THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST: From 19/11 to 9/11


And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he does judge and make war.

Revelation 19:11

His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
And out of his mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treads the wine press of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. […] And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.

Other believers might totally ignore these words in their Bibles even when they say the whole Bible is the WORD of God, but as I read the words, it tells me once you get to heaven you might have to return to the Earth to be part of Christ’s Army waging WAR against the beast, and the kings of the earth, (1%, Presidents, Prime Ministers, CEOs, Senators, and other Idols of the People) and their armies.

But then, if you believe in the Book, you can do that while you’re alive on this earth NOW, before you die and get to heaven and have to come back.

I don’t see much of that happening in this world, even with all the wars the kings of the earth are waging, threatening more with FIRE and FURY like this World has never seen before. The spirit of those WORDS are already gone out into the World.

In 1981, I was receiving Spiritual impulses to hitch hike from Ottawa to Whitehorse in the Yukon to draw attention, symbolically, to the rider on that white horse. This was an ambitious 5000 mile round trip journey. Newspapers across CanaDa, including The Whitehorse Star chronicled this Mission of Faith.

1981 saw two other major events affecting power and politics. The revelation of these two events were part of the impulse that moved me to undertake such a long voyage in Faith.

March 30, 1981:
President Ronald Wilson Reagan is shot in the chest outside the C1426-24Washington Hilton Hotel. The president’s press secretary, James Brady, is also severely wounded, and Timothy McCarthy, a Secret Service agent, and Thomas Delahanty, a local police officer, are also shot. The assailant, John W. Hinckley, Jr., is seized at the scene. Confusion arises when Secretary of State Alexander Haig announces on television the he is “in control” while Vice President George Bush is flying back to Washington.

May 13, 1981:
Pope-John-paul-II-shotPope John Paul II is shot and seriously wounded as he rides in an open car through St. Peter’s Square in Vatican City. Two women tourists from the U.S. are also injured by bullets during the attack. The gunman is captured and identified as a 23-year-old Turkish terrorist.

And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.

And he does great wonders, so that he makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,

And deceives them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, (gun) and did live.

Revelation 13

Both the Pope and the President survived the wound by the sword (gun) and did live.

Whitehorse Star

Fast forward twenty years to 2001 and like everyone else in the world, I was shocked to witness the event of 9/11. It brought back the memory of the mission 20 years earlier. The only thing I said to everybody I came in contact with on 9/11 was, “The world as we knew it ended Today.”

On September 13, 1976, The Kansas City Times recorded my visit to the city and The Republican National Convention in the 1st of two reports where I identified the US as being the latter day Biblical Babylon. Those original newspaper records can be seen in the 1st report of this Blog, ‘From the Revolutionary Spirit of ’76 to the Revolutionary Spirit of ’11.’

Circumstantially and Spiritually, in my view, what happened on 9/11 is described in chapter 18 of the Book of Revelation.

And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.

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 (1%, Presidents, Prime Ministers, CEOs,  and other IDOLS of the People) 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 you be not partakers of her sins, and that you receive not of her plagues.
For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.
Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she has filled fill to her double.
How much she has glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she says in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judges her.

And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, (the smoke of her burning was not put out until April 2002)
Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is your judgment come. (It took 1 hour for the World Trade Towers [merchants] to come down)

And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buys their merchandise any more:
The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,
And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men. (the economy)

The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,
And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!
For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every ship master, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!
And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.

AND IN HER WAS FOUND THE BLOOD OF PROPHETS, AND OF SAINTS, and of ALL THAT WERE SLAIN UPON THE EARTH.

Revelation 18

If it was evil to murder 3000 ordinary people going about their daily routine to pay for the merchandise listed above, the US in it’s reaction magnified that evil by murdering over 125,000 innocent civilians in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan and Yemen going about their daily routines for the same reasons, and having nothing to do with 9/11.

The Americans rationalize those deaths simply as collateral damage and of no real concern, as if they were not human and as innocent as those Americans who died on 9/11. Americans dismiss any culpability without considering God is also the Judge of  Nations.

When American politicians say “God Bless America” it will be in vain until America humbles itself before Almighty God. That Reverend Wright might have been right after all by all the empirical evidence.

