189 The Illusion of Change

Probably one of the greatest deceptions taking place in our times is the illusion of change, and I'm not just talking about the Obama administration, although it's definitely a perfect example of it.

In order to create the illusion of change, some actual change has to take place, but only on the surface.

And it's true, on the surface, things have changed a lot over the past 100 years: our ways of getting from point A to B, our methods of communicating, or keeping ourselves fed, clothed and entertained.

However, no substantial change has taken place in the deep motivations of mankind for our actions, no significant change of heart.

We're still ruled by the same fears and lusts as our ancestors of all times. We just think we are superior because we have changed on the surface.

You put a remote control into a man's hand instead of a plow or shovel, and he'll think he's "evolved."
- Or a machine gun instead of a sword, and he may think he's come a long way. But the end result is the same.
You put a black face on the President, and at first everyone is awed: We've certainly never seen THAT before, nor did we ever think we were going to live to see it, but when it's just the same stupid white men pressing the buttons on his remote control who controlled the last puppet, it's "Meet the new boss - same as the old boss..."


That's what stinks about organized Christianity, also increasingly referred to as "Churchianity:" It totally misses the drift of its supposed Founder. Christianity as it is has become a force for conservatism in this world, when its original Founder was and is the total and absolute opposite.
What Jesus was and is and will always represent in this world of phony changes, is total Revolution, and total break with the decaying, sinful ways and attitudes of man, which haven't changed a bit since Adam and Eve, except that they've gotten worse, similar to the condition of a carcass over time.

If He is the Life, we are the dead. If He is the Way, we've been certainly going in the opposite direction. If He's the Truth, then most of what you will hear from us, the pride and glory of civilization, is the opposite. Just turn on the TV and count the lies you will hear within 30 minutes. Providing you are still able to discern between truth and lies. You'll get the drift.

So, change has happened, alright: the lies have become more and bigger. The condition of the carcass humanity has worsened. However we're more delusional than ever in our perception of ourselves as the greatest thing to ever have happened on God's earth. Until perhaps we catch an accidental glimpse of the 40.000 people we allow to starve each and every day right in front of our noses, just to make sure there'll be enough left for us tomorrow...

So, you may buy into all the hype and rah-rah of progress, advance and the glories of mankind, I don't buy it. As Dylan once put it:

"So, sing your praise of progress
and of the doom machine
the naked truth is still taboo
whenever it can be seen."

What's worst about the illusion of change is that it makes us think we don't need any real change.
What's worst about the illusion of health is that it makes us think we don't need the Doctor.
What's worst about our oh so great perception of ourselves, is that we'll never realize just how badly we need Somebody to drag us out of our mess.

What's worst about Satan's puppets acting like all the saviors we ever needed is that we'll never realize how badly we need Jesus.

What's worst about our blindness is that we actually think we see.

Thus is the deadly venom of the illusion of change.



Saint John's visions of the coming leader of the New World Order, commonly referred to as the Antichrist (with reference to his intentions and philosophical inclinations, thus strongly leading to the conclusion that he could not be the Pope), strongly indicate that he will be the culmination of all previous world empires rolled into one, from ancient Egypt to Rome. In other words, even though he may be availing himself of every hi-tech facility thinkable in order to control, enslave and terrorize his global subjects, underneath, it's going to be the same barbaric and tyrannical spirit as always.

The only One actually ever effecting REAL change in the course of history will be Jesus.

He may have subtly done so during His first coming.

It will be significantly less subtly during the next.
