MABUS 666? Like in Ray Mabus our Sec. of NAVY?

Nostradomus referred to the  first Antichrist
specifically as "MABUS":

Mabus then will soon die, there will come
Of people and beasts a horrible rout:
Then suddenly one will see vengeance,
Hundred, hand, thirst, hunger when the comet will run.
Century II, Quatrain 62

The antichrist very soon annihilates the three,
twenty-seven years his war will last.
The unbelievers are dead, captive, exiled;
with blood, human bodies, water and red hail covering the earth.
Century VIII, Quatrain 77

Naval battle night will be overcome,
Fire in the ships to the West ruin:
New trick, the great ship colored,
Anger to the vanquished, and victory in a drizzle.
Century IX, Quatrain 100

A founder of sects , much trouble for the accuser:
A beast in the theater prepares the scene and plot.

In Century VIII, it refers to a "NAVAL BATTLE"

On June 18, 2009, Barak Hussein Obama swore Raymond
 Mabus in as Secretary of the Navy of the USA.

(From Wikipedia):

 On March 27, 2009, Mabus was nominated
 by President Obama as Secretary of the
 Department of the Navy.^[19] He was informally
 sworn in on May 19, 2009 ^[20], however it was
 not until an official ceremony at Washington 
Navy Yard on June 18, 2009 that Mabus 
was officially sworn in by the Secretary
 of Defense Robert Gates.


June 18= 6/18= 6/666.


Obama's Chief of Staff is Rahm Emmanuel


Emmanuel is one of the OT names
of the Messiah, meaning "God with us."


Can this  world leader we are so blessed
with now do more to be blatantly aligned
to all and every prophecy in the Bible,
and elsewhere, with 666 and the Mark
of the Beast?


Now, i don't have the wisdom or insight
to proclaim this man is the ultimate man
of sin, but, to imagine he isn't part of the
plan is being very naive, in my opinion.


Brothers, be on your knees to the LORD
for wisdom and enlightenment. I don't 
mean to elevate Nostradomus with
the Holy Prophets, but, the NWO will
use every profane prophecy to their
advantage, and have been doing this.


Should we despair? HELL NO!


I am REJOICING in the knowledge 
that the sooner the Antichrist is
revealed, the sooner CHRIST will
be revealed as VICTOR.


We know that this must happen,
so, let's turn these lemons into
lemonade.


Let me share that lately EVERY LAST
UTTERANCE in prayer to our Heavenly
Father, in Jesus Christ's Name, has
been heard and I believe attended to,
and I've been very specific, according
to my heart's need to interceding in
very vital areas.


BE ENCOURAGED! As the darkness
descends rapidly, (remember, his time
is short, so it's going to go quickly now),
our Father is WITH US, and will support
us. But, we must PRAY without ceasing.


This is the time for us to wake up and
get on our knees, and again in midday,
get on our knees, and before we slumber
to get on our knees, and in-between,
whether we are driving or bathing, or
listening to music or TV, pray in the Spirit.


Be specific, and you will reap unbelievable
rewards. You will be filled with the peace of
our LORD, and nothing going on will 
penetrate that armor.


We have the power. USE IT!


NOW IS THE TIME!


  

On the Road to Damascus

Recently, a relative exclaimed that they no longer
believed in God. They lost a child, and this reaction
is not unusual, and my heart breaks for both the loss
of their child, and the loss of connection to God,
out of deep grief.

I am not judging them, because, I can understand
lashing out at the universe, God, and nature for
losing someone so beloved as a child. But, I am
so sad, knowing that they no longer have any hope
or consolation, even in their sorrow.

There is a wonderful compensation of faith during
tragedy, even the loss of a loved one, in the hope
and belief that there will be reuniting when we
pass over, for all of us were born to die. In the
time when God could strengthen and lift them
up, the resentment and pain of loss compounds
the misery and hopelessness.

I sat silently, because, everyone lives inside of
their own hearts and souls. I can't brighten their
outlook with platitudes or encouragement, or
in defense of God. It is what it is.

When bad things happen, we often strike out
against God, or feel like we're being punished,
or targeted. Yet, an understanding of Scripture
can provide so much comfort in these situations.
Even when we feel as if we're being punished,
the Bible teaches that chastening is the mark
of being loved by God, like a Father to his
son.

Faith is not transferable. This is hard for believers
to accept, especially when we love our family
and friends who think we're crazy, deceived,
or living in a fantasy with Jesus. They can
be vicious about it, too, and all too cruel,
but, our response is to understand where they
are coming from, not to judge, and not to
correct them, at that time, in a way that
would further alenate them from us, or
God.

