THE FIRST SEAL: HAS IT BEEN BROKEN? by Jeff Wingo

July 20, 2015

The Lamb opening the book with seven seals by Matthias Gerung, 1530-1532.

The Lamb opening the book with seven seals by Matthias Gerung, 1530-1532.

Has the first seal of the 7 sealed scroll of the book of Revelation been broken? As you may recall, the Apostle John, the author of the book of Revelation, was shown a sealed scroll in heaven that no one was worthy to open (Rev. 5); only the Lamb of God was found worthy to receive the scroll and break the seals. This scroll was given to the Lamb, who is Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God “who takes away the sin of the world” (John 1:29). Jesus takes the scroll, breaks the first seal, and begins to unroll it. Each seal reveals an aspect of the judgment of God upon the Earth. Once the Lamb takes the scroll and the 1st seal is broken, John hears a loud noise like roaring thunder.

Revelation 6:1-2

And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.

With the breaking of the 1st seal, the noise of thunder is heard, which is an ominous warning of Divine judgment. And with that, John is invited to observe the resulting after-effects. It is then that he observes a rider on a white horse. That the rider has a crown is very significant. In this case the crown is the wreath worn by a conqueror. His power in conquest is also implied by the white horse, signifying his position as a victor. According to Albert Barnes, “the horse was an emblem of fleetness, and, consequently, of the rapidity of conquest.” With his bow and crown he goes forth as a victor, conquering the world.

Who is the rider on the white horse? The rider is none other than the Antichrist, the Beast of Revelation. The opinion of commentators of ages past is that this is a symbol of Christ, going forth, conquering the world with the power of the gospel. While it is true that the gospel has the power to redeem the human heart, and thus conquer the power of sin, Jesus did not come to Earth the first time as a conquering king to subdue the nations of the Earth; He came as the Redeemer of mankind, and He said His kingdom is not of this world:

John 18:36:  Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.

Jesus will subdue the nations at His Second Coming. But before He returns again, the world will experience the judgment of Antichrist. So the king of Revelation 6:2 is not Christ, but the embodiment of the spirit of antichrist, the Beast of the book of Revelation. He is also the Willful King of the prophet Daniel (11:36), and the man of sin, the son of perdition of the Apostle Paul (2 Thess. 2:3).  He has many names in the Bible, but he is better known as the Antichrist, the antithesis of God and His anointed King, Jesus.

Since the Antichrist Beast is released upon the Earth with the breaking of the 1st seal, I think we can reasonably conclude that the seal has not yet been broken. The person of the Antichrist is not yet active on the Earth at this time, however, the spirit of antichrist is. 

A few prophecy teachers today are declaring that the 1st seal has been broken, and they offer their arguments and proofs to substantiate their claims. But, I think if we forget the arguments and opinions, and stick with the biblical text, we can see that the seal is still intact at this point in time. The individual who is the Antichrist is not yet revealed. He is still imprisoned in Tartarus (see Rev. 9:11, and my book, Alien Antichrist).

What we are seeing in the world today is the increasing power of the spirit of antichrist.

At one time the United States was one of the most Christian nations on the face of the Earth. But since the 1960’s we have seen the increasing erosion of the Judeo-Christian standard and ethic that were the founding principles of America. Biblical Christianity is now seen by those in positions of power, such as the media and the courts, as an enemy of the state, and Bible Christians are seen as a threat to freedom and progress. This is why it is so important for those opposed to the Bible to remove displays of the Ten Commandments, public displays of faith and prayer, and other reminders of the Christian faith.

Every religion and voice in the United States is allowed except the Bible and the Christian voice; you can also see this around the world, especially in countries dominated by Islam and various other religions that deny the unique position of Jesus Christ. Think about it: why is the name of every god on Earth allowed, but at the mention of the name of Jesus Christ, the hue and cry of atheists and others is deafening, and absolutely stunning.

