The ramblings of one seeking to flee “Mystery Babylon”

Optimism Opium

with 2 comments

There is a drug that our western culture is distributing and using today which I believe to be very dangerous. It is pushed by the media, politicians and sadly, part of the church.   In the video below, Gerald Celente calls it “Optimism Opium”. I’m not sure what I would call it, but it evokes a response in the user which manifests as DENIAL.

In keeping with the nature of other opiates it is designed with a specific purpose, to reduce the pain, to have a sedative effect, even putting the user to sleep. This use of this drug and the accompanying manifestation of DENIAL, is to be found in the the occupants of Western Christendom and pertains to the present economic circumstances that she faces, but can also be found amongst the Lukewarm church, who presumes that she is rich, clothed in righteousness and discerning. The very things Christ told her that she is not.

Clearly, clearly we are at the precipice of something BIG in Christendom, the West. But we the church, for what reason I do not know, except perhaps for our drug addiction, are so often of the opinion that everything is just rosy. We seem to have partaken of this optimism opium, fallen asleep, are untroubled, at peace, even supposing peace and safety, that God will just rapture us out of here any day now. Troubling days,  for when they say peace and safety, then sudden destruction comes …and they shall not escape. 1 Thessalonians 5:3

Perhaps a good biblical example of the manifestation of using optimism opium is seen in the example of the Kingdom of the Harlot, Babylon the Great,  who indulges on the opiate of the masses and declares ” I sit as a queen, am no widow and will not see sorrow ” Rev 18:7.  Clearly the harlot had a big habit, for her DENIAL as to reality is quite profound. For the word says, in one hour her judgment came, in one hour the supposedly impenetrable kingdom will be brought to it’s knees. For in one hour she is made desolate Rev 18:19.

The word of God tells us that the occupants of this Harlot kingdom are in DENIAL. They are delusional, having partaken of the drug induced comatose opiate that is being fed to the masses by the media and it’s deluded politicians. And now they suppose themselves to be something they are not, secure, strong, untroubled, safe, protected, invulnerable, impregnable, they are altogether in DENIAL, BIG time.

When I started writing this post I just wanted to make a simple point, one which is made on the video below. Don’t be fooled Christian by the messages that are coming from our media and politicians. All is not as it seems, and though they would like you to see through their eyes of optimism, it is a foolish notion, based on failed reason and a lack of any Godly wisdom. Their optimistic words are designed to create a false sense of reality, of comfort, a stupor, even blindness to the truth of these most perilous days.

Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy [fn] to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.”

Gerald Celente is not a Christian prophet, but a trend forecaster who uses current events to predict future trends. I find much of what he says to be at odds with what your politicians would prefer to tell you.

  1. Hi FTW

    Thanks for posting this video – just more confirmation of the time in which we live.

    How great it is to discover a fellow Aussie and brother in Christ shouting out ‘Prepare ye the way of the Lord’.

    There were resounding “Amens” as I read through your previous posts and have linked to you on my blogroll.

    I agree that we are indeed living in the last days and feel the urgent call to “come out and be separate”. Those clinging to the security offered by the temporal will indeed be left as a cinder with the chaff and stubble.

    For those of us with eyes to see and ears to hear, we will be looking unto Jesus, eager for His return and rightousness to reign. Keep sounding the trumpet! :D

    Blessings to you in Jesus Name.
