Look Out! - Here Comes Tomorrow

Well here we are the last Friday in July. Football season isn’t starting nearly as early as it did, for instance in 1991 when the official season began September first. I have only heard one Back to School commercial, and other than the Atlanta Falcons, I haven’t heard of other teams opening training camps. In terms of what I predict for the future astrologically I’m supposed to be careful in the statements I make verbally and in writing the next two months. I’ll consider myself warned. Sylvia Brown predicts weather stuff. I don’t. Weather will be the last thing on our minds in the coming months and once again the hurricane season will have much fewer hurricanes than average. What I do see is a lot of sudden, new, troubling international incidents that will push the stock market down. August will of course be a record bad month in Iraq, and Bush will be very glad that congress is not in session. What I see in the campaign is one candidate dropping out suddenly, which will surprise and even shock people. In fact it might be due to unnatural causes such as an assasenation, that will invite much speculation for years to come. . A name just came to me out of the ether waves - - Berock Obama - - as a campaign whose campaign will suddenly be aborted, perhaps involuntarily. Housing declines will be only the first harvenger of an overall general decline in the economy starting at the beginning of next year. If Rush Limbaugh really is up in the ratings it only goes to show that media management has become more effective in making the population in general more conservative. It is my guess that this drought we’re in in Southern California will continue for most of next year. To summarize, the amount of governmental cover-up during the next few months will be unprecedented. A virtually identical version of the I Phone will be selling for $299.00 Several weeks ago we predicted Fred Thompson would not run, and we are right. We have become a country where the arrests of celebrities or the latest movie sequels are more important to the TV viewer than hard news. Candidates have lost control of their image in campaign thanks to You-Tube.

Thank you, Neil Diamond. This is Saturday morning and I just waited nearly a half hour for a pancake and bacon breakfast. It was a big old slab of bacon. I like a little fat on my bacon as well as the next fellow but this was rediculas. I decided I'd cut off the fat and dedicate it to Jehovah and eat the rest of the meat as a peace offering. So much for the religious mockery. Marcus was outside reciting a line from "The Godfather" as he loaned John Metz a cigarette.

On Passions they have this guy named Vince who has raped one woman and framed someone else for it. He then killed a lezbian and a bar tender when they each announced they had enlightening evidence to offer. He then had homosexual relations with a woman's husband just to get even with her. Now his mother and father, on the eve of the innocent man's scheduled execution, are debating what they should do with their newfound knowledge about their son. The concensus seems to be that even if an innocent man has to die that it's worth it to spare their murderous son any potential pain or disconfort. After all "He needs help" and the mercy of God. This is what a priest told him. (Too bad he didn't show the "Mercy of God" to his three victums) I forgot, he killed his therapist, too. That makes three. A lot of people have questions about God because it would seem that if God were "getting good advice", he'd be rewarding good people and punishing bad people. If God were getting advice from an evil person he'd be punishing the good- - - and rewarding evil people. We know from the book of Job that Satan sometimes advises God. Satan was there in heaven with God (where man is not allowed to go according to the O T) along with others of God's "Sons", whom most people believe are arch angels of some sort. Of course most of the O T has certain teachings about Jehovah, which, if you are an anti - dyspensationalist like I am, you believe that Jehovah still retains. In Jehovah's world the guilty are brought to a sure and certain death and the innocent are looked after. Yes you had polygamy - - but you also had a system of blood atonement using animals (most of the time) by which the ongoing curse of sin could be lifted from your life, and you would go your way removed from the curse and your life would be "blessed going out and blessed coming in", and all that stuff from Deuteronomy. They say "The wages of sin is death" but that's only the FINAL result. There are a lot of steps in between. The wages of sin is NOT, "Eternal damnation in a firey Hell". Such a state was unknown to the Hebrews. When Jesus came the Marcionites argued that whatever attributes Jehovah had were now passe and no longer opperative. John the Baptist asked from his prison cell whether Jesus was the Messiah and Jesus said, "Tell John that the sick are healed and the demon posessed are delivered". Stewart Sutcliffe has comented on this verse "It doesn't matter whether a hundred received healing meracles or a thousand were delivered from demonic oppression- - are you the deliveror of the nation of Isrial from its bondage to Rome; that's the $64,000 question." Is good winning over evil? Even Dennis Prager believes in a God who rewards good and punishes evil, be they individual people or whole Nations or races yearning to be free.

