Genetic Engineering

God said to Celestial that there will be a rise in genetic engineering once the Beast comes to power in America, the Beast being Barack Obama (of all people, I’m not kidding and so is she). As I said before online that one could get the child they wanted in some way if they ask God for it, but it seems with genetic engineering some people don’t seem to trust God enough to want a child with their spouses together. Some way or another as I said before, but some trust humans more than God. It seems if people want a red-haired, blue eyed child rather than talking to God about it, they entrust this to scientists who will find the genes they want their child to have.

This is just an example and a hypothetical one at that, but it does make you wonder who do they trust more? If the Bible tells us to trust God more than humans, this is one reason why but not in a way we recognise it as. Even I myself struggled with this at some point. I feel at other times there are cases where we have to trust God more, especially if it’s about certain matters we’re deeply concerned about where no human can easily resolve matters. Even if a human can be used to resolve matters, the way God sees it and uses them for, it’s still wiser to trust in God when all else fails. If there are bad matters, confide in God to handle it.

If there are problems you wish to confront, then confide in God and he will handle things. Maybe not always in ways we like, but he can do it if we trust more in what he can do for us. Such is the folly of trusting humans to create the child people want, when it’s wiser to turn to God to handle those things.

At The Zoo

Celestial was given a prophecy by the Lord but one about America’s destruction and especially that of New York City, due to its sins that in the foreseeable future it will be nuked and make deserted. That wild animals and possibly feral pets will take over New York is a comeuppance for its sins, animals taking over deserted human habitations isn’t anything new. What happened in Chernobyl is that the place got contaminated by nuclear radiation, but where stray dogs came to populate it in the coming years. These dogs even have a mutation peculiar to them as to adapt to years of radiation, though something similar has also happened to their feline counterparts.

There is currently no study taken about them in any way, but it’s conceivable that their own descendants have adapted to years of nuclear radiation. I guess if New York City ever gets nuked in the future, not only will cats and dogs adapt to years of nuclear radiation, but also so will wildlife like bears and raccoons for instance. As raccoons are native to North America, supposing if America itself were to get nuked that years of nuclear radiation will affect raccoons. The first generation of raccoons would appear to be this badly affected, but over time their scions and descendants will adapt to years of nuclear radiation. They too will have a mutation that allows them to adapt to such a situation.

There have been programmes about what would happen if the Earth were to be denuded of humans, but it seems according to Biblical prophecy something similar will happen to a select few places. However they’re not what you think they are, because these are the same locations that will be judged harshly for their sins. If God could make any American city deserted and denuded of humans, he can and will do it if this place has too many unrepentant sinners which goes extra if it had Christians before. That America exports too much filth that nations enjoy is a sign that it has fallen from grace.

Celestial has said many times over that America is Mystery Babylon, and in here it’s Mystery Babylon for enabling the sin or vice of idolatry. As God is a jealous God, it would be hard to not make him jealous when we turn to something else. I personally think some charges about idolatry should be best applied to secular fandoms, which makes much more sense since I see fandom as concentrated idolatry. It’s not necessarily wrong to like something, for as long as it doesn’t overshadow your faith in and love for God. It’s not wrong to like cats, dogs, football, rugby, foreign countries and so on. Though the hardest part is not make them into idols.

I feel what America has done is to enable so much idolatry of almost everything and anything that it’s going to be punished by the Lord for doing this, despite proclaiming itself to be a Christian nation and it gets worse when you have otherwise self-proclaimed Christians like Brian Littrell enabling this in some way. It would be super horrifying if he and his bandmates have the audacity to dress up as demons in a concert in Mexico, one would only wonder who Brian Littrell is more loyal to. He may sing about praising God, but at times he doesn’t do as he should’ve been told to. Perhaps this is the natural outcome of him enabling idolatry of his band a lot.

There are other musicians who’ve done the same, but I think it would be more shameful if it was a Christian doing this. Gerard Way may not be a Christian, at least not yet, but for most of the part he doesn’t know any better. Brian Littrell should know better as he’s a Christian, he should know that idolatry is a sin and that pride is also a sin. But I don’t think it’s something he’ll be comfortable realising, if because he actually likes the attention his fans give to his band a lot.

