Subject: Heads Up! FLEECED AGAIN
Date: Sunday, January 02, 2000 9:32 PM
Americans are already beginning to examine their Y2K stores.
What will become of the new DC generator stored in the garage, the
porta-potty, the water purifier and the freeze-dried beef and canned wheat?
A few who feared Y2K may have bought a remote cabin retreat with a garden
plot, or left good jobs to avoid expected inter city ethnic catastrophe.
We wish them well, they are not the first.
For most, Y2K will simply be a memory and a useful dry run in
self-preparedness. The biggest beneficiaries will be those who sold stuff
and bad advice. The most surprised people may be retailers with a
no-questions-asked return policy, for it is likely their parking lots and
return lines will be very busy indeed. There may actually be a serious Y2K
retail backlash from reverse sales when stuff gets returned and the family
decides to eat up the stored spam and canned stew, however reluctantly,
reducing their shopping needs for a few months.
I have seen no polls on the matter, but without a doubt many of those most
affected were influenced by Celebrity Christians, who were most susceptible
to the apocalypse epidemic. The Y2K ripoff is part of a more damaging
fleecing that has been perpetrated upon the Christians for three
generations. It is part of the great "end times" hoax that is far more
enduring and destructive than its adopted Y2K stepchild.
The doomsday cult was hatched in the 1830's in England in the person of
John Nelson Darby, the inventor of the British Israel movement. Before
Darby's revelations believers in Christ's deity generally thought the "end
time" ended when Jesus was murdered by the Pharisees and raised by God.
(Jesus told his Disciples they were living in the last days) Jesus taught
his followers that they lived in the times of responsibility, that come to
be known as the church age, a period of sober discipleship when it was the
responsibility of the Christian to carry out the "great commission"-- to
evangelize the unsaved world. And they did.
The rapture cultists, many of whom write books, have built their
theological empires (and in some cases vast fortunes) by convincing us that
Jesus was speaking directly to us, not his Disciples, when he talked about
about the last days. And what better time for an apocalypse, the Rapturist
reasons, than when the world is celebrating the Year 2000. God
could hardly pick a more symbolic moment to punish the wicked and reward
the righteous.
The idea that God practices numerology, and that the Year 2000 means
something special to Him is of course quite unchristian.* Numerology games
were not played by Jesus, nor practiced among the Disciples. This is more
a part of the pagan religions of the non-bible people, including the
Babylonians who taught it to the Pharisees of Jesus' time. Jesus and the
Disciples denounced the scribes and Pharisees who followed the
superstitions of these ancestors.
"Last days" theology effectively ended an era of Christian growth. For
many, the notion that Christians should be of preparing for a "tribulation"
has replaced the responsibility of evangelizing one's neighbors. Every
war, famine, earthquake and evil act of man is viewed as another sign of
that the "end times" have arrived. It has throttled the idea of
self-sacrificing discipleship that once fired Christians to compass the
world for Christ. In its place we have been influenced to accept a
fatalistic view of our neighbors and leave it to God to take care of the
unsaved after Gods people depart. For who will set a Christian example
for those left behind in the chaos of the "tribulation"? No one! In vivid
contrast, Jesus' plan called the righteous to teach by witness and example,
thus bringing the plan of salvation to the ungodly, even unto death.
Y2K appealed to the apocalyptic spirit of most Celebrity Christians who saw
an opportunity for God to do something really big during an impending
mini-catastrophe. Most Celebrity Christians helped God along with his
planning, un-bothered by Jesus' words that warn not to do so. They loved Y2K
because it fit the Darby pattern, and it sold rapture books as never before.
Many frauds have been perpetrated upon the American people in the 20th
century by government. But not so with the Y2K hype which bureaucrats
played down for their own selfish reasons. All kinds of people, including
churchmen, are honest believers in the chaos to come and shared with their
friends out of good will. Some few promoted Y2K opportunistically for
personal gain and should not be allowed to forget it. Others simply went
along with those they considered to be technical authorities, and so the
mania became an epidemic. Y2K will soon slip into history as another
apocalypse that did not happen, at least not for now. Not so with its
stepfather, the much more important "end times" hoax, which will not go away.
The "last days" are here to stay because is a politically promoted notion.
It has been sold to the Celebrity Christians by powerful non-Christians who
benefit from its application. The Celebrity Christians feed end times theology
on to their followers. Who are the people behind doomsday? Ask yourself,
who benefits from it? Heads up will examine this question in
coming issues.
