“And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.”
–Revelation 17:1-5
One of the frequently-asked questions among those who keep one eye on the end times is “Who or what is BABYLON THE GREAT?”
OF COURSE, so many wise teachers of the tares have tried mightily to confuse the issue. To this end, many words have been written on how BABYLON THE GREAT refers to the city of Rome. The chief piece of evidence offered by these deceivers is Revelation 17:9.
“And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.”
However, even though Rome is famously said to sit on seven HILLS, hills are not mountains.
Besides, there are many cities the world over which sit on seven hills.
BABYLON THE GREAT is clearly said to sit on seven mountains or mounts.
Another, more recent attempt at obscuring who Babylon the Great is revolves around Washington, DC. While the USA certainly makes a strong case for being a “daughter of Babylon,” when it comes to MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, Washington, DC pales besides another famous city.
There are a great many clues provided by the 17th and 18th chapters of Revelation. These chapters cite Old Testament verses where God is speaking to those, who in the end times, he refers to as “Mystery, Babylon the Great, the Mother of Harlots and Abominations of the Earth.”
The reader may make a few comparisons and come to his own conclusions.
The USA is not BABYLON THE GREAT–though America would make a prime candidate of being one of the daughters of Babylon. That the United States is not Babylon come from Revelation 17:18.
“And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.”
So, BABYLON THE GREAT is a city, not a country.
Time for some verse-by-verse comparisons.
Referring to BABYLON THE GREAT, Revelation 18:7 states
“How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her. “
Compare this to Isaiah 47:8-9.
“Therefore hear now this, thou that art given to pleasures, that dwellest carelessly, that sayest in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children: But these two things shall come to thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall come upon thee in their perfection for the multitude of thy sorceries, and for the great abundance of thine enchantments.”
Revelation 18 is full of God’s disdain for BABYLON THE GREAT.
“Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.”
–Revelation 18:8
Compare Revelation 18:8 to Isaiah 47:9.
“But these two things shall come to thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall come upon thee in their perfection for the multitude of thy sorceries, and for the great abundance of thine enchantments.”
There are more comparisons.
“The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing, And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city! And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.”
–Revelation 18:15, 18-19
“And all that handle the oar, the mariners, and all the pilots of the sea, shall come down from their ships, they shall stand upon the land; And shall cause their voice to be heard against thee, and shall cry bitterly, and shall cast up dust upon their heads, they shall wallow themselves in the ashes: And they shall make themselves utterly bald for thee, and gird them with sackcloth, and they shall weep for thee with bitterness of heart and bitter wailing.”
–Ezekiel 27:29-31
“And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee; And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.”
–Revelation 18:22-23
“Then will I cause to cease from the cities of Judah, and from the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride: for the land shall be desolate.”
–Jeremiah 7:34
“For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will cause to cease out of this place in your eyes, and in your days, the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride.”
–Jeremiah 16:9
“Moreover I will take from them the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the candle.”
–Jeremiah 25:10
Who or what is BABYLON THE GREAT?
One last clue.
What group has the LORD called a (spiritual) “harlot” and a “whore,” who have committed “abominations“?
The intrepid and industrious reader should now be able to tie the object of the older Bible verses together, providing he has fifteen minutes and the desire to do so.
Otherwise, he will be as one of the millions of men standing on the earth when all this comes to pass, looking up and wondering.
Who or what is BABYLON THE GREAT?
The clues are there for any and all who desire to know them.
DOES the reader ever wonder about MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT?
OR, does the reader have other things to concern himself with in this busy life?
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. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”

“With the first presidential debate less than a week away, both the Obama camp and Romney camp are being careful not to overhype their candidates. They’re asking voters to lower their expectations and not get too excited. Or as voters put it, “Way ahead of you. Don’t worry about that.”
–Jimmy Fallon (2012)

“But actually, he thought as he readjusted the Ministry of Plenty’s figures, it was not even forgery. It was merely the substitution of one piece of nonsense for another. Most of the material that you were dealing with had no connection with anything in the real world, not even the kind of connection that is contained in a direct lie. Statistics were just as much a fantasy in their original version as in their rectified version. A great deal of time you were expected to make them up out of your head.”

