The End is Near

I speak it low and often. I try to spread the word.
They hear but they don't listen, continue undisturbed.
The message is a fire burning up inside me
and though I wish it did...this fire doesn't spread.
Instead it's like a lit fuse, and I'm a powder keg.
The warnings loud and clear, you didn't want to hear
The judgments coming faster, the end so very near.
And when it all collapses, just like the crackpots said
so shocked to see it's over, that we have reached the end.
They act like I'm infected, and it may be I am
But I have been awakened, and really understand.
I'll threaten your foundations, all matter-of-fact
and sometimes you'll receive it, but mostly you'll react.
And some of you will hate me, and talk behind my back
cuz though I'm mostly even, sometimes I'm known to snap
I know that my vibration is either high or low
a seer or just crazy, there is no middle road
And all that I have suffered, it seems without reward
could not be for a lie, but even still I am ignored.
From everything I've studied, the end seems close at hand
How I wish I didn't see this, and couldn't understand.

The Parable of two Foundations

When the church was newly born, the gospel was being spread throughout the Roman Empire and beyond. At that time there were many troubles and trials, much persecution and yet there was also tremendous growth. Nowadays, Christianity is the common faith among the most wealthy and powerful nations in the world. Our faith has gone from being persecuted to being openly endorsed, and yet spiritually, modern Christianity is like a fire that has burned out, leaving only a few red embers behind.

In the first century, when Christians were beaten because of their faith, did they fight back? did they grumble under their breath? No, they openly rejoiced and praised God for their own bruises and bloodshed. They actually saw pain as a blessing, a source of growth and a confirmation of the authenticity of the spirit within them. Why?

If they were being taught by modern Christian teachers, they might have learned to take persecution with grit teeth, while filling their minds with dreams of God's vengeance. But in Acts 14:22 is says that the Apostles were going from town to town,

strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and saying, “We must through many tribulations enter the kingdom of God.”

The New Testament is absolutely full of references to the divine purpose of trials and tribulation. According to the church fathers, and to the scripture, when suffering is justified, we are being corrected, when it isn't just, we are storing up heavenly treasure. All things, even pain, work for the good of those that love God. There was no pre-trib vs post-trib debate in the days of Christ and his apostles. It wasn't assumed, it was known by the early church that the last generation of Christians would live through the great tribulation. Romans 5:1-5 is a classic teaching:

Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.

The book of 1 Peter also has wonderful teachings about the value of suffering. It is a relatively short book, and today I'd like to focus on Chapter 4 verses 12-16:

Dear friends, do not be surprised at the painful trial you are suffering, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice that you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed. If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. If you suffer, it should not be as a murderer or thief or any other kind of criminal, or even as a meddler. However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name.

What happened to America in the wake of 9-11? Did the Christian leaders of our nation teach their congregations to bless those that cursed us? To turn the other cheek, or even to look to God for their protection? No. How different would todays world be if the church leaders had taken that course? I believe it would be very different, because in the wake of those attacks, a spirit has guided the hearts of congregations throughout America. This spirit was pro-America, pro-vengeance, and literally anti-Christ.

Because of that spirit, millions of American Christians still thirst for the blood of their Muslim enemies, while sending their children and their taxes to war. They don't bother to distinguish between their enemies and people who just sort of look like enemies. They condone killing for the sake of showing superiority. How can America dare to claim to be a righteous nation with this sort of brutal treatment of others? One could argue that we are a righteous nation because of our history before 9-11, but this spirit of brutal self-righteousness was not born with the war on Terrorism. Consider the persecution of the Indians, which killed many more people than the Nazi Holocaust; consider the treatment of slaves and immigrants; consider the fact that we created and introduced the Atomic Bomb to the world. Blood is the mortar in the foundation of this "Christian" nation. It saturates our history. We also have many pagan idols filling our Nation's capital and government buildings around the country, Yet we have an assumption that God will bless America...why should He? What makes us assume that he will? My Bible says that "The Lord does not show favoritism" and "Be not deceived, God will not be mocked, a man will reap whatever he sews".

God is speaking out through the tragedies that are plaguing America right now. And he will continue to speak this way until we listen, and we change our hearts and attitudes about everything.

If this teaching is strange to you, I encourage you to press on. Read Hebrews 12 (and I will quote verses 10-13)

Our human fathers correct us for a short time, and they do it as they think best. But God corrects us for our own good, because he wants us to be holy, as he is. It is never fun to be corrected. In fact, at the time it is always painful. But if we learn to obey by being corrected, we will do right and live at peace. Now stand up straight! Stop your knees from shaking and walk a straight path. Then lame people will be healed, instead of getting worse.

Nowadays, America is showing the world exactly what the spirit of a free and supposedly Christian nation is like, and it's terribly ugly compared to that of the early church. Jesus Himself is returning just in time to save his reputation from the deeds of his professed believers. Millions have no faith, no compassion, no forgiveness, no mercy, no clear vision, no clue about the consequences of our behavior. American Christians are drunk with the wine of Babylon, and we don't even have the decency or awareness to be ashamed of our spiritually drunken behavior.

Instead, we go to church, we sing songs, we baptize our children and invoke the name Jesus as though it would help to ward God off from searching deep into our hearts and minds and finding out the selfish truth. Within the church, we do a wonderful job of reaffirming and reassuring one another, even as we wander further and further away from the true path of faith, hope, and love. Has God changed over time? Isn't the church today supposed to resemble the early church in spirit? Has anything about God's plan for the world, or the Gospel of Jesus Christ changed over the past 2000 years? Nothing in scripture has changed, but the doctrines of Christianity have been modified to support tyranny, inquisitions, crusades, and general heartlessness. One such doctrine that has poisoned the church the most is Pre-tribulation rapture. I have discussed this issue before, several times, but it's something that Christians must come to understand, if they are to be saved from the storms and troubles that will mark Christ's return.

American and Western Christians flee from suffering these days. We see suffering as punishment intended for the unjust, and comfort and wealth as the blessing of God. Tribulation is not an honor anymore, it's a terror. Why? Because of the commonly held belief in a pre-tribulation rapture. This sick, twisted, blasphemous new tradition is the greatest weapon that Satan has unloosed upon modern Christendom. Our conflict in the middle east is fueled by Christian Zionism, which exists only because of the foundational belief of pre-trib rapture. Instead of fighting against the end of days, millions of people who call themselves Christians are working to bring about the end of days. We're being used as pawns of the devil, while thinking of ourselves as the Knights of Jesus Christ. But he warned us against this poisonous thinking:

Luke 7:21-23

Not everyone who calls me their Lord will get into the kingdom of heaven. Only the ones who obey my Father in heaven will get in. On the day of judgment many will call me their Lord. They will say, "We preached in your name, and in your name we forced out demons and worked many miracles." But I will tell them, "I will have nothing to do with you! Get out of my sight, you evil people!

We are in the midst of tremendous famines, wars, pestilence etc. What's more, once the nuclear war starts, a whole long list of end-times prophecy will be filled in a very short period of time....and all of these things will happen without a rapture. Everyone will experience the tribulation; the saved as well as the lost. Those who cling to their belief in a pre-trib rapture as though it were the same thing as their faith in Jesus Christ will be devastated by the coming storm of tribulation. They will feel abandoned and forgotten by God almighty. The foundation of their faith will crumble entirely.

