I bet a lot of you watched 'A Bug's Life' at least once. I watched it
while growing up, as I'm sure a fair amount of you did as well. Some of
you have kids who have seen it.
I also bet that a lot of you
remember the story that preceded that movie; the basis of it. The
hardworking ant does so much work to provide for the colony all year
round and the lazy grasshopper who did no work was unprepared and
expected the ant to take care of it.
In 'A Bug's Life', we
cheered for the ants and applauded Flik's courage. We booed the
grasshopper who only sought to use the ants and have them put in hard
work all for their own benefit while the ants suffered.
We are
the ants. We work hard all year round to provide for ourselves and our
families; those of us who can work. The grasshoppers at the top of the
chain keep telling us it's not enough; they just can't support us in
this time of need, yet we have worked hard to support them and promote
them in this hierarchy of greed.
We're given luxuries and the
illusion of freedom to make us apathetic; made to be cynical and
untrusting, so we continue to fail to come together for a common goal.
We all have to trust somebody at some point and who is there that's
worth trusting in this day and age where nobility and honour are things
of the past?
We're slaves from the minute we're born. We become
indebted to society and will have to work the entire rest of our lives
to secure any type of freedom; and even that only lasts as long as the
money. We are told from birth that we're free, but if you look around
you, you realize you have to pay to live.
The government keeps
taking away our freedoms here and there where they can; watching for any
threat against them. They are not afraid to attack the public to ensure
fear, and they know how to cover it up to make it look like someone
else did it.
People deep in conspiracy theories say to follow the
money. They're not far off. Our vote for president does not matter. We
vote and it passes through the electoral college; a group of up and
coming politicians who are eager for promotion through the ranks of
politics and are willing to please those who are able to make such
things happen. A good amount of them come from colleges of prominence;
you tend to have to come from a family of money.
Our votes go to
the Electoral College and they get to decide whether or not our votes
mean anything at all; they then vote how they want to regardless.
All
of our presidents have come from highly acclaimed colleges that you
really have to be a member of a family with money to attend. They
attended private schools while growing up, which also costs a good
amount of money. They are indoctrinated from an early age by these
schools to run this country through politics and legalese.
The Republican and
Democrat parties are the only two parties that really get noticed; again
due to money. There is an almost limitless amount of money pushed forth
to pay for advertising, etc. for those two parties. By the end of every
election, only those two parties are left standing, because they got
the most attention.
But that's just the outer shell of
Government. The true power lays in Congress, which is based in
Washington D.C., which is not even a part of the United States. It is a
District of Columbia. They have their own convoluted methods of getting
into office and all of them love the smell of money; which can
conveniently be taken without anyone's knowledge because, technically,
they are not in the US.
Our laws themselves are a convoluted mess
that constantly undermine our Constitution and really only work to make
criminals out of people who can not maneuver through the loopholes of
the law and makes criminals out of people who have harmed no one and
nothing. When it works, you feel reassured that the system is working,
making you forget just how much they get wrong and how much they allow
to go on.
Intelligent enough to run their sweatshops and work the
system, but never intended to be smart enough to see through it; that
was their hope. How they have manipulated the American population
because they need us for support; yet abandon us when we need it most
and keep cutting away that support so more and more people die and they
can count it off as an 'unavoidable sacrifice' while they pursue 'greater
good' around the world.
People are corrupted on a daily basis;
made to be confused because they're allowed to do almost anything they
want and can get away with. Nobody is really allowed to discipline their
children any more due to the laws. Everyone's afraid of getting
arrested for it. Or, worse yet, they truly believe their child should
have everything and overlook all of the bad things they do because
they're so blinded with love. Or worst yet, they don't love their
children at all and do nothing but make of their lives a living hell
where the children can only hope to go out and do the same instead of
giving in to the call of suicide.
Eventually it's going to
crumble; it's all going to fall apart. Everything they ever worked for
will be gone and we'll be left to pick up the pieces and try to put it
all together. No doubt, some other enterprising individual will seek to
control us in similar manners, manipulating us and telling us we need
government; that someone needs to run things for everyone else.