Seven years after 9/11 the world witnessed the other shoe dropping. Since the 2600 year old Bible story was written in the Captivity of Babylon, the whole world for the 1st Time at the same Time saw ‘The Writing on the Wall’ as the Global financial meltdown/economic Pearl Harbour-tsunami hit the world in September 2008.

As consumers buy less and less having less and less money left over to spend for their labours, the merchants are becoming increasingly worried no man will buy their merchandise any more in the near term Future in this real world.

Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, With what shall we be clothed?
(For after all these things do the Gentiles/unbelievers seek:) for your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things.
But first look for the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

Matthew 6:31-34

There is so much more involved than just Islamic terrorism as the major Powers of THIS WORLD would have you believe.

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of THIS WORLD, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Ephesians 6:12

Someone’s knockin’ at the door, Somebody’s ringin’ the bell
Do me a favor, Open the door and let ’em in

Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
To him that OVERCOMES will I grant to SIT WITH ME in my throne, even as I ALSO OVERCAME, and AM set down with my Father in his throne.
He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.      Revelation 3

In the 1st article of this Blog mentioned above, I report on becoming highly visible at The Republican National Convention in Kansas City in the Spirit of ’76.

I report how, to my great surprise and wonder, I was whisked out of a crowd of Ford Republicans in the sardine packed Lobby of the Crown Center Hotel and led to the podium of The President of the United States on a Secret Service restricted balcony.

With my shoulder length hair and beard, sporting a No. 13 jersey standing at The President’s podium, I found myself waving to all the people below and ABC, CBS & NBC broadcasting live. All eyes were looking up to that spot expecting President Ford to be standing there. Unexpectedly and somewhat dumbfounded finding myself in such an unusual position, it did not occur to me to speak into the microphone.

The very image and scene is uniquely revolutionary for any Republican or Presidential Appearance in the Spirit of ’76, or in the years before and since.

I was happy just being in the crowd below. As a Canadian, it was the 1st time I saw a President live, and even though I wasn’t a Republican, I was caught up in the excitement of the crowd. A band was playing the Paul McCartney & Wings tune in the video above.

You are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it gives light unto all that are in the house.
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

Matthew 5

‘Divine gifts’ inspire ex-executive to tramp the land with a message

January 14, 2017.

I just watched this 48 minute Documentary on the work done by a renowned Forensic Scientist on the “collapse” of the Towers on 9/11. She claims what happened on 9/11 was the demonstration of unlimited Free Energy, that while used for malevolent purposes on 9/11, the potential of that technology could move the Nations to beat their swords into plow shares and their spears into pruning hooks and the Nations would have no need for War any more.

I watched it alone, wishing I had someone to discuss what we just saw. I would urge you to gather some friends or even one, and watch it together. I’m sure you’ll agree with me it’s worth watching and sharing. This is not a conspiracy video. It is pure Scientific investigation based on solid evidence.

We were blinded to what we saw by the MSM in the saturation coverage saying all Day  over and over again, ‘the buildings collapsed because of the fire, so that’s was we saw.

This video restores our sight to the reality of what we all saw with our own eyes on 9/11, solid steel turned to dust in the air before hitting the ground.

Catastrophic Terrorism: Tackling the New Danger

 
 

IMAGINING THE TRANSFORMING EVENT

In December 1998, Former US Defence Secretary Ash Carter, US Undersecretary of Defence John Deutch and Philip Zelikow, Executive Director of the 9/11 Commission, colluded to write this in Foreign Affairs Journal,

A successful attack with weapons of mass destruction could certainly take thousands, or tens of thousands, of lives. If the device that exploded in 1993 under the World Trade Center had been nuclear, or had effectively dispersed a deadly pathogen, the resulting horror and chaos would have exceeded our ability to describe it.

Such an act of catastrophic terrorism would be a watershed event in American history. It could involve loss of life and property unprecedented in peacetime and undermine America’s fundamental sense of security, as did the Soviet atomic bomb test in 1949.

Like Pearl Harbor, this event would divide our past and future into a before and after. The United States might respond with draconian measures, scaling back civil liberties, allowing wider surveillance of citizens, detention of suspects, and use of deadly force. More violence could follow, either further terrorist attacks or U.S. counterattacks.

I find it curious it happened just like that 3 years later, and one of the Authors was able to control what information the 9/11 Commission was able to see?

