Elizabeth Taylor's Passing - Human Fame, Vanity and Dust in the Wind

In Light of the Passing of Those of Great Fame and Fortune.

.

In light of Elizabeth Taylor’s passing on, I have noticed the world’s secular media (1 John 2:15-17) praising Miss Taylor as a cultural “do as thou wilt” trend setter, one who showed NO scruples when it came to sound Judeo/ Christian values and morality; especially to the God ordained institute of marriage (Matt. 19:4-6, 1 Cor. 9:6, Heb. 13:4). Such secular and godless traits of these individuals are greatly applauded and encouraged by the world to its inhabitants (Rom. 1:32, 1 John 2:15-17).

To the secular world (1 John 2:15-17), Miss. Taylor’s philanthropy and endless work in AIDS research and charity is her lifetime’s pinnacle achievement. She raised millions of dollars while encouraging the destructive lifestyle that most of its infected patients indulged in. It is safe to say that Miss Taylor lived a full and bountiful life, tasting all of the fruits that this world has to offer its temporally visitors. In the end, one must ask, did Miss Taylor possessed the RIGHTEOUS perfection that one so desperately needs to stand before Almighty God, one’s Creator and Judge (Rom. 10:2-4, Heb. 9:27, Rev. 20:11-15)? That is a question one will never hear from the world's media.

"Did Miss Taylor possessed the RIGHTEOUS perfection that one so desperately needs to stand before Almighty God, one’s Creator and Judge?"

The Old Testament Book of Ecclesiastes is the tragic biography of Adam’s fallen race (i.e., humanity) told by the wisest of all men, King Solomon. King Solomon possessed it all: wisdom, brilliance, discernment, authority, prestige, riches/ wealth, property/ possessions, power, fame, women and glory. Amazingly, as he was reflecting on his life in his last days, he made this very sobering and tragic statement: “Vanity of vanities…all is vanity” (Eccl. 1:1-15, 12:7-8).

In possessing all of this stature and achievement, it never satisfied the eternal void of his heart. All of it did not - and could not - yield peace and contentment. In the end, all of Solomon's great achievements and pomp could never deliver him in the hour of his death. To Solomon, all indeed was truly dust in the wind...

Dust in the Wind, the title of a song released by the group Kansas in the late 1970’s, is a melancholy piece regarding the terrible uncertainties and brevity of earthly existence. There is no certainty, no hope, no expectation, no solution and no deliverance. The song is painted with pessimistic colors and presents a bleak and tragic picture with absolute abandonment and no salvation to be found. All we are is dust in the wind….

"All we are is dust in the wind"

What the majority of humanity (and the song) greatly misses is that without Almighty God, our Creator and Sustainer and His righteousness, all is indeed an absolute tragedy, vainity and dust in the wind (Psalm 39:5). My friend, that was never God’s plan and purpose for His creation (Rom. 5:12-21). It is Almighty God’s sincerest desire that all would come to the saving knowledge of His Son Jesus Christ and have Eternal Life. The Bible states:

"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. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved" (John 3:16-17)

"Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die…?" (Ezekiel 33:11)

"For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost" (Matt 18:11)

"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light" (Matt 11:28-30)

Jesus said, "The thief (Satan) cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly" (John 10:10)

Your existence here in time does not have to end in vanity. Almighty God has a great future plan and purpose for your life.

But as it is written, "Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him" (1 Cor. 2:9)

"Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live" (John 11:25)

"And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever" (Rev. 22:5)

.

"Without Almighty God’s remedy for our sinful condition which is found only in the Person of His Son Jesus Christ, indeed all is truly vanity and dust in the wind."

l.

"For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? " (Matt 16:26)

"Behold, thou hast made my days as an handbreadth; and mine age is as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity. Selah" (Psalm 39:5).
.
"And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire" (Rev 20:11-15)

In the end, Solomon fully comprehended that Almighty God was absolutely essential for the existence of man. To know Him is life eternal with great expectation and purpose!

"Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil" (Eccl. 12:13,14)

Do you know the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior? To know Him is to have Eternal Life and possess Eternal Hope. May it be your sincere desire to know the One that made it all possible for you to have all of God’s highest and best for your life - both here in time and also for eternity.

