Book of Revelations...4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse!

This evening I thought my thoughts - as I listened to my favorite piece of classical music - Handel's Messiah.

At one point, I recalled that just before I embarked on my journey to San Francisco, I did something I rarely ever do.

I took the paper money out of my wallet (a fine mess of presidential faces turned this way 'n that) and counted it.

I froze on the spot.

The total?

$666.00

"Oh, gosh," there must be some meaning in that, I thought to myself.

Barely a day passes without some sign or omen descending from the heavens.

Of course, my immediate focus turned to the beast, the anti-christ.

But, what did it mean?

Unfortunately, the answer - not even a hint of one - remained elusive that day.

Tonight, as I sat in the dark listening to the uplifting strains of Handel's composition, it suddenly hit me like a bolt of lightning.

The message of the 666 omen (by virtue of the cash in my billfold) was crystal clear.

Money is the root of all evil.

A remarkable notion swept over me.

If only we could pool the resources of the world - spread the wealth - feed, clothe and house the needy!

The hour is upon us.

The prophecies of the Book of Revelations are unfolding.

And, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, are riding in the distance just off the horizon.

The signs are all around us.

But, it's so obvious, we are blinded by the light of reality.

Consider the following translation @ Daniel 9:27 in the Holy Bible.

"The Antichrist (the beast) will come into power and sign a covenant (with Israel, some say) for seven years."

This seven-year period of time is known as the “tribulation.”

"During the tribulation, there will be terrible wars, famines, plagues, and natural disasters."

God will pour out His wrath against sin, evil, and wickedness.

The tribulation includes the appearance of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and 7 trumpets sounding as 7 seals are cracked open.

The first horseman of the Apocalypse is mentioned in Revelation 6:2:

“I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest.”

This first horseman refers to the Antichrist who will be given authority and will conquer all who oppose him.

The antichrist is the false imitator of the true Christ who will also return on a white horse (Revelation 19:11-16).

The second horseman of the Apocalypse appears in Revelation 6:4:

“Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make men slay each other. To him was given a large sword.”

The second horseman refers to terrible warfare that will break out in the end times.

The third horseman is described in Revelation 6:5-6:

“And there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand."

Then he heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures saying:

"A quart of wheat for a day's wages and three quarts of barley for a day's wages and do not damage the oil and the wine!’”

The third horseman of the Apocalypse refers to a great famine that will take place.

The fourth horseman is mentioned in Revelation 6:8:

“I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.”

The fourth horseman of the Apocalypse is symbolic of death and devastation.

The four horsemen are “precursors” of worse judgments that come later in the tribulation. (Revelation chapters 8–9 & 16).

I pray for peace, perfect peace!

Beyond the Veil...

Beyond the veil of this mortal coil

the joyous mysteries of eternity unfold

Though Life doth wither

at Death's door

The soul take flight

on gossamer wing
&
soars!

Character...quote!

The character of a man is not determined

by the manner in which he carries himself

or presents a mask to the world

But, rather -

by kind word, unselfish deeds

a compassionate heart

Mystic...fortune-teller's forecast right on! Fog is lifted...

Spirit healing!

(laying on of hands)

Mystical symbolism on U.S. Dollar

(Influence of Masons)

One day I was window-shopping on the 3rd Street promenade when I noticed a mystic offering up psychic forecasts to passers-by.

He was easy to spot; after all, his broad smile, wide shoulders, magnetic personality jumped right out among the multitudes drifting down the open-air marketplace.

Right away I knew he was authentic.

How?

Instead of propping up a make-shift sign with a fee etched on its face, he was inclined to accept donations only.

For those of you familiar with past posts, you probably remember the one I penned about my own psychic abilities and my involvement in the arcane arts many few moons ago!

Prophecy
A Gift from God

Post: 10/29/10

http://ijulian.blogspot.com/2007/10/prophecya-gift-from-god.html

Because of my background in this area, I was able to discern from his approach - and the reading in general - that he knew his stuff (so-to-speak).

Of course, if you have ever had a reading, you know that sometimes a prediction can seem a little bizarre or beyond the realm of comprehension on the occasion it is uttered up.

But, remember, anything (and everything) is possible under the sun!

True to form, a couple of predictions threw me for a loop that day, although I was capable of holding judging in view of my own personal and professional experiences over the years.

For instance, when he noted there would be quite a few cowboys around me in the near future, I smiled.

There haven't been any men - of any stripe or persuasion - in the picture for months!

Frankly, I haven't been in the mood (or right state of mind) to entertain any romantic notions.

But, sure enough, two days later when I drove into Las Vegas, I suddenly found myself smack dab in the midst of a posse of Cowboys because (unbeknowst to moi beforehand) the Rodeo had gallopped into town.

Subsequently, I ended up penning a post about that event, bolstered up with images of virile cattle men.

Surprisingly, about the same time, the Gene Autry Museum invited me to a special discussion on two celebrated western-style shirts (featured in Brokeback Mountain) on exhibit there.

So, of course, I penned an article on that landmark event.