Forensic Addendum: The Unheard Testimony on the Pavement

To fully understand the mechanics of narrative management exposed above, one must examine the physical and testimonial receipts that institutional commissions were designed to omit.

The late Dr. Graeme MacQueen’s ground-breaking research, “The Eyewitness Evidence of Explosions at the World Trade Center,” meticulously compiled and analyzed the official, transcribed testimonies of over 500 First Responders—firefighters, paramedics, and police officers who were physically present on the ground on September 11.

9/11 Truth vs. The Official Narrative: How 36 Reporters Brought Us the Twin Towers’ Explosive Demolition on 9/11

WARFARE WITHOUT LIMITS: A DARKENING HUMAN HORIZON


This article was written by Professor Richard Falk, currently the UN Special Rapporteur For Palestinian Human Rights.

Richard Falk is an International Law and International Relations Scholar who taught at Princeton University for forty years. Since 2002 he has lived in Santa Barbara, California, and taught at the local campus of the University of California in Global and International Studies and since 2005 chaired the Board of the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation.

There are several pressures that push war in the direction of the absolute, and imperil the human future. Perhaps, the foremost of these is emergence, use, retention, and proliferation of nuclear weapons, as well as the development of biological and chemical weapons of mass destruction. Since Hiroshima and Nagasaki there have been several close calls involving heightened dangers of wars fought with nuclear weapons, especially associated with the Cold War rivalry, none more serious than the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962. To entrust such weaponry to the vagaries of political leadership and the whims governmental institutions seems like a Mt. Everest of human folly, and yet the present challenges to nuclearism remain modest and marginal despite the collapse of the deterrence rationale that seemed plausible to many during the confrontation between the Soviet Union and the United States.

Underneath the tendency to develop for use whatever weapons and tactics that technology can provide is the fragmented political identities of a world divided into sovereign states. The inhabitants of these states of greatly varying size, capabilities, and vulnerabilities, have long been indoctrinated to view their own state through the idolatrous eyes of nationalism that view the extermination of the enemy as acceptable if necessary for national security or even desirable to satisfy national ambitions. The ideology of nationalism, nurturing the values of unquestioning patriotism, have led to an orientation that can be described as secular fundamentalism, vindicating militarist worldviews however dysfunctional given the risks and limits associated with gaining desired political ends by relying on military superiority. The crime of treason reinforces the absolutist claims of the secular state by disallowing defenses based on conscience, law, and belief.

As I have pointed out in other contexts, the militarily superior side has rarely prevailed in an armed conflict since the end of World War II unless also able to command the moral and legal heights wherein are located the symbols of legitimacy. The political failures of the colonial powers despite their military dominance provides many bloody illustrations of this trend of miltarist frustration that did not exist until the middle of the last century. Because of entrenched bureaucratic and economic interests (‘the military-industrial-media complex’), the experience is denied, military solutions for conflicts continue to be preferred, and futile recourse to war goes on and on.

One further check on the excesses of warfare is supposedly provided by the inhibiting role of conscience, the ethical component of the human sensibility. This sentiment was powerfully and memorably expressed by some lines in the Bertolt Brecht poem, “A German War Primer”:

General, your bomber is powerful

It smashes down forests and crushes a hundred men

But it has one defect:

It needs a driver.

This ‘defect,’ a driver is both a human cost, and maybe a brake on excess, as Brecht suggests a few lines later:

General, man is very useful

He can fly and he can kill

But he has one defect:

He can think.

Of course, military training and discipline are generally effective in overcoming this defect, especially as backed up by the nationalist ideology discussed above, while international humanitarian law vainly tries to give support to thinking and respecting limits. The Nuremberg Trials of Nazi surviving leaders even went so far as to decide that ‘superior orders’ were no excuse if war crimes were committed.

In the nuclear age this process went further as the stakes were so high. I recall visiting the headquarters of the Strategic Air Command (SAC) at the height of the Cold War. SAC was responsible for the missile force that then targeted many cities in the Soviet Union. What struck me at the time was the seeming technocratic indifference of those entrusted with operating the computers that would fire the missiles in contrast to the ideological zeal of the commanding generals who would give the orders to annihilate millions of civilians at a distant locations. I was told at the time that the lower ranked technical personnel had been tested to ensure that moral scruples would not interfere with their readiness to follow orders. I found this mix of commanders politically convinced that the enemy was evil and apolitical and amoral subordinates a frightening mix at the time, and still do, although I have not been invited back to SAC to see whether similar conditions now prevail. I suspect that they do, considering the differing requirements of the two roles. This view seems confirms by the enthusiasm expressed for carrying on the ‘war on terror’ in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks.

