The Fifty-year anniversary of the Woodstock Music Festival is at hand and millions are joyfully celebrating this upcoming anniversary! Events were being planned with the top pop musical artist of today for Woodstock 50 in August of 2019, but just of late this event was canceled! In light of this cancelation, promoters are now saying that Americans should reflect and remember the "spirit" of Woodstock which is "peace and love", or is it (1 John 4:1-10)? The original Woodstock Festival took place on August 16, 1969, and its spirit has been promoted, glorified, glamorized, sensationalized and etched into the very fabric of our American pop culture, politics, consciousness and youth culture for the last fifty years. There is none more powerful a vessel to be used by Satan than the "sex, drugs, and rock n roll" spirit to appeal to man's fallen and base nature; and to get them to become base, lawless, subjective and violent (Rom. 1:18-32; 3:9-20, 1 Cor. 15:33, Gal. 5:17-21, Eph 2:1-2, Jude 1:10).

The EXPONENTIAL growth of LAWLESSNESS since 1969 If we could look at a panoramic view of America from 1969 unto the world of today (2019), we would be absolutely EXPONENTIALLY horrified on how far we as an American people have EXPONENTIALLY drifted as a nation into the realms of EXPONENTIAL lawlessness with its EXPONENTIAL fruit thereof (Psalm 11:3, 82:5, Hosea 4:6, Rom. 1:18-32, Gal. 6:7, 2 Tim. 3:1-6, 2 Thess. 2:10-12)! The mediums of today possess the EXPONENTIAL capacity for outreach, and for Satan to take his war on Almighty God's RIGHTEOUSNESS and his promotion of lawlessness into every nook and cranny of this world, and into America's post-Judeo/Christian society. It is by these mediums that this world over the last 50 years has EXPONENTIALLY deteriorated and the harvest now ripe for Satan's demonic tool the antichrist to wage their final rebellion against their ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator (Dan. 2; 7; 12:4, 2 Thess. 3-12, Rev. 13, 16).

The lawless seeds planted at the Woodstock Music Festival in 1969 were a defining point in this nation's history against the "Establishment” and America’s core Judean/ Christian values. The icon which is most recognized as the symbol of Woodstock is the upside-down broken cross (aka. the "peace symbol"). That symbol is found everywhere today in America and throughout the world. This symbol has many meanings by many people; however many individuals have identified this symbol to be an upside-down broken cross and an icon for the overthrow of Judeo/Christianity. What is very apparent is that the heart of the "Woodstock spirit" was a revolution against Judeo/Christianity and its culture here in America; and that secularism, mysticism, moral relativism and lawless were to fill its vacuum when eradicated.

