Have you ever seen the movie the Matrix?
If you have not, you need to. And while watching it, view it through the eyes of the nomadic Christian that represents our earthly existence. I think if the apostle Peter was here today he would make it required viewing for every Christian.
I believe this movie is the closest example mankind has ever created to show the reality of our eternal existence in relationship to this temporary home we call earth. My favorite part is when Morpheus introduces Neo to the concept of the Matrix. He tells him that the Matrix is not something someone can explain to you, it is something you must discover for yourself! Ultimately, Neo discovers that the world that he and everyone one else is living in is the façade which hides the reality of the prison that he and everyone else exists in. That, the control everyone believes they exercise over the course of their life is completely manipulated by the master that enslaves them. The concept of the Matrix is the perfect parallel to the life we live under the shadow of eternity.
This leads me to my point... I am completely convinced that we live in a time that was foretold of long ago. A time where God will soon shut down the Matrix and in an instant, all of us will discover the true reality of our existence. There is an odd feeling of something winding down or rapidly coming to a close.
Can you feel it, or is it just me? Isn’t there an impending sense of “Change” in the air? Not the sense of change our false messiah the ‘O’ man has offered us, but a change that is occurring all over the world. And even if you are only half awake, surely you can see that which Paul warned Timothy of in 2 Timothy 3:1-7 happening today in a lot of the churches that fly the banner of “Christian”.
But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these. For among them are those who enter into households and captivate weak women weighed down with sins, led on by various impulses, always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
Paul’s warning to Timothy was a warning to watch for this attitude in the church, not the world. This type of person did then, does now and always will exist in the world… but it is a new attitude which you can readily find in our churches today.
We live in a time when world leaders are feverously rushing at a frenzied pace to create a worldwide monetary unit under a centralized system of government. And the last hold out… us, you and I… the good ole’ US of A, have sold our birthright of freedom and autonomy to a false messiah who on the surface has promised to be our savior of change, when in reality he is the secret agent of change that the true leaders of this world have groomed to usher you and I… the good ole’ US of A, hog tied into their New World Order. What we are facing today predates the Ford and Carter administrations, but under their watch became very organized… and today the fruit of their efforts is coming to fruition! This monetary crisis, the fluctuating price of food and oil, this newest distraction “The Swine Flu” and so much more are all tools to distract us from the real problem we face, the stripping away of our freedom and rights as Americans. They are conditioning us to accept the shearer’s knife and to remain oblivious as his knife moves ever closer to our throat!
The link below is to a ‘You Tube’ video clip that is an hour and 53 minutes long… you can verify every claim it makes. Afterwards, like Morpheus said to Neo in the Matrix; “This is your last chance, you take the blue pill and the story ends… you wake up in the Matrix and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill and you will begin to see reality… and I will show you just how deep the rabbit hole goes!”
Watch the clip below… it truly is the “Red Pill!”

…and go rent or buy a copy of the first Matrix, and watch or re-watch it. It really will open your eyes to a new way of thinking, the same way of worldview thinking that Jesus managed to impress upon His disciples. Neo was no more or less alive after he woke up, than he was before... but what he lived for and the way he lived were radically changed after he knew the truth!

Is being American more important to you than being Christian?
In spite of all that has happened, I still think America is the best country in the world today... but I am extremely dissapointed in the direction I see us going in. I believe that we have made, and are making choices that as a country we will not recover from. But I also believe everything that is happening is by design... we are all being ushered into the 'New World Order' and when they are done we will no longer be the America we once were.
As to your question, nothing is more important to me than my relationship with Jesus.
If a new world order that molds America into a peace loving nation is created--then as a Christian I am all for that--as unlikely as it may be.
My only reservation is that as Americans and Christians we really don't have a "birthright" or are entitled to anything. I see that a major problem with our country and our church today. As Christians we follow a peaceful man who was homeless, betrayed by his boys, and murdered by the government. This entitles us to nothing but the same.
On another note, do you really think Obama is a sinister mastermind whose only goal is to bring America down?
I do enjoy reading your blog.
Thank you for reading my blog and saying kind things…
As for O’Bama. I don’t believe he thinks of himself as sinister or that he believes his intentions are sinister. What I do believe is that he is a puppet for those who intend to bring about a one world government. I also don’t believe that the individuals who are actually pulling the strings are anything more than power hungry elitists who aspire to reach the highest levels of wealth and power. But… even though these elitists believe they are individually working to achieve their own personal gain, they are knowingly or unknowingly working for the one true sinister one who coordinates their individual efforts into a concert intended to bring about the final battle with God. I also think that they (he) is very close to achieving the goal of world domination and it is only a few more baby steps to take us to the end of days… I firmly believe that we will see this in our lifetime. The evidence is overwhelming! I know it sounds fantastic… and the same thing has been said for centuries… even Paul thought this. But, we have the telescope of history that he did not have and can see the fulfillment of virtually every prophecy that will lead us up to the end… there is not a whole lot more left that God said we will see come to pass. And a one world government is certainly a bench mark for the final countdown to the rise of the antichrist and to Jesus’ return.
