The Prophecy of John of Jerusalem VII
Hey again bloggers, or whoever could be reading this blog. And it's been a blogger while since I posted one of those Temple Mount of Jerusalem that also wants to be the Dome of the Rock photos as in that photo above. And being that all eyes are on Egypt, Israel, Jerusalem, the middle east, and even Jesus himself these headline news days and web 2.0, social media, user generated content times, those religious thoughts come to mind. And so I thought to continue to post another excerpt from "The Prophecy of John of Jerusalem" on this blog in an attempt to maintain content for this blog and my other blog whenever possible.
The birth pains increase and the blind multiply.
For the blind cannot see, no matter if Jesus stands right in front of them.
Surely Lord, is there even more to save?
When they only scoff and mock and are filled with evil thoughts?
Surely Lord, you know the hearts of men.
Is there left any man still that can be called to you Lord?
In Jesus Christ.
A Thousand Years
The Prophecy of John of Jerusalem
When the Year Thousand that comes after Year Thousand begins
Men will know how to make mirages live
The senses will be deceived and they will believe they are touching that which is not
They will follow paths which are seen only by the eyes
And in this way dreams will be able to come alive.
But man will no longer know how to separate
That which is from that which is not
He will be lost inside false labyrinths
Those who will know how to make the mirages live
Will take advantage of the naive man by deceiving him
And a lot of men will become grovelling dogs.
When the Year Thousand that comes after Year Thousand begins
The animals which Noah had embarked on his Ark
Will be no more in Man’s hands
Than beasts transformed according to his will
And who will worry about their lifetime of suffering?
Man will have made each species into what he wanted
And he will have destroyed numerous ones
What will the man have become who will have changed the laws of life
Who will have made the living animal a piece of clay
Will he be the equal of God or the child of the Devil?
When the Year Thousand that comes after Year Thousand begins
You must be afraid for the child of man
Poison and despair will lie in wait for him
He will be desired only selfishly and not for his own sake or for the world
He will be tracked down for sexual pleasure and sometimes his body will be sold.
But even the one being protected by his family
Will be in danger of having a dead mind
He will live inside games and mirages
Which will guide him because there will be no more educators
No-one will have taught him to hope and how to act.
When the Year Thousand that comes after Year Thousand begins
Man will think that he is God when he will be nothing more than a baby
He will hit out, always overcome by anger and jealousy,
But he will be armed with the power that he has taken
And blind Prometheus he will be able to destroy everything around him.
He will remain a dwarf of the soul and he will have the strength of a giant
He will take enormous strides forward but he will not know which road to take
His head will be heavy with knowledge
But he will not know why he lives and dies
He will be like the fire always gesticulating or the child who whimpers.
When the Year Thousand that comes after Year Thousand begins
Whole regions will be prey to war
Beyond the Roman limes and even on the former territory of the Empire, men of same cities will cut each others throats
Here it will be war between tribes and there between religious believers.
The Jews and the children of Allah will unendingly oppose each other
And the land of Christ will be their battlefield
But the infidels will want to defend the purety of their faith everywhere
And opposite them will be only doubt and power
Then death will advance everywhere like the flag of the new times
When the Year Thousand that comes after Year Thousand begins
A multitude of men will be excluded from human life
They will have neither rights, nor roof, nor bread,
They will be naked and will have only their bodies to sell
They will be pushed far away from the opulent towers of Babel.
They will swarm like a remorse and a menace
They will occupy entire regions and will proliferate
They will listen to the preachings of vengeance
And they will launch an attack on the proud towers
The time of barbaric invasions will have come

New Career for Me
First long as I could remember, I had wanted to go into real estate so when I graduated from college, I immediately started classes to get my license. I am now a broker, well, with a provisional license, but I am working my way up to becoming a full-fledged agent. I recently got CLEAR INTERNETso I could use my laptop all the time, and it's nice because it works at home as well as in the office and even in my car when I'm out at a listing or an open h! ouse. I hated relying on the owner's Internet connection to work for my computer. Obviously, business is slow right now, but I really just getting my feet wet in learning the ropes in this industry. I think I have a long and prosperous career ahead of me, and I'm laying the groundwork now for a network of clients that will serve me well in the future. I'm going to be the best agent in town, just you watch me!