In this period new technological innovations in war making accentuate my earlier concerns. The reliance on drone attacks in Afghanistan (and elsewhere) removes the human person altogether from the war experience, except as in the role of programmer, and even here reliance on algorithms for targeting, removes any shred of responsibility. When mistakes are made, and innocent civilians are killed, the event is neutralized by being labeled ‘collateral damage,’ and an apology is issued but the practice goes on and is even extended.  More important is the chilling effect of removing that human presence, both as a person of one’s own nation being at risk and as a source of potential questioning and even refusal. It should be recalled that the anti-war opposition of American soldiers in Vietnam exerted a powerful influence that helped over time finally to bring this failed war to an end.

What is at stake ultimately is the human spirit squeezed to near death by technological momentum, corporate greed, militarism, and secular fundamentalism. This web of historical forces continues to entrap major political actors in the world, and dims hopes for a sustainable future even without taking into account the dismal effects of the gathering clouds of climate change. Scenarios of future cyber warfare are also part of this overall process of destroying societies without risking lives directly. The cumulative effect of these developments is to make irrelevant the moral compass that alone provides acceptable guidance for a progressive human future.

Warfare Without Limits: A Darkening Human Horizon

NOTICE: The following 2 videos have actual graphic scenes of revolting, disgusting, fearful, sickening violence, evil, and the depravity of man’s brutality toward man from the Past. This is not for the weak at heart.

If we cannot face the evils from our Past, and learn from them Today, we will be ill-equipped to deal with them in the Tomorrows of the Future if humanity does not change it’s values and ways?

For Now we have Faith, Hope and Love, but the Greatest of these is Love.

Leon Panetta, Head of Pentagon and C.I.A. under Obama, Says Brace for 30 Year War with ISIS

 

WHAT REALLY HAPPENED AT SODOM?


Nazi Propaganda Minister Goebbels said if a lie is repeated often enough, it will be accepted as the truth. Christianity has said for so long Sodom was destroyed because of gay sex, that interpretation is not questioned? I question it?

And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do; Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do JUSTICE and JUDGMENT; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he has spoken of him. And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;I will go down now, and SEE WHETHER they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and IF NOT, I WILL KNOW

Genesis 18

Now here is God saying, something is happening in Sodom. It´s not good. I don´t know exactly what it is, but I´ll check it out and then I´ll know for sure.

For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment;

God knows Abraham is a just man, wise in his judgment.God still doesn´t know for sure what the problem is in Sodom, but Abraham, in his concern pressed the Lord.

That be far from you to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from you: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?

And Abraham drew near, and said, Will you also destroy the righteous with the wicked?
What IF there are fifty righteous within the city: will you also destroy them and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are there?

Abraham is holding God´s feet to the fire in the manner of speaking, saying to God, is ¨collateral¨ damage acceptable to the Great God? Collateral damage is totally acceptable to the world powers these days.

Abraham is very bold with the Lord, pressing for a commitment.

sodomAnd he said to Him, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak: What if there shall be 30 found there? And he said, I will not do it, if I find 30 there.
And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord: What if there shall be 20 found there? And He said, I will not destroy it for 20’s sake.
And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: What if 10 shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for 10’s sake.

That’s good reasoning with God anyway you look at it, the stereotype for Jewish bargaining talents.

Come now, and let us reason together, says the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
If you be willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land:
But if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD has spoken it.

Isaiah 1

Abraham got the word of the Lord, but this implies the angels have orders to go into town, mingle with the people, and look for at least ten righteous people.

What would you be doing if the internet didn’t exist? No TV. radio, telephone, newspapers, movie theatres, public transit, electricity or indoor plumbing? No manufacturing plants or punch clocks and no clocks at all except sunrise and sunset? No air conditioning? Life would be so basic. Just surviving one day at a time would be an accomplishment. No knowledge about what is happening in the world beyond the city walls except when strangers come to town.

The streets were small and narrow, teeming with people looking for something, amusement, entertainment, anything to do to pass the evening.

