BIN-GO, AD!

And don't they know it?!

Does anyone still wonder why these "Heathen Rage" against the Passion so?

Just as it was during the Roman Empire, a lot of "profits" stand to be lost if any significant number of the sheeple see the Light, experience a spiritual awakening, and accept the Redeeming sacrifice of our Lord, thus entering into the Kingdom of God and Eternal Life.

For one thing, how much do you suppose the big South American Drug cartels are raking in a year?

They have no problem with kidnapping, torturing, and/or killing anyone who even threatens to compromise that market, do they?
How do you suppose they will feel about Mr. Gibson if this work ignites a major revival in America - or across the World? Do you think anyone who has tasted the Living Waters that flow from the Throne of God will ever want to go back to cocaine? Sadly, a few do, actually - but not that many.
If 10 million addicts are empowered to break free of the chains of addiction, how do you suppose the profits of the cartels will be effected? Do you suppose that the Warlords and Gang Bosses might be a little "upset"?

How many leftist rags full of anti-Jewish and Christian heresy do you think will sell after such an awakening?

And how many of the Converted will be lining up to watch Hollywood's' gross (really gross) "national product" any more?

Does anyone have an idea how much money is being gleaned from the Pornography "industry"? How about just it's "internet" tentacle alone? Any guesses?

I'll bet "Education" would like to share a tenth of that amount per year - maybe they'd let up on trying to tax working Americans into poverty "for the Children" just a little bit?

What is Las Vegas raking in each year now?

How many sincere Believers in the Risen Christ will be hanging around the casinos any more, do you suppose?

I wonder how the collection plates in all of these "enlightened" liberal political clubs that adorn themselves with the robe of ecclesiastical credibility and meet in a "Church" or "Synagogue" to advance their socialist political and social agenda while paying lip-service tribute to "religion" will fare?

Do you think that after some of the Parishioners get smacked full square in the Soul with one of those "cloven tongues of Fire" from the Holy Spirit, that they will be hanging around a "church" where the Name of Jesus Christ has been carefully expunged from the liturgy and Hymnal so as not to "offend" anyone?

Will Americas be paying tuition for their Born-Again Children to attend a college where Wiccan and Islam are celebrated, but the Name of Jesus Christ systematically suppressed and His followers persecuted?

    I'll bet that you can think of a few more of America's key institutions and wielders of great power and cultural influence that have been thoroughly infiltrated and taken over by the Darkness of late, who are not going to be at all pleased by any great moral / Spiritual Re-Awakening in our Culture.

    Oh; BTW; do you suppose that a person's view of personal and collective eternal accountability to an infinite, almighty GOD and their personal relationship with Him might effect the way they VOTE?

    Now your humble Correspondent, for one, does not presume for an instant that the person/s in control of these key institutions are so stupid as to not consider the possible consequences of such a sweeping Revival, nor of the potential of the "Passion" for instigating one.

    So does it come as any as any surprise that such a vitriolic attack on Mr. Gibson and his latest offering would be launched - or from whence it originates?

    Not in this corner of Maine, it doesn't!

Shalom;

"Uncle Jaque"
