Celebrity Sacrifices to Satan for Fame and Fortune
It's been over a year since I've posted anything, I've been busy in church spending time with the One True God, Creator, Father, Son, Holy Spirit, trying to get out and enjoy life that Jesus Christ gives. But I had to stop and put this out there, and will post some more, as we I go to play catch up. While the video is all purely speculation and non-biblical, I do ask that you continue to pray not only for these celebrities, but for the minds that they reach. God is alive is all of us and we need to let that light shine brighter than the celebrities fake stars do on tv. Here's an interesting theory that I wanted to revisit about Celebrities sacrificing their children or loved ones for fame and fortune. Remember, Satan can make broken promises on earth, but only Christ can keep get you into the true Heaven with the true Father, God. Here we go, check it out.

BLOOD MOON DEBATE
Are ‘Blood Moons’ a Biblical Sign
Are specific celestial events, including Tuesday’s “blood moon,” really evidence that the end times are upon us or that, at the least, something profound is on the horizon concerning Israel?
It’s the latter claim that’s being made by Texas pastor John Hagee, whose 2013 book, “Four Blood Moons: Something Is About to Change,” detailed the supposedly prophetic signs Hagee believes God is sending mankind.
Hagee contends that these messages are coming through tetrads — rare series of four total lunar eclipses that occur over two-year periods. These “blood moons,” named for the reddish color that results when the Earth comes between the sun and moon, are tied to major events involving Israel, he says.
“It is rare that scripture, science and history align with each other, yet the last three series of four blood moons have done exactly that,” reads a description of Hagee’s latest book. ”Just as in biblical times, God is controlling the sun, the moon and the stars to send our generation a signal that something big is about to happen.”
In an interview with TheBlaze last year, Hagee said the premise of his theory is “confirmed by NASA” data. He argued that a series of four blood moons have appeared on Passover and Sukkot, also known as Feast of Tabernacles (Passover celebrates the Jews’ liberation from Egyptian slavery and Sukkot commemorates the Jews’ 40-year wandering in the desert).
And each time, he said, something significant has happened concerning the Jewish people.
“This has happened only three times in over 500 years, so it’s a very rare thing,” Hagee said, adding that the dates during which the tetrads fell always began with “tears” and ended in “triumph.”
While there have certainly been other sets of four blood moons, only eight times in the past 2,000 years have all four in a series fallen on the two Jewish holidays consecutively.
The Historical ‘Blood Moons’ Narrative
In 1492, King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella “issued an edict of expulsion” kicking the Jews out of Spain, Hagee told TheBlaze. This happened during the Spanish Inquisition, which began in 1478 in an effort to rid the region of Jews and Muslims.
According to NASA data, there was a tetrad from 1493 to 1494 (there were three preceding tetrads that century as well, but they did not fall on Jewish holidays).

And that’s not the only series of blood moons Hagee links to Israel, as NASA data shows that yet another tetrad unfolded between 1949 and 1950, a key time for Israel’s modern-day manifestation.“In 1948, that’s the year Israel became a state,” he explained. “The thing that happened prior to that was the tragedy of the Holocaust, which ended in the rejoicing of statehood.”
Another tetrad happened between 1967 and 1968, a period which saw the Six-Day War — a moment of “triumph” when Jerusalem was reunified and became “the eternal capital of the Jewish people once again,” Hagee said.
NASA data also shows that four blood moons emerged between the years 1909-1910, 1927-1928 and 1985-1986, but these also did not fall on the Jewish holidays.
The Current Tetrad
NASA says the current tetrad of blood moons that started early Tuesday morning will last until Sept. 28, 2015. The last tetrad to occur happened between 2003 and 2004, though it did not fall on Jewish holidays.
Hagee said that there would “not be anymore four blood moons in the future” that fall on these holidays, so he says the current tetrad could indicate the start of some major, earth-shattering events.
NASA data does appear to show six others will happen this century, but none appear to have all four blood moons fall on both Passover and Sukkot as they do in 2014 and 2015.
“When you think about the precision that God has to perform in getting the sun, the moon and the Earth in perfect alignment and to produce that exactness on passover and Feast of Tabernacles … the random probability of that just runs off the charts,” Hagee told TheBlaze.