The Marxist medium at Woodstock was the brown acid of the radical Left’s agenda, whose goons in the reprobate (godless) music industry, Hollywood and media have used to steadily and incrementally attack the crucial boundaries of morality over the past 50 years. In the EXPONENTIAL HORRIFIC wake of Woodstock, the 60's and the EXPONENTIAl aid of the super-advanced technological mediums of this day; the lawless and political philosophies of Marx, Crowley, the Frankfort School, Alinsky and Nietzsche are now mainstream here in America and WOE to any who seek to overturn and override the new American ideology of "Do as thou wilt is the sum of the law".
These ideals and vices were the necessary ingredients used by Satan for the eradicating and removal of common sense, rational thought and creating the susceptibility for demonic hypnosis.
Woodstock was basically a money-making scheme at first by promoters but then took on a whole different mind of its own and spirit to follow. The spirit and mindset of Woodstock was a huge protest against America’s Judean/ Christian heritage and society/ government (i.e., “the Establishment”) in the name of "Peace". This movement sought to establish an alternative reality of “secular peace, love and joy” through the use of cultural relativism (non-absolutes), sexual immorality, hard-core drugs, lawlessness, and music genres. Any lawless ingredients such as these CAN ONLY produce violence, hatred, division, social tyranny, strife, murder, licentiousness, elegance, subjectivism as past history has shown us (Gen. 6, Job. 15:20-24, Psalm 119:165, Isa. 5:20; 32:17; 48:21-22; 57:20-2, Jer. 7:23-28; 18:11-12; Rom. 1:18-32; Gal. 5:19-21, 2 , Tim 3:1-6; Jude 1:10). These ideals and vices were the necessary ingredients used by Satan for the eradicating and removal of common sense, rational thought and creating the susceptibility for demonic hypnosis (2 Cor. 4:3-4, Rev. 9:20-21). Drugs and immorality are always the means for bringing one to a base state and opening of one's mind to the demonic influence and ideas of Satan's anti-God agenda and rebellion. This demonic game plan has successfully created the delusional utopian folly and the base (lewd) culture and society that now has ravished our land and exist today.
Euphemism Reality/ Double Speak Culture
Dear friends, the words and fruits of "peace, love, joy, and harmony", when it was used incorrectly as by the Woodstock generation; could never provide what these so desperately sought after. For Fifty years later who in their right mind would say that it has in 2019! But the stadiums and social mediums of America are EXPONENTIALLY abundant as the sands of the seas; full of Satan's utopian kool-aid drinkers ready and willing to believe and receive the greatest lie of all (2 Thess. 2:3-12, Rev. 13)! Oh, the ETERNALLY devastating delusion of self-seeking lawlessness and the reprobate mindset that rejects Almighty God our ETERNAL Creator and His ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS accountability (John 3:16-21, Acts 4:12; 17:22-34, Rom. 1:18-32; 3:23; 10-2-4)! The Woodstock mindset was nothing more than an altered reality based on lawlessness. A delusion and a fairy tale that can NEVER be! The redefining of moral absolutes CAN NEVER change REALITY and ABSOLUTE TRUTH, no matter how many billions of people one may gather together or rally to their cause. The same principle can be applied to Almighty God our ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator! Almighty God can NEVER be other than He has ALWAYS has been and is (Ex. 3:14, Num. 23:19, Psalm 90:2, Mal. 3:6, John 6:35; 8:12, 58; 10:7, 11; 11:25; 14:3; Heb. 13:8, James 1:17, Rev. 22:13). He IS RIGHTEOUS, He IS Holy, He IS Just, He IS ETERNALLY ABSOLUTE and He IS God!