Burk Parsons dodged a bullet by refusing to join the Backstreet Boys and became a pastor instead, he himself has his own demons from time to time. The only real difference is that he strives to do better by God, while he never became a famous musician he’s done better by actually introducing people to something spiritually substantial as a pastor. We may not be called to ministry but it’s best to introduce people to God, than to wallow in being worshipped as an idol ourselves no matter how tempting it is.

I admit being prone to time from time to time, though it’s something Littrell fell into and he got really deep into it. I said before that he never seems to make fans read the Bible and devotionals, never makes them listen to sermons in whatever medium they appear in and take them to church. He’d rather invite them over to Backstreet Boys sponsored cruises and concerts, than to actually take them to church to worship the Creator. Perhaps him turning to the Devil is an inevitable consequence of his own pride and enabling his fans’ idolatry of himself and the band, if because the Devil himself is very proud and resides in the world.

It’s easier to talk about Donald Trump, Taylor Swift and Beyonce enabling idolatry of themselves as they’re relevant to more people these days, but I think the Backstreet Boys deserve more mention if because what they’re doing is more shameful because they have a Christian member. That shows if you have somebody who should know better, but don’t do anything about it then it’s on them for turning themselves into a stumbling block for others. Christians shouldn’t cause others to sin, however hard it may be at times, it seems Brian Littrell took the path of least resistance. Perhaps the world is too strong for him to resist in any way, which proves my point about him.

It should also be noted that Disney and Warner Bros are pretty guilty of enabling idolatry in people, not just with the usual suspects but also something more unexpected like superheroes. Sort of like how Stan Lee co-opted the whole ‘true believers’ thing from Christians when he applied this label to diehard Marvel readers, though at some point he actually considered doing a line of Christian superhero comics and stories. That could work to some extent, especially with something like Power Mark. But I suspect a superhero who bothers to forgive their enemies, believes in God and is rarely ever violent in any way is a harder sell than a superhero who acts vindictively and gets into a fight because they can.

So it seems despite Lee’s good intentions, Marvel has more staying power than his proposed Christian superhero imprint. Easier to enable somebody’s idolatry and satiating it perpetually than to lead them to God, no matter how uncomfortable or preachy it would be and get. DC’s no different in some, though similar regards with one editor rejecting one writer’s proposal to turn one superheroine into a Christian, I personally feel Gail Simone is somebody who does respect and understand Christianity well despite being secular. She can be considered an ally, one who’s an ally to Christians which is increasingly rare in the realm of storytelling as time passes.

If Narnia is any indication, it’s possible to have a religious story and still have any renown outside of religious circles though Narnia’s biggest fans are always Christians. So DC and Marvel go for the easy way out by pandering to somebody’s idolatry, satiating them a lot and enabling them in ways where and when it shouldn’t be, than to make them actively seek out God in hard times like these and those. The path to least resistance is what they undertook, this is what they ended up with and why they do anything to reward people’s idolatry of their products. It’s not wrong to like DC and Marvel, or even Disney and Looney Tunes.

The real problem lies with turning them into idols, but this is something they ended up enabling a lot. Instead of stories where a character like Cassandra Cain does become a Christian and quit a life of violence for good, it’s easier to keep people hooked on their favourite characters a lot without making them read the Bible in some way or another. Perhaps telling them about sin is a particularly heavy pill to swallow, one that’s too bitter to be easily digested by many secular people.

While Christians shouldn’t preach to the choir that much, in fact they’re called to preach to many unbelievers and help them on their path to worshipping God. But then again they’re also pressured to not rock the boat, that’s to hammer the nail that stands out too much, to cut the tall poppy because it’s getting too preachy. Enabling somebody else’s idolatry is one example of the path of least resistance, spiritually speaking.

