Violence

Whenever there is some hideous act of violence taking place, all other news takes a backseat.  Most of these incidences are predominately in public places; such as schools, churches, malls and places of entertainment.  My readers may or may not, have viewed the movie titled, “My Name is Nobody”, 1973.  It is one of those “Spaghetti Westerns”; probably a box office sleeper, but over the years has gained more recognition as a “classic”.  However, that is not the reason I mention it.  I need to refer my readers to one particular scene; it shows Terrance Hill (Nobody) and Jack Beauregard (Henry Fonda), who is an infamous gunfighter; riding in the engineer’s cab of a train.  Nobody has followed Jack Beauregard’s career  all his life and predicted he would confront the entire “Wild Bunch” alone to make history, for which “Nobody” just rescued him from being nearly overrun by the remainder of them, after Jack killed off about 1/3 of the bunch, and escaped on this train.  Standing in the engineer’s cab, “Nobody” sharing some beans cooked in the train’s fire box; Jack Beauregard queried; “Now that you got me written up in the history books… now what?  Nobody answers; “Now you got to die.”  Jack asks another question; “Where”?  Nobody answered; “Where there are lots of people.”  

The point is, the public has a seemingly fascination with acts of violence.  The media knows it, and so did “Nobody”; for which he faked a gunfight in a rather large town, giving time for the crowd to disperse to the sides of the street and allow the photographer to set up his camera.  “Nobody” was faster; Jack pretended to be mortally wounded, and dropped to the ground.  This was “Nobody’s way for Jack to escape the west clean.  The entire movie is a rather humorous spoof and worth viewing.

President Trump stated during a recent rally in Illinois; he could not cancel these rallies because of a “sick and demented man”.  He also said, the day after 9-11, the Stock Exchanged opened and other such examples of people who believed there are things more important than to allow a hideous incident, to allow our lives to be disrupted.  No matter how one may slice it, human beings who are frustrated, angry, who are on the edge; can snap at any moment, and it is quite unfortunate there will be people in the wake of someone who have simply lost control.  Yes, we will grieve, mourn and pine for loved ones, and feel for those who must suffer loss.  For the most part, we are simply powerless to stop an incident, but we just might get a glimpse of someone who might be tittering on the edge, and there have been times, when an incident was stopped before it took place, as well as the very moment one is taking place and stopped.

Nevertheless, violence is becoming more and more commonplace in our openly polarized society and will continue to increase.  Matthew 24:7-8, “For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be famines and earthquakes in divers places.  But all these things are the beginning of travail.”  The word “nation”, in the Greek language is “ethnos”, where we get the word “ethnic”, in the English language.  Christ prophesized this would take place before “the end”.  To continue in verse 37, “And as [were] the days of Noah, so shall be the coming of the Son of man.”  Genesis 6:11, “And the earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.”  And verse 13, “And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.”

I stated before, and bears repeating; I firmly believe President Trump won the 2016 presidential election, as a last chance from God, for this nation to repent.  All prophecy is conditional and we can change the conditions, if we heed God’s word.

God called Jonah, to warn the city of Nineveh to repent or it will be destroyed.  But Jonah did not agree with God, because Jonah hated the people of Nineveh and wanted God to destroy it.  It is surmised that Jonah fled as far as 2000 miles away.  Jonah allowed himself to be tossed into the sea, because he knew the storm was caused by his escaping God’s call.  He was then taken into a “great fish” (a whale is not a fish, but a mammal) and three days later released from it to go and prophesize to the city of Nineveh, and they repented.  I also revealed in another prior blog that the “Powers That Be” recognized that Trump was allowed by God to become our 45^th President, for which they declared in two words, “God intervened”.

Guess what folks, I have just prophesized to you and it is now my reader’s responsibility to heed it or ignore it.  In addition, I would admonish my readers; who do you believe; God or men?  Romans 3:4, “God forbid: yea, let God be found true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy words, And mightest prevail when thou comest into judgment.”  Moreover, all prophecy is duel, which means it happened once and will happen again.  We have an opportunity to make the above known, and maybe, just maybe; we can change the conditions to favor the envy of the entire world… America!  Let me also add that The Bible is a jigsaw puzzle, for which I have personally studied for the past 38 years, and just like the Energizer Bunny, still going…

America is seriously divided or polarized, politically.  I have written in a prior blog that this began with “political correctness”, in 1995.  Everything has an origin.  “Political correctness” is a war of words, and if this continues to pervade our speech and added onto with more so-called “repugnant” words and/or phrases, we will become even more divided or polarized, and provoke more violence.  Those who promote “political correctness” are the enemies of our “First Amendment”.  The “Left” touts that “words hurt”.  What happened to the childhood phrase, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me?”  I dare say, we need to challenge “political correctness” and use words and phrases that magnify our “Freedom of Speech” and if the “Left” wants to challenge us, let them sue.  They can’t win, if our courts are true to our “Constitution”.  Hate speech is not yet a crime, but it is being treated as such.  And if indeed “hate speech” does become a crime, then we just lost our First Amendment.  “Let there be peace and let it begin with me.”