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST
“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:

“Vice President Joe Biden lashed out at fellow Democrats. He said that those Democrats that didn’t get what they wanted should just “buck up.” Of course, Joe Biden has “bucked up” a number of times.”

“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
For as much as the world (and thechurch folk) talk about 666,–the mark of the beast in Revelation 13–the only thing we know about this number is from the Book of Revelation, particularly the three verses recorded in Revelation 13:16-18.
Which brings to mind the questions: “What is the meaning of 666 and where did it come from?”
For as much as the world seemingly concentrates on those three end times numbers (666), surprisingly little is known for sure about it.
The only information we know for sure is that the God’s Word states that 666 is the “number of a man.” There are a number of stories associated with this information, mostly told by the world and, especially the tares.
Some of the tales involve the number SEVEN representing God, so that SIX is one less and represents man, who is imperfect and wicked.
Others claim that NINE is the number of the devil and that 666 is merely three nine’s upside down. (Of course, this last one does not work with Roman numerals or any other number system than the ones we currently use now.)
Some claim that 666 is really 616, but then, centuries have passed without that tale gaining much traction in the public’s mind.
There are a number of modern groups–such as hard rockers, gang members and motorcycle clubs–who have adopted 666, mainly because that number signifies end times rebellion against God.
There is some speculation that 666 is a number once used by the wicked men who ruled the earth before the flood.
“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. The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.”
–Genesis 6:5, 11-13
The thinking goes that because the wicked have such a love of ancient knowledge–particularly ancient EVIL knowledge–666 will be dusted off once more and used again before the return of Jesus Christ.
The one sure thing we know about 666: it will be used by those who desire to rule the earth through Satan.
“And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; 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 2:9-11
When the time comes, those who are not subject to great delusion will recognize 666 and will exchange their lives in order to NOT take the mark of the beast.
Oh. One additional thing that is KNOWN FOR SURE about 666: ALL who take the mark will be damned forever.
There is NO repentance once one takes the mark of the beast.
There is NO changing of the mind once one worships the beast and receives his mark.
“And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.”
–Revelation 14:9-11
It’s no wonder that in 2017, they welcomed over 17 million tourists. But while these numbers mean that its great business, the locals aren’t always fond of tourists.

All we need is the willpower, a new economy, millions of good-paying jobs, new leaders in the White House and Congress and new citizens who place value on more than their own minute-to-minute financial well-being.
“At best, AI will be as good as humans at untangling those complex issues, but probably won’t be better,” claimed Notre Dame Adjunct Professor of Law, Alexandra Yelderman.

“California was discovered on this day in 1542 by Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo. To give you an idea how long ago that was, at the time he discovered California he was the only person in the state who spoke Spanish.”
–Jay Leno (2012)
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?”

RANDOM THOUGHTS 6
September 28, 2019
[Taken from several recent discussions as well as the odd note–but mostly from the odd note.]
There is, in the times in which we live, an apparent confusion about SIN. This circumstance is a result of years of deliberate misinformation, brought about mainly by the efforts of
those who run the network of buildings known as the churches;
those who toil in the related web of so-called “Christian” publishing, “Christian” support and “Christian” apologetics;”
those who work in the increasingly-transparent indoctrination machine known as Big Entertainment (TV, movies, video games, music, etc.);
those who make up the satanic propaganda-spewing Corporate Media (Satan’s Mouthpiece); and,
ALL who toil for the dragon.
So many of the public wrongly believes that SIN is a
Lack of communications;
Lack of the right information;
Lack of good habits;
Lack of right thinking;
Lack of willpower; or
Lack of direction (mainly through the “new life” which college, a new job and/or another love partner promises).
OF course, it is hard to learn that SIN is transgression against an all-powerful and all-holy Creator when most have been taught (from an early age) that God is a weakling or is only a figment of a primitive imagination.
Like McDonald’s, the false “revivals“–which travel the land, spreading non-biblical nonsense among the churches–trumpet their numbers served saved.
Hundreds?
Thousands?
Millions?
Who is to say?
The revivals desire that the church folk believe the numbers refer to the “number of saved souls.”
Among the tares, the biggest fear appears to be worldly persecution–NOT eternal damnation or hellfire.