Disney pretty much developed a habit of enabling somebody’s idolatry for years, to the point of creating the Disney adult and from a business perspective, this is an excellent example of brand loyalty implanted since childhood. But from a spiritual perspective, with Walt Disney being bent on destroying anything Christian, that the well is poisoned even if it’s possible to love Disney products from afar. That’s by not turning Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse and Carl Barks into idols, but Disney would rather encourage people’s idolatry of its products and characters. It will do anything to enable it, no matter how spiritually unhealthy it is.

Disney is one of those companies that perfected the art of brand loyalty with a lot of people, that people will try out anything Disney-related because it encourages this a lot. Not just with Disney merchandise, divisions, brands and the like but also other things like Radio Disney, which is still a thing in many Latin American countries to this day oddly enough. Disney will find ways of keeping people interested in it in some fashion, which if done carelessly would enable somebody’s idolatry of Disney or a certain Disney product. Unfortunately, it would be that easy to swing into that direction, no wonder why it’s perilous for Christians.

It’s not necessarily wrong to like Disney products, the best a Christian can do is to love them from a distance. That’s by not making it into an idol, even if it’s not always easy sometimes. Anything else really, because God gets jealous real easily. But it’s much easier to lead somebody to sin, sometimes deliberately not just with porn and gluttony. But also idolatry especially when it comes to the very nature of every secular fandom around, it’s not wrong to like sports and it’s not necessarily wrong to love athletes for as long as you pray for their salvation then God will take care of the rest. It’s also not wrong to like comics, video games and film though not all of them edify somebody spiritually.

There are too many things that Americans make an idol out of, sometimes it’s the innocuous stuff like cats and dogs as well as sports and science. Sometimes it’s the more dubious stuff we should steer away from like certain celebrities and stories, especially if they don’t glorify God in any way. It’s not necessarily wrong to like cats and dogs, but the trick here is to not be too obsessive over them. So you have grounded dog owners who do see their dogs as mere animals, rather than substitute humans where they know this is where it gets worrying when they’re treated as proxies for people. The problem is Americans have glorified these things, worshipping the creature instead of the Creator.

No sooner or later we’ll get a series of Jezebel like situations where dogs turn against their owners by eating them, a comeuppance for what these people have done and arguably a case of God using the wicked to punish the wicked since dogs don’t seem to be esteemed that highly in the Bible. If he has done this to Jezebel before, then he will do it to women similar to her when he needs to. It’s not necessarily wrong to like dogs, the Bible does have some instances of dogs being used for good though depending on the Bible verse and also edition of the Bible. But this is tempered by a recurring suspicion, so the precipice of turning them into idols is something writers knew too well.

Known Babylon, as I’d like to call it, was a major hotbed of idolatry that would’ve easily tempted God’s people at any point. It made idols out of dogs, anything and everything which sounds like what a supposedly Christian country like America ended up doing, except that other people don’t recognise many secular fandoms for what they really are: concentrated idolatry where one would do anything to attend to fandom activities and meetings where one would do with churchgoing and worshipping God.

Things like comic books, fantasy novels and video games have been treated as a sort of religious text with fans co-opting religious terminology like canon. Canon as in it meant whatever that is officially part of the Bible, biblical canon would vary depending on the denomination where some editions of the Bible would officially include texts like the Book of Tobit and the Maccabees, others like the Book of Enoch and some just have them as apocrypha.

They have their place, but it’s not the main place. There are people who argue that Christianity is a fandom but whenever fandom tries to bring Christianity to its level, if God is like a king then fandom’s like a pretender to the throne. It claims pretensions to the king but has no official relation to him whatsoever, this is why God is referred to as a father, his church is like a bride and family, why nuns and monks are referred to as brothers and sisters. Fandom is really a commoner wanting to be recognised as part of a royal family, but it’s never noble and it’s never going to be royal if you get the pun. So it’s better to recognise fandom for what it is, that’s being concentrated idolatry.

It’s calling the spade for what it really is to the Lord, so we shouldn’t pussyfoot around its true nature. When you have people who spend a lot of their time not just watching Good Omens, but also making a lot of fanworks around it with virtually no time for the Lord then it is idolatrous. Many geek fandoms are practically idolatrous, though it takes a brave soul to call them out for what they actually are. It’s not necessarily wrong to love characters like Catwoman, Batman and Superman but one would have to draw the line at worshipping them like one would with the Lord, so this is something one would have to tread carefully as Christians.