When
does the cycle end? If you truly believe it can be achieved without
violence, you are naive and you've fallen for what they want you to
believe. I really pity you because when violence does break out; as it
always does when two immovable objects collide; you will be caught by
surprise; you will panic and you will almost surely perish in the
ensuing chaos.
Imagine a world free of grasshoppers; free of
those who only seek to take advantage of people. A world where we take
care of each other and the other animals on this planet. A world where
technology and education were equal for everyone and people didn't have
to live in fear or insecurity, because everyone was happy and able to
get along.
There is no way to get that without violence, because
there is no way the people in charge will allow it to happen. It's not
profitable to them; they don't get to be in charge; they don't get to
have power because everyone is equal and we all have power as equals.
We'll all be intelligent and knowledgeable enough not to be manipulated
and corrupted into allowing others to take freedom from us. Everything
we do will be by choice and it won't be pressed on us under duress.
I'm
not saying to go out and start a fight or to start a war. Just wake up;
be aware of what's going on. Be prepared. The more they try to stop
change, the more change persists and when it finally happens, the
result is infinitely more chaotic than if people had just allowed it to
happen naturally. This is the result of all the negativity and hate
that has been allowed to circulate because for way too damn long, the
good among us have fought and then inevitably stopped fighting because
we believed the fight to be over.
We, as a species, always need
to remain vigilant against being taken advantage of in any way; we need
to be wary of the people who know how to say the things we like to hear
so they can get something from us that we inevitably fail to realize is
taken until it's too late. We know how cunning and how ruthless people
can be at times and lies rush ever ready to the surface when pressed by
necessity.
Being a 'hero' is discouraged by society in this day
and age. Bullies run things and people love to laugh at the person who
tries; they wear them down until they're nothing. Meanwhile, people walk
by who never do a thing to help. They do nothing out of fear, because
they believe it impossible of themselves to be a hero; they believe
themselves to be weak, because that's the insecurity that's inevitably
driven in when we're continually overwhelmed. It's divide and conquer at
its best and those with popularity from being top dog hate to give it
up.
The thing is, we're all heroes if we allow ourselves to be.
We are all stronger than most of us will ever realize and hopefully will
never have to realize. If we all stood up at once, the bullies would be
outnumbered. If we all were heroes, none of us would have to be
ostracized or become so full of negativity that we become the bullies we
once hated; lashing out in pain and bitterness.
The only people
who are sheep are those who haven't woken up to realize that they're the
lions charged with keeping the wolves away.

Children
It is important to discipline your children, no matter what the law might state. The law was originally intended to keep people from going overboard on disciplining their child and many people have lost sight of that.
It's great that there are people who want to be friends with their kids; that's just as important as discipline. You have to find a balance between the two, where a child may be happy, but also know where a line is drawn.
It goes even further toward the proper education of the child if you explain why they are being punished in a manner that they can understand. Do not treat your child as if they are stupid, but take into account they might not be understanding something the way you're saying it. Every child is different.
Without discipline, children become spoiled, they lack understanding of consequences to their actions. They will go out and do horrible things. So, too, if your over-discipline your child, they have no understanding of anything other than being oppressed and will similarly go out and do horrible things.
The development of any child is tricky and not everyone is cut out to be a parent. These are hard facts of life and the lack of efficient guidelines for parents and children hows in our society.
The perfect parent has a blend of understanding both the mind-frame of the child and of themselves. They know how to be reasonable and allow their child to have fun, insofar as they are not harming anyone or themselves, and know when to discipline and how much. They are not overly affected by the trials and tribulations of their youth or the anger and repressed hatred that they feel for those who raised them.
Any child deserves so much better care and attention than we received while growing. Some of us already had great parents and teachers and so shouldn't need this bit of advice. But the fact remains those are few and far between. Take time with your children; teach them how to think for themselves, how to live; how to avoid pitfalls. Teach them how to learn the best lessons from any given situation. Teach them how to make mistakes and how never to give up.