On the other hand, there will be Christians who had not been raised on the escapist fairy tale of the rapture, and those who have been given the grace to see it for the heresy it is. They will be Christians who suffer on behalf of others, whose hearts are broken by the pain that war and institutionalized selfishness cause. These believers will rejoice in the Lord as we witness his judgment and seek his coming, because we will recognize how Good is being called Evil, and Evil is calling itself Good. We will not just stand firm in the midst of tribulation, we will stand even taller as events get worse and the storm rages furiously around us.

And this is what Jesus meant in his parable of the Two houses:

Anyone who hears and obeys these teachings of mine is like a wise person who built a house on solid rock. Rain poured down, rivers flooded, and winds beat against that house. But it did not fall, because it was built on solid rock.

Anyone who hears my teachings and doesn't obey them is like a foolish person who built a house on sand. The rain poured down, the rivers flooded, and the winds blew and beat against that house. Finally, it fell with a crash.

Jesus has an undeniable, supernatural ability to condense intricate and elaborate truths into parables. He paints pictures with words; his parables are like encoded mysteries, meant to be dismissed by those who take them at surface value, while understood by those who have "Eyes to see and ears to hear". If you can envision the two houses mentioned in the parable above, you will notice that they seem on the surface and before trouble to be virtually identical. There is nothing to distinguish the two. They are both, by definition, houses. It is only when troubles come that the integrity of one stands, while the other crumbles. The state of our church today is in serious disrepair, because we are now in the storm. The Christians of Acts rejoiced in their persecution because their ability to withstand it was a gift from the Holy Spirit. They loved being given the opportunity to demonstrate to others how truly God had touched them. According to Jesus, there is no honor in loving those that love you, because even the heathens do that...but special honor comes when you love your enemies, when you do good to those that hurt you, when you turn the other cheek, when you go the extra mile, and obey the calling and commands of Jesus Christ.

To obey the teachings of Christ with joy is to have a solid foundation. On the other hand to simply pretend to follow him without going through the effort of establishing your foundation on the Rock himself is utterly foolish. There are none who can build on the Rock of Christ who do not obey his commands. And all who obey his commands, even without knowing that they are His, are building on the solid rock.

The storm is upon us. God is in the process of judging the entire world. People must come to terms with this because it's really happening. It's not too late for individual people to repent, but it is too late to avoid the consequences of our collective actions. The house will fall, but there is time to escape it before all the walls start crumbling down. Time is very very short, but the doors are still open.

Seek the Lord while he may be found.

Bush Declares National Emergency...AGAIN?!

On June 26th, 2008, George W Bush declared a state of National Emergency. This date marks the 3 1/2 anniversary of the Tsunami in Asia, which I have regarded as a future milestone for a few years. However, as significant of an event as it may be, it is a dormant power. I have learned that there is a marked difference between declaring a state of National Emergency, and declaring a state of Martial Law. When Martial Law is declared, we will almost definitely be aware of it. But this declaration of National Emergency came through as a whisper...nothing seems different because of it. What gives?

Martial Law is probably coming, but even still this "National Emergency" issue has a lot to do with the new dictatorship government of America. Until finding out about this declaration (thanks to Dan), and doing some research on exactly what a "state of National Emergency" means...I knew very little. Then I found this, and learned a few interesting facts (on pages 13-16). Here's the run down:

• Reagan declared "National Emergency" 6 times during his 8 years in office, while America was under the threat of the "Evil Empire".
  
• Bush sr. declared it 5 times during his presidency (4 of them had to do with the first Iraq war).
  
• All declarations by Reagan and Bush sr. were revoked by later Executive Orders.
  

Now here is where it gets really interesting:

• Despite the fact that the Cold War was over, and the only real threat to our National Security had crumbled through bankruptcy, Bill Clinton declared National Emergency 18 times!! throughout his presidency. Several False flag operations like the first World Trade Center bombing and the Oklahoma city bombing gave excuse for these declarations, but I believe that Clinton was helping to prepare America for the New World Order.
  
• Eleven of these declarations have been revoked. The other seven were never revoked, and one has been renewed every two years since 1995.
  
• Between 1-20-01 and 8-1-07, George W Bush declared a state of National Emergency 12 times, and never bothered to revoke any.
  

There is a law that was passed in 1976 that makes declarations of National Emergency expire after 2 years, unless expanded or specifically renewed. It's called the National Emergencies Act.
Even with this, The United States have been in a state of Emergency indefinitely since the end of World War 2. An interesting note: in May of 2007, George Bush changed the conditions of declaring a state of National Emergency:


Bush Declares Himself Dictator


As stated earlier, Bush declared another state of National Emergency on June 26th 2008. Was it for the economic hardships that have recently plagued our nation? No, but it could have been. Was it for the great Mississippi floods of 'o8? Again, no, but it could have been. With very little fanfare, George W Bush declared a state of National Emergency because of the Nuclear threat posed by North Korea.

These days, the political world is living more and more in the future, planning and preparing for Bush's successor, while regarding the current president as mostly harmless. It's the old bait and switch. Since Election '08 fever began, the spotlight has been taken off of Bush (just as the people weren't really paying attention to Bush before 9-11-01). 2008 is the first tax rebate bribe that we have received since 2001. and 9-11-08 will mark the prophetic seventh anniversary of the terrible day in history. I believe that something will happen on that anniversary...something that will cause the elections to be canceled and allow Bush to stay in power. This is the same rough plot delivered by George Lucas in Star Wars, Episode 3 (the rise of Emperor Palpatine). But George Lucas is probably not so much a prophet, as a history buff, who is familiar with Adolf Hitler's rise to power.

There are many startling and irrefutable parallels between Bush and Hitler. We just don't remember or know about how Germany was transformed from Democracy to Dictatorship between February 27th, 1933 and the invasion of Poland on September 1st 1939. Both events (and others between the two) are the result of false flag operations staged by the Nazis in order to allow Hitler to gain more power. This is neither a conspiracy theory, nor speculation, but is in fact a lesson from history.

People love to hold themselves in higher regard than the current leader of the free world. Bush's foolish persona has completely enchanted millions of people into "misunderestimating" him. People don't think about him as a threat or danger to the world's safety. This is insanity. But, just as today, throughout the rise of Hitler, his fury and mustache made outsiders laughingly refer to him as "Charlie Chaplin". Nobody took him seriously until it was too late.

Islamic terrorism in our time, is an elaborate hoax, consisting of false flag operations carried out by Western Governments for many years now. Like any good magic trick, the terrorist attacks that plague western nations must be planned, and set up while the people are looking elsewhere. I have been doing my best to keep watch, to see what's going on beneath the headlines and behind the scenes. But it was fellow blogger Dan who showed me this most recent, and disturbing step taken by the Bush administration. Thank you, Dan.

Floods, Earthquakes, Tornadoes, and God's Judgment

*Images Borrowed from Boston.com*

In the first week of May, this year, I was pondering on the end of days (imagine that!) and thinking about how many people I know and have talked with who are just as sure as they can be that this coming election will go off without a hitch; that George Bush may be a terrible leader, and a liar, but his rule has no significant impact on the spiritual "big picture" (because he's foolish); and that I would be a much better evangelist if I'd just lay off the politics.

In my prayer, I reminded God that I was following Him, and not "George Bush as the Antichrist". I reminded him of how frustrating it was to be compelled to share a message that very few people receive. And while the prophets of scripture were promised to experience exactly the sort of reception that I've grown familiar with, I couldn't help but feel that it was possible that my perception was misguided.

