Cargo and tackle thrown overboard to stay afloat as despair and hopelessness sets in.

Acts 27:18-20

“We took such a violent battering from the storm that the next day they began to throw the cargo overboard. On the third day, we threw the ship’s tackle overboard with our own hands. When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days and the storm continued raging, we finally gave up all hope of being saved.” Acts 27:18-20

The ship was so battered by the hurricane strength winds that it was hardly able to float anymore. Those on the ship had to throw all their cargo overboard. This would include anything they brought with them and anything else on the ship that wasn’t part of the ship itself. A couple days later, the ship was still having difficulties in staying afloat, so all the ship’s tackle had to be thrown overboard. By making the ship lighter, staying afloat would be easier.

Tackle includes anything needed to make the ship operational. For example, fishing tackle includes the rod and reels, hooks, sinkers, lures, stringers, and of course the tackle box. Without the tackle, there is no fishing, and without the tackle of a ship it becomes impossible to maneuver. On top of that, the skies were covered with the darkness of night and the storm clouds, preventing the sun and stars from sharing their light, and the storms continued to rage. This makes it very easy to understand how everyone on the ship lost all hope of ever being saved.

People and cities around the world are exposed to a violent battering from the “hurricane strength winds” mentioned in the previous post called, Gentle wind became a hurricane size storm. This involves the storms of illegal immigration, crime, violence, economic, and turbulence of every type. With that, the lifeboats are severely damaged as well, as mentioned in the previous post called, Lifeboat badly damaged and brought aboard the ship. This includes the broken effectiveness of the healthcare industries, broken law enforcement, broken fire department, broken emergency services, etc. This also includes the brokenness of the churches in sharing the Salvation of Jesus Christ. Things seem hopeless in the darkness of this storm-battered world.

The peoples and nations of the world are having trouble staying “afloat”.

The solutions coming from community and government leaders to “stay afloat” are echoing the agenda and goals of the United Nations. The turmoil of the “hurricane winds” within the cities, states, and nations are enabling the United Nations to market themselves as the power broker of peace and savior of the world.

What is the cargo the nations must throw overboard to stay “afloat” while conforming to the agenda of the United Nations to be the one global government? Basically, cargo is anything that involves personal or private ownership, especially those considered to be luxury items and excesses, especially cargo of wealth. The goals of the United Nations are called the “Sustainable Development Goals”, which means to sustain nations by supplying necessities. The global government becomes the supplier to all nations whereby the demand of the population is not important. Cargo becomes much more scarce as demand is quieted and government becomes the supplier. This is the plan to lighten the global “ship” to enable peoples and nations to stay “afloat”.

Cargo also includes cash! Cash is already being “thrown overboard” by ushering in crypto currency [digital currency]. This is referred to as the, cashless society! In July of 2025, the president of the United States signed into law an order to establish the framework to prepare America for the digital currency and away from cash. This law is called the “Genius” Act. Click here for a post on the “GENIUS” Act. The cashless society will make it much more difficult to buy and demand cargo but will facilitate the supply coming from the hand of the government. Cash is rightly said to be the root of all evil, and by throwing it overboard it is believed that the global “ship” will be able to stay “afloat”. However, by clicking the link above on the “GENIUS” Act, we see how the digital currency leads to more unGodliness, not less.

As nations throw their cargo overboard, they are also expected to throw their tackle overboard as well. The tackle of a nation is basically the economic infrastructure, governing framework, the constitution of the land, religious institutions, etc. Nations are expected to throw their economic machine into the hands of the global economy. Nations are expected to restructure its governing framework to accommodate the global government, which means to diminish the two-party system to conform to one political party, one form of government, which is the global government. Nations are expected to conform their national constitution and laws to the constitution and laws of the United Nations. Nations are expected to throw their religious beliefs overboard, which includes rejecting the Living God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. The goal of the United Nations is to eliminate the tackle of political and religious boundaries to lighten the global “ship” and make itself the only political party and to replace all religions.

The global government governs by the entity that exalts itself above all things, all nations, all people, and all that is called God. This is the one who sets within the temple of God, our body, as if it is God. This is possible because the atheistic entity has the power to give people what to think, feel, say, and do. This is the one”…who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.“ 2 Thessalonians 2:4 The “he” in this verse is the “man of sin”. Click here for a post on the “man of sin”.

Under the authority of the one world government, this is definitely going to be a time of scarcity and austerity for every city, state, and nation across the globe. The global “ship” is being lightened under the pretense of keeping the peoples and nations “afloat”. People will definitely feel the pinch while living under a dark cloud, with little hope of seeing the spiritual sun of a bright day or seeing the spiritual twinkle of the stars at night. For many days the “storm” will continue. The government of the beast definitely wants to shut out the Light of the World, who is our Lord Jesus Christ. When the United Nations comes into absolute and undisputed power as the one world government, then there will be a “half hour” of silence in heaven before the events of the Seven Trumpets begin. This is described in Revelation 8. That “half hour” of silence is a period of peace and tranquility for the global government before everything begins to go wrong.

Our Lord Jesus Christ says, “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Matthew 6:19-21

“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’”
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