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

Glenn Beck - The Voice of Itching Ears

.
Beck of late has been speaking about God more than any conservative out there. Much of what he has to say sounds right, but when he speaks of a unity on a spiritual level with “conservative Christians” and rejects sound Biblical doctrine as laid out in Almighty God’s Word, thereby invoking spiritual ecumenicalism… stay away!

Lucifer today is seeking to set the stage for his man of lawlessness (2 Thess. 2:3-12). In the eternal (spiritual) sense, unbelieving conservatives are no different than unbelieving secularist. Both political ideologies collectively reject outright the saving grace of Almighty God and seek to establish their own righteousness by their deeds (works) (Rom. 10:2-4; Titus 1:15-15). Though one group is far more humanly virtuous and noble than the other, both groups have fallen completely short of the glory of God (Isa. 64:6; Rom. 3:19-23), and ALL have transgressed Almighty God’s RIGHTEOUS absolutes (given in the 10 Commandments).

"Unbelieving conservatives are no different than the unbelieving secularist. Both ideologies collectively reject outright the saving grace of Almighty God and seek to establish their own righteousness by their deeds (works)"

.
No sane individual either right or left can ever say that they have kept God's Perfect Law with their whole heart, soul and mind (Matt. 22:37-38; Rom. 3:19-23; Gal. 2:16-21; James 2:10). No one can ever obtain eternal redemption and salvation by any amount or type of works - no matter how many or virtuous and noble. ALL are guilty and ALL are transgressors of the RIGHTEOUS standards of Almighty God (Isa. 64:6; Romans 3:19-23, 6:23, 10:2-4; Eph. 2:8-9).

The God of Truth and Righteousness
.

.In these last days DO NOT be deceived by the false gospel spoken by smooth voices and subtle cunning inspired by Lucifer’s “angels of lights” (Matt 7:13-20, 24:4-5; 1 Cor. 4:3-4; 2 Cor. 11:13-15; Jude 1:10). Much truth and virtue with a little “cyanide distortion” will bring absolute ruin in the end (Matt. 7:26-28; Rev. 20:10-15). Things may sure look and sound good, but make sure they stand the biblical test of Almighty God’s Holy Word (Col. 2:8; 1 Tim 4:16; 2 Tim. 4:2-4; Titus 1:9-16).

My friend, let me ask you the ultimate question. Do you know the Lord Jesus as your personal Savior, as taught in the Bible? I would challenge you to make yourself absolutely certain of this. In the future many will be utterly horrified when they find out they have trusted a false religious system and deceived themselves by having their own make-believe Jesus (or god) in contradiction to God’s Word and the Spirit of God’s ministry (Matt. 7:21-23, 25:41; Rev. 20:10-15).

"Much truth and virtue with a little “cyanide distortion” will bring absolute ruin in the end"

.
We all will be held fully accountable for our transgressions against God's eternal absolutes. Only Christ has perfectly kept the full Law of God with His whole heart, soul and mind. It is ONLY by His FINISHED WORK on the cross of Calvary and by His resurrection from the dead that we can have pardon and find forgiveness (John 19:30; Rom. 10:4; Gal. 2:16-21; Heb. 9:12).

Good intentions pave the way to Eternal damnation. Remember what the Lord Jesus Christ stated:

Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I NEVER KNEW YOU: depart from me, ye that work iniquity (Matt 7:21-23).
.
As the day grows darker - nationally and globally – trust not the many sincere-sounding voices of unbelieving deceivers who are out there, but may you find your hope and eternal expectations ONLY in Almighty God’s dear Son in Spirit and in Truth (John 4:24).

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

 No offence to Glenn Beck on this matter but we have to tell it like it is (Phil. 2:16, 1 Tim. 1:19, 2 Tim. 4:3, Titus 1:9). Glenn is a great American and U.S. constitutional defender for which we are truly thankful; but when it comes to Biblical absolutes it is our sincere desire for Glenn to be biblically objective and come to a saving relationship as taught in the Holy Scriptures to Almighty God (Matt 7:21-23, John 4:24, Rom. 10:2-4, Eph 2:8-9,  Rev. 22:14-15).