God is jealous, so we shouldn’t make him jealous even though sometimes we do anyways. It’s not going to be easy, given human nature being sinful, but the best we can do is to ask for repentance from God and learn from our mistakes, however hard and shameful it may be.

The Fool On The Hill

Celestial is one of those people out there in the world who point out that America is Mystery Babylon, in fact many times over where she said that America isn’t ever going to repent so God will take out this nation once and for all. She said that America will be no more or at least become so unrecognisable to the modern mind as to be forgotten, which would go hand in hand with its influence being largely undone anywhere it went. But this is the most frightening part of the prophecy: America will not be remembered much to a lot of people, it will be utterly destroyed beyond recognition. America will be depopulated over time, increasingly home to ghost towns due to death and enslavement.

She said that Donald Trump will die and be taken away because too many Evangelicals treat him like an idol, trusting in him far more than they trust the Lord and that Joe Biden will also die. Except that Trump’s death will result in a massive uproar, that people will do anything for fight in his memory. That people will be ride or die as to be thugs for Trump, beating up his would-be political enemies and their supporters. America will become a rather joyless, empty place where nobody’s going to celebrate NASCAR and all the other niceties of American life because they will be taken away, especially if most of them aren’t good and/or treated like idols that once they’re gone, they’ll be gone for good.

It could be said that Americans have a well-earned reputation for stupidity, oftentimes accidentally and apparently so. Spiritually they are just as ignorant and foolish, repeatedly doing things that are bad or sinful and never learning from them in any way. If America is Mystery Babylon as what somebody like Dumitru Duduman said before, then it is far more corrupt than its people see it as. If the passage about Mystery Babylon as seated between many waters were taken literally, then John the Revelator could easily be describing North America. North America is west of the African continent, the land beyond the waters of Cush and Egypt.

It is a nation that speaks in a tongue that would have been alien to Old Testament writers at the time, since they would have been familiar with Akkadian which was a trade language in their day. It could said that whatever the Bible said about something in the past is applicable to today and in the future, then whatever it said about Babylon could also be applied to America real well. What was a metaphorical destruction for Babylon will be a literal destruction for America, that we could be in Babylon but not of it suggests that even if we are in a godless place we shouldn’t immerse ourselves too long in it, let we be corrupted ourselves.

I suppose if America’s destruction at the hands of its enemies were imminent, then there’s little we can do about it since it will get its just desserts for being hardened and foolish. A country with a well-deserved reputation for stupidity if there ever was one at all.

Foolish Little Girl

Some people like Celestial have been saying that America is Mystery Babylon, it is Mystery Babylon in a way no other institution and country come close. For a nation that was founded as a Christian colony and a refuge for many would-be Pilgrims from Anglicans, it took the wrong path to power and it will reap what it has sown onto itself and the whole world. If we are called to be in Babylon but not of Babylon, it bears saying that we shouldn’t partake in Babylon’s vices and excesses. The nation of Judah was made into a client state of Babylon but its people were told not to indulge in what Babylon’s been doing, similar things can be said of anybody else who aren’t American shouldn’t be indulging in the bad things America does.

I feel a lot of the things America exports aren’t good and this is likely one reason why God will make people forget this nation, he’s going to undo American influence especially if much of it’s bad. The good ones will stay for longer, the bad ones will be gone for good but the problem is much of what America exports is the latter. This includes sexually explicit material, profane media and so on and so forth, therefore we shouldn’t indulge in these products for long. Therefore we ought to be more selective with what we read, listen, watch and peruse in some way, whatever that is good, then think about those things and the like. If America is Mystery Babylon in a way neither the Catholic Church nor the Arab world come close, perhaps it is really up to no good.

I feel a good number of American institutions enable many sins, including idolatry though the culprits behind these crimes aren’t what you expect them to be. I think something like Warner Bros’ DC Entertainment, Disney’s Marvel and Disney itself are guilty of this, though I don’t think not many Christians will admit or realise even if it’s just as bad as what Catholics do. I guess it’s got to do with how innocent many DC and Marvel superheroes appear to be, or for another matter the Backstreet Boys but this makes the latter all the more shameful because one of their members is a Christian.