While we are commissioned to spread the
Gospel, we are told not to belabor the
Good News. When the light of Christ is
not well-received by our presence, we are
told to leave them alone.

Faith is the most personal aspect of our
psyche or soul. I've witnessed many of
my friends, or relatives, who mocked
and criticized me for my faith, only to
embrace the LORD later in their own
lives, when the Lord turns on the lights.

It's difficult to maintain our enthusiasm
without driving people in our family, or
our friends and acquaintances nuts. But,
it's imperative that we learn moderation
when dispensing the Gospel to those
who inform us that they don't believe.

SOmetimes, they become so abusive, that
we need to break off from them, but, not
in judgment, only love, praying that they
will one day understand.

So many will mock us, but, they mocked the
Lord Jesus. Many will show their hatred of
us through cruel and blackhearted jibes, but,
it's sometimes their own fears speaking. If
they're not ready to confront their own
mortality and relationship with God, then,
Christians are a reminder of something
missing in their lives.

I was like these people once upon a time,
and I remember my irritation at preachy
Christians. I actually hated them, too.
Just like Paul, it takes the bright and
overwhelming light to break through the
darkness, and we need to experience it
firsthand. You can't make other people
believe what you believe. You can only
pray they find themselves on the
Road to Damascus..

The Mystery of Iniquity: Babylon

I've developed a spiritual hiccup. Whenever I try to
pray, I am overwhelmed with gloom. I have long since
lost my faith in this world, but, things are coming down
so rapidly, that this phrase: "Mystery of Iniquity" echoes
in harmony to my prayers.

For g1063 γάρ gar the mystery g3466 μυστήριον mystērion of iniquity g458 ἀνομία anomia doth g1754 ἐνεργέω energeō already g2235 ἤδη ēdē work: g1754 ἐνεργέω energeō only g3440 μόνον monon he who now g737 ἄρτι arti letteth g2722 κατέχω katechō [will let], until g2193 ἕως heōs he be taken g1096 γίνομαι ginomai out of g1537 ἐκ ek the way. g3319 μέσος mesos

Strong's G458 - anomia ἀνομία Transliteration anomia Pronunciation ä-no-mē'-ä (Key) Part of Speech feminine noun Root Word (Etymology) From ἄνομος (G459) TDNT Reference 4:1085,646 Vines View Entry Outline of Biblical Usage 1) the condition of without law a) because ignorant of it b) because of violating it 2) contempt and violation of law, iniquity, wickedness [View this word in Trench's Synonyms here.] Authorized Version (KJV) Translation Count — Total: 15 AV — iniquity 12, unrighteousness 1,  transgress the law + 4160 1, transgression of the law 1 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Mat 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. =========================================== I don't think many of us take sin seriously. While we're under grace, there's one condition of our salvation that's not negotiable, and that is faithfulness to the LORD. We stare inwardly, sometimes with vast humility, without the insight into determining the iniquity of our worldly affection. This is not sleeping with someone, male or female, or committing a crime against another. Iniquity is a deal-breaker, and refers in context to spiritual harlotry. The great spiritual harlot is, of course, Babylon, the symbol of rivalry for God's affection . She is the seductress of our souls, and if physical sin is forgiven by our sins being washed clean by the blood of the lamb, we are not eligible for redemption if we have consistently committed spiritual fornication with her. But, who amongst any of us has truly escaped her nets? We pray in unison, "Our Father, who art in heaven..... lead us not into temptation..." Confess that in our heart of hearts, we don't understand this to mean spiritual decadence. Yet, that's what will ultimately separate us from God if we don't shrug off the robes of the harlot and stop chasing the carnal Christianity that has destroyed the Apostles' work. Only two or the seven churches in the Book of Revelations has the chance of redemption. Most scholars understand this to be a metaphor for the totality of the church, with it's different sects, and eras through the ages. Most Christians would vehemently deny adhering to the Babylonian Mystery Religion, but, they are deceived, and need to pray about it for enlightenment. Because one of the easiest examples of how the harlot has seduced the church is Christmas, a holiday dedicated to the very satanic deity of the ancient world. Just because someone slapped the name of Christ on this holiday, doesn't diminish the total corruption. The spirit of the season may appeal to the senses, but, it is dangerous spiritual adultery. If you married a wonderful man, after being engaged to a louse, would the man who married you want to be remembered by the louse's name, or birthday, or with the trappings of celebratino that is abhorrant, eg, the pagan, oh soooo pagan Christmas tree, yule logs, and mistletoe? God is a jealous God. This was one of the first mandates from God to man. He wrote it in stone, and also emphasized his standard, saying, "I will NOT give my glory to another." Here's what I've been seeing with a heavy heart: The Mystery of Iniquity, AND Babylon refer to the church or Christianity itself.. There is precedence for this in Amos, where God calls Israel and Judah whores for desiring the Mystery Religion. In Revelations 18, the glorious angel comes down with a proclamation: 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. And I heard another voice from heaven saying, Come  out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. What do Christians believe the Angel is saying? Why would he beckon them to leave Babylon if Babylon was not the Church?  Do they think it refers to Iraq? Do they think it refers to Satanic Temples? Why would Christians be there? Do they think Babylon is a metaphor or for the USA? What would the Angel expect us to do, to leave a country, and for where else? No, we've been led astray, my brother. We've been under the supervision of a church system that was sabotaged long ago, first by Rome, and then by the Ecumenicals, and finally the world system. Half the churches, if not more, spend their sermons preaching social sedition, or change, ignoring the heavenly realm altogether. The others have drifted into prosperity teachings, and entitlement beliefs. Oh, we love Christmas, Easter, and the trappings of tradition, but, these seemingly good, at least innocuous mainstays are straight from the mystery religion. We're in trouble, and to save yourself, my brother, you have to do like Elijah did, like Moses did. We need to leave the church and go out into the wilderness with or hairy coats and preach holiness and salvation without the worldliness of ceremonies and rituals which are most likely abominations to God, and cherished by man. I always marvel that the most Antichristian people you can possible know always have the biggest and  most ostentatious Christmas. That's because it is a carnal holiday and dedication. To put CHrist's name on it is abomination, even the abomination of desolation. It is a symbol of the mark of the beast, insofar as we are not being true to the Gospel, but, have gone our own way, preferring the world. It's deadly dangerous, and it's time for us to put away foolishness, and grow up spiritually. This is childhood's end. We're facing the real deal, and it's no joke. I wanna leave this place. If y'all wanna leave, too, put away the trappings of sin, and pray for enlightenment.  DARE to oppose the conventions of this evil.

