article imageOpinion: From Cassandra To Jesus Christ

From Cassandra to Jesus Christ, it is amazing how often the doomed choose to ignore those who warn them of their coming fate. Cassandra was "doomed to tell the truth yet never to be believed". I am amazed how Greek Mythology so mirrors American politics.
I am also equally amazed that the United States is the last hold out for Judeo-Christian values but I am not surprised at all that those values are under attack by those that will not heed the warnings. What is equally astounding are the attitudes of complacency of so many alleged Christians in this nation we call America. Prophecy is being fulfilled as we live and breath and yet the silence is overwhelmingly loud. Alas. The silent ones will deserve everything that befalls them.

Casandra had the ability to foresee the future but was damned by her lover Apollo to never have the gift of persuasion because she spurned him at one point in time. The lesson there is to never anger your God or god. In the words of Cassandra. "Apollo, my destroyer, for you have destroyed me ..." (Aeschylus, Agamemnon 1080) and "I promised consent to Apollo but broke my word ... and ever since that fault I could persuade no one." (Aeschylus, Agamemnon 1208ff.)

John The Baptist lamented in nearly the same manner when he proclaimed "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?" and "I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness: Make straight the way of the Lord, as the prophet Isaiah said." Some call John The Baptist God's sled dog. I agree. Someone has to do it. It is all too readily clear that our politicians are not only incapable of such but are wholly unqualified.

Amazing isn't it? Who will hear and who will respond in the affirmative to that which witness day in and day out? We see a Global Cultural Jihad unfolding before us yet we sit idly by in either fear to make waves or total disbelief. We ignore it in the hopes that it will all mysteriously vanish. Such is not the case.

This Global Cultural Jihad does not mean in totality that it is only the alleged "radical" Islam members conducting it nor does it mean that you have to be an Islamist to conduct a Jihad. Jihad means a Holy War and in my estimation anyone can conduct a Holy War. The Scriptures are very clear in this as is so stated in Ephesians 6:12, "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."

We fight evil with good and there are those that fight good with evil. It is up to people to ascertain and discern that which evil and that which is good. There are abundant sources of data upon which to glean the knowledge required to make the correct choices in life.

Herb Meyer was recently in Davos, Switzerland at a symposium where mighty men of courage gathered to discuss current events and, as voices in the wilderness, Mr Meyer made this proclamation:

[...] There has never been a superpower in this position before. On the one hand, this makes the U.S. a magnet for bright and ambitious people. It also makes us a target. We are becoming one of the last holdouts of the traditional Judeo-Christian culture. There is no better place in the world to be in business and raise children. The U.S. is by far the best place to have an idea, form a business and put it into the marketplace.

We take it for granted, but it isn’t as available in other countries of the world. Ultimately, it’s an issue of culture. The only people who can hurt us are ourselves, by losing our culture. If we give up our Judeo-Christian culture, we become just like the Europeans.

The culture war is the whole ballgame. If we lose it, there isn’t another America to pull us out. [END]


No other words to my knowledge of been uttered so truthfully in recent days. America is in the same Culture War as is all of Europe and Canada. It has gotten so dire that Europe is preparing for their own Holy War called a civil war. So, too, here in the USA, there are some which are speaking of the same. As a Warrior myself, I pray that this does not come to pass but I do understand the sentiment and can see it coming. It can be all avoided but there must be those willing to make themselves known and emerge from their closeted comfort zones and speak out.

Traditional America is under attack and has been for decades. The issue is this; is it too late to do anything about it? For the first time a true Marxist is poised to become the President of the United States and Barack Obama is indeed a Marxist. All one has to do is listen to him as he speaks and parse his rhetoric. The man is a consummate liar and the collection of videos presented clearly depict that fact.

American Liberalism has been shown to be a mental disorder in proportions as to declare the country an international crisis. We have no qualified leadership in this nation at the federal level. Their spines and moral fortitude have been beaten into globs of mush with no relief in sight.

We need national healing and that won't come until 2 Chronicles 7:14 comes into prominent play: "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." Naturally, the Leftinistra will froth and foam at the mouth with these words but this is to be expected and I am sure the comments section will be rife with much wailing and gnashing of teeth.

The United States is at a crossroads and the time has come for action and perhaps the Great Revival Part 2. Heed these words from one voice in the wilderness.

    You have my apologizes for missing the point of this article Mark, which by the way I did read.

    It looks like they were all empty meaningless words to you to just get those who disagree with you to make comments.

    I will be sure to never make this mistake again.


    It wasn't meant as a "cut" or a "dig". The intent of the piece was to display how Cassandra right up until Jesus Christ people did not listen and would not accept warnings. It wasn't about religion at all. It was about voices from the wilderness trying to warn the people that they loved and cared for.

    I didn't se any of your comments that were off topic at all. The only ones that were, were the folks wanting to make it about religion and crusades which to me, are not in the text.

    Just in case the piece wasn't read, the piece wasn't about religion at all.

    Try again.

    Hint: it is about missing the point and it is obvious that it indeed missed by some that want to talk about religion

    If Sykos wants to talk about religion, please feel free to write one and discuss away.


    Oh I must have missed the point hidden in all the religious posturing and sources including: 'godssleddog' blog, battleinchrist.com, gatesofvienna (anti-Islam blog), americantruthwarriorsvid (blog), and anewtone.com.

    Given that you referenced blogs and obviously Christian-centric sites, I can't imagine where I got the impression that this was a misplaced blog about "the last hold out for Judeo-Christian values".

    What was it the Good Book says about honesty again?

    The words spoken by a socio-commie sycophant. One day you will actually know what you blather on so about.


    I contemn you completely, col snoopie.
    Your broadsides are effective only against folks whose intellectual capabilities are lower than your own--and even on this benighted forum there aren't that many...

    Hey Mark, I am sorry if my comments upset you I was just going with the flow hun. Although your article is about not heeding warnings, it is quite full of the words "Judeo-Christian" and how the culture influenced by the religion is being threatened. Whenever you mention Christianity there are going to be "attacks" or questions about Christianity, and people are going to discuss.

    Sykos, Mark is one of the contributers at anewtone, and he is well networked with other blogs that double as news outlets much like Michelle Malkin's blog and the Huffington Post.

    Infact Mark, if you don't mind I'll be more than happy to put this on my blog as well or make you a contributer. E-mail me a djamaranth@gmail.com and I can add you. =)

    Just because he knew you would do it doesn't mean he told you or forced you. Thus you have free will.

    He forced me to the moment He created me in the act of creating me.