So I prayed that the Father would give me a sign, one way or another, about George Bush. I didn't want to "wait and see" (as so many that I've talked with seem willing to do). I certainly didn't want to be deceiving people unawares. And though my study of scriptures, and of current events only served to reinforce the conclusion that Bush is the Antichrist, I know that man's reasoning ability is never perfect. And that the enemy is much trickier than people tend to give him credit for.

So I prayed for God to guide me, to reassure and strengthen my spirit, to remove all doubt if it needed to be removed, or to stop me from proclaiming something that was not the truth.
Within the week, on the night of May 10th, I was compelled to write a blog post about cyclone Nagis, and the arrogant foolishness of modern people, who presume that we are more advanced than our ancestors. It was called "How long, Oh Lord?!", and in that post, I wrote the following sentences:

"(W)hat's happened to Myanmar is clearly, above all other things, a great tragedy. Even though this sort of thing is supposed to happen if George Bush is the Antichrist, I'm still stunned when I hear of earthquakes, floods, tornadoes and "mega-disasters" like Cyclone Nagis. The world is experiencing a new degree of suffering at the hand of mother nature."

I was up until about 2AM writing that post, and when I woke up the next morning, the first thing I heard about on the news was about 22 people who were killed by a flurry of Tornadoes from Oklahoma to Georgia the night before. Immediately, I remembered what was just written. But I didn't want just a confirmation of my current beliefs, so I didn't take that as a God-worthy sign. I know that God is capable of signs that are far less coincidental than that. The jury was still out.

Why did I dare to look for a sign in the first place? Because this is serious business.

The strength and power of a disbelieving majority is very great (and reinforces doubt). Likewise, the ability of our own minds to play tricks on us is a serious factor. I was determined to let God show me clearly whatever it was that he had to show. We all have to remind ourselves at times that we aren't forging this spiritual track like Luis and Clark: we aren't in the lead. We are all, instead, like sheep being led through the wilderness by a good Shepherd. This shepherd has a much better idea of where we're going than we will need. And our idea of the right path is only true when it follows the lead of our Shepherd.

I took note of the coincidence, and decided to keep my eyes peeled for earthquakes and floods in the near future. That happened on May 11th. On May 12th, a 7.9 magnitude earthquake struck China, killing tens of thousands. When I heard about that, I began to tell my house-mates, other friends and my family that America was going to experience serious floods in the near future. Seeing 2 out of the 3 randomly selected natural disasters that I wrote about come to pass within 48 hours of writing gave me boldness to prophecy about coming floods.

Between May 12th and when the current flooding began, I put a lot on the line. People in my life who are cynical of my beliefs about Bush could have used the absence of floods as a confirmation that I don't know what I'm talking about. I knew that, but felt strongly that I needed to take the risk anyway. I've never considered myself to be a prophet, because I have never gotten a "thus saith the Lord" kind of word to share with people. I write and speak about what I believe to be truth, not what a heavenly voice told me to say. But in answer to my prayer I got a word of prophecy. It was an interactive experience with God that has served to fully reinforce my beliefs that these are the last days, and that this weather is the judgment of God.

In the Bible, there are two types of prophets: those whom God sends and gives a message to, and those who deceive people and manipulate them to be at ease when they should be on guard. False prophets say "Peace, peace" when there is no peace. This happened in 2001, when the religious right sighed with relief, having restored the Whitehouse to the hands of a supposed "christian". Their assurance was shown to be as wrong as it gets within that very year.

In Christian tradition, a "word of prophecy" is a spiritual gift that can be manifested by all members of the body of Christ. A believer does not have to be a prophet in order to prophecy, but the way that we can distinguish between real and false prophets is simple: When real prophets warn people, and the people do not respond; the warnings of that prophet always come true.

Conversely, whatever a false prophet says in the name of the Lord will surely not happen.

1 Corinthians 14:1-3

"Follow the way of love and eagerly desire spiritual gifts, especially the gift of prophecy. For anyone who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God. Indeed, no one understands him; he utters mysteries with his spirit. But everyone who prophesies speaks to men for their strengthening, encouragement and comfort."

NIN "Letting You" Video!

Letting You by Nine Inch Nails:

the sky is painted black
the smoke pours out the stack
one hand upon your heart
one hand behind your back
you train us how to act
you keep the fear intact
the imminent attack
everything is right on track

and we are letting you get away
we are letting you get away with it

upon our plates to feed
the dying left to bleed
how much we really need
your politics of greed
the cancer takes ahold
the wolf is in the fold
our destiny’s been sold
we do just what we’re told

and we are letting you get away
we are letting you get away with it

your armies filled with hate
believing your charade
begin to suffocate
for us it’s far too late

and we are letting you get away
we are letting you get away with it

Bush and Blasphemy.

In Daniel chapter seven, one of the greatest end times prophecies in the Bible, there is an account of a final global empire, unequaled in strength, which spawns a blasphemous king who wages war against the saints, and is the last emperor king to rule before the world is judged by God himself. . After the vision, Daniel begs for an interpretation, which an angel provides. The following is a summary of this passage Daniel 7:23-25:

“Thus he said:

‘ The fourth beast shall be A fourth kingdom on earth, Which shall be different from all other kingdoms, And shall devour the whole earth, Trample it and break it in pieces.

America consumes approximately 24% of the energy and resources of the world, even though we have about 3% of it's population. In recent decades, the whole world has become "Americanized" to a degree in culture, and of course since we dropped our first atomic bomb, we have become an increasing threat to global peace. We help to establish dictatorships in countries around the world, as long as they are in line with our economic interests. We have military bases in a majority of countries around the world. Although the public would like to deny the fact that we are an empire...the "E" word is being used more and more frequently these days. The empire beast in Daniel 7 spawns ten horns (kings, or rulers):

The ten horns are ten kings Who shall arise from this kingdom.

Now, Stephen Hanchett was the first to point this out, but the fact makes sense. From the time that we dropped the A-Bomb on Japan, we became the undisputed, strongest and deadliest empire-nation in the world. That happened during Truman's presidency. He was the first president to rule under America's new status. So we have ten horns:
1. Truman 2.Eisenhower 3.Kennedy 4.Johnson 5. Nixon 6.Ford 7.Carter 8.Reagan 9. Bush Sr. 10. Clinton...

And another shall rise after them; He shall be different from the first ones, And shall subdue three kings.

George W Bush is diverse from the other 10 presidents in many fashions. He is the only one to engage America in a holy war (as Bush himself called it, a "crusade"). He is also diverse by never being elected president by the vote of the people. Not in 2000, 2004, (and again, in 2008 when he upsets the next presidency by declaring martial law). This is what is meant by "he shall subdue three kings".

He shall speak pompous words against the Most High, He shall persecute (some translations: wear out) the saints of the Most High, And shall intend to change times and law. Then the saints shall be given into his hand

George W Bush; President of the United States of America (and the most aggressive warlord of the 21st century) is a professed "Born Again" Christian. There's a big problem with that. Whenever a man or woman proclaims to be a Christian, he or she becomes a living representation of Christ. This is one of the central pillars of Christianity. Jesus promises transformation and deliverance to all who truly believe in him. He leaves his mark on every person who has ever known him. So, to deny that power is to deny Christ. To pretend that you have been converted, when you continue on the same path you were on before your conversion is not just a lie, but a blasphemy.