And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground;

And he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you, into your servant’s house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and you shall rise up early, and go on your ways. And they said, Nay; but WE WILL ABIDE IN THE STREET ALL NIGHT.

And he PRESSED UPON THEM GREATLY; and they turned in unto him, and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat.

Lot wanted to get the information from the strangers firsthand, and he bugged them and bugged them until they abandoned their instructions to stay in the streets all night to find 10 righteous people.

The people would recognize strangers, but the angels must have had an aura about them that caused the Sodomites to pause and whisper to one another as Lot led them through the city streets to his abode. Lot wanted them all to himself.

As Lot feasted with the angels behind closed doors, word quickly spread through Sodom about these mysterious strangers. Curiosity was building. Where are they from? What news can they tell us about the larger world beyond the our city walls?

But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter:

ALL THE PEOPLE, OLD AND YOUNG FROM EVERY QUARTER. We have to assume women were included in ALL the people. Did they have a giant orgy in mind? Old, young, male and female? ALL the people?

The whole city was curious about the angel/strangers.

And they called to Lot, and said to him, Where are the men which came in to you this night? bring them out to us, that we may KNOW them.

I have no idea when and where it started, but some Christian somewhere read that somewhere else in the Bible, probably when Mary, the mother of Jesus, was visited by an angel in human form to tell her she will be the mother of God and she said, ‘how can this be since I have not “known man” Not known man means to be a virgin, so “to know them” was extrapolated to mean having sex.

I just don’t see that connection there in reading the story by this one line: bring them out to us, that we may KNOW them, and building a case that God destroyed Sodom because of gay sex.

What is worse, is people believe it because it’s preached from some pulpits, and don’t read the story for themselves and think with some realistic imagination to make up their own mind, nor have the ability to see the Spirit of the letter in their own “personal” relationship with God, but go by what other people tell them to believe. In the final analysis, it is not between you and them, but between you and God.

And Lot went out at the door to them, and shut the door after him,

Bring them out to us that we may know them. This is the third ¨KNOW¨”in the story. Bring them out! We want to know them. We want to know what they know about the outside world?

A detail in this story is that Lot shut the door behind him so the people did not know what was happening behind the closed door, neither did the angels know what was happening outside.

And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly.

Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof.

The first thing Lot tells the crowd is you can´t touch the men, but you can do what you want with my virgin daughters.  Is this righteous? Is Lot a loving, responsible parent? I don´t think so!

And they said, Stand back. And they said again, This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will NEEDS BE A JUDGE; now will we deal worse with you, than with them. And they pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and came near to break the door.

The people were pissed off at Lot by his free offer of his daughters. I supposed some would think they must be gay or they would want Lot´s daughters, but that´s not what the story says.

ALL THE PEOPLE said, this fellow Lot is new in town and he would judge us. WE want to know what the strangers know. We don´t want your daughters. They had righteous indignation over what Lot thought what they wanted and were angry.

But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door.

And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door.

At that point the men-angels only put out their hands from behind the door, and pulled Lot in, and didn’t really know what the commotion was all about!

The angels should have continued on their mission to spend the night in the streets to find 10 righteous people in the city, but they did not even come outside to see what the commotion was all about, and pulled Lot into the house.

Not only did the angels not do what they were supposed to do, they stayed with an unrighteous man who thought nothing of offering his daughters to a mob.

The rest of the story gets very bizarre.

And the men said to Lot, “Whom else do you have here? A son-in-law, your sons, and your daughters, and whomever you have in the city, take out of the place. For we are destroying this place, because their cry has become great before the Lord, and the Lord has sent us to destroy it.”

And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law, which married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place; for the LORD will destroy this city. But he seemed as one that MOCKED unto his sons in law.

Lot had many defects of character it seems.

Verses 30 to 36 I cannot imagine. Lot got so drunk, he didn´t know his daughters seduced him. He was so drunk, he impregnated his virgin daughters. Being that drunk, how could he get it up and not even know it?

Sodom was destroyed out of confusion.

Genesis 18

It is recorded Christ Jesus said the following words. It must be important to understand since it is referenced in so many places

But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the Day of Judgment, than for you.

LUNCH WITH THE POPE¨S AMBASSADOR

nunciature5.jpg

In 1985 I was extended the rare honour and recognition of being invited to lunch with The Apostolic Nuncio to Canada. That’s the Pope’s Ambassador.