Our children remain the future of our world and the more and more we ignore them and allow them to raise themselves out of our own laziness and wish to just sit back and let TV or Video Games do the work, the worse off we all will be. Like any growing things, children need tender loving care, attention, and strict guide lines explained in ways they can understand for how we should interact with others.
It's frustrating at times. Kids can be annoying. They can completely frazzle you and wear you out. But, they are just children and you are the adult. You need to set the best example that you can and be the role model for them to exemplify. Why pass on to them all the negative BS that you had passed on to you? Why teach them how to abuse and manipulate and use those around them? Did you ever like anyone else doing that to you? No, I bet you did not.
Being a parent isn't a loyalty contest, either. Getting your child's back regardless of the situation is just lunacy. If they fucked up, they fucked up. What are they going to do when you're no longer around to protect them from their fuck ups? You must exemplify deeper underlying loyalty by showing them responsibility and maturity and let them know that regardless of how they fuck up, you will be there loving them, but you can not save them from the consequences of their own actions.
Even if you can save them from them, you do so at great harm to them. You do far more harm by sheltering your kids from the world than by preparing them for it. And, if you prepare your children properly, they will go throughout the world and spread it on to others in the same fashion. It all begins and ends with our children.

Tl;dr
Too
often these days I see people too impatient to read through a ten minute
snippet of text. They say such famous lines as 'tl;dr' and 'you didn't
have to write a book'.
The problem is that a single word can change the meaning of an entire body of words laid together; depending on the word. To summarize anything in simple and concise sentences leaves a lot out that should be explained. It allows too much for people to infer various different things from a single point of origin; some times things that the original person who said the words never intended.
Those of us that continue to spread those concise statements see the things we like to see and expect others to see the same things, not realizing the differing viewpoints that would allow even the most basic of messages to become altered and skewed to fit an individuals perspective.
A frightening large amount of people no longer have the patience or attention span to have something fully explained to them, and this is by design. From our cartoons to our social media, everything is designed for the person on the fly; the person with too much going on to pay attention fully to things they should; a person too caught up in the proceedings of society to take a moment to value things as they should; too caught up in chasing things they think are important that they fail to actually see what is important.
Where there is confusion, there is chaos; where there is chaos, there is man fighting his fellow man, allowing enterprising people who care little for such things to reach out and grab power and control of the world and its people for their own machinations. Distract the public, get them fighting each other and paying attention to things of little to no importance. Sleight of hand, like the US President and Congress:
"Please pay attention to the dancing monkey in the suit while we conduct our business in private. Thank you."
In the end, it's just another illusion; another magic trick; designed to deceive the public and getting them to believe in things that aren't at all important to the overall scheme of things and if they were to look behind the trick, they would be sorely disappointed with what they saw.
Another thing capitalized on is peoples ego. "We know so much that we have no reason to learn anything new, unless it's really interesting."
We are a nation of sheep that thinks they are wolves in sheep clothing and therein lays our downfall, because in our egotism and vanity, we fail to see that we are truly sheep and the true sheep in wolves clothing are far more diabolical and scheming than most of us have ever dreamed of being.
If this weren't the way of things; if people listened to wisemen instead of people in positions of authority who speak out their arses; things would be entirely different in the world and there would not be so much suffering.
Too long have the good and wise among mankind kept silent or been corrupted; too long has this all gone on. From era to era, generation to generation, person to person. This is not nature; this is insanity.

The Weak Are Meat...
I watched Cloud Atlas the other day. Brilliant movie and I recommend seeing it at least once or twice. Anyway, one line of the movie stuck out significantly for me: 'The weak are meat, and the strong do eat.'
I do not agree with this sentiment as I believe there not to be any weak people in the world; only those who have yet to find their strength. However, it paints a picture that 'peace-freaks' simply can not afford to ignore.
There are people in this world who believe; as strongly as you believe in the things you believe in; that they can take whatever they want, can do whatever they want. There is no way to talk them out of it; to speak to them reasonably about it; they will continue to prey upon those who they deem as weak.