“I think the thing that people will take away from this is that it
means, based on past history, that something is about to change in the
Middle East concerning Israel that will affect the nations of world and
everyone on planet Earth,” he said. “No one knows for sure what it will
be, but based on the pattern of the past it will involve Israel. It will
begin with tears and end in triumph and change the course of history
forever.”Is There a Scriptural Basis for the Theory?
Hagee took TheBlaze through biblical scripture that he said shows that God has traditionally communicated with mankind through celestial means and that “God is sending planet Earth signals from the heavens.”
He cited Joel 2:20-21 in the Old Testament and Acts 2:19-20 and Luke 21:25-28 in the New Testament; Revelation 6:12 also references a red moon, though Hagee didn’t mention this verse to TheBlaze.
The verses he did mention read as follows (the verses from Acts are not presented below, as they generally reference the words of Joel, though they can be read here):
Joel 2:20-21: “I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and billows of smoke.The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.”Critics Speak Out
Luke 21:25-28: “There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. People will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken. At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”
Not everyone accepts Hagee’s theoretical paradigm.
Christian expert Hank Hanegraaff, the “Bible Answer Man” who is no stranger to speaking out against certain end-times prophecies, is among the many critics of Hagee’s end-times philosophy.
He called the theory of the four blood moons “appalling” and “deplorable,” flatly dismissing it in a recent interview with TheBlaze.
“What these purveyors of blood moon theology [are doing] is taking the natural use of the stars, which God ordains, and perverting it with superstitiousness which God disdains,” Hanegraaff said. “The heavenly bodies are used for separating the night from the day … [for] marking seasons, from giving light on the Earth and so forth.”

Hanegraaff examined the verses Hagee cited, noting that while Peter
references Joel 2:20-21 in the verses invoked in Acts 2:19-20, there’s
no evidence that these scriptures are to be taken as future predictions
in the modern era.“Peter talks about the ultimate day of judgement … it pertains to the coming of the Lord … coming in judgement on Jerusalem and ultimately it pertains to a second coming as well, but there’s no word whatsoever for taking the language of Joel and suggesting that somehow or other you can read from that language what is going to happen in the modern epic,” Hanegraaff said.
He also noted that the Spanish Inquisition began 15 years before the 1493 tetrad, though it is true that it wasn’t until 1492 that the Jews were expelled from the region.
Hanegraaff also pointed to some one-year differences as gaps in time that didn’t make the tetrads reliable in terms of connecting them to biblical prophecy. Consider, for instance, that Israel was founded in May 1948, but the tetrad didn’t start until 1949.

Hanegraaff added: “Lunar exclipses are associated with Jewish events
anyway. There should be no real surprise that you find these kinds of
events happening.”Kenneth L. Waters, associate dean and a New Testament professor at California’s Azusa Pacific University, agreed that it’s not entirely surprising that these dates would fall on Passover and Sukkot.
“[T]here is nothing particularly extraordinary about these holy days coinciding with a full moon,” he wrote in a CNN op-ed. “Jewish holy days are based upon a lunar calendar. Passover is always celebrated the first full moon after the vernal equinox and the Feast of Tabernacles is always the first full moon after the autumnal equinox.”
Ken Ham’s Answers in Genesis provided an overview of how the calendar works, agreeing that there’s nothing astounding about the dates lining up with Jewish holidays.
The group even provided tables to show that it’s not unique that eclipses sometimes fall on Jewish holidays, considering the Jewish calendar follows the moon (still, some will contend that it’s curious to see that this set of four consecutive blood moons has only unfolded on holidays eight times and is purportedly not set to happen again after the 2014-2015 tetrad).
Waters also made the point that the blood moons theory essentially sets a timetable, quoting Jesus in Matthew 24:26 saying of the end times: “However, no one knows the day or hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son himself. Only the Father knows.”