But he himself enables idolatry a lot and why he doesn’t seem to take his fans to church, make them listen to sermons and read the Bible and devotionals. He’d rather invite them over to Backstreet Boys sponsored cruises than to lead them to the Lord, but that involves giving credit where it’s due and it’s offending the Creator in a way no other Christian denomination would do. Perhaps this is why Burk Parsons dodged a bullet and another reason why America is Mystery Babylon, if because its celebrities and institutions encourage this form of idolatry a lot that God will really get rid of America because of this.

Should we indulge in the sins of Babylon, no matter how appealing or innocent they are? If the Devil can turn himself into an angel of light, he could make himself inconspicuous by taking advantage of people’s weak spots as he did to me before. It needn’t to be occult or outward signs of idolatry and the cases where he has been the most deceptive are with things we don’t expect to be evil, be it superheroes, boy bands (especially those with Christian members) or whatever seems inoffensive enough to a lot of Christians as to practically fly under the radar. In fact, I feel the Devil likes it this way since he’s smart enough to find ways of going undetected.

To go on with the musical references, if America is the Foolish Little Girl then the Devil’s the Great Pretender. If the Devil’s who presides in the spirit of Babylon, then he overrules American culture in ways that shape its ability to corrupt everything and everybody else. America has the spirit of Babylon in it and this explains not only its spiritual downfall, but also its potential political, economic and cultural downfall as well. God got rid of both Sodom and Gomorrah and eventually Atlantis for their many sins, he will surely get rid of America for this when he has to and will do.

Not a lot of Christians realise that America is Mystery Babylon but that would mean it’s really morally and spiritually corrupt, far worse than even China and Russia because they generally don’t know any better. Many of its institutions and celebrities indulge in and enable these sins to persist and proliferate, in ways when they shouldn’t be doing if they themselves are Christian. Not just Brian Littrell but also any other Christian celebrity who risk doing and enabling these things, if they themselves aren’t careful about this. America is not the hero it makes itself out to be, it is utterly corrupt and irredeemable.

No amount of praying will make America turn back to God, when it has repeatedly betrayed him that it will reap what it sows. It will be gone, forgotten to time. America will fall down from grace as a superpower this year, it will face famine in ways we don’t expect nor anticipate. Somebody has been pointing this out in their blog, that a war between Heaven and Hell will happen in the future is something to be alert to. If America has exported so much filth that its end as a superpower will stop this for good.

Losing My Religion

Another one of Celestial’s prophecies about the rise of Islam in America, I personally believe one of the real reasons why Islam might rise exponentially in America is due to its outcast or underdog reputation it has at present. There are people who find Christianity hegemonic, especially in the west so converting to Islam is one way of sticking to the man. Then we get to a growing influx of Middle Eastern and North African immigrants in the US, who will not leave the place and demand using America’s natural resources a lot. Especially if their countries’ natural resources get depleted, so they’ll end up using America’s own instead.

I believe this will really happen when America seriously stops being a superpower, thus making it ripe for the taking. She also brought up how America will be eventually depleted of people, since not only will many of them die but also the survivors will be enslaved and shipped elsewhere. I remember her saying that people will pick slaves based on their physical characteristics, where the more robust will be used for construction and the weaker will do housework. Then they will pick slaves if they either have blond or red hair, because these hair colours are so striking and interesting as to attract a lot of unwanted attention. That she had a vision of a little girl being enslaved is pretty horrifying to behold.

She said that America will really undergo a serious civil war, which will really happen this year and one that will tank the US economy alongside many US banks going into administration. It’s going to be really shocking that for a nation that prides in its Christian heritage, it will house a Muslim-majority population consisting of both migrants and converts. The number of converts to Islam will grow exponentially in the future, I believe mostly due to Islam’s underdog reputation. I think is something not a lot of people have brought up with why some people are converting to Islam is really a matter of perception and reputation among people.