The question that we need to objectively ask ourselves are these;
How can anything good precede from anarchy and a delusional reality; which seeks only to destroy and override ETERNAL RIGHTEOUSNESS, REALITY, and TRUTH? (Romans 1:18-32)
Almighty God’s Word states: "Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!" (Isaiah 5:20)
"For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness" (Romans 1:18).
"And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness" (2 Thess. 2:10-12).
In the ever redefining and “doublespeak” society of today, the Lord Jesus Christ described to all - who had an ear to hear - how to discern between TRUTH and error, RIGHTEOUSNESS and lawlessness, SANCTIFICATION and sacrilegiousness and Heaven and Hell
"Sanctify (set apart) them through thy truth: thy word is truth. (John 17:17).
"For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ ( John 1:17).
Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh" (James 3:12).
"Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree bad and its fruit bad; for the tree is known by its fruit" (Matt 12:33).
Dear friends, in light of the EXPONENTIAL darkness and demonic deception which fills our present-day; because of the outright rejection of Divine Light, DO NOT be deceived by the redefining of ETERNAL spiritual and moral absolutes by the god of this world (Matt. 24:3-4; John 8:44, Eph. 2:1-2, 2 Thess. 2:3-12, 1 John 4:1, 2 John 6-7, Rev. 14:9-11; 20:11-15; 22:11-15). The use of euphemistic alternative terms - no matter how many people back them - is insanity with ETERNAL Death before them. Push them aside and reject them with All your being and follow hard after the ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS and TRUE One, The Lord Jesus Christ! Dear friends, place your sole trust in Almighty God and His NEVER-CHANGING Word! Then you will have TRUE ETERNAL PEACE and TRUE ETERNAL HOPE and JOY in these days of absolute uncertainty. Place your trust in Christ today! You will NEVER be the same!
The Kingdom of Heaven is truly at Hand!
Lots of CAPS there dude.
I tried to watch the director’s cut of the Woodstock movie not long ago. It was really bad. I wanted to watch it for the music, but it got boring quickly.
In a weird sort of way, Woodstock probably says more about the positive morals of the hippies' parents than the mud pie crowd would prefer to acknowledge. Having a quarter of a million people without a lot of food and water etc and virtually no police presence, but yet there were no major crimes reported sounds more like kids remembered the Golden Rule vs sex and drugs and rock and roll. In turn, the fires and riots of Woodstock 99 probably says more about the morals of the GenXers parents (many of whom were Boomers...) than the kids themselves.
Caps rule my brother... This was the most hyped event in history
(2016) Couple on iconic Woodstock album cover still rocking decades later: ‘It’s us. That’s who we are. Still’ -— https://nationalpost.com/news/world/couple-on-iconic-woodstock-album-cover-still-rocking-decades-later-its-us-thats-who-we-are-still
I find this interesting. It is nice they are still married as of this article.
Seeing the words “woodstock” and “Biblical” in one sentence is just plain weird.
Got there Friday night. Left Monday morning. Missed Hendrix. Everyone thought it was over. Had to walk five miles to get back to my car. Music was great. Some better some worse. Some the music was great but the show was mediocre. Others the opposite. The best ‘Performance ‘ was a group I’d never think I’d like... ‘Sly And The Family Stone’ put on quite a performance. The Who both had great music and a good on stage presence. I remember the Grateful Dead’s performance was sub par (from drugs? I’ve seen them before and after. They were much better other times). The Band was good but I had seen them in a much more intimate venue and they were better then. Janice Joplin was better when I saw her with big brother. All in all I spend a long time being wet and sitting on a muddy hillside. Slept in a friend’s hearse Friday night and in my own tent Saturday/Sunday.
That being said I’m surprised I remember that much.
Yes. You are correct. Many good people were there. I was 20 and missed 3 days of my job. Boss was not happy
It was a concert with bad plumbing.
Nothing more.
It was a bunch of college aged kids, from the largest generation in US history. This was a generation, mostly pampered by middle class parents, who had money for transportation, admission, and drugs.
For some reason, this same generation looks down on their children who were more pampered, more entitled, and more wealthy than their parents.
The whole thing was a selfish mess.
Would have loved to watch Pete Townshend kick Abbie Hoffman off the stage.
The Beatles screwed everything up.

Too much is made of Woodstock. It was a disorganized mess of filth. Compare it to the better organized Atlanta Pop Festivals held in 1969 and 1970, yet you hear little about them in comparison.
Yup. You just reminded me. EXCELLENT
My sister, the eldest, begged to go. My father forbade her. She rebelled anyway.
She went from Straight-A to Straight-F in one year. She did a few months of drugs, followed by decades of paranoid schizophrenia.
That poster overreacted in the negative. You overreacted in the positive.
Woodstock was a thoroughly hedonsitic, pagan event that set up far worse, such as Altamont.
I grew up in Palo Alto at the time. I saw up close what events like that did to people.
I tend to agree. They recorded some good pop/rock music, but had an enormously disproportionate influence, mostly negative, on the American culture.
I was a math nerd, not really into music then. I marveled at the insanity of my sister, and other females, who literally became hysterical over The Beatles.
My sister once made me crawl behind the sofa on hands and knees, to listen to their lyrics from the speakers, so that I could write them down for her.
I thought they were overrated then, and think they are overrated now. No one is that good, setting aside the decadent effect of their image and influence.
