    The Day the Earth Stood Still


    The Day the Earth Stood Still

    The Day the Earth Stood Still | The Stream

    Isn't it amazing how so much of our world has changed so dramatically, almost overnight? How the new normal has suddenly replaced the old normal? How everything is in a state of flux? All this makes us realize how some predicted scenarios that seemed outlandish yesterday don't seem that farfetched today.

    As a kid, I remember watching the sci-fi classic The Day the Earth Stood Still. As described on Wikipedia, "The film's storyline involves a humanoid alien visitor named Klaatu that comes to Earth, accompanied by a powerful eight-foot tall robot, Gort, to deliver an important message that will affect the entire human race."

    Yes, those were the names, and this was the plot. Yet, "In 1995, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry as 'culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.'" (As I understand it, the 2008 remake did not have the appeal of the original.)

    Klaatu has an interplanetary message for earth, which has developed weapons of mass destruction: "Your choice is simple: join us and live in peace, or pursue your present course and face obliteration. We shall be waiting for your answer."

    And to underscore this message, the aliens freeze life on planet earth for a day.

    Everything comes to a standstill.

    Living in Unprecedented Times

    Obviously, we are not at that point today. (I don't mean with aliens like Klaatu and Gort; I mean with a total standstill.) But there is no denying that we are living in unprecedented times, with leaders in America and Israel discouraging gatherings of more than 10 people, and almost everything else is on hold.

    Pastor and evangelist Rodney Howard-Browne had this to say about the crisis. Whether or not you agree with his larger, conspiratorial perspective, what he writes is striking:

    I talked about what is coming, more than ten years. The people in our church are ready for this. Therefore, nothing of what is happening now is a surprise to me. Every god of America has fallen — sports have fallen, Hollywood has fallen, television shows canceled. Even the god of some mega churches fell, these churches are empty today. I have warned for years that churches will disappear in one night.

    He continues,

    I hold in my hands the Rockefeller organization document, which was published in 2010. Here is the script that we met today. What is happening now is not an accident; everything was planned. Bill Gates talked about the pandemic four years ago. The document is called 'Scenarios for Future Technology and International Development,' 53 pages. It says here that the result of this scenario will be: '20 percent of the world's population will be infected. People's mobility will be blocked, airports will be closed. Sports events will be canceled, shops closed, theaters closed, churches astounded. A pandemic will produce shortages, including disinfectants and toilet paper. If people refuse the vaccine, they will not be allowed to travel. Political assemblies will be illegal, public protests will be banned. Martial law will be introduced and the new global control system will come into effect. People around the world will be open to sharing their security rights.'

    And then this: "What is written in the book of Revelation is printed. Globalists lead us to a single government, a single monetary system and the coming of antichrist. And I believe that God raised Trump to suspend it."

    Everything Has Shifted

    Again, whether or not you accept Howard-Browne's larger concerns about the emergence of a one-world government as a result of the pandemic, it's easy to see how something like this could happen. In fact, it's far easier to imagine something like this now than it was one month ago. Everything has shifted on a dime....









    This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity (futility) of their mind, having the understanding darkened...
    (Ephesians 4:17-18)

    Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly...
    (Psalm 1)

    So...COVID-19 vaccine = mark of the beast? (asking sincerely)

    ...although, IF it was available now, it would be interesting to see if anti-vaxxers would get it.

    Mark of the beast if a voluntary thing, a mark. Or at least that's what's widely taught.

    I would not cause... the Lord Jesus paid for my healing / health.

    I wouldn't need the arm of the flesh or the wisdom of man to stay well.

    In fact, I think it's totally hilarious (if it weren't so sad) when some claim it's the Lord's will for Christians to experience sickness and then... they run down to Doctor Proctor to try and get healed using his pharmakia.

    If they think being sick make them closer to the Lord and the Lord want them to be sick every once in a while so He can "teach them something" then they should just take it and be sick so they trying to get out of what they claim is God's will.

    They can't have it both ways.