This idea may seem radical to many believers, because it runs against the method of evangelism used today. Which boils the complexity, glory, and responsibility of our faith to a creed of ‘pray the sinners prayer, and confess that Christ is Lord with your lips to be saved’.
There are a lot of comparisons to be made between sales and evangelism. To get high numbers, you have to sell the people an idea that they're willing to buy. Transformation, sacrifice, and selflessness are hard sells. So rather than be upfront with people, and disclose that these sorts of things are promised in the fine print (otherwise known as scripture), we smooth over the wrinkles, and push the more palatable religion. Modern Evangelicals tell people "If you just say that Jesus is Lord, than you are saved, case closed. It’s that simple, just sign on the dotted line and you’re in. Don't worry about change; grace has you covered. It would be better if you became nicer, but that's really not necessary. Welcome aboard!". But, unfortunately for soft-sell evangelists, Jesus himself defined what it means to love him by saying, "If you love me, you will obey my commands".

Modern pseudo-Christianity has enslaved and blinded most believers in America. The powerful promise of being made new in Christ has been lost to the cause of winning more converts. It still amazes me that at this point, after all we’ve seen and been through, many evangelicals believe that "W" was being truthful when he said that Jesus "changed his heart", gave him the strength to stop drinking, and is now leading his life. What happened to discernment? Bible reading Christians that I know and have encountered recently still believe that it's impossible for Bush to be the Antichrist, because he "confesses Jesus as Lord". This is madness!

Are Christians supposed to follow George Bush (or any spiritual leader) unconditionally? Do leaders have moral immunity or are they held to higher accountability? Why do so many ignore Bush's actions; endorse his leadership without question; allow their children to worship his image...all because he says that he follows Jesus?! A lot of Christians are willing to do just that right now, for the sake of posterity, but this is exactly the sort of thing Jesus warned against in Matt 24:24-25:

"For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. See, I have told you beforehand."

Why are we more worried about saving face than we are about adhering to truth? Why aren’t church leaders separating themselves from Bush? Where is our allegiance: Is it to God, or to those that say they believe in God? According to Jesus: “even the devils believe and rightly tremble”, and “not all who call me ‘Lord Lord’ will belong to me”. We must distinguish between tradition and scripture. We must know the scriptures to see how traditions have gone off course. We must be active in our faith, or we will be swept away by deception.

Our modern tradition paints the Antichrist as an atheist who curses Jesus openly, while declaring war on and killing conservative Christians.

I am saying that the Antichrist is a professed Christian who curses Jesus by his true allegiance, serving a god of destruction while saying that he is representing the Prince of Peace. By doing this, he is essentially making war against the church in the spiritual realm; and as long as believers follow him instead of Christ, he prevails against them. Not to mention the Christian casualties of literal wars that have been declared by this leader.

Here are a few scriptures concerning the "Antichrist"and his Blasphemy:

Daniel 7:8, 25-27

"I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things."


"And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end."

Daniel 11:36-38

"The king will do as he pleases. He will exalt and magnify himself above every god and will say unheard-of things against the God of gods. He will be successful until the time of wrath is completed, for what has been determined must take place. He will show no regard for the gods of his fathers or for the one desired by women, nor will he regard any god, but will exalt himself above them all. Instead of them, he will honor a god of fortresses; a god unknown to his fathers he will honor with gold and silver, with precious stones and costly gifts."

Is the Antichrist someone who will say that Jesus is not the true son of God with his mouth, or will he reveal that he believes Jesus is not the son of God with his actions, while preaching Christ at every opportunity? In either case, the speaker would be "Saying great and boastful things" that are against God. What would be the purpose of confessing that Jesus is Lord, while disobeying him, unless you are working to undermine his work? Long before Bush was even Born, Jesus said, “If you are not with me, you are against me”. He also said “if you are not against me, you are for me”, so he seems to take allegiance seriously, with no middle ground offered. If people aspire to obey his teachings, without knowing that Jesus taught them, they are working for Christ. On the other hand, if people disobey his teachings, even if they say they are following him, they are working against Christ.

The Antichrist is portrayed as a great deceiver, a liar. He will follow God with his lips, but not with his actions. And George Bush has used his religious rhetoric to gain and maintain support from millions of western Christians. The churches that refuse to admit that they were wrong to endorse Bush in the first place are now left spiritually confused. There is no Christian justice in seeking vengeance, in ignoring or even hurting the poor, or in persecuting people. To preach that Christ endorses this is to preach a false Christ, but the mainstream fold is continuing to refuse to point that out. Bush's leadership is poisoning the spirits of the sheep, and there are very few people who recognize that, or protest against it.

Bush’s rise to power began with sweeping and boastful bits of Christian endorsement and appeasement. Although these steps have long-since been forgotten by almost everyone in America, God has not forgotten them:

• As Governor of Texas, in 2000, Bush declared June 10th to be "Jesus Day".

• In the eve of the Iowa caucus he claimed Jesus as his favorite philosopher, when asked why, Bush said squarely, "Because he changed my life".

• While campaigning for president he confided in at least one colleague that he "believed that God was calling him to run for president". When the vote came in, and it seemed that Al Gore would be the next president, did Bush take that as a sign from God? No. His campaign instead used dirty tricks, old favors, and fancy political footwork to catapult "W" into the Oval Office.

Since becoming president "W" has also spoken on numerous occasions of the "voice of God" which guides his every move in the oval office. Jesus said that "a bad tree cannot produce good fruit, and a good tree cannot produce bad fruit". Knowing that, it should be obvious that the One True God is not guiding the president. Further, if Bush does, in fact, follow the lead of an unearthly voice, it could be that he is taking orders directly from Lucifer (or it could be that he's insane; either case should make you very uncomfortable with his command over the world's largest Nuclear Arsenal). If he's lying and doesn't hear any voices, but just does whatever he wants to, he is still guilty of Blasphemy.

We must stop ignoring the warning signs that are clearly on display before us. We must stop dismissing his words as meaningless and merely foolish, or (dare I say it?) sincere. If you still believe that Bush is a sincere, truthful man, you are lying to yourself, and to others. The spiritual impact of the Bush rule as been a devastation to the gospel. For he is actually standing within the temple (that is, the body of Christ, being not a part of it himself) and proclaiming himself to be God (By pronouncing his judgment as nothing less than divinely inspired).

A person has one of only two reasons to promote Jesus as much as George W Bush has done. It could be that he/she is a genuine Christian, who respects Jesus as the King of Kings, and is transformed by the grace of God. This person's life will show the change that has taken place in their heart. They will be much more agreeable, loving, helpful, joyful, and caring than they once were. If there is no change, there is no power, and our faith is in vain. Also if the changes brought about by conversion are minimal, and only on the surface, we have strong reason to suspect that the conversion isn’t genuine. We are commanded to test spirits and be on our guards. Let us obey that command!

The only other reason for the boastful promotion that George Bush has demonstrated is a tremendous disrespect for the power and promise of Jesus Christ; disguising one's true self behind "faith", and using the name of Jesus to promote yourself and your personal ambition. If you really study the gospels and get to know Christ, you begin to see that Bush actually hates Jesus Christ, and has been wonderfully successful at discrediting Christianity, because he claims to be the most powerful modern prophet (a man who hears the voice of God and acts on it's instruction) of Jesus Christ.