I laughed when he noted I was in a creative field of work and that I affected quite a few lives as a result.

Indeed - a good or bad review of a film, tv show, or red carpet event - has the capacity to do just that!

When he drifted on to planetary aspects, he was quite knowledgeable about the influence of the midheavens, too.

He pointed out that Pluto was in my chart quite prominently over the past couple of years (a negative influence) which caused some difficulties in my life.

Of course, I knew this cosmic pull to be true, because years ago I had an in-depth horoscope prepared which indicated that Pluto factored into my destiny from time to time.

However, he noted that the probematic vibration was coming to an end, as the 9th planet moved out of my chart.

True!

I confess that over the past year or so my health has been the worst it's ever been in my entire life.

Over the past few months, for instance, I have been hustled in and out of the hospital about a dozen times or so, in fact.

During that time frame, there were a dizzying number of tests and physical exams to undergo.

And, a raft of medicines and painkillers to quell the pain and discomfort, too.

Regular readers may recall posts in which I got the dates mixed up (some of that was attributed to computer glitches, I swear), misspelled names, or wasn't as coherent in my reporting as I normally tended to be (for good reason, if the truth be known).

Yes, sometimes it was the painkillers (and/or prescription drugs) that were responsible for the fog that enveloped (and hindered) me.

On occasion, I'd return to my car, totally exhausted on the heels of performing a few chores.

Before I could turn the key in the ignition - on occasion, I simply passed out - overwhelmed with drowsiness and incapable of prying my eyes wide open to get through the tail end of the day.

Consequently, the uncontrollable struggles, may have caused a tongue or two to wag after passers-by happened across me in the neighborhood asleep at the wheel.

Uh-huh!

The locals probably thought I was a bit tipsy or high on drugs, eh?

Of course, then there was the issue of my sleeping disorder diagnosed this past year.

Rather than fall asleep at the wheel (like I did one day on Highway 15 on a trip back from Las Vegas) I oftentimes elected to just curl up in the back seat of my vehicle until the exhaustion passes over (and I could - at long last - drive home safely).

I tried the "stimulants" my doctor prescribed as an alternative, but was forced to stop, when I found myself stuttering, grinding my teeth, and staring blankly into space whenever I stopped into a cafe for a tea or coffee.

The heck with that!

But, then, in January - as predicted - Pluto started to shift.

Suddenly, in San francisco one day, I felt like I was coming out of a fog and able to function at full steam once again.

In retrospect, I am thankful I had my blog to focus on, because it was all that kept me going in a very dark period during the past twelve months or so.

Now, thank God, I am starting to make plans and set goals and get enthusiastic about life again.

In a sense, I feel reborn, for some inexplicable reason.

Amen!

All Saints' Church...announces new Rector at Beverly Hills house of prayer!

Who knows!

(I may be featured in this choir photo)

The Vestry has announced that the Reverend Canon Stephen Huber (National Cathedral in Washington) has accepted the unanimous call to be the 7th Rector of All Saints' Church in Beverly Hills.

A couple of years ago, I was fortunate to realize a dream to sing in a choir, when I attended service at All Saints'.

During that time frame, Carol Anderson was in service to the Episcopal Church in the role that Huber has stepped into.

The Reverend grew up in a large Catholic family in Ohio and attended Catholic schools from first grade all the way through graduate school at Loyola University in New Orleans.

The dedicated Church-goer spent ten years teaching theology and working in development at private schools before transitioning into inspiring full-time development work as an A.I.D.S. fundraiser for such organizations as the Fenway Community Health Center (Boston) and the Human Rights Campaign Fund in Washington (D.C.).

Huber attended seminary at Yale University and obtained his Master of Divinity (!) in 1998.

For a short duration Steve filled the role of Development & Communications Director at Yale's Berkley Divinity School.

There were many other career developments under the auspices of the fold in the years that followed.

But, it was a post at the Washington National Cathedral (to build a Cathedral Congregation) that was probably the most challenging and rewarding for the Priest.

Using his impressive leadership skills, Huber proceeded to focus on education, pastoral care, stewardship, communications, and hospitality ministries for the congregation which now numbers 700.

Church officials describe Huber as a "spirit-filled" preacher and loving pastor with an open heart and wonderful manner who is ready to lead All Saints' Church in the work of the Kingdom of God.

In an essay he wrote in respect to his calling, Rev. Huber eloquently wrote:

"I understand my primary vocation as inviting people into a new or deepened relationship with Jesus Christ."

"All Saints' Church is a model to the whole Church of an intellectually coherent expansive Christian faith that is unabashedly grounded in discipleship of Jesus Christ. I find that enormously exciting."

In accepting the post he closed an open letter to the parish by quoting mystic Meister Eckhart:

"If the only prayer you say in your whole life is thank you, that would suffice."

Amen!

Judge not...quote!

Any man that jumps to conclusions
without checking the facts first
Or, passes judgment
before hearing both sides of the tawdry tale
is not worthy of befriending
or giving the time of day
And, deserves a thousand lashes
with a limp noodle
