I feel if you have read enough of my posts it is not difficult to work out. I am pretty much a grouch. Anyway, this is looking a little ominous. Put it in the maybe, maybe not pile. 

So the drag queens are out but to quote a line from a song. There's only one King, and there's only one crown. and there ain't enough room for us both it's about to go down.

Now, you can say love your enemies as you love yourself. A lot of us can say a lot of things out of the bible (Jesus the word made flesh) If we want because there is a restrainer. I can't say what exactly the restrainer does but the thought of a restrainer being removed because of the stupid games you play does not sound good to me.

 

The Restrainer

In 2 Thessalonians 2:3 the apostle Paul referred to the revelation of “that man of sin.” He indicated “that man” cannot be revealed until a restrainer, who hinders his revelation, is taken out of the way (vv. 6–8). In light of these remarks, three identifications must be addressed.

The One to Be Revealed
Paul described the person to be revealed as “that [literally, “the”] man of sin” (v. 3). The word translated “sin” means “lawlessness.”1 It “can denote a general state of lawlessness or wickedness.”2 This person will be controlled and characterized by a spirit of lawlessness.

Paul emphasized this fact in verse 8 by calling him “that wicked one” (literally, “the lawless one”). Paul’s use of the definite article the in both expressions implies this person will be the epitome of human lawlessness. He will oppose and reject all governing authority and laws except what he approves or establishes.

Viewing this in the light of Revelation 18 also seems a little coincidental.

Revelation 18

Lament Over Fallen Babylon

18 After this I saw another angel coming down from heaven. He had great authority, and the earth was illuminated by his splendor. With a mighty voice he shouted:

“‘Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great!’[a]
    She has become a dwelling for demons
and a haunt for every impure spirit,
    a haunt for every unclean bird,
    a haunt for every unclean and detestable animal.
For all the nations have drunk
    the maddening wine of her adulteries.
The kings of the earth committed adultery with her,
    and the merchants of the earth grew rich from her excessive luxuries.”

Warning to Escape Babylon’s Judgment

Then I heard another voice from heaven say:

“‘Come out of her, my people,’[b]
    so that you will not share in her sins,
    so that you will not receive any of her plagues;
for her sins are piled up to heaven,
    and God has remembered her crimes.
Give back to her as she has given;
    pay her back double for what she has done.
    Pour her a double portion from her own cup.
Give her as much torment and grief
    as the glory and luxury she gave herself.
In her heart she boasts,
    ‘I sit enthroned as queen.
I am not a widow;[c]
    I will never mourn.’
Therefore in one day her plagues will overtake her:
    death, mourning and famine.
She will be consumed by fire,
    for mighty is the Lord God who judges her.

Threefold Woe Over Babylon’s Fall

“When the kings of the earth who committed adultery with her and shared her luxury see the smoke of her burning, they will weep and mourn over her. 10 Terrified at her torment, they will stand far off and cry:

“‘Woe! Woe to you, great city,
    you mighty city of Babylon!
In one hour your doom has come!’

11 “The merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her because no one buys their cargoes anymore— 12 cargoes of gold, silver, precious stones and pearls; fine linen, purple, silk and scarlet cloth; every sort of citron wood, and articles of every kind made of ivory, costly wood, bronze, iron and marble; 13 cargoes of cinnamon and spice, of incense, myrrh and frankincense, of wine and olive oil, of fine flour and wheat; cattle and sheep; horses and carriages; and human beings sold as slaves.

14 “They will say, ‘The fruit you longed for is gone from you. All your luxury and splendor have vanished, never to be recovered.’ 15 The merchants who sold these things and gained their wealth from her will stand far off, terrified at her torment. They will weep and mourn 16 and cry out:

“‘Woe! Woe to you, great city,
    dressed in fine linen, purple and scarlet,
    and glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls!
17 In one hour such great wealth has been brought to ruin!’

“Every sea captain, and all who travel by ship, the sailors, and all who earn their living from the sea, will stand far off. 18 When they see the smoke of her burning, they will exclaim, ‘Was there ever a city like this great city?’ 19 They will throw dust on their heads, and with weeping and mourning cry out:

“‘Woe! Woe to you, great city,
    where all who had ships on the sea
    became rich through her wealth!
In one hour she has been brought to ruin!’

20 “Rejoice over her, you heavens!
    Rejoice, you people of God!
    Rejoice, apostles and prophets!
For God has judged her
    with the judgment she imposed on you.”

The Finality of Babylon’s Doom

21 Then a mighty angel picked up a boulder the size of a large millstone and threw it into the sea, and said:

“With such violence
the great city of Babylon will be thrown down,
never to be found again.
22 The music of harpists and musicians, pipers and trumpeters,
will never be heard in you again.
No worker of any trade
will ever be found in you again.
The sound of a millstone
will never be heard in you again.
23 The light of a lamp
will never shine in you again.
The voice of bridegroom and bride
will never be heard in you again.
Your merchants were the world’s important people.
By your magic spell all the nations were led astray.
24 In her was found the blood of prophets and of God’s holy people,
of all who have been slaughtered on the earth.”

When a dictatorship plays the game of putting the democracy label on their election. You win the stupid prize of an elected president. The media, FBI, CIA, DOJ, and those who retaliate against whistleblowers approve of this message.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

28 May 2023 - American elites are starting to concede that the world is rebelling against the US, and Washington has nobody to blame but itself

It is high time that the American people awaken to the crimes their country has committed, and to the fact that the rest of the world is painfully aware of them and is rebelling accordingly. After acknowledging this, Americans could finally start to hold their government accountable for its actions and demand that it stop antagonizing the world through unprovoked violence, and instead try to engage with other nations as equals in addressing the world’s pressing problems of poverty, illness and environmental degradation. It is the only course of action that can save humanity.