It is a nice thought, that of solving the worlds problems through discussion, however it's not very realistic. Even though our world has seemingly moved past the chaos and carnage of past ages to deliver us unto a world of 'advanced' thinking (which isn't really advanced and has circulated to the surface countless times in history) humans are still, ultimately, the same.
Congressmen and women, politicians, etc. Not just government, but all over in all stages of society. They take and take and there is no give except that which is suitable to them. They twist and turn the existence of countless people who would rather live in peace all for their own momentary gain.
To ignore the fact that these people exist and exist in large numbers in the world is akin to ignoring the fact that good people exist in the world and exist in large numbers. Eventually, the unprepared will realize reality; most often too late; and a cycle continues on that we are only powerless to stop due to the majorities insistence on ignoring simple truths and allowing it all to continue through their fears and insecurities that others have put in them.
This is why I say a war is on the horizon; in fact it's already here. It's been here for quite some time and continues to be fought on various levels of both physicality and mentality. This is why I say a lot of people will die; however those deaths will be cut short by the deaths of natural disasters, which you can see by the news are hitting the world with increasing frequency as of late.
Those who ignore the signs and patterns of history and of the world around them are doomed to repeat them and doomed to be caught unawares by them.

Second Coming of Jesus Ramble Rant
When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him,
then he will sit on his glorious throne. Before him will be gathered all
the nations, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd
separates the sheep from the goats. And he will place the sheep on his
right, but the goats on the left. Then the King will say to those on his
right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom
prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and
you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger
and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you
visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.' Then the righteous will
answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or
thirsty and give you drink? And when did we see you a stranger and
welcome you, or naked and clothe you? And when did we see you sick or in
prison and visit you?’ And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to
you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it
to me.’
“Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.’ Then they also will answer, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to you?’ Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.’ And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only. For as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. Then two men will be in the field; one will be taken and one left. Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken and one left. Therefore, stay awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming. But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what part of the night the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into. Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.
Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his master has set over his household, to give them their food at the proper time? Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes. Truly, I say to you, he will set him over all his possessions. But if that wicked servant says to himself, ‘My master is delayed,’ and begins to beat his fellow servants and eats and drinks with drunkards, the master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know and will cut him in pieces and put him with the hypocrites. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
“So when you see the abomination of desolation spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place, then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let the one who is on the housetop not go down to take what is in his house, and let the one who is in the field not turn back to take his cloak. And alas for women who are pregnant and for those who are nursing infants in those days! Pray that your flight may not be in winter or on a Sabbath. For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be. And if those days had not been cut short, no human being would be saved. But for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short. Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There he is!’ do not believe it. For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. See, I have told you beforehand. So, if they say to you, ‘Look, he is in the wilderness,’ do not go out. If they say, ‘Look, he is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it. For as the lightning comes from the east and shines as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. Wherever the corpse is, there the vultures will gather.
The Coming of the Son of Man
"Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him, we ask you, brothers, not to be quickly shaken in mind or alarmed, either by a spirit or a spoken word, or a letter seeming to be from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come. Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God. Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? And you know what is restraining him now so that he may be revealed in his time. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work. Only he who now restrains it will do so until he is out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will kill with the breath of his mouth and bring to nothing by the appearance of his coming. The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders, and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
Friend, have you ever turned from your sins and received the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior? The Bible says, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." (Jhn. 3:16)
Many have the idea that our good works can save us and get us into Heaven, but the Bible says this isn't so:
"As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:" (Rom. 3:10)
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" (Rom. 3:23)
"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." (Eph. 2:8-9)
We have no real "good" works, because we're all SINNERS by nature. We were born into this world as sinners (Psa. 51:5), and this is why Jesus said we must be "born again" (Jhn. 3:3).
There's some misunderstanding because we are all the sons and daughters of God. This was a confusion as the spirit that entered Jesus was high in favor in the eyes of the lord and the only comparison that could be given to the people was that of the favor a father shows toward his son; the amount of love and loyalty because the spirit that entered jesus showed love and loyalty to the lord.