“There also is a question of from what portion of the earth one ought to view these eclipses for them to constitute a sign,” he wrote. “One might think that Jerusalem would be a key site, but the first three total lunar eclipses in 2014–2015 won’t be visible from there, and only the beginning of the final eclipse will be. One must ask whether a sign that few people notice is much of a sign.”

ILLUSION VS TRUTH
The 6 Grand Illusions That Keep Us Enslaved to the Matrix
“In prison, illusions can offer comfort.” – Nelson Mandela
For a magician to fool his audience his
deceit must go unseen, and to this end he crafts an illusion to
avert attention from reality. While the audience is entranced, the
deceptive act is committed, and for the fool, reality then becomes
inexplicably built upon on a lie. That is, until the fool wakes up and
recognizes the truth in the fact that he has been duped.
Maintaining the suspension of disbelief in
the illusion, however, is often more comforting than acknowledging the
magician’s secrets.
We live in a world of illusion. So many of
the concerns that occupy the mind and the tasks that fill the calendar
arise from planted impulses to become someone or something that we are not.
This is no accident. As we are indoctrinated into this
authoritarian-corporate-consumer culture that now dominates the human
race, we are trained that certain aspects of our society are untouchable
truths, and that particular ways of being and behaving are preferred.
Psychopaths disempower
people in this way. They blind us with never ceasing barrages of
suggestions and absolutes that are aimed at shattering self-confidence
and confidence in the future.
Bansky, the revered and elusive revolutionary street artist, once commented:
“People are taking the piss out of you everyday. They butt into your life, take a cheap shot at you and then disappear. They leer at you from tall buildings and make you feel small.They make flippant comments from buses that imply you’re not sexy enough and that all the fun is happening somewhere else. They are on TV making your girlfriend feel inadequate.They have access to the most sophisticated technology the world has ever seen and they bully you with it. They are The Advertisers and they are laughing at you.” – BanksyAdvertisements
Advertising is just the tip of the iceberg.
When we look further we see that the overall organization of life is
centered around the pursuit of illusions and automatic obedience to
institutions and ideas which are not at all what they seem. We are in a
very real sense enslaved. Many call this somewhat intangible feeling of
oppression ‘the matrix,’ a system of total control that invades the
mind, programming individuals to pattern themselves in accordance with a
mainstream conformist version of reality, no matter how wicked it gets.
The grandest of the illusions which keep us
enslaved to the matrix, the ones that have so many of us still
entranced, are outlined below for your consideration.
1. The Illusion of Law, Order and Authority
For so many of us, following the law is
considered a moral obligation, and many of us gladly do so even though
corruption, scandal, and wickedness repeatedly demonstrate that the law
is plenty flexible for those who have the muscle to bend it. Police
brutality and police criminality is rampant in the US, the courts favor
the wealthy, and we can longer even lead our lives privately thanks to
the intrusion of state surveillance. And all the while the illegal and
immoral Orwellian permanent war rages on in the background of life,
murdering and destroying whole nations and cultures.
The social order is not what it seems, for it
is entirely predicated on conformity, obedience and acquiescence which
are enforced by fear of violence. History teaches us again and again
that the law is just as often as not used as an instrument of
oppression, social control and plunder, and any so-called authority in
this regard is false, hypocritical, and unjust.
When the law itself does not follow the law,
there is no law, there is no order, and there is no justice. The pomp
and trappings of authority are merely a concealment of the truth that
the current world order is predicated on control, not consent.
2. The Illusion of Prosperity and Happiness
Adorning oneself in expensive clothes and
trinkets, and amassing collections of material possessions that would be
the envy of any 19th century monarch has become a substitute for
genuine prosperity. Maintaining the illusion of prosperity, though, is
critical to our economy as it is, because its foundation is built on
consumption, fraud, credit and debt.