Bush's bold proclamations of faith, when compared to his actions, fit the dictionary definition of blasphemy. This type of endorsement is the proudest sort, manipulating the beliefs of others in a God you secretly believe does not exist. Only those who don't believe in an all-powerful God would dare to engage in such a shameless charade.

If you consider that George W Bush is an active participant in the mock-human sacrifices to Moloch held each summer at Bohemian Grove; that he is also an active member of Yale's Skull and Bones society (which worships the devil as well as "death"); that he has engaged America in two preemptive Wars (so far); that he has trampled on the poor and needy in order to keep his wealthy constituency happy; that he claims that God speaks through him; that he claims that he is leading the forces of "good" to destroy the forces of "evil" (by using torture and terror to accomplish his goals)...it should be as obvious as a black stain on a white cloth that Bush is a blasphemer and an Antichrist (if not, the Antichrist).

God knows the heart of every person, and takes note of the words we use. He knows a lie at the moment He hears it, and cannot be fooled. In God's eyes, it is better for a person to honestly voice their disbelief in Him, rather than endorsing Him with words, while denying Him with our every action. The most powerful wickedness always disguises itself as a force of good. Adolph Hitler did, so did the serpent in Eden.

Jesus saw with the eyes of God, right into the hearts of men. He knows our motives sometimes better than we know them ourselves. Lies disguised as worship of him are reprehensible, and clear as day.

For the rest of us, who have to take words at face value, there is this hope: Time makes the claims of every tongue clear, whether they are true, false, or outright lies. We are warned often about liars, who are wolves among the sheep. During the 2000 campaign, I remember being disturbed by how often Bush appealed to the higher power on his own behalf; and I remember knowing that time would reveal whether he was sincere, or shamelessly lying. Time has told, but are Christians listening?

Bush's rule has been defined by massive destruction, by consistent lies, by the advancement of a modern empire, and by an ever-growing gap between the rich and the poor. Everything that Jesus commanded has been forsaken under the guidance of George W Bush (not to say that the world was a very holy place before he rose to power, but since the turn of the century there has been a massive escalation of tragedy).

• Ruled by Bush, America has pursued vengeance as holy, calling the war on terrorism a "crusade" at first. Christ commanded his followers to love their enemies, forgive those that persecute us, and to overcome evil with good.

• Bush has caused the suffering of the poor to grow dramatically when he promised, as a "compassionate conservative" to help the poor.

• Bush renounced America's participation in the Kyoto Treaty, at a crucial time when environmental protection was needed most. he did this for the sake of maintaining our out-of-control consumer lifestyle.

Indeed, George Bush called on all Americans in the aftermath of 9-11 to fulfill their patriotic duty by "going shopping". We are at war, and yet we insist on living as though the war isn't happening, going on with our own lives, and leaving the mess in Iraq for someone else to clean up. What has happened to the hearts of the masses? Why are we so detached? So unaffected? So non-plussed? Is this disengagement from reality simply a side-effect of antidepressants? What would it take to wake us up to our present reality? Do the fires of hell need to reach our own back yards before we wake up and smell the sulfur?

We have experienced the most catastrophic weather in recorded history since 2000, suffered an unending strong of various natural disasters at home and abroad, blizzards, floods, fires, tornadoes, hurricanes, tsunamis, earthquakes (lots and lots of earthquakes), cyclones, dust storms. All of these categories have had record-smashing events within the past eight years. Don't just take my word for it either; if you didn't know that, do some digging.

The world has also been experience tremendous drought in many areas, increased famines (which is now a world-wide food shortage epidemic); people are increasingly violent; Wars are increasingly sadistic.

America is in some ways isolated from the darkness, but in many ways a great source of it. All of these alarming increases of tragedy have happened while George W Bush continues to insist that he's a Christian, America and goodness are the same thing, and vengeance is his, not God's.

In the 2000 campaign, Bush promised to restore integrity to the oval office, but instead he created the most fascistic, secretive, and lawless administration in American History. Despite all of this, very few seem to be willing to connect the dots. Even though on the internet a website presenting the case for George Bush being the antichrist is among the top-ranking hits, there has been no serious spiritual outcry from within the part of the church that gets the most media exposure. People aren't alarmed, or very offended, to find out that Bush is nothing but another lying politician...but rest assured of this: God is very much aware of what's going on both behind the scenes, and what’s going on in front of everyone. God is not only in the know, but in control; and God is furious.

Bush will not just slip away into obscurity, spending the rest of his days peacefully at Crawford. Everything is right on track He will continue down the road he began to take the world down, and he will surely be held accountable before the world for everything he has said and done. The world is ripe for the harvest; and God is coming to restore true justice and integrity to the earth.

2 Thess 2:9-12

The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

From the Book of Proverbs

8:13. The fear of the Lord is hatred of evil. Pride and arrogance, and the
way of evil.

10:8. The wise of heart will heed commandments, but a babbling fool will come
to ruin.

10:28-29. The hope of the righteous ends in gladness, but the expectation of
the wicked comes to nothing.

11:20-21a. Crooked minds are an abomination to the Lord but those of
blameless ways are his delight. Be assured, the wicked will not go unpunished.

12:15,17, 22. Fools think their own way is right, but the wise listen to
advice. Whoever speaks the truth gives honest evidence, but a false witness
speaks deceitfully. Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, but those who act
faithfully are his delight.

Prayer for Divine Justice. Psalm 94

O LORD, the God who avenges,
O God who avenges, shine forth.

Rise up, O Judge of the earth;
pay back to the proud what they deserve.

How long will the wicked, O LORD,
how long will the wicked be jubilant?

They pour out arrogant words;
all the evildoers are full of boasting.

They crush your people, O LORD;
they oppress your inheritance.

They slay the widow and the alien;
they murder the fatherless.

They say, "The LORD does not see;
the God of Jacob pays no heed."

Take heed, you senseless ones among the people; you fools, when will you become wise?

Does he who implanted the ear not hear?
Does he who formed the eye not see?

Does he who disciplines nations not punish?
Does he who teaches man lack knowledge?

The LORD knows the thoughts of man;
he knows that they are futile.

Blessed is the man you discipline, O LORD,
the man you teach from your law;

you grant him relief from days of trouble,
till a pit is dug for the wicked.

For the LORD will not reject his people;
he will never forsake his inheritance.

Judgment will again be founded on righteousness, and all the upright in heart will follow it.

Who will rise up for me against the wicked?
Who will take a stand for me against evildoers?

Unless the LORD had given me help,
I would soon have dwelt in the silence of death.

When I said, "My foot is slipping,"
your love, O LORD, supported me.

When anxiety was great within me,
your consolation brought joy to my soul.

Can a corrupt throne be allied with you—
one that brings on misery by its decrees?

They band together against the righteous
and condemn the innocent to death.

But the LORD has become my fortress,
and my God the rock in whom I take refuge.

He will repay them for their sins
and destroy them for their wickedness;
the LORD our God will destroy them.

How Long, Oh Lord?!

On May 2nd, Cyclone Nagis tore through Myanmar, leaving a horrific trail of destruction in it's wake. Eight days after the storm, the death toll is in the tens of thousands, with widespread reports that they could escalate to over 100,000 when this all settles down. The government of Myanmar has stated that it is willing to receive supplies from foreign nations, but it refuses to allow foreign relief workers into their country to help distribute those supplies. This bureaucratic nightmare is certain to give weight to the new/old concept of establishing a one-world government. All sovereign systems must be shown to fail before the "final solution" of a New World Order is not just accepted, but demanded by the masses.

That aspect aside, what's happened to Myanmar is clearly, above all other things, a great tragedy. Even though this sort of thing is supposed to happen if George Bush is the Antichrist, I'm still stunned when I hear of earthquakes, floods, tornadoes and "mega-disasters" like Cyclone Nagis. The world is experiencing a new degree of suffering at the hand of mother nature.

People are broken down, weary, or numb from all the prophetic stimulation that they are being exposed to. Despite this, most will either scoff, or accuse you of being insensitive or sensational if you point out the prophecies to them. But there is a spiritual storm brewing, and like it or not, it's becoming more difficult to deny. Clouds are looming, and something deep inside more and more people is becoming aware of it. But it's still a subconscious awareness. On the surface, at least in most of America, everything seems like business as usual.

What gives?

Mainstream Christians are too proud or ashamed to admit the terrible judgment call they made by rallying behind George Bush in the first place. Also, many of them are too sold out on the escapist, deceptive fable of a pre-tribulation rapture to face up to the true danger we all live in. The rapture paints the world as a stick of dynamite, ready to explode in the tribulation and many people in the church today are looking to light the fuse, not thinking of how wicked their behavior is.

Likewise, many people outside the church are too fed-up with the language of the Bible and the sour fruit of the modern church to listen to how these modern events were predicted eons ago.
They throw the baby Jesus out with the bathwater of a religion gone wrong.

But to those who are awake and yearning for the return of Christ, by this point, it can be very easy to wonder how much longer we're supposed to wait.

The early Christians were eagerly awaiting the return of Christ. Living under the horrible oppression of emperors like Nero, they held firm to the hope that their deliverance was very near at hand. Knowing this, the apostle Peter reminded those he wrote to in 2 Peter 3:8-10a

Beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is patient toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night

The significance of that specific formula (1000 years = 1 day) is explained very well on PeterZ's blog. It was also the reason that the book of Barnabas was rejected by the Nicaean Counsel. In Barnabas chapter 15 it reads

"The Sabbath is mentioned at the beginning of the creation: "And God made in six days the
works of His hands, and made an end on the seventh day, and rested on it,
and sanctified it." Attend, my children, to the meaning of this
expression, "He finished in six days." This implieth that the Lord will
finish all things in six thousand years, for a day is with Him a
thousand years. And He Himself testifieth, saying, "Behold, to-day
will be as a thousand years." Therefore, my children, in six days, that
is, in six thousand years, all things will be finished. "And He rested on
the seventh day." This meaneth: when His Son, coming, shall destroy
the time of the wicked man, and judge the ungodly, and change the-sun,
and the moon, and the stars, then shall He truly rest on the seventh
day."

The 21st century roughly marks the beginning of the seventh millennial "day" since the fall of man, and the third millennial "day" since the death of Jesus Christ. I don't believe there is a coincidence in that. And while it's true that Jesus said no one will know "the day or the hour" of his return, in the same teaching, he also said in the same passage that when the fig tree begins producing fruit, you will know what season it is. These signs:

• natural disasters
  
• wars
• rumors of war
• earthquakes in diverse places
• famine
• widespread disease
• false prophets
• false "saviors"
• the rise of a monstrous empire that calls itself a "Christian Nation"

...all of these are signs given by Christ himself that show us what season of world history we are now living in. This millennium has begun with war and great tribulation, no doubt, but it will be defined as God's rest. These "early hours" of the "third day" since Christs' death will show his body coming to life and completely conquering the death of religious institutionalism.

Jesus warned that his return would take many by surprise. That many would "be in the darkness" and not comprehend the light. However, he also went out of his way to share specific signs of his coming return, and instructing us to be ready for it. The reason why Jesus' return will be "as a thief in the night" and people don't connect the Biblical dots these days is pride.

The greatest misconception which helps people to dismiss the Bible, and has therefore helped spiritual darkness to flourish, is the idea that people living in the modern age are born more "evolved" in mind and spirit beyond those who lived in the first society to leave a written record. This causes people to falsely conclude that we can't benefit from ancient wisdom, because we are so different (and better) now than we were then. Interestingly enough, this misconception has actually plagued and blinded the masses all throughout history (while this same wisdom has always been cherished and preserved by the ruling class). Solomon, the wisest king of Israel remarked on this self deception when he proclaimed, "There is nothing new under the sun". The trap of believing that we are "further along" than those before us is pride: a moral carelessness that reduces our capacity to respect (and therefore learn from) many lessons that have been left in history.

If you would like to point to the modern technological revolution as irrefutable evidence that we are more evolved than any generation before us, then brace yourself. The Sumerian civilization, which flourished about 5000 years ago (and is one of the first cultures in written history), left behind artifacts which clearly shows our solar system, complete with Pluto ("discovered" in 1933) and a tenth planet, unknown to modern astronomers today. This solar system is accurate in it's scale and arrangement.

If you've ever seen the movie "Stargate", or spent some time wondering how the engineering of certain ancient relics still surpasses our modern engineering capabilities, you will know that there is more to history than what meets the eye.

It must be noted that the assumption of personal superiority doesn't only apply to "secular humanists", but also to "born again" Christians who assume that the life Jesus led would sufficiently replace the need for them to live in obedience to the commands of Christ; to "pick up their cross and follow Him".

2 Timothy 3:4-5 continues to describe men who thrive in the end of days, calling them

..traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!

There is a constant moral standard which has applied to humanity all throughout history. It does not change. The wrath of God is simply the consequence of wickedness thriving unchecked. We have the freedom to change, by the decree of God, but it we refuse to repent, judgment is sure to come. Wickedness is clearly and logically defined in scripture, and no amount of religious posturing can excuse truly wicked behavior. For decades the "moral bankruptcy" of America has been highlighted in church pulpits across the country. It was that issue which has been used to unite millions of church-going republicans in an effort to take over the political sphere, which they did in 2000. However the spirit released by that focus was not one of faithful vigilance, but accusation. Sin is, in the mind of the accuser, a force which exists outside the safety of their earthly refuge. The more obsessed believers become with the forces of sin, the more they tend to justify themselves, and fall victim to the sin of personal pride. Most Right-wing "Christians" still believe that George Bush is a believer, despite the many signs that God (and Bush's own actions) have given us to the contrary. In the process of trying to create a more "Christian" nation, the love of many believers has grown cold. The gospel has been twisted, stolen, misrepresented, and darkness has come like a flood against humanity, calling itself righteousness.

Rest assured of this: the Kingdom of God is not an empire of this world system. It is something completely different. It is the light of sunrise that will defeat the darkness of our current night. and it is coming very, very soon.

NIN "Capital G" = The Antichrist!

The evidence that George W. Bush is operating under the influence of a dark spirit is everywhere.
The man is, quite literally, an "Abomination that Causes Desolation"; a "Lawless One". If you don't believe me, you simply haven't been paying attention to his presidency.

Injustice and the suffering of others causes pain, and inspires awareness only in the people who haven't been completely shut off from their neighbors by a hardened heart. God is not in the Oval Office. Hypocrisy is a joke, to anyone outside of the sphere of it's influence. Mainstream Christians have lost their spiritual lives for the sake of "staying in the fold". This increase in unrighteousness is a repeat of history. All the terrible things that have defined his rule, and the early hours of this millennium...were predicted precisely, thousands of years ago!

Rest assured, this is a great time to rebel against injustice, to yearn in hope for a better world. Spiritual darkness is plaguing the world because it's about to be cast out! The devil, and his Antichrist, are in a race against time...but it's a race they are destined to lose.

NIN "The Slip" Lyrics.

(Full Lyrics Below Review)

Alright. For three years now, I've been running a blog about George Bush being the Antichrist, and Trent "Capital G" Reznor releases an album in the final, impeachable hours of his official presidency with an album entitled The Slip (available for free here!), and I'm not going to blog about it?! Think Again!

Although it is not as apocalyptic as last year's Year Zero, this new, hard and surprisingly fresh 10 track free album still points a very sharp nail at the incredible antics of our fearless, foolish, demon-worshiping leader. The most notable song is "Letting You", which is Trent Reznor basically screaming at America ,

"What the f@*& is wrong with you? with us? Why are we taking this from him? Are we just in a trance? Why are we letting Bush get away with this?".
Did I just put words in Reznor's mouth? More or less, but the message of "Letting You" is clear, and very, very loud.

And it raises a good question that shouldn't be ignored. Why, exactly, are we letting him get away with this? What does that say of our character as a nation? As a global community? It's true that Hugo Chavez called Bush The Devil in 2006, in front of the UN. Also, lots of people in the online underground have been pleading the legal, moral, rational, and spiritual case against Bush for years now...but as a nation we have accepted from our Democratic leadership that Impeachment is "off the table". Why? How does such a foolish man's power extend so very far?

"Discipline", the song that follows "Letting You" continues the theme of impeachment. It also has very strong BSDM undertones. But if you imagine America (or congress) as the submissive in this song, and Bush as the out-of-control sadist, and you compare that analogy with the history of his rule, you see a chilling parallel.

"I need your discipline, I need your help. I need your discipline, because once I start I cannot stop myself".

Reading that makes me think that Trent Reznor, just like Willie Nelson, and hundreds of thousands of vigilant people around the world, believes that Bush might pull some sort of false flag operation, cancel the elections and stay in power if he's not impeached.

In case you didn't know, it should be pointed out that All-American Concentration Camps (brought to you by Halliburton) have already been built, the laws have been shuffled around to support such a surprise political attack from the current regime.

For those who have ears to hear, let them hear!


1,000,000

kind of hard
hard to see
when you crawl
on your hands and your knees
with your face
in the trough
wait your turn
while they finish you off
don’t know when it started
don’t know how
should have found out
should have happened by now
got these lines
on my face
after all this time
and i still haven’t found my place

i jump from every rooftop
so high so far to fall
i feel a million miles away
i don’t feel any thing at all

i wake up
on the floor
start it up again
like it matters anymore
i don’t know
if it does
is this really all
that there ever was?
put the gun
in my mouth
close your eyes
blow my fucking brains out
pretty patterns
on the floor
that’s enough for you
but i still need more

i jump from every rooftop
so high so far to fall
i feel a million miles away
i don’t feel any thing at all


LETTING YOU

the sky is painted black
the smoke pours out the stack
one hand upon your heart
one hand behind your back
you train us how to act
you keep the fear intact
the imminent attack
everything is right on track

and we are letting you get away
we are letting you get away with it

upon our plates to feed
the dying left to bleed
how much we really need
your politics of greed
the cancer takes ahold
the wolf is in the fold
our destiny’s been sold
we do just what we’re told

and we are letting you get away
we are letting you get away with it

your armies filled with hate
believing your charade
begin to suffocate
for us it’s far too late

and we are letting you get away
we are letting you get away with it



DISCIPLINE

am i still tough enough?
feels like i’m wearing down
is my visciousness
losing ground?
am i taking too much?
did i cross a line?
i need my role in this
very clearly defined

i need your discipline
i need your help
i need your discipline
you know once i start i cannot help myself

and now it's starting up
feels like i'm losing touch
nothing matters to me
nothing matters as much
i see you left a mark
up and down my skin
i don't know where I end
and where you begin

i need your discipline
i need your help
i need your discipline
you know once i start i cannot help myself

once i start i cannot stop myself



ECHOPLEX

nice and high and far apart
just like they said
i built this place with broken parts
just like they said
you chip away the old version of you
you'd be surprised at what you can do
i'm safe in here
irrelevant
just like they said

my voice just echoes off these walls

you feel me breathe
i am watching you
i see it all
the many ways you can't get to me
i see it all
i see the hell you put yourself through
oh the things i could do (if i wanted to)

my voice just echoes off these walls
i don't need anything at all
my voice just echoes off these walls

and i just slowly fade away

you will never ever get to me in here



HEAD DOWN

you
what you looking at?
head down
too late for that
what you want
what you get
know your place
don't ever forget

and this is not my face
and this is not my life
and there is not a single thing here
i can recognize
this is all a dream
and none of you are real
i'll give anything
i'll give anything

hey you
what you running from?
all your hate
what you've become
bet you didn't think
it would happen to you
all used up
half way through

and this is not my face
and this is not my life
and there is not a single thing here
i can recognize
this is all a dream
and none of you are real
i'll give anything
i'll give anything


LIGHTS IN THE SKY

she's mostly gone
some other place
i'm getting by
in other ways
everything they whispered in our ear
is coming true
try to justify the things
i used to do
believe in you

watching you drown
i'll follow you down
and i am here right beside you
the lights in the sky
have finally arrived
i am staying right beside you

i tried to stay away
you know
just in case
i've come to realize
we all have our place
time has a way you know
to make it clear
i have my role in this
i can't disappear
or leave you here

watching you drown
i'll follow you down
and i am here right beside you
the lights in the sky
are waving goodbye
i am staying right beside you

what this is all about
now i know
exactly what i am

there is a seed
inside of me

it's growing now

The 3rd Seal of Judgement and the Price of Bread

Revelation 6:5-6

When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, "Come and see!" I looked, and there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, "A quart of wheat for a day's wages, and three quarts of barley for a day's wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!"

Recently, the issue of hyper-inflating grain prices around the world has raised to the surface of America's 24hour news sources. Why? Because the people who have to pay a day's wages to get a loaf of poor-quality bread are hitting the streets en-masse all over the world, rioting in protest. The media here at home is known for it's incredibly short attention span, with natural disasters and other terrible events forgotten usually within the span of a week, but this "story" will not go away easily. So what's really going on?

The simple, obvious answer is that we have too many mouths to feed on the planet. But there is a sinister influence at work; and the food crisis is actually part of a multi-leveled plan to make the population of the world demand from their leadership a one world government. How could something like this be planned? By using food crops to create fuel alternatives; by continuously restricting the flow and price of oil; by establishing infrastructures throughout the world that are increasingly import-dependent; by patenting life and inventing the antithesis of God's gift of food: terminator seeds. This current crisis is partially a genocide of the poorest, and partially a talking point to support the establishment of a New World Order. Without crisis or chaos there is no reason for the people to demand security.

