| | Beauty Queen, Pop King and that Guy who'll sell you anything All our American Idols...Dead Dead all Dead I know it sound mean...But I think there is a message for us in this little lyric. After Farah Fawcett passed away and than Michael Jackson...I found myself contemplating this and felt the Lord was trying to show me/us something in this. I immediately had the thought that there would be a third one. Then Billy Mays died. and that is when the little lyric popped into my head. Here in America we idolize Beauty, Fame and Money or what money can buy. I feel like God is warning us of a monumental changes coming to the USA. Our idols will be cast off. And we will again Cry out to the ONE TRUE GOD. I know I will get all the hate mail saying...."so your saying God killed them so they could be some kind of example?"...NO NO NO. God did not kill them. They, through their lifestyle and choices died. They were either not good to their bodies or they died from common things that consume many of us anal cancer, drugs, and heart disease. But God is using the timing as a message for us. I am in no way making any judgements against them...that is God's job. But I think it is safe to say that their lives were not exactly "righteous" Also the good they did in their lives should be remembered. But, they definitely were held in America as a types of idols. Often more loved than God himself by many. Here are a few scriptures to support my thinking. BTW it is ironic that there are punk rock bands named Idols Are Dead & Kill Your Idols Isaiah 2:17 17-18Human pride will be ended, and human arrogance will be destroyed. Idols will completely disappear, and the Lord alone will be exalted on that day.10 )They will hide in caves in the rocky hills or dig holes in the ground to try to escape from the Lord's anger and to hide from his power and glory!11 A day is coming when human pride will be ended and human arrogance destroyed. Then the Lord alone will be exalted.12 On that day the Lord Almighty will humble everyone who is powerful, everyone who is proud and conceited.13 He will destroy the tall cedars of Lebanon and all the oaks in the land of Bashan.14 He will level the high mountains and hills,15 every high tower, and the walls of every fortress.16 He will sink even the largest and most beautiful ships.17-18Human pride will be ended, and human arrogance will be destroyed. Idols will completely disappear, and the Lord alone will be exalted on that day. | Wisdom 1: 13 - 15 | | 13 | because God did not make death, and he does not delight in the death of the living. | | 14 | For he created all things that they might exist, and the generative forces of the world are wholesome, and there is no destructive poison in them; and the dominion of Hades is not on earth. | | 15 | For righteousness is immortal. |
2 Chron 7:14 14and My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land. Proverbs 8:36 36But he that shall sin against me, shall hurt his own soul. All that hate me love death. 2 Timothy 3The Last Days 1 Remember that there will be difficult times in the last days.2 People will be selfish, greedy, boastful, and conceited; they will be insulting, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, and irreligious;3 they will be unkind, merciless, slanderers, violent, and fierce; they will hate the good; Romans 6:23 23For the wages of sin is death. But the grace of God, life everlasting, in Christ Jesus our Lord. Revelation 21:8 8But I will tell you what will happen to cowards and to everyone who is unfaithful or dirty-minded or who murders or is sexually immoral or uses witchcraft or worships idols or tells lies. They will be thrown into that lake of fire and burning sulfur. This is the second death. Matthew 6:24No man can serve two masters. For either he will hate the one, and love the other: or he will sustain the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.
Pharmakeia is a Greek word that appears several times in the New Testament, including the Epistle to the Galatians and the Book of Revelation. It is frequently translated as "witchcraft" or "sorcery." The English word "pharmaceutical" is derived from the same root as this word. The admonitions against it in the Bible are often used as the basis of claims that mind-altering drug use is sinful, as the ancient pagans used hallucinogens in their sorcery. Further, and earlier schools of thought have understood the warning against Pharmakeia to be a ban on oral contraceptives that were in use at the time.