The Name of God

God has identified himself by many names, but,
this one is the ultimate. He identifies himself to
Moses, in the Book of Exodus :

Exd 20:5

Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God [am] a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth [generation] of them that hate me;

Exd 20:6

And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

I the LORD
thy God
[am] a jealous
God,
visiting
the iniquity
of the fathers
upon the children
unto the third
and fourth
[generation] of them that hate

And shewing

mercy

unto thousands

of them that love

me, and keep

my commandments.

For the Angels to come....and for us aware

This is my new decade dedication. I think that we could
be approaching the days when as darkness descends,
we will be visited by the celestial beings who glorify
our Lord.
.

There aren't many stories of real angels in the Bible.
But, when there are, I notice that the humans who
they bless had the insight to offer them food and
shelter, so, I hope to be able to recognize one.

Angels, in their true form, are ten feet tall,
and winged, and in the case of Cherubim, multi-
faceted, multi-dimensional, indescribably
complex. These Beings cannot walk amongst us
in this form, and the only way we have record
of them is when the prophet was transported
to their realm.

When angels visit man, they are reduced to our
very limited sphere and must conform to our
flesh. The first thing that they must feel is
discomfort from hunger, thirst, temperature,
fatigue, and all the limitations and discomforts
of flesh and blood.

That very portrait of them elaborates how precious
Christ is as our High Priest in Heaven, for He
endured our existence with all the frailties,
temptations, feelings, emotions, hungers, and
desires. He is empathetic to us because he walked
amongst us.

When he was risen and returned to the Apostles,
they were busy gushing and checking out his
pierced hands, while he was more concerned with
what they were going to feed him. It's a tad
confusing, but, so poignant and touching.

When the Angel of the Lord visited Abraham,
he didn't discuss divinities with him, but,
prepared the best darn supper he could cook,
sparing nothing. He offered him shelter and
after these, he was blessed.

It's pretty late, and my ability to describe my
image of angels is lacking. I'm no prophet,, but,
I want to be one of the saints. As a brother of
the highest order of Melchizadec, our precious
Lord Yeshua, we are also bound to his servants,
the angels. When they surround us, let's try to
remember their discomfort at having to walk in
our shoes. Let's try to consider their needs
and comfort. Give them the best meal you can.
Give them a safe place to sleep, unless they
refuse. Chances are, they won't, but, even if
they don't look like angels, treat all strangers
as if they could be one of God's own army.

