This specific post is actually the 1018th report that has been published, but the 1001st was the one about the latest made-up variant. But 1001 sounds more appealing than 1018.
C.1.2: Another Covid “Variant” That Is The Most Mutated So Far
Furthermore, I will not get into too many numbers, but I happily relay that The WinePress, and some of our most popular reports, have achieved over hundreds of thousands of views online; so I am absolutely elated that the reports have blessed and awakened so many people!
And I would not have been able to reach such milestones if it were not for you! The WinePress has no third-party advertising or even a dedicated social media account (though that may change eventually), so the traction this site has received is astounding. If it were not for many of you sharing the reports, advertising for us, providing great material to report on to begin with, and the generous donations to keep this work going; I would not be in this position today.
So again, I thank you very much from the bottom of my heart.
Things have timed out fairly well. Last month I updated you all with the celebration and reflection upon my spiritual birth, when the Lord saved a wretched and worthless sinner like me. This weekend I will be celebrating my physical birthday.
Because of that, I wish to let everyone know I will be taking a break for a couple of days at least. This Saturday and Sunday, and perhaps Monday too, I will be taking off.
For those that have been with me for a while, I spent a huge amount of time working on my book “The Lord of Glory” – which is currently on sale this month – that took over a year and a half at a bare minimum to research, write, and produce. In 2020, when the bulk lockdowns began, I was able to turn this draconian tyranny into a blessing, as it gave me more to focus on the book. When the book was officially released in roughly two weeks a year ago, I went right into fighting the Covid nonsense head-on. There was not much a break period whatsoever, as I began construction on The WinePress officially in late-October, early-November. The site went public on December 27th.
I have not taken a true break for a single day. Every day I had done something for The WinePress. Needless to say: I NEED a break.
I have not said this until now, but only to a few brethren that I have known for some time, that I have been dealing with a roller coaster ride of depression and anxiety. The amount of things that I have seen online have just been very vexing and disheartening. I have tried my best to encourage readers, but I am a red-blooded man like everyone else.
From the depression, anxiety, spiritual attacks, and so on; I have been totally drained emotionally, physically, and mentally. The point is, as I said, I am utterly exhausted and I need a much needed and long overdue break.
So I hope everyone can understand. I will soon return to the fight when ready, because the times we are in demand it.
In the meantime I do ask that if you could pray for myself and the continuation of this ministry. Also, as a birthday gift, I pray that the Lord could provide me the oppurtunity to witness to someone in my area that is seeking truth: kind of like Cornelius in Acts 10. It’s the Lord’s will, but I would love to try and plant actual truth into someone who wants truth.
Regardless, so many of you have written in thanking myself for the work I have put out, and I give all glory to the Lord for putting me in this ministry. It is stressful and taxing, yes, but the fruit it produces is well worth it.
[17] I have therefore whereof I may glory through Jesus Christ in those things which pertain to God. [18] For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed, [19] Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ. [20] Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man’s foundation: [21] But as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that have not heard shall understand.Romans 15:17-21
[15] For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God. [16] For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. [17] For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; [18] While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:15-18
To also update readers on the issue of donations and PayPal: I am still looking at other alternatives. My report on this proposed bill to monitor bank accounts over $600 has gotten a lot of attention online. And PayPal still keeps coming after me with notifications. So at some point I will probably make the switch and hold out as long as I can. Once these types of laws are put in place, then I will see to it that I get a P.O. Box; which will cost money if I do, subtracting from your generous donations and giving more of it back to this abominable government. Is what it is I guess.
But in short: unless an atom bomb is dropped, I will strive to stay away from the computer all together. I need to decompress, so I hope to stay away from all the nonsense.
But I have fought so hard because this is not the time to cower and quit, like so many have already done so – a LONG time ago. Now is the time more than ever to get the truth out there.
[14] Do all things without murmurings and disputings: [15] That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; [16] Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain. [17] Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all. [18] For the same cause also do ye joy, and rejoice with me. Philippians 2:14-18
Until next time, continue to stand strong in the Lord. God bless and thank you again!
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).
The WinePress needs your support! If God has laid it on your heart to want to contribute, please prayerfully consider donating to this ministry. If you cannot gift a monetary donation, then please donate your fervent prayers to keep this ministry going! Thank you and may God bless you.
God bless you brother Jacob! I hope your ministry skyrockets and millions are truly led to the Lord and the truth. You’re a hero just like Bryan and you’re my mentors.
Amen brother
Praise the Lord! This is wonderful brother! I hope you have some rest and we will be waiting! God bless you and your ministry!
