While the mystics proclaim: “This an Issachar time to understand what is being allowed to happen ‘on the same day’ by those who are known. This timing has to be more than coincidental,” I’d be more inclined to join the writer of Ecclesiastes and state that “death happens.”

Another “prophet” states of these icons: ”They have a message. They are a voice for those who have no voice. Sometimes their message is absolutely polluted, but that doesn’t mean their gift is not from God.”

He goes on to state “We are supposed to respect and honor those who have leadership and influence in society, even if we cannot honor their message or methods.”

I really don’t think that is anywhere near biblically correct*, and I, for one, am not enamored by the celebrities of the world and its ways.

I did find the elijahlist article entitled “falling stars” ironic in a Isaiah 14:12 sort of way. I suppose that was not intended.

Maybe it is a call to Bible literacy within the church?

*As to the “voice for the voiceless,” Jesus is our advocate(1 John 2:1); concerning “honor,” we honor those who rule over us - in the church (Hebrews 13) and in government (Romans 13). There is no such provision for entertainers (“those who have influence”).

Possible significance of celebrities death:

THE IDOLS ARE FALLING, OUR LORD WILL BE KNOWN IN ALL NATIONS, HIS HOUSE (Church, Congregation) WILL BE CLEANED, HIS KINGDOM WILL REACH THE UNREACHED, like Jesus taught us to pray: “THE NAME OF THE FATHER WILL BE HALLOWED”

I , for one really hope that the gov. and his wife overcome and stay together. The world thinks anything is a grounds for divorce but the church should believe in forgiveness but if they do not make it dont look for another spouse , well thats the book ( believe it or not) , that book being the holy bible.

I heard a lot of comments and if anything, they made you think. The more you hear the more we should be encouraged to read the word and pray, please everyone study and ask God for understanding. I heard one caller say that Jesus was not God to all those who believe that let me tell you the truth . Jesus was just as much man as man as just as much God as God . He was the son of God because he had no earthly father, God was his only father , and the son of man because a woman gave birth to him. As far as the homosexual demon , I do believe a demon does present that lifestyle to people but the individual must embrace it or allow themselves to surcome to the demonic influence.

Jesse,

God willing, at least 1,000 Christians will be surrounding the gay pride event in Charlotte on July 25th with worship, prayer, and the reading of the Word, proclaiming the message that “God Has a Better Way.” I have no idea what you’re speaking about concerning God giving a sign, and none of us have said any such thing.