Don't worry about feeding them vegetarian.
They're here to live like us, and we were
made to consume all things for the time being.
After the Advent, we will still eat, but,
only then, will nothing die, and nothing will
be killed.

I already have a list of foods that I plan to
offer them. Ice-cream is on the list.
Just an idea.

I know we're all taught to fear strangers,
but, maybe if we treat all those who we
see like angels, it would be a better world,
even without Christ living amongst us. In
fact, isn't that what Christ would want?
Better to live like that in any event,
and make living for Christ a reality
each day.

Happy New Decade! Come back Lord, our
Precious Alpha and Omega.

And Where Were Jacob Sverdlov's Sons?

Very moving poem!!!! (I take this seriously.) \

Thank you SeanMatgmna.)

AND WHERE WERE JACOB SVERDLOV'S SONS?

Author:

Sean Matgamna

AND WHERE WERE JACOB SVERDLOV'S SONS?

Sverdlov killed the bloody Tsar,
He signed the warrant for it;
So when they struck his statue down
The Tsarists cheered who saw it:
They hauled the hollow statue down,
And the Tsarists sang when they saw it.

And where were Jacob Sverdlov's sons?
And Lenin's proud granddaughters?
And where were Trotsky's Bolsheviks?
All of them lost, slaugtered;
All of the leaders, fighters, Reds,
All of them, all, slaughtered!

They made no statues out of bronze,
The heroes Stalin killed;
In Lubianka and Vorkuta
They died, their voices stilled:
The Tsar's song fills the air this dawn
Because their voice was stilled

They died defending working folk,
And who now cares to tell
Their tale, recall the fight of those
Old Communists who fell?
With lies they've sealed the graves of those
Old Communists, too well.

When tsarists sing the Tsar's old song
And Socialism's worth a sneer,
Who cares for the Reds that Stalin killed?
Dim pictures from afar
Of the tribe wiped out to clear the way
For those who hail the Tsar.

And where were Jacob Sverdlov's sons,
And Trotsky's armed granddaughters?
And where were Lenin's Bolsheviks?
All of them, all, slaughtered;
All of the leaders, fighters, Reds,
All of them, all, slaughtered!

Damn Joseph Stalin

Damn Joseph Stalin.

Historical records, as well as public records, establish
facts. Stalin had no scruples in changing or manufacturing
public records. In doing this, he could effectively establish
lies.

This picture was of my grandfather taken in Russia
when he was probably in his 30s....


Veniamin Sverdlov, Commisar of Education
under Joseph Stalin

This picture was taken of him in the 40s or early 50s in
America when he was in his 70s.

Benny Swedlow, grandfather in 1950s


The problem is that he was officially executed in 1939
by Joseph Stalin.


Except, he lived to tell his grandchildren about his past.

I wasn't one of them, because, I wasn't born yet. I was
the midlife baby of my mom, who was a midlife baby of
her mom. My first cousins were old enough to be my
parents, so, I'm out of step for nearly a generation.
Not that I'm not old, but, I'm not that old.

In the 1950s, the Rosenbergs were executed for
passing secrets to the Israeli gov't. Joseph
McCarthy was on a crusade. Somewhere in California,
my grandfather was freaking out. If they fried the
Rosenbergs, they would burn him at the stake.

He had led a completely double, or triple life.
At one point in his youth, he had been involved
in international espionage, along with the
famous spy, Sidney Reilly. Who knows what
his involvement was, but, he was also part of the
fledgling Soviet State, from it's inception.

After emigrating to America, and becoming a
citizen, he went back to the USSR, and became
part of his brother's cabinet to assist in the
formation of the Soviet system.

He went back to America after his brother died,
and during this period, he became an American
business owner.

After Stalin seized power, he was invited to come
back to the USSR, and played various roles in
the government. He was probably the only US
citizen to live a simultaneous life as a complete
Soviet official.

Secret lives. Secret families... He married a Soviet
actress.

I always thought his well-known philanderies
were part of his double life, but, in fact, his American
children were the secret.

He was a Soviet star, through and through.

He abandoned my mom's siblings in the
aftermath of his wife's poisoning death.
Did she kill herself, as was believed ?

That's what the story was, but,
it makes you wonder if a man associated with
Stalin wouldn't poison his wife. In any event,
it was shameful to abandon six children
following the death of their mother. My mom
was just a child.

They nearly starved to death, but, he went
back to Russia to assist the government of
Stalin, being Commissar of this and that. His
titles were manifold and impressive.

