In 2019, the autumnal equinox—also called the September equinox—is Monday, September 23.
Yes, today marks the first day of fall–in the NORTHERN HEMISPHERE.
In the SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE, September 23 is the first day of SPRING.
To the pagans, the autumnal equinox is also known as Mabon.
On or around September 21 (or March 21, if you’re in the Southern Hemisphere), for many Pagan and Wiccan traditions it is a time of giving thanks for the things we have, whether it is abundant crops or other blessings. It’s a time of plenty, of gratitude, and of sharing our abundance with those less fortunate.

Origins of the Word “Mabon”: There is a lot of spirited conversation in the Pagan community as to where the word “Mabon” originates. While some of us would like to think that it’s an old and ancient name for the celebration, there’s no evidence to indicate that it’s anything other than modern.
—Mabon: The Autumn Equinox
Where did the term “Mabon” come from?
There are a number of stories told by the pagan.
This festival is now named after the the God of Welsh mythology, Mabon. He is the Child of Light and the son of the Earth Mother Goddess, Modron. In truth, there is little evidence that Mabon was celebrated in Celtic countries and the term Mabon was applied as recently as the 1970’s. All part of our reconstructed Paganism…
—Mabon/Autumn Equinox September 21st-22nd
For the next THREE years (2020, 2021 and 2022), the autumnal equinox will be on September 22.
The pagans have many suggestions for celebrating Mabon.
Druids used this time of year to honour the god of the forest, The Green Man. He is a symbol of life, nature and divinity. Pagans see the Green Man as a symbol of seasonal renewal. The Green Man is seen as a representation of The Horned God, which is viewed as the masculine side of divinity.
The world has spent significant resources–particularly in the Corporate Media (Satan’s Mouthpiece–in promoting Mabon to the public (which is one reason the reader has likely heard of this pagan holiday).
DOES the reader have any guesses as to why Mabon is more openly celebrated in the end times than previously?
HOW many does the reader know who openly celebrate this day?
It is not YET too late: there is still time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”

Though the end times most often prove to be a time of unsettling changes and disruption, the end times may also prove to be a time of OPPORTUNITY.
Such are the times in which we now live, which are providing the opportunity for man to observe the dawning of a NEW RETAIL system.
Retail has pretty much been the same since man began to desire goods and services other than those which he might provide himself: one visits a place of business which sells what one desires. When a product (or service) is located which the customer desires, the good is then exchanged for some sort of money OR another good which the seller himself desires and which the customer can provide (barter).
In short
Man wants something.
Man finds that something.
Man exchanges his money for that something.
Man moves on to something else.
One of the key components of traditional RETAIL SALES has always been the retail sales ESTABLISHMENT: the shop. In traditional RETAIL SALES, a man enters a shop–where goods have been accumulated which are popular with customers–and picks up an item to buy. He brings the item to the cashier, who takes the man’s money and gives him a receipt of the transaction.
However, in the times in which we live, the reader has been an observer as a NEW RETAIL SALES system has been put into place.
This NEW RETAIL SALES system involves the customer locating something he desires (usually online using the Internet), ORDERING that something (usually online using the Internet), the seller verifying the customer’s identification and ability to pay, and then, after the seller receives his money, the seller ships the customer whatever it was the customer ordered.
The NEW RETAIL SALES system is different from the traditional version in that the NEW RETAIL SALES system 1- eliminates the need for a human cashier (which also frequently operated as a contact point for the customer for information, complaints and returns.); 2- Adds a layer of verification the buyer must meet before being sold his goods. Since all sales over the Internet involve electronic forms of money, the buyer’s identification as a legal user of his electronic money is required; and, 3- There is a time period between when the buyer is charged for his purchase and when his purchase actually is in the buyer’s possession.
To facilitate the acceptance of this NEW RETAIL SALES apparatus, sellers will often 1-offer goods for a discount over what the OLD RETAIL SALES system offers; 2- absorb the shipping charges associated with delivering their product (this will end once the old retail system is no longer operable); 3- make the return process as buyer-friendly as possible. The seller will usually accept ANY and ALL returns and then credit the customer’s account; and, 4- make the entire remote retail experience so buyer-friendly that there are few legitimate complaints. This will be the case until the OLD RETAIL SALES system is no longer functional.
In the OLD RETAIL SALES system, when a shop found something which meant increased business, the shop kept this feature in place. In the NEW RETAIL SALES system, when an online retailer finds something which customers like, the online retailer will keep this feature in place UNTIL the old system is no longer a competitor. THEN, the feature is discarded–particularly if the feature costs the retailer any money to maintain.
There are several steps to doing away with the old system and installing the new system.
1 – Build a LARGE seller of goods which utilizes the NEW RETAIL system.
2- Dismantle the old system. This usually is performed in several stages. First, the stores offer less selection. Then, the stores offer their own NEW RETAIL SALES experience. Finally, the stores close.
3- Offer the NEW RETAIL SALES experience EVEN WHEN THERE IS NO DEMAND FOR THE NEW SYSTEM. Provide information that NEW RETAIL SALES are vital and growing.
4- Finally, the stores (which represent OLD RETAIL SALES) all close and online sales (which represent NEW RETAIL SALES) is all there is. This FORCES customers to utilize the NEW RETAIL SALES system.
By now, the curious reader is wondering why this transparent change from a system which has worked well since man was created to a completely new system for the end times?
The short answer is: it facilitates a system which more rigidly controls who it is who buys and sells.
It more completely monitors all who wish to buy–and sell.
“And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.”
–Revelation 13:16-18
Has the reader had the opportunity to observe any of the above?
“House Speaker Paul Ryan was at the airport and didn’t recognize a three-year congresswoman from Massachusetts. And even asked her, “So what do you do?” Ryan realized she was a congresswoman when she answered, “Nothing.”

Try to distance vegetarian and vegan diets from healthy lifestyles in your mind—if you want to be healthy, remove heavily processed foods and added sugar from your diet and spend 30 minutes a day exercising.
The government is here to HELP you! Just like it did when it made it sooooo…. easy to sign on the dotted line to sign your future away by getting those insidious student loans in the first place.
Young Americans continue to put financial chains around their lives by running up huge debts to train for jobs that no longer exist. Many do it because they see their friends doing it–and they are at a loss for alternatives.
However, the choices to stop adding to their incredible debt are not attractive: students would then have to make decisions about their future NOW–instead of kicking it down the road a few years while living on the government-sponsored welfare system for college kids.
Is it any wonder that many run up $15-50,000 tabs each year? Most have no realistic chance of paying off these huge debts.
But college-age students are at a loss for what to do.
So, they soldier on, piling up obligations and eventually GRADUATING!
Where they take minimum wage jobs–if they are lucky–trying to make enough to live. For many, this is not possible. So, they step up to the real government dole for adults. Many are forced to move in with Mom and Dad–if that’s even an option.
Anyone who suggests that this is madness in today’s changed world is “grouchy,” “too pessimistic” or just plain “mean.”
Those who urge college age kids onward in their march to slavery are “supportive” and “forward-looking…”
…and responsible, if only in a small way, for the enslavement of a generation.
“New research found that pigeons can actually be taught to read. And once the researcher finished teaching the pigeon, the first thing it wrote was, “Get a life, man.”
–-Jimmy Fallon (2016)
Satan’s Mouthpiece (the Corporate Media) has always had a problem: what to do when too many of the rich and celebrated have NOTHING “newsworthy” to do. When the media gets tired of reporting what the rich and celebrated are wearing, they turn to the tried-and-true method of of fake “feuds” to generate cheap, plastic “news.” One popular singer’s entire marketing campaign over the years seems to have been based on engaging in one “feud” after another. But, as the victims appear to be primarily the singer’s “fans,” it’s hard to get too worked up over the ruse.
Sports, politics and celebrity culture–wherever the rich and celebrated congregate: these are the arenas where readers can most often find stories of “feuds.”
Oh–and pro wrestling…
One can depend on those who labor for the mystery of iniquity to act, in not only an EVIL manner, but also in a very repetitive one as well.
Case in point: when two followers of Satan are working together, one of the first things they do is establish that they 1-do not like each other; 2- they hate each other; or, 3- are fighting against one another.
Democrats and Republicans, Russia and the USA, members of the same family who toil together for evil ends, famous celebrities who are “feuding” with each other: it happens so often, one occasionally has to wonder,
“Does Satan have a university or school where he teaches his followers these tricks?”
—-University of Satan?
Does the reader believe the world is becoming more of a “nice” place OR is the reader convinced the world is increasingly evil?
Is “dog-eat-dog” an accurate description of modern man?
What does God’s Word have to say?
“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.”
–2TIMOTHY 3:1-5
“For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law; a man’s enemies are the men of his own house.”
–Micah 7:6
“And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death.”
–Matthew 10:21
The disinterested observer might label the above descriptions as “ruthless self-interest.”
If the reader cannot see that society and the culture have increasingly become interlocking components of a dog-eat-dog world, then do not fret.
“It’s rumored that Brad Pitt had been cheating on Angelina Jolie with an actress who looks like a young Angelina Jolie. As a result, he’s about to have the bank account of a young Brad Pitt.”

Pope’s blunt words break new ground again – Francis insists that ‘the church has been too focused on abortion, gay marriage and contraception and suggests finding a “new balance” to deliver the Roman Catholic message.’
One suspects that the Roman Catholic “message” is whatever furthers the ages-old goal of the popes: rule of the secular by means of the spiritual.
One of the Corporate Media’s favorite ploys is to convince readers to go along with something in order to be a part of some “historic” event.
Remember Obama’s election?
Americans were told to celebrate: it was”Historic!”
This pope is truly in a position to be “historic.”
Especially for those few who rely on their Bibles for history, past, present and future.

MEDIA NARRATIVES ALERT
“How can the reader know when the Corporate Media is lying to him (never mind the fact that the media is Satan’s Mouthpiece and Satan is the father of lies)? One easy way to tell is the use of “Why” and “How” in the headlines of an article. When the reader sees “Why?” or “How?” in the headline–occasionally “What” is used–that which follows will be a fairy tale, a narrative, a bedtime story spun by the media for the benefit of the media’s master. “Why” usually denotes an on-going narrative; “How” signifies a story line which explains past events. Not all narratives begin with “How” or “Why.” However, the most in-your-face, over-the-top ones usually do. ALL political “news” is narrative.
“American journalism (like the journalism of any other country) is predominantly paltry and worthless. Its pretensions are enormous, but its achievements are insignificant.”
― H.L. Mencken
“Things are never quite what they seem. Events are seldom close to how the media and history portray them.”
“It is a free press…There are laws to protect the freedom of the press’s speech, but none that are worth anything to protect the people from the press.”
–Mark Twain, speech: License of the Press
“If you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it, and you will even come to believe it.”
—Joseph Goebbels, Nazi Minister of Propaganda
“Journalists” are story-tellers. Nothing more, nothing less. Sometimes, there is an element of truth in their stories, but truth is not a requirement of what they do.
Very few clues exist about the lives of the Denisovans — cousins of Neanderthals — who went extinct around 50,000 years ago: three teeth, a pinky bone, and a lower jaw.
In any given month, nearly one out of six prime working-age men (ages 25 to 54) in America have no paid work. That number is not a typo. It’s not some “shadow stat” or “unskewed” result. It is drawn from straightforward calculations from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. But many of these men are not counted as “unemployed” in our statistics. The vast majority of them would not even qualify as “discouraged workers” who cease looking for jobs because of difficulty in finding work.
Gee, “millions of men (not) working” seems to contradict the nearly-daily indoctrination about how the US economy is at record unemployment.
IF one is set on becoming an accomplished liar, one MUST remember the lies one told previously.

Now, does the reader have any speculation as to why the pagan holidays are so promoted and emphasized by the media?
Yes, these pagan holidays have ALWAYS been promoted by the world–but in a sly, undercover way; usually on the order of mentioning the “first day of summer” or the “first day of winter” or “Groundhog Day.”
But in the times in which we now live?
Not only are these days given MUCH attention by the media and entertainment, they are specifically featured as PAGAN HOLIDAYS–“holiday” meaning “holy day.”
One would think that with a year-round celebration of all things pagan–including witchcraft and sorcery–that it might be hard to keep insisting that America is a “Christian nation.”
And this would be difficult–IF one was not deceived.

“License” and “liberty” are two completely different concepts, but many Americans believe them to be the same. Those very same Americans look around and cannot understand why things are waxing worse and worse.
“Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.”
–Galatians 5:19-21
“The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.”
—Psalm 2:2-3
The United States of America has ALWAYS been about breaking the bands of Jesus Christ asunder. But the plan was NEVER for the USA to be a land of no chains; the plan was ALWAYS about, once those chains of God Almighty were broken, forging new bands to replace the ones that fake, professed Christianity imposed.
Not willing to submit to the yoke of Jesus Christ, a new yoke will be substituted which will be much more restrictive.
“For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” –Matthew 11:30
Too late will Americans be made aware of the exchange they have been deceived into making on the matter of yokes, chains and bands.
Too late will Americans discover just exactly how many “rights” they possess under “We the People.” They will discover how powerless they really are under this antichrist fiction in which they have placed their trust, hopes and dreams.
Too late will Americans find out that the worship of human reason and the elevation of the puny human intellect is no substitute for the truth of the Word of God.
Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.”
–1Corinthians 2:12-14
Too late.
“Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.”
–Colossians 2:8
“An Arby’s in California is offering customers free Arby’s tattoos. It’s a perfect way for people to show they don’t care about the inside or the outside of their body.”

Satan’s Mouthpiece (the Corporate Media) has always had a problem: what to do when too many of the rich and celebrated have NOTHING “newsworthy” to do. When the media gets tired of reporting what the rich and celebrated are wearing, they turn to the tried-and-true method of of fake “feuds” to generate cheap, plastic “news.” One popular singer’s entire marketing campaign over the years seems to have been based on engaging in one “feud” after another. But, as the victims appear to be primarily the singer’s “fans,” it’s hard to get too worked up over the ruse.
Sports, politics and celebrity culture–wherever the rich and celebrated congregate: these are the arenas where readers can most often find stories of “feuds.”
Oh–and pro wrestling…
One can depend on those who labor for the mystery of iniquity to act, in not only an EVIL manner, but also in a very repetitive one as well.
Case in point: when two followers of Satan are working together, one of the first things they do is establish that they 1-do not like each other; 2- they hate each other; or, 3- are fighting against one another.
Democrats and Republicans, Russia and the USA, members of the same family who toil together for evil ends, famous celebrities who are “feuding” with each other: it happens so often, one occasionally has to wonder,
“Does Satan have a university or school where he teaches his followers these tricks?”
—-University of Satan?
It is fairly well-known that Christians will endure much persecution, tribulation and hatred during the end times.
“Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.”
–2TIMOTHY 2:13
“Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.”
–Acts 14:22
“Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.”
–1JOHN 3:13
“And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household.”
–Matthew 10:36
So, to the non-believer, the question then becomes “Is there any advantage to being a follower of Jesus Christ?”
Despite the surety of trials and troubles undergone in this present world–perhaps, because of these persecutions–there are several BIG reasons to be a born-again Christian believer. Among these are:
1- ETERNAL SALVATION
Of course the biggest advantage of being a Christian (as opposed to a church member) is eternal salvation. This is an eternity spent with God and Jesus Christ in such a splendid state of bliss, God’s Word assures us that the mind of man cannot even imagine all of the happiness experienced.
“But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.”
–1CORINTHIANS 2:9
“For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him.”
–Isaiah 64:4
2- PEACE OF MIND
Unless one has suffered the torment of a restless mind, then one cannot imagine the full benefits of God’s peace. This lack of peace–which is the promised lot of the wicked and/or foolish man–is such a certainty, it is declared THREE TIMES in the Book of Isaiah alone.
“But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt.”
–Isaiah 57:20
“There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.”
–Isaiah 57:21
“There is no peace, saith the LORD, unto the wicked.”
–Isaiah 48:22
It is also hard to imagine the true peace with is a benefit of becoming born again–unless one has experienced that affliction BEFORE becoming a follower of Jesus Christ. Jesus Himself promised his peace to those who followed Him.
“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”
–John 14:27
Yes, there is persecution and hatred to be endured as a follower of Jesus Christ, BUT such is the peace which the believer obtains, he does not lose any sleep over trials and tribulations of being a follower of Jesus Christ.
“My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations”
–James 1:2
“For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us”
–Romans 8:18
3- HOLINESS
Because God is holy, the believer is assured that all dealing with the Father will be fair and equitable.
“Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity”
–Habakkuk 1:13
Because of God’s inherent holiness, the believer will never have to “look over his shoulder.”
“There is none holy as the LORD: for there is none beside thee”
–1SAMUEL 2:2
4- TRUTH
Because God is holy and because God’s word is true, the believer does not have to concern himself with being lied to.
“Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever.”
–Psalm 119:160
5- THE POWER TO FULFILL ALL PROMISES MADE
When one is a follower of Jesus Christ, one is a follower of the most powerful entity in existence. When God or His Son, Jesus Christ makes a promise, it will be fulfilled. A lack of power is never a problem when one is a follower of the Creator of All.
“So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.”
–Isaiah 55:11
“Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure: Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth my counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it.”
–Isaiah 46:9-11
All of the above–and more–are what Christianity has to offer.
And that was without mentioning God’s Holy Spirit, who takes up residence in the believer and comforts him and leads him into all truth, including unlocking the secrets of God’s Word.
Of course, the non-believer cannot know any of the above, but every believer will testify of the HUGE benefits from being a follower of Jesus Christ.
A word to the wise: Christianity is not a “Plan B.” Christianity is not a backup for when the world fails.
God’s mercy allows the follower of Jesus Christ to become a member of the kingdom of heaven.
It is NOT up to the one who “decides” to be a Christian.
“For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.”
–Romans 9:15-16
To all those who have decided to wait and see how the events of the end times shake out and IF things look precarious, THEN they will call upon God: no faith is needed if one can see what one needs to do.
…and faith is needed to become a follower of Jesus Christ.
Only eternal disappointment awaits all those who delay.
“Coca-Cola is selling a new drink in Japan called “Coca-Cola Coffee Plus.” They say it’s great if you like Coke, love coffee, and hate blinking.”
–-Jimmy Fallon (2017)
“The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.”
–H.L. Mencken
“How can the reader know when the Corporate Media is lying to him (never mind the fact that the media is Satan’s Mouthpiece and Satan is the father of lies)? One easy way to tell is the use of “Why” and “How” in the headlines of an article. When the reader sees “Why?” or “How?” in the headline–occasionally “What” is used–that which follows will be a fairy tale, a narrative, a bedtime story spun by the media for the benefit of the media’s master. “Why” usually denotes an on-going narrative; “How” signifies a story line which explains past events. Not all narratives begin with “How” or “Why.” However, the most in-your-face, over-the-top ones usually do. ALL political “news” is narrative.
“American journalism (like the journalism of any other country) is predominantly paltry and worthless. Its pretensions are enormous, but its achievements are insignificant.”
― H.L. Mencken
“Things are never quite what they seem. Events are seldom close to how the media and history portray them.”
“It is a free press…There are laws to protect the freedom of the press’s speech, but none that are worth anything to protect the people from the press.”
–Mark Twain, speech: License of the Press
“If you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it, and you will even come to believe it.”
—Joseph Goebbels, Nazi Minister of Propaganda
“Journalists” are story-tellers. Nothing more, nothing less. Sometimes, there is an element of truth in their stories, but truth is not a requirement of what they do.
Under prevailing theories of economic voting, “Make America Great Again” should not be a good slogan for a time when poverty and unemployment are falling, and household income is rising, as the latest Census report shows.
Let’s repeat that.
“…Make America Great Again” should not be a good slogan for a time when poverty and unemployment are falling, and household income is rising”
Makes one wonder IF perhaps all of those really wonderful stories one has been told about the US economy by the government/media are really true?
The government/media wants Americans to get this message into their tiny, little brains: “The economy is GREAT! EVERYONE is working! Are you having a tough time of it with rising prices, no jobs and a dollar which is rapidly losing value? IF you are not doing GREAT! then it is because you are lazy, shiftless, stupid or all three.”
“because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.”
–2Thessalonians 2:10-12
Modern man has an estranged relationship with the truth.
Put in a way more familiar to moderns:
“Modern man’s relationship with the truth? It’s complicated.”
The alternate reality of TV, smartphones and the Corporate Media propaganda has convinced most Americans that they are living in paradise on earth–in spite of a mountain of everyday evidence which everywhere surrounds–and is about to overwhelm–them.
“Through clever and constant application of propaganda, people can be made to see paradise as hell, and also the other way round, to consider the most wretched sort of life as paradise.”
–Adolf Hitler, 20 Hitler Quotes about Propaganda and the Big Lie
Because they are deceived, many Americans see a biblical way of life as hell. Therefore, they believe the antidote for the world’s corruption is unattainable because they have allowed themselves to be deceived that a biblical solution is hell.
Modern man (America) believes the daily stew of lies, propaganda and half-truths he is fed by those who claim to provide “news.”
Modern man believes these lies because he is deceived.
Modern man will be convinced by the man of sin that his antichrist prescription to fix the very situation his slaves have created is a godly solution (which it will not be).
Modern man will not accept the truth because they have not a love for the truth.
“And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.”
—Genesis 6:5
” for the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth;”
—Genesis 8:21
Everyone has the “right to die.”
The vast majority do not exercise this “right.”
The “right to die” is about OTHERS deciding who is to live and who is to die.
“Right to die” sounds so much more humane than “murder.”
“Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth. And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so.
And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?
And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.”
—Acts 19:13-16