Growing numbers of Americans are less likely to be Christians, most shocking among women due to continued sexism in the pews. There’s a British study pointing out that a growing but large number of converts to Islam are women, it’s not just that Islam has this underdog reputation in the west but also because they want to be reprieved from sexualisation and immodesty. This would also be true for their American counterparts, additionally a good number of African Americans convert to Islam as a way to dewesternise or decolonise themselves. To their credit, a good portion of Sub-Saharan Africa used to be Muslim-majority.

A good number of African countries still have substantial Muslim populations, especially Nigeria where it has a large Muslim population in the North, the South is more Christian-majority. Because Islam is not the majority religion in America at present that it’s this easy for it to cultivate an outcast reputation among other people, especially if they’re really sympathetic to it in some way. As for Christianity, it’s got to do with bad impressions and bad experiences that they leave it for many reasons. Sexual harassment, hypocrisy, racism, anti-intellectualism and so on. They feel alienated within Christianity for many reasons, so Islam seems more inclusive and welcoming this way.

Christianity could do many of the things Islam does, perhaps better but I feel the problem is when it comes to modesty, there’s not a proper Christian consensus on what is modest and what isn’t. It depends on the church or denomination, but a consistent standard is harder to come up with. The fact that Islam has a proper dress code makes it easy to come up with modest fashions that are still stylish and nice-looking, whereas the evangelical Christian equivalent is nearly nonexistent and the Mennonite equivalent’s hideous. So Islam has this dress code that provides a nice middle ground between being religiously adherent and also looking presentable to people.

What’s not to like? While Islam does have its pros, as well as its cons but the odd fact that Islam will become the dominant religion in America strikes me as a comeuppance for America’s pride and idolatry that no sooner or later Christianity will really decline there and it will decline real badly from then on.

I’m A Loser

Celestial said that America will experience an immense downfall, very much a consequence of sinning too much despite being called to repent multiple times. It is the best candidate for the much fabled Mystery Babylon in a way no other institution and/or geopolitical entity would do, despite coming close at various points and even then they’re nowhere this terrible. What is Mystery Babylon? Mystery Babylon is the prophesised nation-state that corrupts the entire world, it sits between many waters where merchants used to buy its merchandise and stuff. It’s the entity that gets destroyed by the seven-headed monster, that if you believe her the seven-headed monster actually represents the new geopolitical zones that will emerge in the future.

That’s if America is Mystery Babylon, the nation-state that will get destroyed real badly. When taken literally it makes perfect sense this way, America sits between both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. It exports a lot of its goods and merchandise elsewhere, including more intangible media such as news websites and porn websites as such examples. Just as Babylon was described as the queen of nations, so is America described as the first hyperpower and possibly the only hyperpower to date, as for a while in recent memory it had no other rivals. This was especially true throughout the 1990s up to the 2010s, though this is changing with China and Russia shaping up this time.

The very nations that will destroy and conquer the United States in the near future, practically God’s tools to punish Uncle Sam with for sinning too much and never repenting in any way. He will get his remnant and they will be safe elsewhere, whether if they live in Canada, Mexico or Ghana where they will restart their ministries there and begin revivals as well. As for the Philippines’ continued sympathies for the United States, it would be far wiser to simply be in Babylon but not of Babylon. The things Babylon and Mystery Babylon do are against what God wants us to do, it wouldn’t be easy doing things right when we mess up as this is a fallen world.

But it does make sense to not follow Mystery Babylon’s footsteps and dark path to destruction, if because they don’t help the Philippines that much spiritually. We’re better off not following those, lest we too get destroyed by our own allegiance to America. This will sound really homophobic and transphobic here, but I believe the Philippines would be better off following China and Nigeria more. Even if these two have their own faults, even if they’re not largely Christian the way the Philippines is yet they will get off better and more easily than what America will be getting. That and China has a growing Christian population. That’s something the Philippines should attend to more, the better to nourish China’s appetite for God.