Only in 1939 Stalin, his friend, decided to
have him executed, ostensibly.

His life in Russia was obviously over, so, he came
back to the USA to live out his days in anonymity.
No longer Veniamin Sverdlov, he was Benny
Swerdlow. He established contact with his
older children, and by the late 40s, he wanted
to know them, except, they didn't know if they
wanted him.

My two uncles knew about him, and his
family, but, it was always a big secret.

In the mid 50s, at the height of the McCarthy
purge, he fled for his life, and turned up at
his children's doorsteps, claiming to want to
get to know them. My dad turned him away,
but, my uncle took him in. He told his
grandchildren about his life, sort of....

He died in 56, this time, for real.

It was still not a cool thing in the 1960s
to speak of it. In the 80s, my uncle Julius
told me about the "curse of Rasputin",
which I still don't understand, but, it was
in relation to his family being important
in Russia. It took me decades to piece
together threads of narrative to explain
who we came from, but, the final pieces
became clear this week, when I learned
he was listed as being executed in 1939.

I had read that before, and thought it was
an error. Obviously it wasn't true, but, now
it appears that it was an official record.

Like I said, Damn Stalin. He secured the
death of the Manchurian candidate, so
to speak, and sent him back to his secret
life. Poor man must have despaired seeing
the Rosenberg's executed. If McCarthy got
a hold of him, he'd be the only man in
history, officially executed twice, and by
two separate governments.

It's quite a story. When I began this quest
to learn of his story, I just thought it would
be a revelation how a Russian revolutionary
would find a haven in American democracy.
Boy was I mistaken.

Meanwhile, there is no doubt in my
mind what happened. He couldn't have
been executed in 1939. So much for the
history books.

A spies life is something we'll never understand.
Which side Benny was on, we'll never know.
He was either double nought, or triple nought.
He was "executed" by Stalin for being "anti
communist" and probably feared being hunted
by McCarthy for being a communist.



No wonder we're cursed.

Christ in Yom Kippur

Today is my dad's birthday. He was born on Yom Kippur, and
today, his birthday falls again on that date, which doesn't
always correspond with our calendar.

I believe Christ was born on this day, as well. Here's why:

What would compel a nine month pregnant teenager to
endure an arduous and dangerous trek from North israel
to the Southern city of Bethlehem? Not merely a census.

I believe the census was timed to correspond to the holiest
day of the year, a day when the scattered tribes would be
most willing to travel home to their tribal city to reunite
with relatives, and honor their heritage.

Yom Kippur is the holiest day of the year, and it is also
the Day of Atonement, as well as the New Year.

On this day, after fasting and repentence, God is
supposed to forgive our past sins, and open up a
clean page in the Book of Life, so we will sin no
more.

This describes Christ. He is the LAMB of God, and
by HIS sacrifice of blood, our sins are removed, and
we are given a new page in the Book.

No blood of lambs, rams, goats, bulls or pigeons
can wash our sins clean, but, the Lamb of God,
who is our Savior, did just that.

When Mary went into labor, and gave birth,
many already believed she was producing the
Messiah. Why is that?

Mary was the ancestor of King David, and Joseph
the heir to Solomon. Even though Joseph was not
Christ's biological father, legally, he inherited his
father's claim to the throne, if their were one, that
is.

But, most importantly, Christ was recognized by
the most pious of the Temple Jews because they
were praying and waiting for that Son of David,
the Messiah, and on that Yom Kippur, the
miracle of his birth, coincided with their religion.
He would take away their sins. He was the one.

Anyway, that's my story, and I'm sticking with
it~!

Father God, in the Name of Jesus, Y'shua
HaMaschiach, I praise you and humbly
accept the grace which permits me to be
acceptable in YOUR HOLY PRESENCE.

By your gift of Christ to us, our sins are not
accounted to us, and may all those who call
on you not be ashamed, but, continue on the
path of righteousness, being beacons of light
in the increasing darkness.

Father, I think the final Antichrist is now
in power, and yet, I will not fear, for you
are much more powerful, as the sky is to
the mud of the earth. I will not fear, for you
are with us, and in us, through the Holy Spirit.

I ask that you strengthen the weak knees, and
wavering hearts, giving all of us the vision to
recognize the truth, and resist evil. Please do not
abandon any of us who call ourselves by your
name.

Thank YOU for this day of remembrance, and
that Jesus Christ is our Atonement and propitiation.
Thank YOU for all your miracles and blessings.