This is evidence that the spirit of antichrist is gaining more power and influence; and this trend will continue as we move closer to prophetic fulfillment.

No, the 1st seal hasn’t been broken yet, but we may be closer than any of us can realize. Expect the spirit of Antichrist to gain more power and momentum, and also anticipate the power and influence of deception to increase at a very rapid rate.

As Christians we do have hope, and of course our hope is found in our relationship with Jesus. The Bible instructs us to remain steadfast and continue in our faith:

2 Timothy 3:12-15

Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. But  evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

Please note: I am a little late this week posting articles and updating my blog. Last week powerful storms came through the area and knocked out my phones and Internet access. Thank you for your patience!

Also, I post comments and links to articles that you may find interesting on my Facebook page. Go there and “Like” the page, and share the articles on this page as well. Lets get the word out about the alien deception! If you looking for an in-depth study on the alien deception, then read below for information about my book, Alien Antichrist. It contains more information than I can place here, or on Facebook! Check it out, and pick up a copy at Amazon or Barnes and Noble today!

Thanks,

bookcoverimagealien-antichrist1[1]If you would like to learn more about the power of deception and the spirit of antichrist then I recommend my book Alien Antichrist, The Terrifying Truth about UFOs and Aliens, Antichrist, and the End of Days.

The book is an in-depth look at the relationship between UFO and alien phenomena and the Antichrist Beast mentioned by the Biblical prophets such as Joel, Daniel, and the Apostles John and Paul. All of them spoke about the end of days and an invasion of our planet by the Fallen Ones. Joel called them a “great army, ” and Daniel said the Beast would lead the world to worship an “alien god.”

Paul said the strong delusion of the last days will be linked with a strange sight in the heavens that is meant to be observed–and he linked this strange sight in the heavens with the Man of Sin, the Antichrist. John revealed that the Fallen Angels will be cast to the Earth, and this will be linked with fire from the heavens–with that said, did you know that angels are called ministers of fire? Are UFOs chariots of God? Or, are the UFO Chariots we see a type of angel? What are the wheels within the wheel that Ezekiel saw, and are they actually UFOs? I address all of this in the book!

Get the book and be informed, then when the aliens suddenly appear in the heavens and invade Earth you will know the truth of what is going on and won’t fall for the Great Deception. The Lord said that His people perish for lack of knowledge: be armed, be informed!

You can get the book at Amazon and Barnes and Noble. And if you have Kindle Unlimited and Kindle Prime you can download a copy free through that program!

IS EBOLA A BIBLICAL PLAGUE? by Jeff Wingo

October 17, 2014

preaching-of-christ-on-the-mount-of-olives-about-the-second-coming-1840_jpg!Blog
Preaching of Christ on the Mount of Olives about the second coming by Alexander Ivanov, 1840.
 