Operation Slander, the Race Card and the Father There Of

During any rational discussion or debate on social or political issues, when the Left find themselves devoid of a rational reply they always have one tactic in their reprobate arsenal and game plan: Operation Slander.

The secular, liberal Leftist ideology is based on a delusional reality, governed and dominated by an irrational, emotional instability which springs forth from a well of outright disdain for the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God. They are also dominated by their unbridled passions and carnal addictions (Rom. 1:18-32; 2 Tim. 3:1-7; Gal. 5:19-21). When confronted with reality and light, these MUST with all speed DEMONIZE, put on the DEFENSIVE, DISCREDIT and DESTROY to render their opponent powerless and insignificant (John 3:19-21). This defense mechanism of slander is the one trait that gives the liberal and his reprobate, sensually oriented mind (Rom. 1:18-32; 3:14-18) the ability to protect and preserve their base ideology, reputation and position.

"The slander tactic is the last desperate attempt in the struggle for self-preservation at all costs. That is why they will NOT hold back and are quite vengeful in delivering their blasphemies."
.

As a skunk seeks to protect itself with a pungent, vile spray on their enemy, so also does this crowd with their baseless stigmatizing, character assassination and casting a slanderous, foul odor on those who stand in their way representing right and truth. This defensive tactic, which utilizes lies and deceit, partial truths and utter falsehood, works wondrously on any potential victim. From the most powerful to the most common of men, all against whom it is directed are so sullied and stigmatized by this vile slanderous odor that it ruins them irrevocably. The slander tactic is the last desperate attempt in the struggle for self-preservation at all costs. That is why they will NOT hold back and are quite vengeful in delivering their blasphemies.
.
The Race Card Trumps
.
There have been many baseless slanders with which the Left has sought to demonize the Right. These include slanderous terms and phrases such as "bigot," "sexist," "xenophobe," "starver of innocent children," "stealer of social security," "hater of equal rights," "vile oppressor of the poor," etc. Quotes are often taken out of context and used to oppose moral absolutes and natural laws instilled by the Creator of all, Almighty God. But nothing has divided (and still divides) America and Americans like the Race Card. This tactic deftly employed can incite a vitriolic hatred and rage from the oppressed masses like wildfire. The Race Card is the tactic of choice used by the Left on those who they are seeking to discredit and destroy. From Bork, GW and Rush to the Tea Parties and Conservatives in general, the Left loves to play this card….and small wonder? Ninety percent of the black vote in American goes to the white run, secular-socialist, immoral and decadent Democratic Party.

"What is most troubling and tragic is that those sought by the Democratic Left to slander and destroy with destructive accusations are the very ones who have been the greatest advocates for civil rights and equality for all. These noble principles are derived from the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God."

What is most troubling and tragic is that those sought by the Democratic Left to slander and destroy with destructive accusations are the very ones who have been the greatest advocates for civil rights and equality for all. These noble principles are derived from the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God. A brief review and historical study of the topic should silence any critics. There exists an overwhelming abundance of evidence to this fact, and history has shown who is on the right side of this issue and who is not. No one can deny that our beloved U.S.A. has as part of its past the blood of African-American slaves on its hands and unspeakably vile atrocities committed against them. But a close examination of who these oppressors were will reveal a common unity with the Democratic, secular godless Left of today and their continuing oppression of the black man and family. (Read: Uncle Sam's Plantation by Star Parker)

We have seen of late - especially in light of Michelle Obama’s address to the NAACP (a leftist, Marxist, liberal organization, by the way) - this tactic in full deployment. The more we see and hear this baseless Race Card slander from the Left, the more we know they are at their wits end and are devoid of any kind of reasonable debate based on Natural Laws in the arena of ideas.

Redefining America with the Victicrat Sword

It’s no secret that the totalitarian regime of Barak Hussein Obama is at war with America’s Founding Fathers, our Constitution and all that has traditionally been American. Obama and the Left are currently trying to redefine America and its godly heritage on a daily basis. They seek to remold it into their secular-socialist visions of Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Alinsky and Ayers. Every policy instituted by Obama and the Left has been achieved by means of lies, false promises, subtle false virtues and totally baseless slander shown to any who oppose their lawless designs on America. They single-handedly oppress the lower class of Americans (red, yellow, black and white), socially ravished and devastated by the socialistic fallout and designs of their secular "Demelite” masters on the Left. Their core goal is to keep these victicrats dumbed down, subjective, needy, angry, oppressed, envious, bitter and constantly enraged for serving their socialistic designs. It is the Left’s master design to keep the American Dream as far as humanly possible from these socially dependent masses, with the reason being they can be at the Left’s beck and call at any occasion. Victicrats are as a sword in the hand of the Left to be wielded against their enemies for the purpose of intimidation and ultimate destruction.