I adore you with all my heart and soul, and
strength. I ADORE YOU LORD~

I am so in love that I get light-headed. When
will you come Lord? Do not wait very long.
The daughter's of Jerusalem may chide
us, but, we are your bride, waiting for
your footsteps upon the hills. Do not
wait much longer.

I am so excited to see the signs of your
approaching kingdom!!!!

How could any one resist you?

My sweet and HOLY Lord, how do I
even address you, or how can I be
so blessed to know you? You are my
everything. NOTHING else matters
sometimes. I only want to spend
eternity in your presence worshipping
you every last minute of every day for
all eternity. I ADORE YOU!!!!!!!!

Happy New Year~

UPDATES

I haven't blogged lately, but, I'm back! First updates on
my personal life is that John has proposed again, and
I promised to marry him. We spoke for hours last night,
and I can plainly state he is my true soul mate. That will
never change. So, John, I love you with all my heart and
soul. Once we can decide where we can live together
without being miserable, we will be together forever.

For some reason, John hates Paradise (South Florida)
and he knows I am not a small town girl. I love St.
louis, though, and maybe we can find a place for us.

Next, I am thrilled that Phil Spector was finally found
guilty of second degree murder, and is finally remanded
to custody. This psychopathic demon has walked around
free as a bird, for SIX years, while beautiful and kind
Lana was robbed of her life. Finally, an LA jury had
the integrity and courage to find a famous person
culpable for a heinous crime. Finally, a celebrity is
accountable for his crimes.

I had the opportunity to speak to Phil's son during
the last trial, and he told me things that broke my
heart. Phil, once worth 100 million dollars, didn't
pay for college, or help his son after he was in an
accident. As children, he and his brother were locked
in their rooms like prisoners, for days on end.

Finally, Phil is not in control. Justice has prevailed.

Also, I have to declare my infatuation with
American Idol superstar, Adam Lambert.
I don't remember ever being this moved by a
singer, since Robert Plant and Freddie Mercury.

While he has the heartbreaking beauty of the
young Elvis Presley, he actually has a voice
that exceeds any previous idol or superstar
of the past. He has that Robert Plant effect,
with the ability to send electricity down your
spine and cover you in goosebumps. I have
actually been choked up and crying during
his songs. He is THRILLING, and seems like
the most humble and gentle soul.

He has that goth darkness, with an inner core
of light. WHile openly gay, he has an androgenous
appeal, and seems almost too good to be true.
I can't believe he hasn't been signed yet, but,
he is a spectacular singer.

Finally, it looks like another psychopath is going
to be facing the Death Penalty. The odious
Casey Anthony, who is alleged to have murdered
her breathtakingly beautiful 2 year old daughter,
is looking at being the next female on Death Row.
This is such good news.

I held my peace during the period when Caylee
was found, hoping her parents and brother would
honor their murdered 2 year old to be honest and
cooperate. That didn't happen. Her mother has
demonstrated a bizarre behavior that almost
eclipses Casey's pathological lies and murderous
behavior. Her mother, Cindy Anthony, gives
me a colder chill than even Casey.

It goes to show you that not only doesn't an apple
fall far from the tree, but, homicidal pathology
is often nurtured by insanely cruel and lying
parents. It's too bad that Cindy Anthony isn't
locked up beside Casey because I believe with
all my heart that if it weren't for the rotten
mother, and grandmother, Cindy, the baby would
be alive. It was a joint calamity, whose catalyst
was a very dysfunctional family under the
reign of terror of Cindy Anthony. No wonder
George Anthony tried to kill himself.

But, as much as I thought Lee was the child's
father, he isn't . I feel sorry for him to have
been born into this creepy family. I hope he
can extricate himself from their tentacles.
This group reminds me more of the Manson
family, than the otherwise ostensibly nice-looking
middle-class people they portray themselves
to be. It's scary that Cindy, as an RN, is
administering care to patients, when she
can cold-bloodedly accept the murder of
her grand daughter, and lie about it to
protect her own ego. Her narcissism and
lies are more outrageous than her damaged
daughter.

Anyway, that's my opinion, anyway:
John is my soulmate.
Phil SPector is in prison baybee!!! YAY!
Adam Lambert is the best American Idol
ever.
Casey Anthony will be on Death Row
and hopefully executed in 2012.

Christ's message to the First Church in Ephesus

Rev 2:1 Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write;
These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his
right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden
candlesticks;

There are seven spirits before the throne of God,
and seven candlesticks. In the right hand of Alpha
and Omega, the Beginning and Ending, the First and
Last, there are seven stars, which are the angels of
the seven churches in Asia Minor. The seven
candlesticks are the seven churches.