¶  And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be?  and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?  And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.  For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.  And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.  For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be  famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.  All these are the beginning of sorrows.
Matthew 24:3-8
Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:  So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
Matthew 24:32-33
According to the Bible there will be many signs that the time of the end is near. Now I don’t want to sound like a caricature that we are all familiar with–you know,  the man wearing a sandwich board that says, “Repent!  For the end is near!”  I don’t want to sound like an alarmist, nor do I wish
repent imageto be portrayed as some crazy end of the world cultish fear monger of the type that we have all heard about.
And yet there is something alarming I find about events in the news lately. Now, I am sure that those alive during the late 1930’s felt the same way, with the type of news that was flowing out of Europe regarding Hitler and the rise of Nazi fascism.
 Yet look where we are: The  increasing threat of war in the Middle East; terrorism and terrible pestilence in various countries of Africa; the spread of Ebola from Africa, to Europe, and on to the United States. The increasing U.S. military presence in Africa (and the presence of Chinese interests in Africa as well), and the destabilizing saber rattling coming from the Ukraine, the Crimea and other places.  In addition, both China and the United States are expanding their presence in the Asian Pacific region. It almost seems that an international nightmare is developing.
THE FEAR OF DEVASTATING PLAGUES AND PESTILENCE
Ebola and other dread plagues even seem to be increasing and growing more virulent, and most people find that rather disconcerting, and rightfully so. Obviously no one wants to become ill and possibly die, including myself. But we do live in a fallen world and pestilence like Ebola are part of it (although I have been reading lately that the current plague referred to as Ebola may in fact be something else, possibly a bio-weapon of some type).
Nevertheless, these things will be a part of the end-time experience before the return of Christ. Jesus said we would see an increase in plagues and famines, and that all of these things are the beginning of sorrows. I don’t like to hear words like that either, but He did say that is what will happen.
What if what we are seeing with Ebola turns out to be a biblical end-time plague? What if it continues to spread around the world like a devastating spider web? What if, in about a year, millions have been affected by Ebola. The consequences of that would rearrange the geopolitical landscape wouldn’t it?  That would bring war and the rumors of war that Jesus also spoke about.
Consider just for a moment the United States. Now, don’t get me wrong here, I love my country, and I do love living here. The U.S. is a beautiful place with many millions of good, hard-working people just trying to live life and raise their families. But what if the plague of Ebola spread throughout the population, thus weakening the nation, what do you think would happen? The U.S. would become completely vulnerable and the grab for worldwide influence and power among the nations would be unfathomable. I am sure that Russia, China, Iran, and others would move to rearrange the chessboard and gain the advantage, that is human nature in this fallen world.
I am certainly not expert on international politics or other international affairs. Nor am I a prophet. But I believe that a devastating worldwide plague could possibly initiate other events like war that would spin out of control very quickly, possibly leading to the Gog-Magog war that the Prophet Ezekiel wrote about (Ezekiel chapters 38 and 39). Without the United States Israel would be completely isolated and that would more than likely open the way for war with Radical Islamic elements and countries like Iran and others.
Only time will tell if Ebola is an end-time plague, but presently lets all hope and pray that God will have mercy and allow the medical authorities to slow its deadly progression. I do not look forward to the consequences if they should fail.
But ultimately our hope is in Christ; we have the hope of eternal life, and we know that the suffering of this present world is only for a moment when considered in light of eternity. Place your hope in Jesus Christ; He will rescue this world at the right time. One day He will step forth from eternity into our time and space and will renew this world and make things right.
Psalm 91:1-16
He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.  I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.  Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.  He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.  Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;  Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.  A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.  Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.  Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;  There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.  For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.  They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.  Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.  Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.  He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.  With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

EBOLA: PRIDE GOETH BEFORE A FALL by Jeff Wingo

October 16, 2014

Marseille-peste-Serre

Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall. Proverbs 16:18
Nobody is ready for Ebola, and the leadership of the United States is not ready to face this devastating plague head-on.
For weeks I have heard that we have the best healthcare in the world. We can handle this better here in the States than they can in West Africa.
Well, Ebola is here and no one is handling the situation properly. In fact, the finger-pointing has started and the blame is flying faster than a rocket to the moon.
Now we have learned that a second healthcare worker who tended to Liberian Thomas Duncan has contracted the dreaded virus. The sad part is that she flew to Cleveland Ohio and visited with relatives in the Akron area.
All of this is a bit disconcerting, and yet the pathetic dithering of the Obama Administration persists and they continue to blather on and on about how prepared we are to handle this.
My opinion is that nobody in this country is ready to handle a severe epidemic, and they never were. Truth be told, protocol was not followed in Dallas because no one expected this kind of thing to occur. And yet what should we expect?
President Obama and the head of the CDC, Dr. Thomas Frieden, have both refused to initiate travel restrictions with the Ebola stricken countries of West Africa. And now we are told that the nurse who traveled to Cleveland Ohio called the CDC to report that she had a low-grade fever; and yet she was cleared to travel on a commercial airliner from Dallas Texas?
The inept policies of this Administration know no end, or was all of this intentional? Could it be that Obama believes that the United States deserves to suffer along with the rest of the world? Or, could it be that this is designed to panic Americans into submission as the disease rages throughout our population?
Isn’t it a coincidence that all of this is happening  right before a major game-changing election in a few weeks. Is all of this designed to throw the election back to Obama and his cronies like Senate leader Harry Reid?
The shame about all of this is that the vast resources of the United States could have been used to help the people of Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Guinea in West Africa. Controls could have been implemented to help contain the spread of the virus, and resources could have been used to help the people of that region so that they could recover from the devastating impact of all of this.
But now our resources will be kept at home all the while allowing our borders to remain open. That is nothing short of insanity, a waste of resources, and an opportunity squandered. But then again, small-minded men usually think only of themselves–their hold on money, power, and other resources that could have been utilized for good, but find use only for selfish, self-centered, short-sighted goals.
As was said during the Watergate era, follow the money, that is usually where the answers lie with petty leaders and dictators.
Time will reveal the truth as it usually does. Just a few things to think about.
Thanks for visiting.