Our good works are not enough to save us or get us into heaven; we have to believe in good and believe in the fact that good will win out. To believe Jesus is our savior is to believe that he died for our sins. He did die for our sins, so he is our savior. To believe in Jesus is to believe in goodness because he did nothing but preach goodness and to live in goodness. But, the bible says that as it is written there is none righteous, no; not one. For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.
Jesus is no different; he is not an exception to the rule.
"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God; Not of works, lest any man should boast."
By having the grace to let go and realize that your works are not your own; that through acting by yourself you will only cause more harm than good, you save yourself. To open yourself up and allow goodness to work through you instead of claiming it as your own power and boasting of it; because the latter will ruin you in the end.
This is what is meant by being 'born again'; we must be born again through the fire and flame of living to become as pure as vessels as we can be for the transmittance of good through us; not by us.
This will be the great "golden age" which the ancient philosophers only dreamed about. This will be GOD'S New World Order, rather than man's. This will be a time of world peace, for the Prince of Peace will be ruling the world in righteousness (Isa. 9:6; Luk. 1:32; Isa. 2:2-4).
There will be only ONE RELIGION during the Millennium. Those who refuse to worship Christ will be punished (Zec. 14:16-19).
People will be happy during this time, because Satan will no longer be around to tempt them. The curse of Genesis chapter three will be lifted, and men will once again live long lives as they did in the days of Adam, Noah, and Methuselah (Isa. 33:24; 65:20).
There will be better farming and weather conditions (Isa. 30:23-26; Amos 9:13-15; Joel 2:19-24; Ezk. 36:29-30), and wild animals will become tame (Isa. 11:6-9; Rom. 8:20-21).
The so-called "lost tribes" of Israel will be fully restored to their proper land divisions (Ezk. 36-48). Jerusalem will be the capital city of the world (Jer. 3:17; Mic. 4:8), and the violent acts of terrorism will not be tolerated. Justice will be executed in the earth like never before. Good will overcome evil. Things will be done on earth as they are in Heaven (Mat. 6:10). Christ and His saints will reign over the earth for one thousand years!
"'There will be only ONE RELIGION during the Millennium. Those who refuse to worship Christ will be punished', sounds very peaceful."
"Well, Jesus Christ is goodness embodied. Those who refuse to worship Jesus Christ; whether he existed or not; refuse to worship goodness. Those that turn away from good things are generally those who deserve to be punished, no?
The funniest thing is that the church believes they will be saved just by being baptized and believing jesus christ to be their savior; but they have failed to truly embody the beliefs, choosing instead to focus on blind faith of words passed down to them by other people with little thought of their own.
I'm leafing through and reading some of these interpretations and they're entirely self-serving and boastful and full of arrogance and pride; just the same as any man not belonging to a religion. They try to mold the teachings of goodness to what they want in an attempt to make allowances for their own downfalls that they see nothing wrong with.
Those found wanting to change for the better will be saved. Those who think they're already perfect and unable to become better in any way will not be saved; because they failed to realize the truth: that nobody is perfect, not even the Lord."
"All I'm saying is, while you follow stuff like this, don't say Jesus = peace."
"But Jesus *is* peace. It's man that's the problem. After Jesus died; or vanished from the scene, as some religions say that he survived the crucifixion and headed east, assuming a new name; it took 600 years for the state to issue the new testament version of the bible. Who would have been alive to contest their version of things? They changed a lot to suit what they felt was best for people to hear. The church left out Jesus' testimony entirely because it was so filled with heresy against the church for corrupting the beliefs of God. Yet, I say religion isn't all bad because it allowed for enough goodness to shine through that somewhere down the line someone would be able to piece together everything and see through the lies. Enough goodness made it through to allow countless people throughout the ages to live good lives.
All lies will be revealed, all deceptions shattered. Evil will be driven from the land by the words of a voice as sharp as any sword. But the world must first go through its paces, because this is the route that mankind has chosen to go.