Ephesus is where Mary, mother of Jesus went to
live. I find this divinely ironic. Ephesus was the
capital of Diana worship. In fact, the church posed
a threat to the prosperous idol trade. Mary usurped
the false goddess, not that Mary was a goddess,
even though the Roman system eventually morphed
Mary with Diana. This reality represents the
greatest threat to salvation, the combination of
paganism with Christianity. Almost all sins can
be forgiven but, as we learn with the admonitions
to the seven churches, the worst sin, is corrupting
the religion, the Jewish religion, with paganism,
yet, we see with the church of our age that it
is completely paganized with exactly these
remnants from the old customs.

John addresses the seven churches, that along with
the Apostles, he helped found, in order of how they
ministered to them first to last. He was an exile on
the isle of Patmos, and it's the end of the Apostolic
First Century. The seedling seven churches were
to be the template of the Church.

He is supposed to have finally been able to go
back to Ephesus, and this is where he joined
Mary in death. I believe John was Mary's youngest
child, and Christ's half-brother. He was the last
of the original disciples and Apostles, and
was at least 100 when he passed away.
He wrote the Gospel and letters of John.
He sat on Christ's right hand side during the
last Passover supper. He calls himself, "the
one who Christ loved." He is known for his
message of "all you need is love."

Rev 2:2 I know thy works, and thy labour, and
thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them
which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say
they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:

1. WORKS
2. LABOR
3. PATIENCE
4. VIRTUE and TRUTH


Rev 2:3 And hast borne, and hast patience, and for
my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.


Rev 2:4 Nevertheless I have [somewhat] against thee,
because thou hast left thy first love.

This church has all the attributes endowed by Christ,
especially diligent to build up and establish the Word
of God. They do not suffer false Apostles or infiltrators.
They have brought forth many souls into the Kingdom
of God. This is a strong and fruitful church, but, this
isn't enough to buttress them from the ominous complaint
from Christ, that they've left their first love.

From experience, I know that I've gotten so involved
in studying the Bible and doing good works, that I've
lost touch with the simplicity of the message of hope
and love in Christ. I've gotten puffed up and proud
of my knowledge, and sacrifices, chastity and piety,
but, not for too long, because, I've always been thrown
back to the pit.

It's a fine line we walk, and in our zeal to be perfect,
to be Christlike and holy, we abandon the original
love we had when we were first saved.

Without humility, love, kindness and the passion
towards God which sanctifies us, our good works,
piety and studying are in vain.

Rev 2:5 Remember therefore from whence thou
art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else
I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy
candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.

Rev 2:6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds
of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.

There are two schools of thought interpreting
Nicolaitans. The most likely meaning is by considering
verse 2:14 when addressing the 2nd Church, the
condemnation is leveled at Balaam, who put
stumbling blocks before the children of Israel.

In the context of the Church, the Greek word for
Nicolaitans is loosely interpreted to convey the
meaning of "destroyer." Baalam had a Hebrew
translation of "swallower." But, the context is
too similar not to embrace this interpretation.

The second interpretation is that the word
for Nicolaitan is a compilation of Greek words
that mean hierarchy, condemning the promotion
of brethren above each other, such as with
high offices of clergy, when all brethren are
endowed with equality.

Even though the hierarchical structure of both
the Catholic and Protestant churches have room
for criticism, I doubt this was blasphemous since
there was a foundation for elders, bishops and
Apostles, established by Christ.

The Nicolaitans seem to refer strictly to a
sect that combined pagan ritual, and were
deliberately corrupting the doctrines of the
church by introducing idolatry and traditions,
as were their customs in the former pagan
temples that the churches replaced.

They most likely found it acceptable to take
the Christian symbols of faith, and incorporate
them into the pagan religion they were
accustomed to. Indeed, this is why the
church became corrupt, in the first place.
This may not seem like a great deal, but,
it is.

This is the basis for the great judgment of
the church, and why the church is considered
the whore. A whore will sleep with lovers for
money, or pleasure, carelessly abandoning
her first love. This is what the Israelites did
in the Old Testament, and why they were
sent to Babylon. This is also what the churches
did, when they also incorporated the pagan
customs into their religion. It is spiritual
harlotry, and the greatest sin of all.

This mixing of cultures inevitably corrupted
the church, as we see with pagan festivals
like Christmas being completely established
in the church. Few Christians even care that
these things were anathema, and forbidden.
They were stumbling blocks to the first churches,
and have led to great heresies today.