Better than nourishing America’s appetite for the Devil and the world, Dumitru Duduman was given a revelation by an angel who said to him that America is Mystery Babylon because while it was founded as a Christian colony, it was far too lenient on those who brought along contrary practises and one of these is astrology. A form of astrology took root in the American South (of all places), where it became Appalachian astrology. Celestial said that God will find ways of removing America and/or undoing its influence on other nations, that it will be forgotten to time is one of his ways of undoing its influence elsewhere.

I even prayed to God to cope with the Philippines becoming more heavily influenced by China when America’s no longer a superpower, so if he were to really do this then he will really do it and that’s when more Filipinos start celebrating Chinese holidays in earnest. No more Halloween, we’ll be getting Hungry Ghost Festival instead. Not just that but we’ll also celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival instead every October and September, instead of Halloween as many Christians know it celebrates the Devil. If Halloween’s said to celebrate the Devil, not helped by that people dress up as him, then God will really replace this with something else in Philippine culture.

Filipinos will no longer celebrate Halloween this year, the same year where America stops being a superpower, where it will be replaced by Mid-Autumn Festival instead as the ber months arrive. If Filipinos were to get their annual spooky fix, they’ll get it from celebrating the Hungry Ghost Festival instead. If whatever Mystery Babylon exports isn’t spiritually good for the Philippines in the long run, especially as we started falling away from God due to American influence, then it’s about time we stop following and emulating America and start following and emulating China instead.

If America were to experience an immense fall from grace in the eyes of many, it would have to begin with a civil war which’s actually coming soon this year. It would begin as a fight between Democrat and Republican voters, before becoming more and more violent as each week, month and year pass. If Donald Trump ever gets shot this year, then it will really get worse each time. Families will tear each other apart over politics that parent and child will kill each other for it, bands will disband over politics and so on. America will no longer be the land of the free, but land of the enslaved.

Its enemies and former allies will rise against it, taking its people captive and enslaving them. Many surviving Americans, especially those that never left the United States for other countries, will become prisoners of war when this nation gets defeated by its enemies. Russia, China and their allies will defeat and brutalise this nation, so much so that America will never recover. It’s never going back to glory, nobody in the future will remember what it was before. If because many of the things it did are awful in the eyes of God, even if it tries to be a godly and pious nation it really isn’t.

When it comes to not following Mystery Babylon’s footsteps, it would be far better to follow it much to begin with. Than to get dragged into its mess, because that would mean it’s up to no good.

Mack The Knife

Admittedly this seems a little ableist of her to say this but Celestial prophesised a new pandemic where more and more people will not just become demonically possessed, but also kill many more people this way and she said it’s on them for watching anything demonic. Not just anything with mythical creatures but also murder, porn and what else is abhorrent to the Lord, that it’s going to influence them in ways they never expect to nor consciously anticipate. It’s the whole ‘the devil made me do it’ meme or phrase taken to a logical conclusion where demons take advantage of any medium people are vulnerable to or enjoy, making them do things they shouldn’t be doing.

It’s something anybody who’re going to write a story or do video games ought to be more careful with, that’s if they don’t want others stumbling into sin that should something making them stumble ever happen they don’t just have to deal with the consequences but also find new ways to not make them stumble ever again. Or maybe this accident would have them turn to God, especially if they’re not saved that they have to make new games that honour the Lord as a way to make up for lost time. It wouldn’t be a popular move with fans, especially if they want more porn and gore. But it’s better to be sanctified by the Lord and worship him, than to wallow in sin a lot.

How astral projection is a ruse that kills people, that demons will make people seemingly astral project as a way to drag them to hell. I’ve done something evil before and suffered the consequences of my actions, I think there will be more people in the future whom I’ve prayed for will admit something similar about giving into demons and the Devil. How it seems fun and innocent until it hurts their souls, that’s why they’re in a rut they dug themselves in. God can restore someone’s lost years and belongings in a way, not always in a way people like, but enough to make it up for something if they turn to him and ask for it.

