Getting Your Just Desert In the Next Life

Chicago was rejected as a city for the Olympics this morning, and all of the conservatives are gleeful. Chicago was bumped along with Tokyo in the first round of voting. In the next round they decided for Rio instead of Madrid. Had a played my hunch and fought the odds I would have won money. The way I heard it Rio was always more favored than Chicago. But the way they told it yesterday, Chicago was ahead, and moved dramatically ahead in the betting after the President showed up. Of course we are reminded that Rio de Janeiro has a really high crime rate.

Astrological indicators aren’t at all good either personally for me next week, and also for the country. If there is going to be a military attack by Iran against whoever, next Monday or Tuesday are very likely days. Unlike President Bush with 9 – 11 indications are that President Obama will under-react. Also there are indications that Hillary and particularly Bill Clinton will be involved in an adverse way, Bill Clinton could well interject some unwanted stray comment into the mix. I don’t think Al Qaeda will be involved at all but if by chance they are, it will be bad.

Governor Swartzenegger wants to put in bullet trains to insure high speed transit between the north and the south ends of the state, and he says we can start construction as early as 2011. Do you ever get the idea that history is running in slow motion? Where do we get the money from? I thought we were broke.

Apparently there is some deal with Iran where Russia will be instrumental in their nuclear reactor inspections. People are saying that Iran’s “compliance” should be the big news of the day rather than David Letterman’s pecadillos.

Unemployment has notched up from 9.7% to 9.8% as new jobless claims proved to be higher than expected. But June of 1983 was still worst they tell us.

This is Sunday October 4th in the early evening. There were two "signs" God gave to me on Friday. One was he said that "If you can pick up channel eleven before breakfast, then go ahead and publish that astrological prediction of yours". The other sign is part of the prediction that on Saturday or Sunday the weather would cool off DRAMITCLY. this is just what the weather did, particularly today. Whatever "incident" with Iran that occurs Monday or Tuesday will have been in one way or another "building" for seven and a half years. This is astrologically indicated. The incident will not be satisfactorally dealt with by our government, but there will be a tendency to want to "wish it away" like it never happened. I hope I'm wrong about all of this.

I am still sticking by my astrological prediction for next week. Dennis Prager said that after we die that we will be “rewarded” but not necessarily by going to heaven. Of course when people think of heaven and describe what we know, it comes off as childish. Unfortunately when we were a child was the last time most of us actually believed in heaven, so we can only draw on our prior experience. But an intriguing question would be that if you knew you were on God “good side” and that you would be rewarded in the next life, what would you ask for as a reward? I happen to think of Kate Roberts and her conversation with Elvis last week where he said to her “You know all that damning evidence that my father made disappear last week, I can just as easily make to reappear”. When he said this something clicked in my brain, and I realized that I could make KTTV “reappear” merely by flexing the ground wire of the antenna a different way. But many of us would dearly love it is a lot of “evidence” against us just “disappeared” never to be heard from again. Some people including myself would like their sexual virility restored to when we were 25 and the idea of 72 virgins is definitely appealing. Unfortunately, sex is one thing we will NOT have in heaven. Scripture expressly says this. A lot of things Christians believe about heaven aren’t necessarily so. Many believe that we will have angel wings and will be able to fly. Most people believe that gravity in heaven will be no problem. Many believe we will be able to fly and exist in outer space and visit other planets. Most people believe we will somehow be psychic in heaven and will be instantly able to receive thoughts from others and will be able to communicate our own thoughts. Many believe transport will be instantaneous, even better than the Star Trek transporter beams. Many believe God will sit down with us and explain to us all the mysteries of life, and review our lives and go through it step by step and tell us what we did wrong, and also what we did right. Unfortunately none of these things are mentioned in the Bible. But revelations does say that the righteous dead will remember the deeds done against them by others while they lived on the earth. One evangelist as I indicated above, said this morning that the secret of getting God to do things for you by nature of a reward or whatever, is not to “prove yourself” or to make protestations of your great love for God. Rather, he said that the key to God’s blessings is to realize how much God loves YOU. This is an intriguing prospect. There is no indication Christians will even go to heaven, except for the first seven years, which I have described as “dinner and a tournament” where we watch the events on earth unfold. But beyond this I can’t figure out for the life of me what we will even be doing.