Rev 2:7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what
the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that
overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life,
which is in the midst of the paradise of God.

This phrase, "he that hath an ear.." is repeated
throughout the admonitions to the seven churches.
How many Christians read Revelations, feeling
confident that these warning do not apply to
them, while decorating Christmas trees, painting
Easter eggs, or even unwittingly stumbling in
false beliefs inherent in even the seemingly most
established churches?

How many of us hear sounds, but, do not listen
to what the words are saying? IF Christ is
telling us that it is NOT okay to combine any
pagan custom into the Jewish religion, which
is what Christianity is, then, will many hear this?
Unfortunately, not many.

Like the Ephesians, even the best churches, full
of good works and zeal, may lose their first love.
The first love is Jesus, and Jesus' religion was
JUDAISM, not pagan customs.

When we read these final words of Christ to the
Church, they refer to ALL OF US, and it's our
duty to take these words to heart. If the first
churches were almost all corrupted by the end
of the First Century, when they had the Apostles
and their gifts, how much worse is it for the
predecessors of those churches, which shepherd
our souls today?

Unless we break free of the bondage of carelessly
participating in men's traditions, without heeding the
true Gospel message, we are all in danger of losing
our souls. We need to take it seriously.

The churches will preach against homosexuality
and sex, but, these are not fatal stumbling blocks
to salvation, and we are usually aware of these
sins of the flesh. We all have committed them.
Lusting after someone of the same sex is the
same sin as someone lusting after a member of
their own sex. It is not in our sexual behavior
which commends us to God. I'm not saying it's
okay to fornicate. All I'm conveying is that
not one of us is without sins of the flesh. If
they're not sexual in nature, they're pride,
or eating too much, etc.

Corrupting the doctrines of Christ,
mixing his theology with paganism, is what will
be held against us. Yet, the church, even good
churches, and good Christians are hopelessly
careless.

These carnal sins will not damn us, but, the seemingly
innocuous act of hanging ritual mistletoe is far greater
a sin, according to the way the Nicolaitans and how
they introduced these very pagan rites into
Christianity, just like Baalam corrupted the
Israelites into temptation by offering them
food offered to idols. Christmas is far far far
more egregious than this error.

Ephesus (Ἔφεσος)
Ancient City of Anatolia
(Efes)

The Celsus Library

According to the New Testament, Ephesus became an
important center for early Christianity from the 50s AD.
Paul used it as a base and spent there more than two years
on his third missionary journey (Acts 19:8, 19:10, 20:31).
He became embroiled in a dispute with artisans, whose
livelihood depended on selling the statuettes of Artemis
in the Temple of Artemis (Acts 19:23–41). He wrote between
53 and 57 A.D. the letter 1 Corinthians from Ephesus (possibly
from the "Paul tower" close to the harbour, where he was
imprisoned for a short time). Later Paul wrote to the Christian
community at Ephesus, according to tradition, while he was
in prison in Rome (around 62 A.D.)

The Apostle John lived in Asia Minor (Anatolia) in the last
decades of the first century and from Ephesus had guided
the Churches of that province. After Domitian's death the
Apostle returned to Ephesus during the reign of Trajan,
and at Ephesus he died about 100 AD at a great age.
Ephesus was one of the seven cities addressed in
Revelation (2:1–7), indicating that the church at Ephesus
as still strong.

Two decades later, the church at Ephesus there was still
important enough to be addressed by a letter written by
Bishop Ignatius of Antioch to the Ephesians in the early
2nd century AD, that begins with, "Ignatius, who is also
called Theophorus, to the Church which is at Ephesus, in
Asia, deservedly most happy, being blessed in the greatness
and fullness of God the Father, and predestinated before the
beginning of time, that it should be always for an enduring
and unchangeable glory" (Letter to the Ephesians). The
church at Ephesus had given their support for Ignatius,
who was taken to Rome for execution.

The house of the Virgin Mary (Turkish: Meryem Ana,
meaning "Mother Mary"), about 7 kilometers from Selçuk,
is believed to have been the last home of Mary, mother of Jesus.
It is a popular place of pilgrimage which has been visited by
three recent popes.

The Church of Mary close to the harbor of Ephesus was
the setting for the Third Ecumenical Council in 431, which
resulted in the condemnation of Nestorius. A Second Council of Ephesus
was held in 449, but its controversial acts were never approved

by the Catholics. It came to be called the Robber Council of Ephesus
or Robber Synod of Latrocinium by its opponents
