Bob Dylan: It doesn't take a weatherman to know which way the wind is blowing.

 

Luke 12: 55You hypocrites!
You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky;
why do you not know how to interpret the present time?

 

For those who follow such things, the rapture index is climbing rapidly as disaster piles upon disaster.  Whether you call it global warming or the end-time, we have clearly reached a climax in our development as a species, used up the yolk in our egg.  We will either evolve rapidly into more loving and cooperative beings, or we will become extinct, along with many other life forms.

 

Our social organization has deteriorated markedly over the past 5 years, as the planetary economy and military apparatus has been taken over by an evil cabal, who are minestripping the planet, and then what?  Rumor has it that this satanic group, the Bushes and Cheneys and their ilk, have built secret cities underground where they intend to dwell for the next several generations, while the rest of us perish in a nuclear Armageddon.

 

They have sold a significant portion of the population on the proposition that God is bloodthirsty and vengeful, and that he plans to destroy life on earth.  With great cleverness, this cabal has also convinced a fair number of people that they are God's chosen ones, and can do no wrong, no matter what laws of God and man they break.

 

But all this is changing rapidly.  The evil schemes are being brought to light, and the evil schemers are facing indictments, removal from office, and prosecution as civilians.  Their cloak of piety has been stripped away    by their callous indifference to the suffering of hurricane victims, families of fallen soldiers, and the poor in general.    

 

All of this is very much in line with prophecies of several major spiritual traditions, including Jews, Christians and Muslims. The end-time prophecies all include a satanic figure, an antichrist, whose hallmark is deception, and who does his best to create hell on earth.  His defeat heralds the dawn of a new age, an age of love and peace.

 

We are witnessing the downfall of the antichrist, the breaking of the power of the Bush administration over the media, the courts, and public opinion.  The spell is broken, the charm is gone.  Although evil legislation continues to pass in Congress, the rebellion there, too, is growing, as shown by the anti-torture amendment added to the defense bill.

 

The winds of change are blowing.  The God of truth and justice is asserting Him/Herself through prosecutors, public opinion polls, and citizen activism.

Now is the time to work for impeachment, and to strategize on how to make sure that the next US government holds to the godly values of truth, transparency, concern for the poor and needy, fairness in dealings abroad, and peace.

 

In the name of the Prince of Peace, Carol  Wolman