I just want to say a word about the future. Sometimes you think you can hide from it. Some people get Life Insurance and some people don't. Some people think their lives are so good they don't need religion of any sort because they're "Set for life". They are married and have a good job and earn lots of money, and their wife is free from scandal in her past. Their family is well respected in the community. Their children are well liked and they keep out of trouble, and it school they don't get involved in any questionable left-wing projects. But the thing is with this list I could be describing a pastor's children, too. You know, the "good people". The thing is with Christians who are snobs and look down on others Jesus says, "They have their reward". Chuck Swendoll is a perfect dyspensationalist. Trust doctors. Don't go for devine healing. After these were "only to prove a theological point" and not for our time. Likewise don't get caught up in any "deliverance minestries" that deliver you from demons and Satan. And don't do any of this praying in tongues stuff. Jesus on KFI says "These people only pray in tongues to feel important". Basically what the ideal Christian seems to do is to get a God whom he doesn't need and brag about it to others how much he's been blessed, and make them feel spiritually inferior and not "flowing in the spirit" like his family is. Chuck Swendoll used to be the head of Evangelical Free church of Fullerton. Of all the church I've ever attended in my life this one wins first pries for most unfriendly. They were cold and unfriendly both when Chuck was there and after he'd departed. Swendoll left the church after delivering a number of sermons on how the congragation had let him down- - and in general was discontent with them. In a Pastor's mind you don't get Mad- - you get Even, by moving on to a bigger and better job. In this case that is Dallas theological seminary or some such thing. Head of the Baptist Church. Jesus said of these people, "You have your reward". Marcus, the guy here- - said this morning there were two things you should always remember. Never let go of your Dreams, and every time you point a finger there are two pointing back at you. In an attempt to appear pious, some Pastors will even envoke this line. If it's so for people like Chuck Swendoll, who questions your patriotisum if you didn't fight in the Viet Nam war- - then I am tempted to pronounce judgement on these pastors saying, "Be it done unto you as you have said." But the thing is you might not land up in Hell like the Rich Man in the Lazerus parable. Because that might not be the worst thing God could do to you. If you point the finger at others for the SIN of being poor and not being "blessed" and have no compassion for them, I'm sure fire and brimstone isn't the worst punishment God could think of. Some pastors might just consider that "Ambience". A little atnosphere. If Death is "the end" then this might not be the worst thing. Because the worst thing like Job that could happen is God takes away from you the things you value most. I'm just saying if God wants to punish you he knows how to hit below the belt.

Some look at the future still and say "Well your threats don't matter. Religion is alive and better than ever in George Bush's America". Let me offer you this one thought. They are discovering genes for new things every day. They may even have isolated biological causes of homosexuality. They're looking for the cause of autisum. They say there might even be a "religion" gene. There are Genomes. There are also epi-genomes, where genes are either switched ON or switched OFF by the substances identical twins ingest, that makes them diverge after a while. Sometimes a gene can cause cancer and sometimes a gene can prevent it. Suppose they declare Religion and notibally Conservative Religion as a "mental illness"? Don't laugh. There are already people from World Net Daily that think it's happening now. The thing is if Religion ever comes under government persecution that way where it's judged a mental illness- - these Christians are going to need something besides the toothless, emasculated God of the dyspensationalist. People say "If Jesus did another thing besides die on the cross I'd be happy" Don't be too sure. The Future may be here before you know it and Christianity may be snuffed out like yesterday's cigarette, which has also been banned. There may be a move twords Conformity that you can't believe government may decree. This stuff about "Diversity" is bull. Rush is right. The Rainbow coalition is anything but diverse. If and when Hillary Clinton becomes President we're all going to get used to a whole lot of new, oppressive things, which we never had to worry about before. Christianity is in mortal danger from future government.