SYMBOLIC MEANING OF THE FOUR HORSEMEN OF THE APOCALYPSE By Jeff Wingo

October 9, 2014 2 Comments

The four horsemen of the Apocalypse in Revelation chapter 6, taken as a whole, provide a composite picture of the ominous ruler of end-time prophecy, the Antichrist. Each horse and rider also reveals an aspect of his character, and it also paints a vivid portrait of the Satanic endgame as well.

The White Horse

And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.  And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
Revelation 6:1-2
“The first horse reveals the Antichrist Beast as a warrior king, complete with a crown, a bow, and a white horse. In the ancient world the white horse was a symbol of conquest, victory, and triumph, and signified to the vanquished that their conqueror could not be overcome.” {1}
The Red Horse
And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.  And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.
Revelation 6:3-4
Power and authority are given to the second horse, the red horse of war, to take peace from the earth. His great sword shall plunge the entire world into war, a war led by fallen angels and sinful men. Peace will flee from the entire world as society degenerates reflecting the character of the Antichrist.
The Black Horse
And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.  And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
Revelation 6:5-6
The third seal releases the black horse of famine which always follows closely on the heels of war. In his hand is seen a pair of scales or balances which symbolizes stress and calamity.
The Pale Horse
And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.  And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
Revelation 6:7-8
The twin horses of war and famine are followed by the pale horse of death, closely followed by hell. He is called death because the Spector of Death is “pictured as a tyrant subjugating all men under his rule.” {2} Hell is pictured following because he is the king of those imprisoned there.
Once the Antichrist is released from the Abyss (Rev.9:11) this wicked army of Tartarus  will go forth “conquering and to conquer.” The name of the King of the Bottomless Pit is Apollyon/Abbadon which means destroyer, and that name fully describes both his character and his occupation.
But There is Hope 
At the end of the Great Tribulation God the Father will send forth His Conquering King!

And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.  His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.  And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.  And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.  And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.  And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.  Revelation 19:11-16

Apollyon may rule the earth during the Tribulation but Christ will return, rapture His saints, destroy the enemy, and inaugurate one thousand years of peace. The Son of David will rule the earth with a rod of iron, and all of His enemies will flee.

If you don’t yet know the King, realize that Christ died on Calvary’s cross to pay the penalty for your sin. Call upon the Lord and He will answer you with forgiveness, mercy and grace. Eternal salvation only comes to those who call upon the Lord in faith, trusting in His mercy.
But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,  Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;  Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;  That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
Titus 3:4-7

ARE THE FOUR HORSEMEN OF THE APOCALYPSE ON THE MOVE? by Jeff Wingo

October 6, 2014

Apocalypse_vasnetsov Four Horsemen of Apocalypse, by Viktor Vasnetsov (1887) {1} ***************************************************************************************

And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.  And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.  And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.  And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.  And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see.