Right here and now we are living in the the early stages of an age of mass enlightenment, and because of that, the elite leaders of the world are racing against time to establish their New World Order before we become aware enough to realize that what they will showcase as a plan of security is, in reality, the enslavement of the masses. Citizens of America are kept insulated from the suffering of the world to ensure continuous consumer spending (the life-blood of our society), and to downplay our role in perpetuating suffering in the rest the world. Shocking events are quickly mentioned by ever-smiling, young and attractive news anchors who keep moving right along from one topic to the next. We're too busy or apathetic to bother connecting what dots we are given. This is one of the main reasons why many Americans think it's a joke to point out that George Bush has fulfilled many prophecies concerning the antichrist, and that the world is experiencing the signs and wonders which mark the end of days. Right now the third horseman of the apocalypse is riding out upon the earth, and a voice from heaven is inviting us to "come and see" it, not to look the other way.

In America, mainstream believers (who are wonderful consumers) feel that the end of days will be recognized by their oppression and suffering. They believe this because it is foretold that the world would be under great oppression from the Antichrist Empire, and they have been blinded to the idea that the "land of the free and home of the brave" could be that evil empire. We are well-fed and thoroughly entertained, just as the Germans were during the rise of the Third Reich.

America calls itself a "Christian Nation" under the rule of George W Bush more than it ever has before. Multitudes wear their "faith" in the Bible as some sort of badge of honor. But it's all a sham! Nobody has the time to study, let alone read the Bible. The most often answer I get whenever I ask a mainstream Christian if they read the Bible is, "Not as much as I should". I have learned that this response is code for "barely, if at all". Millions of my fellow citizens proudly claim to have "found repentance"; to be friends of Jesus. But when you look at the spiritual fruit that America produces, you can clearly see that these claims are lies. How dare we print "in God we trust" on our money when we consistently trust in and serve capitalism above the one true God? What excuse do we have when we stare down the consequences of our selfish-faithless-vengeful actions which have driven our country towards the gates of hell (not to mention constitutional crisis) since September 11th 2001, and we still refuse to change our ways?

The truth is that our nation is the great beast that rises up out of the sea in Revelation 13. America is the great Babylon that falls in Revelation 18. Until the time comes for us to fall, we will be comfortably and selfishly separated from the suffering we continuously cause in the world. Even our own citizens who have suffered from natural disasters here at home are put out of the minds of most. There is, of course, a remnant of people living in America who aren't detached from the suffering, and who have been continuously distressed by the unresponsiveness of the rest, but they are accounted for in prophecy as well. God's plan is unfolding exactly as He said it would.

That being said, let's take a closer look at what the "four horsemen" of the Apocalypse are all about.

Rev 6:1-2

Then I watched while the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. I heard one of the four living creatures say with a voice like thunder, "Come and see!" I looked, and there before me was a white horse. The rider on the horse held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out, determined to win the victory."

In 1999, the world was introduced to George W Bush as a candidate for American president. During his campaign Bush pledged to restore integrity to the oval office, if elected. Unfortunately, he has shown himself to be a man entirely void of integrity all throughout his rule, and his determination to "win victory" overshadowed the little fact that he wasn't elected president. His attitude in the aftermath of the 2000 election was reprehensible, at best. By the power of Satan, he was given his crown of leadership, and this false savior has inspired the wrath of God by disguising his power-grab under the sheep's clothing of Christianity. Revelation 19:11-16 describes Jesus Christ as riding on a white horse, with a crown of many crowns on his head. The first horseman and Jesus are two mirror opposites of one another. Jesus is the prince of peace, so the antichrist is the prince of war.

Rev 6:3-4

When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come and see!" Then another horse came out, a red one. Its rider was given power to take away peace from the earth and to make people kill each other, and he was given a big sword.

By taking an honest look through the history of this century, can there be any doubt that these characteristics began to manifest themselves on September 11th, 2001, and that this horse of warfare and empirical conquest is still riding throughout the world? At the Nuremberg trials, where the Nazis confessed to burning their own Parliament building to the ground (and blaming it on terrorists) in 1933 to justify their military agression to their own citizens, high-ranking Nazi Herman Goering said this:

“Naturally the common people don’t want war. But after all, it is the
leaders of a country who determine the policy, and it’s always a
simple matter to drag people along whether it is a democracy or a
fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship.
Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of
the leaders.  This is easy.  All you have to do is tell them they are
being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and
for exposing the country to danger.  It works the same in every
country.”

The empiricists have been quite open since the inception of the War on Terror that it would last for a very, very long time. And a consequence of this ongoing war is the redistribution of wealth at an alarming rate from the mouths of the many to the pockets of the few.

Rev6:5-6

When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, "Come and see!" I looked, and there before me was a black horse, and its rider held a pair of scales in his hand.Then I heard something that sounded like a voice coming from the middle of the four living creatures. The voice said, "A quart of wheat for a day's pay, and three quarts of barley for a day's pay, and do not damage the oil or wine!"

This horseman has recently ridden out. It is black, the color of crude petroleum. "Oil and wine" in this context actually represents both the mark of the Beast and the mark of the God. On one hand, the instructions not to "damage the oil or the wine" is symbolic of the great disparity between the ruling class, and the rest of the world. "Oil" represents standard and new bio-fuels; wine represents the wine of Babylon (the "global market"). On the other hand, "Do not harm the oil or the wine" is a parallel to the protection promised to those who bear the mark of God in the last days. Revelation 9 discusses a plague of locusts who emerge from the bottomless pit, and verse 4 says, "They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any plant or tree, but only those people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads." Psalm 104:15 tells us that by God's blessing we are given: "wine that gladdens the heart of man, oil to make his face shine, and bread that sustains his heart." It is no coincidence that Jesus called himself the bread of life.

This food crisis will not end in peace, a solution will not be found by the "them" that we have entrusted to govern us and keep us secure. According to the Illuminti ten commandments (called the Georgia Guidestones), the Earth's population must be slashed to a steady 500,000,000 people. That means that over 6.5 billion people now living in the world have been sentenced to death, not just by war, but by starvation, by disease, and by being abandoned to the natural elements.

Rev6:7-8

When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, "Come!" I looked, and there before me was a pale horse. Its rider was named death, and Hell was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill people by war, by starvation, by disease, and by the wild animals of the earth.

This plan is very real, and is even now being manifested in the world. Do not rest assured in your safety because a third of the earth's water hasn't yet been turned to blood, or the sun has yet to turn black as sackcloth etc. All of these things will happen in their time (and I believe those signs will happen in a very short period of time, perhaps in one terrible day). Don't look ahead to what will happen soon, but look around at what is happening now!

When the fifth seal is broken, the saints who are dead in Christ are allowed to voice their impatience; they are given white robes to ready themselves and told to wait a little while longer.
It is during this time that I believe a new wave of empowered believers will go throughout the world preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God. Only when the sixth seal is broken do the following signs take place:

Rev6:12-17

Then I watched while the Lamb opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake. The sun became black like rough black cloth, and the whole moon became red like blood. And the stars in the sky fell to the earth like figs falling from a fig tree when the wind blows. The sky disappeared as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved from its place. Then the kings of the earth, the rulers, the generals, the rich people, the powerful people, the slaves, and the free people hid themselves in caves and in the rocks on the mountains. They called to the mountains and the rocks, "Fall on us. Hide us from the face of the One who sits on the throne and from the anger of the Lamb! The great day for their anger has come, and who can stand against it?"

This seal cannot be reached or broken until the ones before them have been broken by the Lamb. There is an undeniable order to this pouring forth of judgment. And we are now suffering under the rise of the third horseman, with two seals remaining between now and Nuclear Armageddon (the 6th seal).