The banking system itself has been engineered from the top down to
create unlimited wealth for some while taxing the eternity out of the
rest of us.
True prosperity is a vibrant environment and
an abundance of health, happiness, love, and relationships. As more
people come to perceive material goods as the form of self-identification in this culture, we slip farther and farther away from the experience of true prosperity.
3. The Illusion of Choice and Freedom
Read between the lines and look at the fine
print, we are not free, not by any intelligent standard. Freedom is
about having choice, yet in today’s world, choice has come to
mean a selection between available options, always from within the
confines of a corrupt legal and taxation system and within the
boundaries of culturally accepted and enforced norms.
Just look no further than the phony
institution of modern democracy to find a shining example of false
choices appearing real. Two entrenched, corrupt, archaic political
parties are paraded as the pride and hope of the nation, yet third party
and independent voices are intentionally blocked, ridiculed and plowed
under.
The illusion of choice and freedom is a
powerful oppressor because it fools us into accepting chains and short
leashes as though they were the hallmarks of liberty.
Multiple choice is different than freedom, it is easy servitude.
4. The Illusion of Truth
Truth has become a touchy subject in our culture, and we’ve been programmed to believe that ‘the‘
truth comes from the demigods of media, celebrity, and government. If
the TV declares something to be true, then we are heretics to believe
otherwise.
In order to maintain order, the powers that
be depend our acquiescence to their version of the truth. While
independent thinkers and journalists continually blow holes in the
official versions of reality, the illusion of truth is so very
powerful that it takes a serious personal upheaval to shun the cognitive
dissonance needed to function in a society that openly chases false
realities.
5. The Illusion of Time
They say that time is money, but this is a
lie. Time is your life. Your life is an ever-evolving manifestation of
the now. Looking beyond the five sense world, where we have been trained
to move in accordance with the clock and the calendar, we find that the
spirit is eternal, and that the each individual soul is part of this
eternity.
The big deception here is the reinforcement
of the idea that the present moment is of little to no value, that the
past is something we cannot undo or ever forget, and that the future is
intrinsically more important than both the past and the present. This
carries our attention away from what it actually happening right now and
directs it toward the future. Once completely focused on what is to
come rather than what is, we are easy prey to advertisers and fear-pimps
who muddy our vision of the future with every possible worry and
concern imaginable.
We are happiest when life doesn’t box us in,
when spontaneity and randomness gives us the chance to find out more
about ourselves. Forfeiting the present moment in order to fantasize
about the future is a trap. The immense, timeless moments of spiritual
joy that are found in quiet meditation are proof that time is a
construct of the mind of humankind, and not necessarily mandatory for
the human experience.
If time is money, then life can be measured
in dollars. When dollars are worth less, so is life. This is
total deception, because life is, in truth, absolutely priceless.
6. The Illusion of Separateness
On a strategic level, the tactic of divide
and conquer is standard operating procedure for authoritarians and
invading armies, but the illusion of separateness runs even deeper than
this.
We are programmed to believe that as
individuals we are in competition with everyone and everything around
us, including our neighbors and even mother nature.
Us vs. them to the extreme. This flatly denies the truth that life on
this planet is infinitely inter-connected. Without clean air, clean
water, healthy soil, and a vibrant global sense of community we cannot
survive here.
While the illusion of separateness comforts
us by gratifying the ego and and offering a sense of control, in reality
it only serves to enslave and isolate us.
Conclusion
The grand illusions mentioned here have been
staged before us as a campaign to encourage blind acquiescence to the
machinations of the matrix. In an attempt to dis-empower us, they demand
our conformity and obedience, but we must not forget that all of this
is merely an elaborate sales pitch. They can’t sell what we don’t care
to buy.