And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

(Revelation 6:1-8)

EBOLA.  The word itself is frightening once we grasp the terrifying consequences that await the poor victims of this horrific plague. Thousands of people in the countries of West Africa are suffering and dying and thousands more may perish before it is over. And now, because of the neglect of the Obama Administration, Ebola is part of the United States, and more than likely will hit Europe as well. Unfortunately, the open border policies of the President and his Administration will end with disastrous results for the people of the United States if the plague is not contained quickly enough.

Controls could have been implemented months ago but now it is too late. And as quickly as Ebola can spread, thousands of Americans may die because of the neglect and inept policies of President Obama. Washington, Jefferson, and Madison would be rolling over in their graves if they could see what America has become in the last 25 years.

Wars, rumors of war, famine, plagues and pestilence, are making their terrible presence known in various places around the world. This situation has always been the lot of humanity, but is something looming that is even larger?

And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.  For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.  And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.  For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.  All these are the beginning of sorrows.
Matthew 24:4-8

1. War

2. famines

3. Pestilence

4. Earthquakes

For thus saith the Lord GOD; How much more when I send my four sore judgments upon Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the noisome beast, and the pestilence, to cut off from it man and beast?               Ezekiel 14:21

Humanity has always suffered through war, plagues and pestilence, and famine. That comes with living in a fallen world. But the prophetic difference is when these things become a global phenomena.

What Jesus predicted, and the scenario presented in the book of Revelation and the other prophetic writings of the Bible, are pandemics on a global scale, where millions, even several billion people may die.

Consider for a moment Revelation 9:14:  And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.

According to this one prophecy over 2.3 billion people will be consumed by war.

Or, consider Luke 21:14:  And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.

The biblical signs of the end are:

1. Worldwide war driven by powerful fallen angelic forces.

2. Great earthquakes, the Greek is megas seismos which means, “violent, mighty, and strong;” a violent shaking {2} in divers or many places, i.e., spread all over.

3. Pestilences or plagues spreading throughout a population. In this case, all over the world in many different places at once or one after another.

4. Fearful sights, or “that which strikes terror” or fear {3}, and great signs, “a sign, prodigy, portent, i.e. an unusual occurrence, transcending the common course of nature” {4}; signs indication that remarkable events are about to happen.

When you begin to see more of these things happen in close succession pay attention, because that is what Jesus was talking about, especially the fearful signs from the heavens. And what could be more frightening than an invasion by powerful supernatural beings. Fallen angels who pretend to be aliens and UFOs, enlightened beings from another planet or galaxy.

That is what my book is all about. The entire scenario is explained in depth in my new book, Alien Antichrist, The Terrifying Truth about UFOs and Aliens, Antichrist, and the End of Days. You may get a copy from Amazon and Barnes and Noble.

THE GOOD NEWS:

If you are a Christian then you may rest assured that the Lord Jesus will be with you through all of this. Whether it’s the powerful deception of aliens and UFOs, or the deadly Ebola virus, or famine, or sword. The Holy Spirit said through the Apostle Paul:

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?  As it is written,  For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.  Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.  For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,  Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:35-39

For the Christian, the Lord Jesus Christ is our hope, our steadfast anchor in the storm, our Good Shepard in the Valley of Darkness, our redeemer from all of our sin, our friend that sticks closer than a brother, our covering and shelter!

For those of you who do not yet know Christ as a redeemer and a savior just know this: God loves you and provided for you through His Son, Jesus. Come to believe the Gospel-repent and turn to the only hope we have in this dark world.

And the Gospel is this: Christ died for our sins, and was buried and rose again from the dead (1 Cor.15:1-4).  If you believe the gospel, trusting that God will do what He says he will do–He will forgive your sins, save you, and give you the gift of eternal life.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.  For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.  John 3:16-17

For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