Mindful of how Jesus talked to the establishment religious leaders, I was also mindful while he lives in me, I am not he. I am a sinner like the Pope, Presidents, Prime Ministers, CEOs and everyone else without exception.

Passing through the main Dining Hall with it’s seven foot fireplace and table seating at least fifty, The Nuncio, Charge D’Affairs, Secretary and I entered a beautifully decorated, intimate Dining room with a table for twelve. The dinnerware had a gold band around the edge with the Papal tiara crown in gold at the top. It was a formal setting. with the whitest linen tablecloth and flowers.

As the guest, the man for all Seasons and Reasons served me first and the Secretary last. At that point I deliberately picked up the dessert fork at the top of the plate to eat the rigatoni meat sauce appetizer with the most wonderful aroma just to see what would happen?

The Pope’s Ambassador stopped me, and pointing to the fork on the side said, “Use that one.”

Replacing it, I said, “Excuse me, Your Excellency. It’s been over ten years since I left the business world where I negotiated multi-million dollar deals in Board Rooms and fine restaurants. I’ve lost touch with that sense of refinement.

To tell you the Truth, Your Excellency, since I’ve been walking with Jesus, most of the people I encounter can’t even afford to eat good food, let alone have matched dinnerware.” Jesus was brutal talking to religious leaders.

Being a Diplomat and recovering, The Nuncio asked, “What’s on the mind of youth?” I answered, “Sex, drugs, music, peace, love, friendship, money, security and work, not necessarily in that order of priority.”

“Oh! It’s just like Sodom and Gomorrah was his reply. I replied, “Surely Your Excellency knows the Prophet Ezekiel said what the sin of Sodom was in Chapter 16:48. It was pride, fullness of bread and abundance of idleness was in her and her daughters and she was haughty. Neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy. It had nothing to do with sexual activity.” On that, The Apostolic Nuncio shushed both hands at me saying, ¨Eat! Eat!¨

All the nominally Christian Societies Today, fit within the reasons for the destruction of Sodom as described by the Prophet Ezekiel

Sitting in the front seat of the limousine with the man for all Seasons and Reasons living in the gatehouse with his Wife, and driving me home after lunch, he told me his wife is a Cormier. It was a surprise learning of that Co-incidence or design? Especially because a year earlier, in 1985 Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau quit his job 2 weeks after RCMP VIP Security questioned me at length on my attitude toward him?  It was a surprise to me he quit, and an even greater surprise when I learned he moved from the Parliamentary House to the Cormier House in Montreal, he bought 2 years after I entered his Life. For the last 7 years of his Administration, I was in the position to stand with him Face to Face and talk with or pass Pierre Trudeau a note without any Intermediaries.

Imagine if your Family Name was connected like that to both Political and Religious Powers? Co-incidence or design?

The RCMP have the Records on all that, like the US Secret Service has records on my presence in Kansas City during the 1976 Republican National Convention.

It was a surprise to me when the Secret Service called me out of the compressed crowd in the Lobby of The Crown Center Hotel for questioning, everyone looking up to the President’s Podium, symbol of Power, set up on the Secret Service restricted Mezzanine. The unexpected surprises continued. Instead of questioning me in some anteroom, the Secret Service Agent led me to stand right at the President’s Podium and questioned me Face to Face in view of the masses below and the 3 Networks broadcasting live. With my shoulder length hair, beard and wearing my trademark #13 jersey, it certainly was a Revolutionary Image standing at the President’s Podium in the Spirit of  ’76, and the Secret Service has Records of it!

Hear the word of the LORD, you rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, you people of Gomorrah.
To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? says the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I  have no delight in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.
When you come to appear before me, who has required this at your hand, to tread my courts?
Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination to me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.
Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hates: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.
And when you spread forth your hands, I will hide my eyes from you: yea, when you make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.
Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes; cease to do evil;
Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.
Come now, and let us reason together, says the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
If you be willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land:
But if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD has spoken it.
How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.
Your silver is become dross, your wine mixed with water:
Your princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loves gifts, and follows after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither does the cause of the widow come unto them.
Therefore says the Lord, the LORD of hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine enemies:
And I will turn my hand upon you, and purely purge away your dross, and take away all your tin:
