Drowning

It’s been prophesised by at least two people, Celestial and John W Johnston, that a huge chunk of Florida will fall into the ocean by both flooding and earthquakes. I feel why would Florida fall into the ocean is pretty much for the same reasons that will befall California, the only real difference is that California tends to be more out in the open about its sins. Florida will be judged for living a double life, having Christians who constantly do sinful things and never repent. The judgement’s on the Backstreet Boys and especially Brian Littrell for not bringing fans to God, which is something he never really did despite being a Christian himself.

Instead he stokes fans’ idolatry of him and his band, so much so that some make porn about it. It would take a series of scandals and misdeeds to reveal what’s wrong with it, starting with one member being involved in adultery and another for trafficking. Then they all head to Mexico dressed up as demons for their song ‘Everybody’, which would result in a publicly shown and filmed orgy. This is the full extent of the Backstreet Boys’ habit of enabling fans’ idolatry, which is made more heinous by that Brian is a Christian and he should know better. At any point where he could’ve turned concerts into church gatherings, he never seems to encourage fans to know and read the word of God in whatever form.

So he and his band members will be judged for encouraging idolatry, especially idolatry of themselves when he should’ve directed his fans to God. Let’s not also forget that Walt Disney actually made a deal with the Devil to corrupt people, where Analia Campbell warned about people taking their children to Disney theme parks because they have demons in them. As amusing and likable as the theme parks are, when you have things like Disney characters dressing up as demons and witches that it’s another reason why Florida will be judged by God. Perhaps it would’ve been better if Walt Disney World had been left as an orchard, all the more to not corrupt people with.

So God will take away people’s idols and have the Backstreet Boys drown for good, never to be seen again though admittedly I don’t know if this would happen anytime soon. It could within my lifetime and this decade, sometime before or during the new Civil War. Perhaps we might as well say farewell to those who aren’t good influences to us, all the better to lead holy lives as possible despite messing up every now and then.

Horrible

When I was trying to sleep, I received a vision from the Lord that somebody in the Backstreet Boys will be called out for summoning demons. I actually prayed to God to have Brian Littrell quit the Backstreet Boys, as I have said before despite being a Christian he never did anything to introduce fans to God. At any point where he could have especially in concerts, the Backstreet Boys pretty much encourages and enables their fans’ idolatry of them through not just concerts but also cruises. I don’t think any Christian church really does that, usually the only thing that’s expensive is the missionary trip.

While it’s good to have loyal fans around, it’s not good if said band encourages and enables fan idolatry. So it’s best that Littrell has to quit the Backstreet Boys, especially when they start doing occult stuff in concert. Watch out if one of them gets so possessed by a demon that he beings to dress up as one in concert, it would be super disturbing if an orgy happens in a Backstreet Boys concert. That will really make the news, though not in a good way since you’d have people suspecting how demonic this is.

I do think Littrell does his best to be a good Christian, but at other times he gets too carried away with how his band encourages idolatry. It does disturb me that one of them will be so possessed by demons as to do something uncanny in a concert, so much so that once they sing Backstreet’s Back they’ll dress up as demons and flash the Satanic pentagram in concert. That’s really going to happen if they’re going to Mexico, where they’ll get all their fans there and it will end badly.

Not to mention, this tendency to reward fans’ devotion to them is a wasted opportunity since Littrell could’ve used it to preach the word of God to them. But that would mean he’s very loyal to the world and flesh in a way he shouldn’t be doing, if because it’s not helping him when walking with God at all. It would be proof that you can’t serve God and Mammon, which would have damning ramifications for Littrell and why he really has to quit the band ahead of time when evil rituals start happening in a Backstreet Boys concert.

Idol

When it comes to celebrities and Christians, it’s kind of easy to go after the more obvious targets. But as I said before, the Devil is so smart that he’ll find ways of evading detection by those who should know better. The Backstreet Boys tend to encourage this idolatrous devotion by their own fans, to the point where it warrants more criticism. If because they themselves enable it in some way, not just with cruises and fanclubs but that one of them is a Christian and he should know better.

Ladies and gentlemen, I’m talking about Brian Littrell. Littrell is a Christian, well supposed to be one but for some reason he barely if ever encourages the fans to go to church, read devotionals and the Bible and stuff, at least to my knowledge. I guess if he did this, he will get a lot of flack from them and his own colleagues, one of them will be caught in a cheating scandal in the future. That would mean he has to be responsible for their spiritual wellbeing, this is probably why some BSB fans make a habit out of writing pornographic stories about them.

One of them is a Christian or was one herself, but the more she wrote porny stories about the Backstreet Boys the less Christian she got and became a single mother along the way. I feel BSB encourages idolatry in some form or another, given you don’t see them sending their fans to church. It could be argued that their version involves making fans attend concerts, cruises and stuff but they do little about their spiritual health and wellbeing. To the point where the band is stuck with fans who sexualise them a lot, if because they encourage this to an extent.

No wonder why you don’t see Brian Littrell making fans attend church with his bandmates or handing out tracts to them, you might say he’s not forcing his religion onto others but honestly that’s preferable to making them attend their every cruise and concert. That’s why BSB’s guilty of idolatry because they actively encourage this, to the point where one Christian fan turned away from the Lord the more she wrote BSB porn. At the heart of Christianity is faith, at the heart of fandom is idolatry or at least the potential for it.

But that would mean it’s a precipice, a tool the Devil will use to turn people away from the Lord. Brian Littrell may not be a Satanist, but he should put an end to this as a Christian. If they don’t put an end to this, they will face more scandals in the future. Let this be a warning to those who ‘reward’ their fans’ devotion to them, rather than to the Lord God himself. While it’s possible to turn any other band or team into an idol, but with BSB they actively enable and reward idolatry.

This is not good for Littrell because what could’ve been an opportunity to lead fans to God gets wasted on idolatry based on the band itself, no wonder they’re facing so many scandals and why this should stop.

False God

As I said before about CS Lewis, it’s one thing to defend what Christianity stands for. But it’s another to actually believe in God’s goodness, something people have struggled with before. In CS Lewis’s case, because he was so interested in paganism that his interest in pagan gods frequently got the better of him. No wonder why he struggled to believe in God for as long as he became a Christian, paganism got a stronghold on him.

Notice how other Christian writers like David Wilkerson and Mary K Baxter never seem to be interested in pagan mythology that much, to the point where you can get an idea of how CS Lewis constantly struggled to believe in God’s goodness and why he’s so prone to idolatry. Not that Wilkerson and Baxter never committed idolatry, though nowhere as frequently as he did. Same with unbelief and why Lewis could be so disloyal to God at times.

My point about being interested in pagan gods is that they are precipices, the fact that they’re intended to be idols is a dangerous road to get to. Lewis was especially interested in mythology, but sometimes too much for his own good that’s why he struggled to believe in God. If Lewis isn’t always such a great Christian writer, he can be taken as a warning to any Christian who gets interested in anything pagan.

It is perhaps telling that by the time his wife died, he stopped writing about pagan mythology in any way. This is God’s way of telling him that he had gone astray from him due to his interest in such topics, not to mention there was a time when I really got into Journey to the West (a story involving pagan gods) that happened when I was backsliding. Even as I got into mythology and Taoism again, it tends to be rather fleeing the more I devote myself to God.

When you’re dealing with characters intended to be worshipped as gods, any strong interest in them leads to the risk of idolatry in any way. It’s for the best that writers like Julian of Norwich, David Wilkerson and Mary K Baxter never show much interest in pagan mythology, otherwise they would’ve doubted God as much as CS Lewis had. Any interest in a pagan god will always be a precipice, no matter how hard you try to not make it be.

Fear of witchcraft

As I realised in life, admittedly this could be a false consensus bias going on in here, but when it comes to non-Christian mythology it’s easier for Christians (and Christianity) to co-opt, assimilate and cherry-pick certain aspects because they don’t compete for a love of God the way a strongly sincere interest in any pagan god would. Especially when it comes to lower mythological creatures and witchcraft in relation to what the Bible despises and fears, both fairies (for Europeans) and mermaids (for Africans) have been construed as demonic because they oppose God in everywhere.

Like say how some countries and cultures, be it present day Cameroon or early modern Scotland, viewed dogs as demonic but since the Bible doesn’t always have the highest opinion of dogs eithers so it’s a belief that can easily be meshed with Christianity in a way a sincerely strong interest in a pagan god wouldn’t. If because the latter would easily crossover to idolatry, which the Bible abhors and forbids. Perhaps this is why CS Lewis, with his strong interest in mythology, could have crossed the line easily and likely why some Christians distrust him.

When it comes to being strongly interested in any one of the pagan gods, it’s the big thing about polytheistic mythology that’ll never be smoothly assimilated into and widely accepted by Christians and Christianity. It could easily cross over to idolatry, perhaps sometimes mistakenly so. CS Lewis may’ve easily done this a couple of times over, so it’s not a stretch to think he committed idolatry before even as a Christian. This proves my point that a very strong interest in any pagan god could open up the potential for idolatry in a way a fear of witchcraft wouldn’t.

Though this involves realising how fallible Lewis actually was in person, given his penchant for mythology he would be really susceptible to it and may’ve struggled with it all throughout his life. This is likely why he doesn’t always have a strong relationship with God, especially with mythological gods on his mind that would’ve inevitably got the better of him from time to time. It’s still telling that throughout time and place, fears of witchcraft and evil beings are among the things that gets readily accepted by Christians.

It’s easy to incorporate into Christianity, if because Christianity already has these sentiments that it’s way easier to pull off than say being really interested in Zeus for instance. To paraphrase somebody else, he can only be called Thomas. No wonder CS Lewis sometimes doubted God and the Bible a lot, if it weren’t for his interest in mythological gods. There are things in mythology that Christianity readily accepts, and there are things in mythology that Christianity doesn’t.

It’s easier to integrate pre-existing witchcraft beliefs into Christianity than say a profound interest in Athena ever would, though it’s something that I realised ever since I came back to Christ that my interest in mythological gods is rather fleeting at this time. An epiphany like this is what led me to this conclusion and why some parts of mythology will never be seamlessly integrated into the faith the way a shared fear of witchcraft and evil would.

Master and Servant

Celestial had this prophecy about America having a new government where private ownership’s no longer a big thing there, while I do think economic declines and recessions aren’t anything new but America coming under an entirely different government is something else. Admittedly my knowledge of American history isn’t my strong point, but it has alternated between Republican and Democratic powers depending on the president. This government is something else altogether, if because it could turn out to be rather totalitarian.

America is best known as the land of the free, so much so it has made an idol out of freedom. If sin leads to bondage, then America has made itself a slave to its baser tendencies. The fact that America doesn’t seem to repent or find a way to stop sinning makes itself especially vulnerable to bondage on a grander scale, not just spiritual bondage but also political bondage when it comes to it being invaded by Russia one day in the future. America would find itself in bondage if bound to totalitarianism, life in that country will never be the same again.

While I do think Canada and Mexico aren’t any better in some regards, the fact that America is home to a substantial porn industry in the same place as Hollywood is makes it a very corrupting influence. Especially when compounded by the fact that America is currently the world’s biggest economy, so its ability to corrupt the world is multiplied. Even if I do know that Australia and England aren’t any better either, they never came anywhere close to the same scale of corrupting the entire world as America does.

America will fall so bad that it will shock the entire world, Americans will do anything to flee the nation to avoid living under an oppressive government. They will look to Canada and Mexico for safety and also to live out the life America had, not that Canada will become a world power as both Canada and Britain will come under Russian occupation or at least become Russian satellites. America will become a Russian penal colony, the place where they dump criminals there.

So America will become Russia’s Australia, since Australia was founded as a penal colony. But beforehand, America will become very oppressive to Christians especially when it comes to certain political groups ostracising them for their beliefs. The culture war in America will become an actual civil war should Donald Trump get killed and Kamala Harris become the new American president, to the point where violence will erupt between liberals and conservatives.

Not only that but some of the biggest oppressors of Christians in Harris’s regime would be women, especially those who think Christianity is sexist or something like that. They will be so cruel that it even shocks other feminists. America will become what China is currently like, it will actively hunt down Christians and find ways to shut down Christianity. But in reverse because it’s only now that China has a substantial, growing Christian population.

If God can use anything, he can even use secular sources to prove that China is on its way to becoming a Christian majority country. As America has forsaken God, God will bless Russia and China instead. The very same countries he’ll use to punish America with, which will happen anytime soon and arguably a good reason to switch allegiances to. I think this should serve to warn any of America’s allies, especially since America is the nation that will be punished the most.

Celestial even said that America will get removed from the table of nations in Heaven, even if America isn’t entirely forgotten it will decline a lot in influence. Even at this point, America’s influence is starting to slip. China’s Tiktok has taken the world by storm, same with Japan’s Pixiv to a lesser extent. Livejournal is now owned by a Russian company, perhaps an omen of things to come if America were to come under Russian occupation.

While I do think American corporations will still exist, if Russia does take over America then they’ll become Russian companies by association. If America does fall into a totalitarian regime, then its love for freedom will be gone.

She’s A Black Magic Woman

When it comes to Beyonce being a witch, if this is to be believed (per people like Celestial) then she certainly has bewitched many people. To the people where they prioritise her a lot where they spiritually shouldn’t, something like a church mass dedicated to her of all things. Even if you excise the church mass aspect of her fandom, there’s a name for this sentiment and it’s celebrity worship syndrome. But a spade remains a spade, no matter what it’s called.

There are actually a lot of popular musicians who are into the occult and witchcraft in some form or another, David Bowie for instance was really into the occult when he was with us. If he did make a deal with the devil, then this explains both his meteoric rise to fame in the early 1970s and his misdemeanour like raping a teenage girl. Likewise for Beyonce, she might’ve killed an animal as to sacrifice it to the devil. Regardless if her heart’s in the right place, her intentions aren’t always good.

There’s a testimony online stating that Beyonce’s soul is in hell, that she’s possessed by a demon or something like that. Celestial even had a prophecy where she will really bewitch people in a concert, it will be filmed live and people will not know that she cast a spell on them. She might’ve been doing this for years, perhaps far longer than one realises. If Beyonce and her husband are Satanists, perhaps they really are up to no good. No matter how appealing they are to the public, if they bewitch people they should be avoided.

But it’s easier to be caught up in the hype surrounding them, than it is to avoid them especially if they’re everywhere in some form or another. At any point where Beyonce could’ve repented and turned to God, she continues to curse him and his followers so she’ll go to hell anyways.

Evangelical Resentments

From my experience, it’s terribly not uncommon to see Evangelicals and Pentecostals rag on Catholics a lot, so much so that it’s their way of showing what they’re doing is superior, even though God says it’s still boasting to see yourself as better than others even sinners like them. They keep on ragging on Catholics for ‘worshipping’ Mary, even though some have made idols out of the unemployed housewife. Instead of doing away Marianismo, they recreated it in the form of complimentarianism.

Odder still is that for all their Biblical literalism, they seldom hold dogs and dog owners in the same regard they have for Catholics even if the Bible doesn’t have that high opinion of dogs either. The only Evangelicals who do so a lot tend to be Pentecostals from select countries like Cameroon, Ghana and Democratic Republic of Congo, where they associate them with witchcraft which makes them more biblically consistent since there’s a verse that mentions both dogs and sorcerers together.

I even have a nagging feeling why you don’t commonly see Evangelicals rag on dog owners that much is because Catholics constitute a very easy target for their resentment, even though dog owners should also be one of their targets especially when their love for dogs crosses over to idolatry. Maybe some of them do, but not enough to drown the rampant anti-Catholicism. Selective outrage much, to the point where it feels like hypocrisy despite their Biblical literalism.

Even stranger is that they should be good friends with Muslims, since they also don’t like the use of graven images in worship. But they also resent them a lot, not just that they worship a false god but they also remind them too much of themselves. Down to the fanatical obsession with women not showing skin or revealing clothes in any way, whereas this is relegated to a minority in Judaism. (Maybe that’s why Jews are wary of Evangelicals.)

Oddly enough, I feel geek culture might be a far better target for their resentment of idolatry. I have this feeling before, especially whenever geeks love the things they like without putting God first. Well most of them do, not that they’re autistic but that what they’re doing is idolatry refined into an art form or a science. Fan art can constitute a graven image far better than Catholic art of Jesus, since the latter at least honours God.

Everything they say about Catholics fits geek culture far better, especially since I had this revelation in life that the closer I get to God, the less I am involved in geek fandoms. Which’s a side effect of being this devoted to God, you can’t have any idols competing with God and this includes geek fandom idols. I feel if they did target fandom a lot the way they do with Catholicism, not just those suspected of witchcraft but anybody who gets in the way of God it would result in great controversy.

Like if they start targeting geek culture for idolatry, they’d have a better target for their resentment but one that would be far more controversial if they did this at all. I guess it really is selective outrage all the way, even though some prove better targets for their rage and anger than others.

The Fading Light

Thomas Kinkade was a man who’s considered to be the Painter of Light, if because he often depicted glowing windows and well-lit areas coupled with pastel colours and a gentle air to it. He won many fans outside of the fine arts tastemakers, in fact he rejected fine arts snobbery a lot. There was a time in his life where he was a good Christian, he believed in God and God did bless him early on in his career. But somewhere his life took a different turn when he started prioritising on his fame and popularity, especially when he and his colleagues began selling so many prints of his paintings that this came to encompass any other kind of merchandising.

In all honesty, I’m not entirely against selling stuff for a living which’s something that I did nearly three years ago. Selling stuff isn’t bad in and of itself for as long as you don’t make it into an idol of sorts, as with anything else in general. The problem is that Kinkade and his associates made a mistake by making an idol out of the sales the art prints generated, which could’ve led to his eventually moral and spiritual downfall. He was like a modern Solomon in that God blessed Solomon with wisdom but he too became drunk with power, coupled with the debate whether if he authored Ecclesiastes or not.

He could have, who knows (maybe Kenzo Atsushi did). The other problem’s that Kinkade didn’t repent of his sins, nor did he sincerely turn back to God. This is probably why he developed a serious drinking problem, on top of him harassing women, scamming people and urinating wherever he went. He did stop urinating a lot at some point, though his drinking problems continued unabated as did his growing affair with another woman. I’m afraid Kinkade’s in a worse place now, a darkness that he can’t escape whether mentally or spiritually.

I personally think there are illustrators and cartoonists who’ve escaped this trap by trusting God more than anything else, though I feel I could say the same things about businesspeople and seamstresses in this regard. Kinkade did genuinely believe in God at some point, but the more he prioritised his popularity and sales of his paintings the more he withdrew from God to the point of no return.

Feet of clay

Recently the musician Nick Carter has been accused of rape by a woman, that if her accounts are to be believed, contrary to what some fans say some of the Backstreet Boys are probably more misogynistic than they realise if we believe anecdotes about Nick Carter being a jerk to some female fans were true. Consider these from YouTube:

However, I don’t think that the fact that he was able to get any girl he wanted is an excuse or discredits the allegations. Rape or abuse is more about having power over the victim and maybe he found that in this specific situation. And, even if the girl made the decision to go to his bus, that doesn’t mean SA didn’t happen.

I am a fan but I’m not the type of obsessed fan who has the need to know every single thing going on around him all the time. However, I did read several fan experiences in which they said Nick was pretty much an a**hole to them or said disgusting things about their physical appearance during BSB events. Besides, he had a long history with addiction and it was during the year this happened. So, yeah, I’m a fan but I know that it’s not far-fetched to think something like this might have taken place

I’ve heard of them and one of the stories I’ve read was from one of those cruises. It was about him body-shaming this fan because of her weight and he was drunk. The truth is that fans like to think they know how their idols really are but none of us have the slightest clue about it. He’s been arrested more than once while under the influence, we’ve all seen Paris pics with bruises and there have been plenty SA allegations throughout the years. There’s a pattern and that’s why I’m not willing to think he’s 100% innocent right away.

But if in the past he committed SA, he should be held responsible.

That’s honestly one of the reasons why it’s not a good idea to idolise celebrities like him, especially if they disappoint us one way or another. This has happened to me before with somebody else and that got me mad, though I eventually prayed for them. But even then, it doesn’t help that many of the celebrities alive today are morally or ethically suspect in one way or another. It’s actually not uncommon for them to be immature, abusive, perverts, mean-spirited, spiteful, criminal or horrible.

There are celebrities who are genuinely good people, or at least very decent people at that. But whenever other celebrities do questionable acts like spiting their own parents, no matter how good they are to them, then they really do have feet of clay. They aren’t even actual role models, not that we can’t like flawed people. But it doesn’t help that when they do questionable acts that are racist or misogynistic or even assault people, they really aren’t going to be genuinely good in some ways.

If there’s somebody who’s morally perfect in every way, it would be Jesus Christ and I suggest you should turn to him if your favourite celebrity turns out to have feet of clay. You may not like what I’m saying, but if Nick Carter disappoints you there’s always somebody better than him. I have done this with another celebrity before, but the following year I became a Christian. I still think if Nick Carter’s not as nice as others think he is, it’s either he was never a nice person to begin with or that fame got into his head when he started doing questionable acts thinking he can get away with it.

That’s one of the reasons why celebrity fandom isn’t going to do anybody good in the long run, what if that celebrity has so many bad traits that it disappoints you. It happened to me before with one celebrity and I suggest you should stop what you’re doing and pay attention to me. Somebody may not always be a celebrity to lead a seemingly good life, but if they have depression and are addicted to porn then they have feet of clay as well. So stop worshiping these people, if because they will disappoint you at any given time. I’ve been through it before and this is my warning to all of you.
