Blog to discuss the book "The Apocalypse - Letter by Letter: A Literary Analysis of the Book of Revelation" and current events that point to the events described therein.
**Warning** If you watch the video linked to the title of this entry, you will be shocked. it contains graphic images of what goes on hundreds of times across this country. It also shows what a majority of Americans voted to expand in this last election.You Missed the WarningIt was reported shortly after the election in the U.S. that the biggest issue that caused voters to vote the way they did was economic issues. Though some economic issues deal with feeding and sheltering a family, the trend in the western world is towards a rampant consumerism devoid of family, morals or spirituality. The materialism that has gripped modern man means that even the so-called poor have cell phones, x-Box and a laptop computer hooked to an Internet service. In the rush to acquire goods, no one better stand in the way, especially the children. They have been sacrificed to the altar of greed. There is even a movement to tax families over a certain size.God has warned us but most missed the warning. I wrote about it before. The tallest building in the western world was the World Trade Center. Anyone approaching New York City by air, water or road saw it long before the rest of the skyline was visible. It was a monument to money. It's very name announced its purpose. Man marveled at it. Yet objectively speaking it was a ghastly thing. Two rectangles sticking far above the rest of the surrounding area.In the Christian era, prior to current modernism, zoning laws forbid any structure to surpass the church in height. But that was long ago set aside as money needed an even larger temple. Symbols to it are everywhere from the large insurance company buildings to the giant calf outside the New York Stock Exchange. Money has become man's god and nothing will stand in the way as he seeks to acquire more.In the terrorist attacks of 9/11/01, the twin towers came crashing down at the hands of a hand full of thugs with box cutters. On top of the pile was a cross fashioned from broken beams, a fitting grave marker for the greed the building represented. It was a sign that God is in control. People streamed into churches to pray about what had happened. But few got the message.Both presidential candidates promised to help people increase their wealth. Neither spoke about the spiritual well-being of the citizens or what was good for the soul. Neither spoke loudly about the daily holocaust of the unborn, the ripping to shreds of tiny babies in their first homes, their mothers own wombs.One promised to remove what few impediments there are to abortion on demand through all phases of pregnancy. After all he pronounced, "no one should be punished with a baby." And you elected him. Maybe you didn't vote for him but by your actions, you look the other way while this massacre continues. I feel I didn't do enough. No one could until this is ended.But God is surely in control and the chastisement He is placing upon us all will be severe. We'll all have to answer for the images in the video that is linked above.Labels: 200 Million Horsemen, Abortion