The problem is that, over time, man ad-libbed their own religion to the point where it contradicted itself multiple times over. By the time Jesus arrived; when God saw fit to send his most trusted; they were so far gone down the wrong path that he only really spoke to the open-minded. Many of the people who belonged to the church at that time despised him, but Jesus gained such popularity from non-denominational people that they flocked to be baptised in his name; thus separating Catholicism from Christianity; and he did gain followers from the church, as well.
Over time, peoples stories suffered the 'telephone' effect as they were passed down from generation to generation, being embellished and added to or taken away from. When the new testament was actually released; people accepted it full force because it already fit with the part of the bible they already knew and probably fit in well with their own stories. Those people whose stories contrasted with the stories in the bible probably grumbled but accepted it as the authority. Those that didn't would have obviously been in arms about it. Catholicism accepted it because it was the popular route, but they made it their own and there were a few other branch-offs in religion around that time and since, as well.
But it was enough to give a diluted effect to the corruption that was spreading through man. It made a difference overall.
'As we get closer and closer to the Second Coming of Christ, there will be increasing and widespread doubt about whether Jesus even existed. People will also start wondering if God really exists and believers will leave the Christian faith'"
"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 doth judge and make war. 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 goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God; That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great. 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. And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh." (Rev. 19:11-21)
"And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more." (Isa. 2:2-4)
Only after a final war will people finally turn over their weapons and return to ways of peace. And only when those in power are over-turned with mere words. All people who are good at heart will be saved even if they never saw Jesus or knew him or knew of him, as he had said that 'as you have treated my brethren, the same you have treated me.'
We are at a culminating point in history where prophecy and psychology and science and myth and magic all meld together to create our reality. Without realizing it, many agencies are moving toward the completion of these prophecies. While realizing it, a good amount of agencies are at work seeking to undermine it and to prove that God is fallible, that they are better than God.
They will go through and conquer the world to prove it; they will command the multitude and manipulate them into service and then exalt themselves as better than God when they triumph. Israel is rebuilding its temple in Jerusalem; The world is slowly realizing that the majority of it is controlled by a single agency; the true mastermind of which is wrapped in shadows and can not be identified.
Marvels and wonders will be shown to the world and used to deceive it into further obedience. No timeline can accurately be given; nor can events be explained at any length in detail; because when they are known, they change based on what is known and expected as both sides try to get the jump on each other. It's a chess match a million times beyond the mental struggle between Dr. Moriarty and Sherlock Holmes. The moves have already been made, all that's left is to let them be executed and see which giant came out on top.
“Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.’ Then they also will answer, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to you?’ Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.’ And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only. For as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. Then two men will be in the field; one will be taken and one left. Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken and one left. Therefore, stay awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming. But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what part of the night the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into. Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.
Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his master has set over his household, to give them their food at the proper time? Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes. Truly, I say to you, he will set him over all his possessions. But if that wicked servant says to himself, ‘My master is delayed,’ and begins to beat his fellow servants and eats and drinks with drunkards, the master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know and will cut him in pieces and put him with the hypocrites. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
“So when you see the abomination of desolation spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place, then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let the one who is on the housetop not go down to take what is in his house, and let the one who is in the field not turn back to take his cloak. And alas for women who are pregnant and for those who are nursing infants in those days! Pray that your flight may not be in winter or on a Sabbath. For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be. And if those days had not been cut short, no human being would be saved. But for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short. Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There he is!’ do not believe it. For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. See, I have told you beforehand. So, if they say to you, ‘Look, he is in the wilderness,’ do not go out. If they say, ‘Look, he is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it. For as the lightning comes from the east and shines as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. Wherever the corpse is, there the vultures will gather.