I’ve done this before, I think it’s something worth turning to. It wouldn’t entirely undo things, let alone in a way we want it to be. But her prophecy illustrates the dangers of giving into the world and demons, it’s not a good idea to do so lest we face consequences (as it did for me before). How demonic possession sometimes works in ways we don’t expect it to, something like demons taking advantage of something as innocuous as video games for instance. That’s been pointed out in the other blog Spirit Reports before, it would be damning if something like Disneyland’s also swarming with demons.

Anybody who wants to go there is either possessed by demons or tempted by them, especially if something like Disneyland was built on really shaky ground. It’s better to not give into the world, especially if it’s not good for you in the long run. Cartoonists and ordinary civilians alike will admit being lured into the world by demons, the very same demons that make them sin a lot. Sometimes they even take on forms people don’t expect them to, something like how demons can make themselves into superheroes. There’s a demon that inspired the character of Batman, I’m not making this up.

If because God revealed this to somebody else, so there are other things we need to be wary of. If because demons can make themselves appear so innocent, finding ways to take advantage of our weak spots. Your cousin’s weak spot might involve lust and how reading demonic or violent romances take advantage of this, something she will admit and regret in some way. So we ought to be more careful with what we take in, if because it’s not good for us. So we need to be cautious with what we peruse, lest we be led into sin and beget more sin if we don’t stop.

Hey Bird Dog, Get Away From My Quail

According to Celestial regarding one of her dreams, dogs to God represent fallenness, rejection and reproach. Essentially almost whatever that is forbidden and abhorred by the Lord, not helped by that literal dogs are now regarded as the third worst invasive species after cats and rats. This is what I got from listening to a sermon on YouTube about the topic of ‘beware of dogs’ and this was got brought up in some way, in which whatever the Bible says about something turn out to be true. Well in some way or another in this case, though that doesn’t mean positive portrayals of dogs don’t exist in the Bible.

It is however rare and often in the context of either shepherding (Job), comeuppance (what Jezebel got), helping those in need (what Jesus said regarding poor people going to Heaven) and also in the apocryphal Book of Tobit. This also gets played out within the wider scope of Christianity, there are uses for dogs in Christian monasteries. Among those are guarding, hunting vermin (as it is in Arizona, USA) and helping the blind. There are some Christian saints associated with dogs, though it’s possible the thing with Jezebel is a matter of God using the wicked to punish the wicked. Dogs are one of those in this regard.

Then there is the association with dogs with witchcraft, as it is with some folk demonologies whether in early modern France or contemporary Ghana. It doesn’t help when there’s a Bible verse that mentions dogs together with witches (though this is helped by a sermon that I listened to before), that it seems dogs will usually be portrayed in a suspicious manner throughout the Bible and to some extent, Christianity as a whole given they’re seen as unclean in the Eastern Orthodox Church.

We Suffer Together

St Julian of Norwich had a vision of God when she was sick, which lasted for days, so it’s likely this is what drew her closer to him in such a time. It’s likely God sometimes uses trials and tribulations to have us draw closer to him, sometimes we ask for it like I did one time but that’s because I wasn’t feeling right from losing so many dogs at the time. When we feel awful, God is there to come to us. When we’ve done wrong and feel like we need God at this point, then it’s a sign of wanting repentance and also the need to have faith when one feels at their lowest.

Sometimes when I regret what I’ve done before, such as wishing for the death of an animal, I often come to God to give me an animal a lot like it. Same with abusing an animal before, that God understands the pain that comes with regret. When you suffer for the Lord, he suffers with you too. He understands how you feel, what you want and need and so on. He may not always answer immediately, or in the way you want it to be. But he does intercede, sometimes giving us something greater or more than what we asked for. It could be having more dogs than one had, more surviving and healthier dogs at that.

It could be having a nicer cat to play with and so on, I actually prayed to God to give us a dog a lot like the one we recently lost but we got another cat instead. St Julian knew these kinds of pains and tribulations she underwent is what drew her closer to God, going to so far to write about these experiences and what she wants others to know about the journey she’s been through. Same with Henri Nouwen, the more I think about it, the more it’s true he wanted to share his experiences and revelations to others. So it’s a good thing Julian wrote a lot to share it to others.

These serve as both revelations and devotionals of sorts.