For the new believer, the transition between a life where everything we thought we knew was a lie and the transformed life of the new birth can be a bit unsettling. After years of learning the “ways of the world,” the new believer discovers that, at practically every turn, the world lied to him. Learning to follow the Holy Spirit of truth into such a deceitful world is something which takes a little time. Old habits sometimes die easy, but more often, old habits die hard.
We unearthed a few selections from our “Quotes Graveyard” of quotations never used.
“When I consider life, it is all a cheat. Yet fooled with hope, people favor this deceit.” —John Dryden
“Climate change is sometimes misunderstood as being about changes in the weather. In reality it is about changes in our very way of life.” —Paul Polman
And the winner of the “Most Self-Serving, Ridiculously Dishonest Quote” goes to Jean Giraudoux for the following: “Men don’t deceive their wives unless they love them. When they love them most, they deceive them. It’s a form of fidelity, their deceit.“
No story currently in the “news” exposes so many fictions of the “movie business” than the Sony-Disney production of their Spider-Man feud. (Spider-Man Will Stay in the Marvel Cinematic Universe) The story illustrates the use of fake feuds to gin up interest in the properties of the rich and celebrated, in this case the Spider-Man movies which supposedly were about to revert to Sony. The story also highlights the true nature of the “movie business“: The movie studios are all divisions of the mystery of iniquity‘s propaganda and indoctrination operation. Yes, they are promoted as separate, independent companies, but, like much else, they are all under the thumb of those who control the very reality which surrounds modern man. One supposes that eventually, all of the movie studios and all of the “news” organizations will consolidate into one, giant Ministry of Truth–though one does not know if the charade of these cogs pretending to be independent companies will be maintained.
Having a demon cast out is not the end-all the popular horror films, the churches and the “deliverance ministries” pretend it to be. IF the afflicted one does not seek the LORD, then the demon will soon return with others worse than he. Though the man may have “cleaned up his act,” this will NOT deter the demon from taking up residence in his former host.
“When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out. And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished. Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.”
Everyone seems to be in a terrible rush to get to the next trivial pursuit of their life. Man is in such a hurry to move on his next critically-important few minutes of this vapor of a life, there’s even dozens of songs written about this topic.
Though there are a great many who actually believe that the United States has been a “Christian country,” this is NOT even remotely true. Though as schoolchildren, Americans learn that the rest of the world came to the USA to practice their religion, if any gave this much thought, they would soon discover the falseness of the assertion. The USA was a country founded on the pursuit of the things of the world. Though the founders called it the “pursuit of happiness,” anyone familiar with American history knows that “happiness” meant money, wealth and the things of the world.
“Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.”
–1JOHN 2:15-16

QUOTES: The preferred way to highlight the wisdom of this present world and the ungodly men and women the world chooses to lift up and honor.
THE WISDOM OF THE WORLD VS. THE WISDOM OF GOD
In search of something completely different, this writer came across one of those graphics so popular nowadays with the set that pretends to be Christian, or spiritual or something.
The reader is no doubt familiar: it’s a picture of a sunset, a sunrise, a forest, something that looks like “unspoiled nature.”
And, superimposed over top of the picture is a quote by someone considered wise by the person who put together the graphic.
These days, Albert Einstein is popular. The great majority of the time, the quote is of an antichrist nature. But that only enhances its popularity with worldly people in the times in which we find ourselves.
This particular graphic featured the following quote.
“I would rather walk with a friend in the dark than walk alone in the light.”
–Helen Keller
And that pretty much sums up the difference between the world–-including 90+ percent of American “Christians”–-and the true believer.
The true believer walks in the light.
“Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.”
—John 12:35
Because he walks in that light, he understands that it will be a lonely walk scorned by the world.
This includes those lifted up, exalted and honored by the world–and who are quoted by those pretending to be Christians.
“And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.”
–Revelation 17:1-5
One of the frequently-asked questions among those who keep one eye on the end times is “Who or what is BABYLON THE GREAT?”
OF COURSE, so many wise teachers of the tares have tried mightily to confuse the issue. To this end, many words have been written on how BABYLON THE GREAT refers to the city of Rome. The chief piece of evidence offered by these deceivers is Revelation 17:9.
“And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.”
However, even though Rome is famously said to sit on seven HILLS, hills are not mountains.
Besides, there are many cities the world over which sit on seven hills.
BABYLON THE GREAT is clearly said to sit on seven mountains or mounts.
Another, more recent attempt at obscuring who Babylon the Great is revolves around Washington, DC. While the USA certainly makes a strong case for being a “daughter of Babylon,” when it comes to MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, Washington, DC pales besides another famous city.
There are a great many clues provided by the 17th and 18th chapters of Revelation. These chapters cite Old Testament verses where God is speaking to those, who in the end times, he refers to as “Mystery, Babylon the Great, the Mother of Harlots and Abominations of the Earth.”
The reader may make a few comparisons and come to his own conclusions.
The USA is not BABYLON THE GREAT–though America would make a prime candidate of being one of the daughters of Babylon. That the United States is not Babylon come from Revelation 17:18.
“And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.”
So, BABYLON THE GREAT is a city, not a country.
Time for some verse-by-verse comparisons.
Referring to BABYLON THE GREAT, Revelation 18:7 states
“How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her. “
Compare this to Isaiah 47:8-9.
“Therefore hear now this, thou that art given to pleasures, that dwellest carelessly, that sayest in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children: But these two things shall come to thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall come upon thee in their perfection for the multitude of thy sorceries, and for the great abundance of thine enchantments.”
Revelation 18 is full of God’s disdain for BABYLON THE GREAT.
“Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.”
–Revelation 18:8

–Revelation 18:15, 18-19
“And all that handle the oar, the mariners, and all the pilots of the sea, shall come down from their ships, they shall stand upon the land; And shall cause their voice to be heard against thee, and shall cry bitterly, and shall cast up dust upon their heads, they shall wallow themselves in the ashes: And they shall make themselves utterly bald for thee, and gird them with sackcloth, and they shall weep for thee with bitterness of heart and bitter wailing.”
–Ezekiel 27:29-31
“And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee; And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.”
–Revelation 18:22-23
“Then will I cause to cease from the cities of Judah, and from the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride: for the land shall be desolate.”
–Jeremiah 7:34
“For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will cause to cease out of this place in your eyes, and in your days, the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride.”
–Jeremiah 16:9
“Moreover I will take from them the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the candle.”
–Jeremiah 25:10
Who or what is BABYLON THE GREAT?
One last clue.
What group has the LORD called a “harlot” and a “whore” which has committed “abominations“?
The intrepid and industrious reader should now be able to tie the object of the older Bible verses together, providing he has fifteen minutes and the desire to do so.
Otherwise, he will be as one of the millions of men standing on the earth when all this comes to pass, looking up and wondering.
Who or what is BABYLON THE GREAT?
The clues are there for any and all who desire to know them.
“A new study found that hand dryers in bathrooms spread more germs than paper towels. And the makers of hand dryers said, “But don’t forget, we also don’t dry your hands.”

“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.
“NASA made a huge announcement that they have discovered for the first time liquid water on Mars. This officially makes Mars more qualified to support human life than California.”
–James Corden
1- This is a splendid example of the maxim “Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it”
Ironically, the author even uses this maxim to head his piece.
It’s tough to learn from history if one doesn’t know history.
“What Germany needed in 1937/1938 was time and a British/French unwillingness. What Iran needs in 2013 is time, and a U.S. unwillingness. The key difference is this: in 1938 Czech could not defend herself…. In 2013, Israel can.”
Is the author correct here?
No, he is not.
It makes no matter HOW MUCH anti-Obama rhetoric the author uses to insinuate himself with his readers, he cannot change history.
The contention that “…in 1938, Czech [sic] could not defend herself…” is not only incorrect, it is laughable.
In 1938, Czechoslovakia was in a MUCH better strategic position than Israel is in today. This is a matter of history.
In 1938, the Czechs had 35 complete and well-trained divisions, a booming armaments industry that was the envy of much of Europe and had a supposedly strong system of alliances. Just because Czechoslovakia’s allies proved treacherous did not negate the 35 well-armed, well-trained divisions occupying some of the best-defended, mountainous, reinforced borders in Europe.
In 1938, the Germans had 38 incomplete, poorly-trained, mostly-conscript divisions who faced a formidable obstacle in the Czech defenses.
In 1938, if there had been a one-on-one war (Germany vs Czechoslovakia), the Czechs, as a matter of historical record, could have held out. It’s very doubtful the Germans alone would have been able to conquer 1938 Czechoslovakia. It would have taken more treachery on the part of Czech “allies” before the Czechs would have had to capitulate.
“Sudetenland was of immense strategic importance to Czechoslovakia, as most of its border defenses were situated there, and many of its banks and heavy industry were located there as well.”
—Munich Agreement
However, the Czech leaders agreed to Munich and that capitulation destroyed their future ability to resist, as well as turned over most of the areas of their armaments industry into the German hands. This greatly strengthened Germany and greatly weakened the Czechs.
The Munich conference gave the Czech leaders the political cover necessary in order for them to capitulate to a weaker-but-more-bellicose Germany.
Of course, this all ruins the narrative of this article, but that’s only a splendid example of another thing:
2- It’s hard to construct a narrative omelet without breaking a few eggs of truth.
There is one area which the author of the piece could have compared 2013 Iran-USA-Israel with 1938 Germany-Czechoslovakia-Britain-France–but pointedly did not do so.
BOTH are/were staged dramas, readying their respective worlds for the commencement of the next world war.
And THAT is the point of history which man will be doomed to repeat because he did not learn any lessons from previous history.
That this entire article contributes to the Corporate Media narrative–unwittingly or not–should be apparent by asking yourself a few questions.
Why has the press elevated a weaker-but-more-bellicose Iran, with a potential nuclear arsenal–but no real nuclear capability as yet–to the status of Israel, which has an estimated 200 nukes (though Israel has never confirmed or denied an such estimates)?
Why the drama of Obama? Israel has been totally able to act independently of the USA political leadership in the past [Operation Opera]. Why is it not able to in 2013 when its leader is the supposedly-tough-and-independent Benjamin Netanyahu?
Why the seeming dependence of Israel on the machinations of the seeming undependable Barack Hussein Obama, America’s super-secret, undercover Muslim President?
This is the reason media narratives need to be ongoing and constant–and reinforced by the Internet’s Alternative Media: there are too many unexplainable points that need to be explained. The old narratives break down and don’t explain why events are happening. That’s the reason for the new narratives and the constant stream of media talking heads explaining the reasons for them.
One good example of this is the Republican-Democrat narrative. Since the R vs D doesn’t explain Republican senators voting for such things as cloture on ObamaCare, a new narrative was needed. So the narrative of “conservative” vs “liberal” Republicans was born.
When THAT didn’t explain the constant defections of supposedly “conservative” “Republicans,” then the narrative of the “RINOs” was born.
And so on, up to our present day. The next narrative will likely be for a “third party” that will be unelectable but uphold the principles of Americanism.
That new narrative will explain the continued failures of the American system to those who still believe in it. It will supply hope that the American political system will correct itself–despite an almost unbroken history that it will not.
That Americans still believe these contrived and convoluted explanations says a lot about the power of public education to dumb down the masses.

“And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.”
–Revelation 17:1-5
As a great many specific questions concerning the end times have to do with Babylon, it was decided to publish a fact sheet on the topic.
A fact sheet, factsheet, fact file or (in some industries) one-sheet is a presentation of data in a format which emphasizes key points concisely, usually using tables, bullet points and/or headings, on a single printed page.
The Bible informs the reader about “MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.”
HOWEVER, false teachers labor ceaselessly to obscure the truth of God’s Word.
This also applies to Revelation 17, which contains a great amount of information concerning this end times entity.
With this in mind, we now present what God’s Word has to say about “the great whore“–what many call Mystery Babylon–OR “MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.”
1- The whore is a religious system which has enticed the kings of the earth to “commit fornication” with her.
“With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.”
–Revelation 17:2
2- ALL nations have participated in committing fornication with the whore.
“For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.”
–Revelation 18:3
3- At one time, Babylon served a useful purpose with God: Babylon WAS a “golden cup.” But now, Babylon serves the enemies of God and those who follow her are “mad.”
“Babylon hath been a golden cup in the LORD’S hand, that made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunken of her wine; therefore the nations are mad.”
–Jeremiah 51:7
4- Though that religious system once served God (“a golden cup in God’s hand“), it now serves another (a golden cup…full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication.“)
“And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication”
-–Revelation 17:4
5- This religious system not only has killed the prophets of God, it has also killed the followers of Jesus Christ.
“And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus”
–Revelation 17:6
“Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.”
–Revelation 18:20
“And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.”
–Revelation 18:24
6- The religious system is centered in a city with seven mountains (not “hills”).
“And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.”
–Revelation 17:9
Satan has labored long and hard to tie Revelation 17:9 to Rome and the seven hills of Rome. However, there is another city which sits, not on seven hills, but on seven mountains (or mounts).
7- The religious system–which is headed up by the false prophet (the man of sin of 2THESSALONIANS 2:3)–comes into its end times power by riding on the back of the the one-world government (“beast“).
“I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.”
–Revelation 17:3
8- The one-world government–on which the whore rides–makes war with Jesus Christ and loses.
“And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.”
–Revelation 17:12-14
9- The religious system is worldwide in scope, deceiving every group of men in the whole world.
“And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.”
–Revelation 17:15
10- The arrangement of the religious system riding on the back of the one-world government is not a permanent one. Eventually, the world system turns on the religious system and destroys it.
“And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.”
–Revelation 17:16-17
11- The religious system (whore) is synonymous with a particular city.
“And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.”
–Revelation 17:18
12- In the last days, God will send two witnesses to testify against the whore for 1260 day (42 months or three and a half years). They will testify in “that great city” and then be killed.
“And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them. And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.”
–Revelation 11:3,7-8
13- The peoples of the earth will see the dead bodies of the two witnesses lying in the streets of that great city (because they will not be buried) and will rejoice. But then, men shall see the two witnesses resurrected and grow fearful.
“And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves. And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth. And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them. And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.”
–Revelation 11:9-12
14- Babylon the Great (the whore; the religious system) will not last. God will use an angel to announce its fall.
“And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.”
–Revelation 18:1-3
“And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.”
–Revelation 14:6,8
15- God will destroy the religious system and its city in one day.
“Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.”
–Revelation 18:8
“And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.”
–Revelation 18:9-10
16- Finally, God will not only destroy Babylon, the city will NEVER be inhabited ever again.
“And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all. And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee; And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.”
–Revelation 18:21-23
IS the reader curious if Babylon the Great exists today?
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. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16
The Corporate Media has been awash with talk of persecution and martyrdom of Christians.
In Syria.
In the Middle East.
All over the world.
Why is that?
Has the Corporate Media suddenly developed this great love for Christians–a group it absolutely despises? Is it trying to warn believers? Do they really believe that “Brotherhood of Man” stuff they’re constantly pushing on the great unwashed?
No.
No.
And no.
It’s all about fear.
THE FEAR AND THE PIT AND THE SNARE
The Coming Persecution – This article is a good overview of the stated objectives of the New Age and what its ascendency means to the true believers of Jesus Christ.
That said, this article has much good information about the trees (the New Age component of the coming New World Order spirit of antichrist beast system) but it doesn’t really see the forest (the New Age is but one component; representing the well-promoted face of coming persecution. The fear of which is meant to herd Christians to something worse than physical persecution.) Tough as it is for the modern American Christian to believe, there are worse things than physical persecution.
Like eternity in a lake of fire.
But the article gets a lot right, even if the author still holds to some of the mass-marketed eschatology of the Modern American Prophecy Industry. He makes some canny observations. [Emphasis added.]
“The Lord Jesus Christ reveals to us that mystery Babylon will be responsible not only for bringing the Antichrist to power, but for the atrocities of having both Christians and Jews put to death. New Age Babylon is referred to as being “drunk with the blood of the saints” and “the blood of the witnesses of Jesus” (Revelation 17:1-6). Since the great whore of Babylon rides the beast, she fuels his cause with religious terror and spiritual reasons as to why Christians and Jews must be put to death.”
