGAINST THEM and the Gentiles.” Matthew 10:16-18, KJV
“And he said unto them, In what place soever ye enter into an house, there abide till ye depart from that place.