Praise the Lord for you brother! Your website and the work you’ve done has opened many peoples eyes to the truth and I can see the Lord Jesus Christ working through you too, so praise the Lord for that too. I just finished reading your book ‘The Lord of Glory” the other day. I learned a fair bit from that and I appreciate the work you put it into it. I sent you an email about it a couple of days ago, not sure if you got it though. Anyway, enjoy your time off brother.
Happy Birthday and hope your time off pays many spiritual dividends for you. I think most of your readers have the same spiritual ups and downs as you are experiencing. Hang in there, you are not alone.
Happy birthday brother! Hope you have a good rest! Thank you always for your work! God bless you, too!!
Praise the Lord for the work you do! I could write an essay here, but Ill continue to pray for you and Bryan.
Thank you for all you’ve done brother. The Lord has used you mightily in my life and in the lives of countless others. I love you in the Lord, and will continue to pray for you fervently.
2 Chronicles 15:7 KJV

2 Samuel 10:12 KJV
[12] Be of good courage, and let us play the men for our people, and for the cities of our God: and the Lord do that which seemeth him good.
1 Timothy 6:12 KJV
[12] Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.
Revelation 2:26-29 KJV
[26] And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: [27] And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father. [28] And I will give him the morning star. [29] He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
“Are there no foes for me to face?
Must I not stem the flood?
Is this vile world a friend to grace,
To help me on to God?
Sure I must fight if I would reign;
Increase my courage, Lord;
I’ll bear the toil, endure the pain,
Supported by Thy Word.“
Happy birthday brother Jacob! Take that time off and relax, you’ve definitely earned it. I see just how many reports you make daily and I can only imagine how much work that is. You have done a magnificent job with this website and I thank you for it, it has been a wonderful blessing. And I’m so happy to hear that the WinePress has reached that many people! The LORD has mightily used you! I pray for the blessing and success of you and your ministry every day and I’ll most certainly continue to do so. I hope you reach millions with this ministry! Get some well-needed rest, and may God bless you always brother.
Wasn’t there a verse that said “thou shalt not too they own horn”???
OK, so you’ve posted over 1000 blog posts… so what?
Many have done this and beyond, so no need to stop and pat yerselfs on the back.
Are you SURE you’re not James White? You sure sound like him. Go get that tatooed on your arm nice & big, & then you can show people how much more righteous you are than all the rest of the Lord’s servants. (I’m sure he’ll be impressed.) Here’s one for you: Jacob said these vexing things are wearing on him…..try obeying this one: Romans 12:15 KJB Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.
You might feel better if you went and danced on Peter Ruckman’s grave, too. (I’m sure it won’t bother him now.)
You should count up all those posts just to make sure there’s 1018 of them in total. Check it over a few times, you wouldn’t wanna miss any. And take your emotionally manipulative crap elsewhere.
“thou shalt not toot they own horn”
No. Nowhere in the Bible does it say “thou shalt not toot thy own horn”. Where did you even hear that from? And why don’t you show some respect for ministers of the Lord Jesus Christ, instead of insulting them like that? Brother Jacob Thompson has spent almost an entire year coming out with reports every single day, on average about 3-5 reports a day, and I think he’s just one man doing it all for the most part. He wasn’t trying to say “hey give me money right now for my hard work, I deserve it!”, he was just simply celebrating a milestone that his ministry reached (and that by the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ) and announcing that he was going to take a little break, because he needs it. He wasn’t “tooting his own horn”, that’s a ridiculous accusation.
Let me show you what the Bible ACTUALLY says since you clearly haven’t got a clue:
1 Timothy 5:17-18 (KJV) Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine. For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward.
1 Thessalonians 5:12-13 (KJV) And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you; And to esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake. And be at peace among yourselves.
Congratulations, Jacob. I’ve wondered how you could take this day after day, and as I pray for endurance to receive it, it reminds me to pray for you all, too. It’s appreciated. You have some very good sources with information difficult to impossible for any one of us out here to find. Thank you for passing it on, & with scriptural perspective.
If you get word from Singapore, please do pass that on to me. God bless…..and let us all hope & pray for some slow news days ahead, & rest in the way. Sometimes boring is good!
Happy Birthday!
God Bless brother JT!
Truly amazing work, and glory be to God. Keeping you in prayer, JT. Thank you for all that you do.
Happy Birthday Jacob, and enjoy the much needed rest. Thank you for all the good work. God Bless
Happy Birthday. Thank you so much for everything you have put out. I cannot even fathom how much time and effort it must take for you to do all of this. You probably don’t have any time to do anything what so ever. I hope you can get some rest and I will be praying continually for you. Let us know what we all can do to help. I too have suffered terribly with depression and anxiety since I was 13 years old. It cripples me sometimes. It is a struggle every day. Thank you so much and I’m looking forward to reading your book I ordered. Happy Birthday.