American Christians are being primed with the fear of persecution in order to more easily herd them later into the boxcars of the beast. To the great relief of the lukewarm Christian, these boxcars will not be headed to a FEMA camp or a place of execution. For the lukewarm and deceived American pew-sitter, these will not even be literal boxcars–at least not for them.
For the lukewarm and deceived, these boxcars will be headed to a Church! (Maybe it’ll have a coffee shop?)
IF ONLY American church-goers would stumble across the many passages of their Bibles which speak of tribulation and affliction, they would discover that there are far worse things than persecution in the flesh. Far from being the “wrath of God” as many have been carefully taught, persecution is associated with words like “rejoicing” and “glory.”
“So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure:”
–2 Thessalonians 1:4
“Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.”
–2 Corinthians 12:10
“Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.”
–Matthew 5:11
“For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.”
–Mark 13:19
“For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;”
–2 Corinthians 4:17
“Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;”
—1 Peter 4:1
But those in the end times churches will experience neither persecution nor glory. And since they will be under a “strong delusion,” the chances of anyone reversing course don’t look so good.
The Bible has repeatedly warned us. In fact, Isaiah 24 lays out the whole New Age/Whore of Babylon game plan to any willing to read it–particularly verses 17 and 18.
“Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are upon thee, O inhabitant of the earth. And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for the windows from on high are open, and the foundations of the earth do shake.”
—Isaiah 24:17-18
The fear of persecution will drive millions of deluded, lukewarm pew-sitters who play at Christianity into the pit of the end times American Babylonian whore Church. From the pit of that church, God’s eventual judgments on the earth will snare them.
“I have laid a snare for thee, and thou art also taken, O Babylon, and thou wast not aware: thou art found, and also caught, because thou hast striven against the LORD.”
—Jeremiah 50:24
Not a pretty scenario–and it could be avoided if only Americans had a love for the truth.
NEW AGE END TIMES PERSECUTION of the SAINTS: The Rider of the Pale Horse?
Make no mistake: there will be persecution and cleansing under the New Age, New World Order.
“New Age leader, Barbara Marx Hubbard has stated, “people will either change or die,” for “that is the choice.” According to those who would concur with Hubbard, Christians will need to be more open minded so they too can receive the mark of the Antichrist. If they will not join with the global community and its agenda, they will be killed by the “opened minded” New Agers. She states that, “This act is as horrible as killing a cancer cell. It must be done for the sake of the future of the whole. So be it; be prepared for the selection process which is now beginning. We, the elders, have been patiently waiting until the very last moment before the quantum transformation, to take action to cut out this corrupted and corrupting element in the body of humanity. It is like watching a cancer grow; something must be done before the whole body is destroyed…. The destructive one fourth must be eliminated from the social body.”
—Barbara Marx Hubbard and the Selection Process
“We are in charge of God’s selection process for planet Earth. He selects, we destroy. We are the riders of the pale horse, death… We do this for the sake of the world.”
–Barbara Marx Hubbard, The Book of Co-Creation, p. 59
Of course Hubbard is wrong. The New Age is not the rider of the pale horse. The New Age may run beside the pale horse. Kinda like an annoying rainbow-colored little yapping dog. For some time the New Age and the Luciferians have very publicly held up large, brightly-colored posters that proclaimed “Hey! Look at us! We’re the pale horse! Fear us! Are you scared yet? Come on, fear us!”
“And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.”
—Revelation 6:8
So the New Age claims that it will be cleansing the planet–and there will be some of that going on–and the “purging (killing)” will be purposely horrific.
WHORE OF BABYLON: Worldwide American Apostate Church?
But there’s another group who’s also itching to cleanse the earth.
“The way to achieve dominion is not to become “America’s Taliban,” but rather to have kingdom-minded people in every one of the Seven Mountains: Religion, Family, Education, Government, Media, Arts & Entertainment, and Business so that they can use their influence to create an environment in which the blessings and prosperity of the Kingdom of God can permeate all areas of society.”
—C. Peter Wagner, The New Apostolic Reformation is not a Cult!, Charisma magazine, Aug 24, 2011
“And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.”