"It is the Left’s master design to keep the American Dream as far as humanly possible from these socially dependent masses, with the reason being that they can be at the Left’s beck and call at any occasion."

It must be noted that the victicrat must find his salvation and hope in Almighty God's Son, Jesus Christ (John 3:16-17; Acts 4:12) and in His righteousness (Rom. 10:2-4), not in Washington D.C.'s oppressive solutions of tyranny.
.
The Father of the Slander Tactic
.
Lucifer, the Son of the Morning, the greatest creation of Almighty God, is the progenitor and father of the slander tactic (John 8:44; Ezek. 28:12, 15). He is called the Father of Lies, Satan (adversary), the Devil (slanderer), the dragon, that old serpent (Rev. 12:9).

In eternity past Lucifer enjoyed a relationship to Almighty God. I truly believe there was a point in his existence where he loved and adored and the Triune God with all his heart. He had the chief place as Protector of the Holiness of God (Ezek. 28:14), and he was the worship leader and choir director of Heaven (Ezek. 28:13). Lucifer enjoyed all the heavenly blessings of his rank and position. As events proceeded, though, there came a time when he became proud, arrogant, envious and bitter. In his foolish heart he sought the place of his Eternal Creator and Sovereign for himself, and he led a delusional rebellion against Almighty God in which he and his followers were cast out (Isaiah 14:12-15; Ezek. 28:15-18; Jude 1:6; Rev. 12:4). Lucifer could have remained in his highly honored position indefinitely, enjoying the eternal blessings and fellowship with His Creator. In his madness, however, Lucifer chose rather to abandon the confines of absolute reality and perfection for a vain existence in the darkness of make-believe and delusion. In his attempt to exalt and preserve himself at all cost, he rejected and abandoned all that was real, becoming a murderer of souls, a tyrant of humanity, a despot to the fallen angelic host and a mastermind of slander, false truths and darkness. He is known as the Prince of Darkness (error, delusion and vain imagination), for this is his reality (Isaiah 14:16-17; John 8:44; 1 John 3:8; Rev. 12:9).

"In a vain attempt to preserve his estate at any cost, Lucifer designed the slander tactic to deflect any righteous criticism and to distract attention from his lawless activity and diabolical intentions."

.

He is the adversary (Satan) against ALL reality, truth and eternal absolutes, i.e., all that pertains to Almighty God. He is the slanderer (devil) against all those who stand in his way, especially those who trust and believe in Almighty God in Spirit and Truth and so are His children and followers (John 8:44).

Lucifer's (Satan's) Minions abound everywhere today in the American Mainstream Media, Washington, local principalities, Hollywood, etc. They unknowingly do his will. He knows how to maneuver and appeal to our carnal (fleshly) fallen nature which is governed by the five physical senses (sight, smell, taste, touch and hearing). The secular liberal mindset is the most open to Satan's suggestions for a Godless trend-setting agenda. They do his will quite readily because they are the most susceptible to it (1 Tim. 4:1-3; 2 Tim. 3:1-7; 2 Thess. 2:10-12).

As these days are coming to a grand climax called the Tribulation Period, a time of lawlessness and the Day of Almighty God’s wrath, expect the slanderous activity of godless men and women to intensify at exponential speeds (Matt. 24; 2 Tim. 3:1-7).

There is only One who is totally trustworthy and true (Titus 1:2; Heb. 6:18). There is only One who is worthy of all praise and honor (Rev. 4:11, 5:9). There is only One who, no matter how much He is blasphemed and slandered against, will always will be vindicated in the endlessness of forever (Isa. 45:23; Rom. 14:11; Rev. 22:1-5). Do you know the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Savior? In these last days make sure and certain that you truly know the One who in the end will be victorious forevermore.

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