The Coming of the Son of Man
"Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him, we ask you, brothers, not to be quickly shaken in mind or alarmed, either by a spirit or a spoken word, or a letter seeming to be from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come. Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God. Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? And you know what is restraining him now so that he may be revealed in his time. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work. Only he who now restrains it will do so until he is out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will kill with the breath of his mouth and bring to nothing by the appearance of his coming. The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders, and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
Friend, have you ever turned from your sins and received the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior? The Bible says, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." (Jhn. 3:16)
Many have the idea that our good works can save us and get us into Heaven, but the Bible says this isn't so:
"As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:" (Rom. 3:10)
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" (Rom. 3:23)
"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." (Eph. 2:8-9)
We have no real "good" works, because we're all SINNERS by nature. We were born into this world as sinners (Psa. 51:5), and this is why Jesus said we must be "born again" (Jhn. 3:3).
There's some misunderstanding because we are all the sons and daughters of God. This was a confusion as the spirit that entered Jesus was high in favor in the eyes of the lord and the only comparison that could be given to the people was that of the favor a father shows toward his son; the amount of love and loyalty because the spirit that entered jesus showed love and loyalty to the lord.
Our good works are not enough to save us or get us into heaven; we have to believe in good and believe in the fact that good will win out. To believe Jesus is our savior is to believe that he died for our sins. He did die for our sins, so he is our savior. To believe in Jesus is to believe in goodness because he did nothing but preach goodness and to live in goodness. But, the bible says that as it is written there is none righteous, no; not one. For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.
Jesus is no different; he is not an exception to the rule.
"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God; Not of works, lest any man should boast."
By having the grace to let go and realize that your works are not your own; that through acting by yourself you will only cause more harm than good, you save yourself. To open yourself up and allow goodness to work through you instead of claiming it as your own power and boasting of it; because the latter will ruin you in the end.
This is what is meant by being 'born again'; we must be born again through the fire and flame of living to become as pure as vessels as we can be for the transmittance of good through us; not by us.

Types of Trolls
In ancient times, a troll was an ugly, misshapen creature.
Over time, many variations of troll have emerged from the troll seen above; which is a mountain troll; to the trolls that live under bridges, cave trolls, etc. Including the popular versions of troll found in current video games such as God of War.
In recent years, the word troll has taken on a new meaning. It has been used in a variety of functions. To the modern linguist, a troll is a person who is found on the internet who waits for people to say something and then responds to it with the express intent of getting a reaction from them.
Many times, people have been called trolls simply for stimulating conversation with others, much to the dismay of online communities everywhere; and communication in general slowly dwindled down and became hostile.
As the troll evolved, it took on various forms. While the forms do remain too numerous to name, I have taken the liberty of highlighting those most often seen.
5-Headed Troll Beast
The number 5 is just a go-by. The average troll of this variety has multiple heads ranging from 2-10, though some may have upward of 50 heads or more. They all appear to be different, but at the core they're the same being and move in close packs that make them appear to be the same organism and might just be. They will act as normal trolls trying to get a reaction out of people and when a reaction is had, will use bully tactics to put you in your place and then make out like you attacked them.
Not very dangerous, mostly feeds on your anger and rage and pushes you to lose your cool so it can fuck with you.
The Illusionist Troll
This is a highly accomplished troll. What the 5-headed troll beast does with multiple heads; the illusionist can do with just one, and then some. The Illusionist can and will wrap you up in words, make out to be the victim; make you feel guilt, etc. and turn everything around on you leaving you a confused and insecure mess. A master of verbal and mental manipulation and highly dangerous.
The Gentle Troll
Generally a nice person that just likes to tease people and have a fun time; never means anything by what they say and is mostly liked by everyone.
The Troll-hunter Troll
Very rare and highly unappreciated. No danger to most, but can be very dangerous to other trolls. Can be as adept as the Illusionist and drive out the 5-Headed TrolL beast. Eats Lone trolls for lunch and constantly works to ensure that people can have a safe place to communicate without constant 'serious' trolling that they dislike. Known to speak logic and reason and common sense and loves to defend people who are having trolls get the better of them.
The Lone Troll
Otherwise known as 'the amateur troll'; While the Illusionist Troll and the Troll-Hunter Troll work by themselves; they're good at it. The Lone Troll can still be dangerous if handled inappropriately as they are known to get lucky from time to time. Usually evolves into either the 5-Headed Troll Beast or The Illusionist Troll.