May 21, 2011?
Wow! And now that Blogger will let me blog again..... I am able to blagh. So what's up with this end of the world Family Radio, May 21, 2011, Judgement Day thing that's been in the news a lot lately with titles like, "21 Reasons Why May 21 Is Not The End Of The World", "The End Of The World As He Knows It","May 21 And Other Judgement Days That have Come and Gone", and a bunch of other news article titles that are to be found in internetland on this subject. Is the world really ending May 21? Is Jesus returning to planet earth soon, real soon? Do we have to wait until May 22nd to see? Is this another one of those Y2k things? Is this some sort of publicity stunt? And what about December 21st, 2012? Was the Mayan calendar wrong? An no further comment on this commentary, except for this NY Daily News article below that I came across during my internet travels. And even though the names may have changed, the story stays the same, I think.
World will end on May 21 says an ex-MTA who's putting money where mouth is
Someone is so convinced the end is near he's betting his life savings on it.
The retired MTA employee has pumped $140,000 into a NYC Transit ad campaign to warn everyone the world will end next Saturday.
"Global Earthquake! The Greatest Ever - Judgment Day: May 21," the ad declares above a placid picture of night over Jerusalem with a clock that's about to strike midnight.
"I'm trying to warn people about what's coming," the 60-year-old Staten Island resident said. "People who have an understanding [of end times] have an obligation to warn everyone."
His doomsday warning has appeared on 1,000 placards on subway cars, at a cost of $90,000, and at bus shelters around the city, for $50,000 more.
Fitzpatrick's millenial mania began after he retired in 2006 and began listening to California evangelist Harold Camping's "end of days" predictions.
Using head-spinning numerological calculations, Camping has determined that the world will end on Saturday, May 21. He's used similar biblical math to pinpoint when Abraham was circumcised (2068 B.C.) and when earth was created (11,083 B.C.).
Camping has predicted the end of world once before - on Sept. 6, 1994. When the sun rose on Sept. 7, Camping admitted he might have had that one wrong.
Still, Fitzpatrick remains convinced the beginning of the end is coming next week.
"It'll start just before midnight, Jerusalem time: It'll be instantaneous and global," he said. "There are too many scriptures talking about 'sudden destruction.'"
While Jesus Christ returns to Earth and all non-believers burn in eternal hellfire, Fitzpatrick says he and all those in the know will be saved in the rapture.
Similarly convinced followers around the city have taken it upon themselves to spread Camping's doomsday prediction to anyone who will listen.
"We're just heeding the warning God gives in Ezekiel 33 that God has appointed true believers as watchmen," said someone of Harrison, N.J., as he handed out literature with fellow believers in Union Square this week.
Most dismissed the warning as the ranting of lunatics.
"I'm curious to see what they're going to say in a week when nothing happens," said someone else, of Prospect Heights, rolling her eyes as she passed the group in Union Square.
Camping's group bought billboards in other parts of the country around Christmas time, but Fitzgerald is financing the New York ad campaign on his own, saying he wants to take as many people with him as he can.
The MTA says they have no problem with it.
"It's an individual's prerogative to spend their money as they see fit," said MTA spokesman a spokesperson for MTA.
Anti-religion groups say the MTA should never have allowed the ad blitz.
"Doomsday cults are money-making enterprises," said someone, of the American Atheists group, which ran counter-ads to Camping's earlier billboard campaign.
"I wonder what is going to happen on May 22 when people no longer have their possessions or their savings and we are all still here and they don't have their rapture," he said.
this person said there's no chance that will happen and he has had no doubt about plunking down his retirement.
"It is the date," he insisted.
Not that he's been able to convince everyone.
"My sister doesn't believe it," he admitted. "I've tried to tell her. But that's pretty much the story with most people."

Another Ode To Blogging
And even when it seems as if the world is falling down all around me, I still find myself blah blogging for some reason. And if you happen to be one of those attempt to get rich internet quick blogaholics as I have found myself in times past, it seems as if that latest Google page rank update the other day wants to send me in search of a fourth full time job. And so I thought to post that "Ode to Blogging" again that I came across somewhere in internetland during my internet time and have found myself posting on this blog every so often:
An Ode To Blogging(sung to the tune of "Mercedes Benz" by Janis Joplin)
Oh Google, won't you give me a PageRank quickly?
My friends all have Adsense, but you banned me.
Blogged hard all my lifetime, trying to make money,
So Google, won't you give me a PageRank quickly?
Oh Shoemoney , won't give my blog a big plug?
I post every day, but never get Dugg.
I like how you're bald, but don't wear a rug,
So oh Shoemoney, won't you give my blog a big plug?
Oh AGLOCO , won't you give up your little green scam?
Your members flood my inbox with lots of spam.
You know that I'm not your biggest fan,
Oh AGLOCO, won't you give up your little green scam?
Bloggers!
Oh Google, won't you give me a PageRank quickly?
My friends all have Adsense, but you banned me.
Blogged hard all my lifetime, trying to make money,
So Google, won't you give me a PageRank quickly?
Have a great blogging day.
