This world is not ending because the merciful God of Israel is saving tens of thousands of souls every day that He delays the judgment.

A rapper’s version of John Lennon’s “Imagine” and other songs of his from the early 70’s. Though...some of what he says is correct.

The video needs subtitles. The cues help a little bit but I can’t understand what he’s saying.

Thank you.

I was impressed and I got a lot out of it. Yes, I would add some of my own points. And de-emphasize some of his, but overall it was worth viewing.

The love of money is the root of all evil. So get yourself a worthwhile degree so you’re not a burden on society.

Laz, the main point is that the world really changes—one person at a time.

And yes, we have to make a decision to change, before change can begin.

While you and others have related some of what was said to Jesus Christ, I would submit to you, that a man is not capable of true change to the heart apart from the power of the Holy Spirit.

Only then can you see things for what they truly are.

And that power only comes when you give your life over to Jesus.

Jesus said that he was the way, the truth, and the life—and that no man comes to the Father but by Him(Jesus).

Man doesn’t like to hear that—he would rather find his own way. Trouble is, he can’t, because of the sin which separates us from God.

Jesus came to provide a remedy for that sin—the sacrifice of an unblemished Lamb on the cross to pay for each of us.

When we believe that, then the barrier comes down between man and God.

The Holy Spirit comes to dwell inside of us and to teach us what is right and true, and gives us the power to do the right thing.

Otherwise, our fuel is our own efforts, and that is never enough.

In one sense, Prince Ea is correct—change starts with you.

But true peace, strength and wisdom comes from another Prince—the Prince of Peace—Jesus.

The *love* of money is the root of all evil. Otherwise pretty good.

He omitted, “Stupid people are breeding”.

It’s a shame, really. Stupid people won’t ‘get’ the video.

Thus, it’s up to ‘not-stupid’ people to do something...

...and we’re right back where we started: The human race...the first species on earth to bypass natural selection. It will be our undoing.

It’s happening...

“Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded- here and there, now and then- are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty. This is known as ‘bad luck.’”

— Robert A. Heinlein