(Unproven)The Mega-Troll Conglomerate
Masterminds arise within the trolling communities. Those exceptionally talented at what they do. Inevitably these are either the 5-headed troll beasts or the Illusionist types of trolls, that evolve into a higher state of being. They draw other trolls to them in this state and control them through various methods. They are multi-faceted and know many online tricks. They might be a hacker or programmer. As a group, they wield far more power and can actually affect events in the world. Think of a nerdy, troll version of fight club and this is the closest approximation one can give. The people that make these groups up could be anyone and anywhere and they use their power of numbers for great advantage. It is unclear as to how many such groups exist, let alone even one such group but it has to be theorized that one does exist; as these trolls do remain as variations of humans and humans are known to massively group together when common interest is found. What the goals of one of these groups might be is also hard to determine as they would be, by nature, trollish and untrustworthy, but they would know how to work people.
That's it for common types of trolls. Please remain careful while using the internet and watch out for trolls. If you notice you're being engaged by one, the best thing you can do is just ignore it until goes away. Stop responding to it altogether, unless you have the ability to see through its trolling and beat it down, which can be a drain on you emotionally and physically and requires a fair amount of will.
Knowing your enemy is half the battle.

They will act as normal trolls trying to get a reaction out of people and when a reaction is had, will use bully tactics to put you in your place and then make out like you attacked them.
Not very dangerous, mostly feeds on your anger and rage and pushes you to lose your cool so it can fuck with you.
The Illusionist Troll
This is a highly accomplished troll. What the 5-headed troll beast does with multiple heads; the illusionist can do with just one, and then some. The Illusionist can and will wrap you up in words, make out to be the victim; make you feel guilt, etc. and turn everything around on you leaving you a confused and insecure mess. A master of verbal and mental manipulation and highly dangerous.
The Gentle Troll
Generally a nice person that just likes to tease people and have a fun time; never means anything by what they say and is mostly liked by everyone.
The Troll-hunter Troll
Very rare and highly unappreciated. No danger to most, but can be very dangerous to other trolls. Can be as adept as the Illusionist and drive out the 5-Headed TrolL beast. Eats Lone trolls for lunch and constantly works to ensure that people can have a safe place to communicate without constant 'serious' trolling that they dislike. Known to speak logic and reason and common sense and loves to defend people who are having trolls get the better of them.
The Lone Troll
Otherwise known as 'the amateur troll'; While the Illusionist Troll and the Troll-Hunter Troll work by themselves; they're good at it. The Lone Troll can still be dangerous if handled inappropriately as they are known to get lucky from time to time. Usually evolves into either the 5-Headed Troll Beast or The Illusionist Troll.
(Unproven)The Mega-Troll Conglomerate
Masterminds arise within the trolling communities. Those exceptionally talented at what they do. Inevitably these are either the 5-headed troll beasts or the Illusionist types of trolls, that evolve into a higher state of being. They draw other trolls to them in this state and control them through various methods. They are multi-faceted and know many online tricks. They might be a hacker or programmer. As a group, they wield far more power and can actually affect events in the world. Think of a nerdy, troll version of fight club and this is the closest approximation one can give. The people that make these groups up could be anyone and anywhere and they use their power of numbers for great advantage. It is unclear as to how many such groups exist, let alone even one such group but it has to be theorized that one does exist; as these trolls do remain as variations of humans and humans are known to massively group together when common interest is found. What the goals of one of these groups might be is also hard to determine as they would be, by nature, trollish and untrustworthy, but they would know how to work people.
That's it for common types of trolls. Please remain careful while using the internet and watch out for trolls. If you notice you're being engaged by one, the best thing you can do is just ignore it until goes away. Stop responding to it altogether, unless you have the ability to see through its trolling and beat it down, which can be a drain on you emotionally and physically and requires a fair amount of will.
Knowing your enemy is half the battle.
