For the love of all that is good in this world...
Being unemployed is taking a huge toll on my taste in music. For some reason all day I've just been alternating Justin Timberlake's "Sexy Back" and Bubba Sparxxx "Ms. New Booty"... It's like my subconscious is telling me, "Fine, if you're going to sit home like a loser you're going to listen to loser music." Although, I have been known to love a Justin Timberlake song or two in my time regardless of employment.Music was the lightest topic I could think of to discuss. Mostly these days my thoughts are filled with questions far too big for blogging. The main one is "Is humanity on the verge of destroying itself? And, if this is the case, what can I do to stop it?" I think I'm about to jump on the "These are the end times!" bandwagon, only minus the getting sucked up to heaven by a God who is so happy that we destroyed the world that he rewards us by saving us from the consequences of our own actions. I understand that my attitude is a tad fatalistic, and I'm sure many would say "Why worry so much about something you can't change?"
But that is exactly the problem. There are too many people in this world who are not worried about the consequences of our actions. We are moment by moment altering humany history, and while it is easier to just put thoughts of nuclear war, famine, disease and global warming out of our heads, that means that we are blindly marching towards a fate where we have given up our power to change course.
So right now, in this moment, can we honestly say that we feel that it is fine that there are thousands of US detainees around the world who have not been given their right to a trial? Is it ok that Bush administrators are censoring scientific reports in order to coincide with their own agendas? Is it ok that our civil rights are slowly dwindling down to nothing? How soon before we fear our own controlling government more than we fear "terrorism"? And if these issues are not personally affecting us (yet), is it really ok to just ignore them until they do?
I've thought a lot about it, and although it's easier to live in blissful ignorance, I'd rather go down fighting.

Understanding the Fatal Flaws in Judeo-Christian-Islamic Prophecy
Hey Rachel,
Remember the saying that "the truth will set you (and others) free?" How does "opening one's eyes to the truth" relate to "making the blind see again" or "shining the light" or "illuminating a subject?" Notice the inherent symbolism associated with this supposed New Testament "miracle?"
Pay close attention, profundity knocks at the door, listen for the key. Be Aware! Scoffing causes blindness...
Here's the key to proving that the rapture and related expectations are complete nonsense based on the failure to understand (and the purposeful confounding of) the ancient Hebrew symbology used to construct all of these prophecies. Consequently, Christian timelines and interpretations of these prophecies are verifiably wrong on many key points.
Did you ever consider that Christianity is the False Prophet symbolized in the Apocalypse, that Rome (Vatican/Papacy) is the so-called anti-messiah, and Jesus Christ is the false messiah? I have produced stunning and comprehensive proof that this is the true interpretation of pivotal prophecies long confounded by Christianity's founders and leaders. Recasting the symbolism of earlier Hebrew texts as literal events in the New Testament is one of the central deceptions associated with Christianity.
The symbolism of seven years (tribulation, etc.) refers to seven 360-year cycles on the Hebrew calendar. Ezekiel 39.9 is referring to the 10th to 16th cycles inclusive, while the Apocalypse symbolizes the 11th cycle (second temple period) until now, the beginning of the 17th cycle (seventh angel/star/seal, etc.). Greece (Alexander the Great) conquered the Persian Empire and Judea during the 10th cycle and Rome did so again during the 11th cycle. Both Ezekiel and the Apocalypse are symbolizing an overlapping period of time that starts during ancient Judea and ends now. Gog refers to Greco-Romans (...from the "isles"), which means Magog is Eurasia and the "army" that besets "Israel" for seven "years" refers to the activities of the nations of the Greco-Roman/Vatican Empire over the previous two-plus millennia.
It is completely wrong to interpret any of these prophecies as literal timelines and events. Unlike Christian assertions, they symbolize long periods of time, pivotal situations, and the flow of activities during that period. Remember, they were written by ancient Hebrew sages, not Romans or other Europeans, and Revelation is the most symbolic of all prophecies. Consequently, in this context, "years" and "times" are symbols for 360-year cycles on the Hebrew calendar and days symbolize literal years. Therefore "Judgement Day," "Great Day" and "in that day" all refer to a literal year-long period. Accordingly, the so-called "Seven Years Tribulation" began in ancient Judea and is now nearing its end, not starting. The nations and followers of all three faiths of Abraham have been thoroughly deceived by Rome during the previous age, which ended in year 2000 (5760). A new age began in 2001 (5761) and now the seventh angel has begun to sound!

Getting involved is the best medicine. I'm familiar with the work of the three foundations that I'm listing. They are honest and wise stewards of the resources they receive.

You can't solve every problem but you can make a difference. Don't hide your light under a bushel. You have show much to give.