—Revelation 17:9
Sounds great! Little wonder most American pew-sitters won’t have to be herded into such a refuge: they’ll run to it. Like the New Age, Wagner also talks a lot about “paradigm shifts” and “comfort zones.” But the dragon’s whore church that the apostate will embrace also talks of a great end times cleansing. [Emphasis added.]
Yet, not all NAR leaders admit to promoting dominionism. Some NAR leaders, such as Mike Bickle of the International House of Prayer in Kansas City, Missouri, directly deny that they are promoting dominionism or, what he calls, “Dominion Theology.”30 But despite his denial, Bickle’s teachings are in line with “Kingdom Now” dominionism, including his teaching that the end-time church will cleanse the earth of evil. According to Bickle, this feat will be accomplished by end-time Christians — under the leadership of apostles and prophets — who will say “prophetic” prayers that will release the Great Tribulation judgments on the kingdom of the Antichrist.”
Totally 100 percent NOT biblical–unless one is talking about the satanic Whore of Babylon Church.
Then it’s completely, absolutely 100 percent biblical.
But since when has not being biblical slowed down antichrist ambitions? As long as it LOOKS biblical enough to fool most American pew-sitters, it will be close enough for one-world government work.
“The major tenets of the adherents of this sect include the belief that we are living in the final years before the return of Christ. However, they differ from dispensationalists in their belief that they must defeat evil on the earth and purify the existing churches before Jesus can return. Furthermore, the building of this “Kingdom of God” is not to be delayed until after the Rapture, or to be built in a heavenly sphere. They believe that they have a mandate to build the Kingdom in the present and in the physical realm.”
—Palin’s Churches and the New Apostolic Reformation
One has to admit it makes little difference who does the actual killing/cleansing: Hubbard’s little New Age Luciferian yapping dog or the much more dangerous “Satan’s Whore of Babylon worldwide Church of the Signs and Lying Wonders” crew.
The saints will be just as dead.
“And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.”
—Revelation 13:5,7
“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.”
—Daniel 7:25
But the Whore will beckon and offer a safe haven, so that’s where most Americans who congregate in the churches will be. At least they won’t be lonely: they’ll have their strong delusion to keep them company.
That’s pretty much the choice for true believers: death by beheading OR death by being forced to listen to the yak-yak-yak of the Dominionist antichrist Whore of Babylon fake apostles and prophets–and then beheading.
Hate to be the one to break it: Not a lot of wiggle room.
Of course, the REAL choice is between persecution or perdition. But unfortunately, many will be looking to save their lives.
IF ONLY they believed their Bibles.
“Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it”
—Luke 17:33
The end times were never about charts and timelines. Or guessing the day and and hour. Or counting the days until the next Jewish feast. Or temples to be built with human hands. Or fake blood moons. Or guessing the nationality of that scary guy in the AntiChrist suit. Or waiting for a worldwide revival without repentance. Or renouncing the better covenant in favor of the Old under the guise of “Daniel’s 70th week for the Jews.” Or, being comfortably sucked out of Babylon before proving our love for the One who already proved His. Or any of the other cunningly-devised fables.
“And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.”
—Revelation 12:11
The end times were always about forcing those who honor God and Jesus with their lips to make a real choice.
That choice isn’t to run to the end times satanic whore church of the dragon which will be praying down Satan’s fire and other signs and lying wonders. If you are in that Church, you’ve already made your choice.
The real choice: Either stand up for Jesus Christ when the whhiizzzzz of the guillotine is in the air.
Or sit down and shut up.
For eternity.
Because if one stands up for Jesus Christ in the end times–the REAL Jesus, not the other Jesus that’s being taught in so many churches in America; not Baby Jesus; not Jesus the Passionate Groom; not Jesus the Presence unleashed in you for POWER or Buddy Jesus the Love-God: the real Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God of the Bible Jesus–there’s not going to be anywhere to hide.
(Unless God, in his sovereign power, has decided you need to be hidden–and if one is worshiping another Jesus, that Jesus has no power to save, either eternally or physically.)
There are those who do make it through. In spite of what the Dominionists/NAR/IHOPpers teach, there is a rapture–though it takes on a much different form than what 95 percent of America’s worldly church-goers have been spoon-fed.
It’s not the the corrupt Christian Corporate Media version.
