At Least U2 Didn't Use Pagan Symbols for "Yahweh" in the New DVD

Re: The new Vertigo DVD -

At least they did not show huge, lit-up spiritistic-pagan-idol symbols during "Yahweh" for this filming - like they did at many or most of the live Vertigo concerts.

(The DVD still highlights Bono's COEXIST headband, however - with its three pagan-spiritistic symbols: The cresent moon, the hexagram, and the cross. Bono is also pictured wearing it on the DVD's cover.)


More FYI:

God DOES NOT bless or protect troups today (as requested by Bono in the Vertigo DVD). He blesses the efforts of those people who OBEY HIM - who DO NOT TAKE UP THE SWORD, and who LEARN WAR NO MORE, etc. (Matthew 26:52; Revelation 13:10; Isaiah 2:4)

Bono, did you or did you not make quite a repeated, giant public issue about the war-mongering of religions??? This is an example of what is wrong, and you did it yourself! God ISN'T GOING TO BLESS OR PROTECT THE MILITARY TROUPS OF NATIONS ANYMORE - they are NOT doing his will. To infer that God would is just joining in with all of the other FALSE "Christian" and other FALSE religionists who promote and/ or condone fleshly war participation and spiritual support of it!!!! Again, what is the point of backing "Give Peace a Chance", walking around making the peace sign, singing "Love and peace", etc., but then praying before the masses - asking them to join in too - for God's protection of those in the military? How are you being DIFFERENT than those whom you are portraying as spiritually blinded??? And then you followed THIS by scrolling the Declaration of Human Rights - and then singing "Hallelujah"?????????????????????

HELLO, HELLO
ITS TIME TO GET A GRIP, YOU KNOW
YOU GIVE YOUR OWN SELF VERTIGO
IF YOU DON'T SAY AND DO
WHAT IS REAL!!!!!

Will this Bob Dylan song help at all?

(Notes: Strike out the word "hell"; and also know that it's Satan and men that have been making the wars and who keep making them - so don't blame God for not stopping any new ones. Also, there's really no question, and confusion is unnecessary - "Love your neighbor as yourself", "love your enemy", "you must not murder", and the above Scriptures about not taking up the sword and learning war all make it crystal clear: Participation in and/ or spiritual support of the wars of the nations today violate God and Christ's commands and principles and mar a person's relationship with the heavenly Father/ Giver of Life and his Son who gave his life so that men could LIVE.)


Can you SEE THE DIFFERENCE yet between the global conglomerate of all false religions (Satan's "Babylon the Great") - what they're about, what they've done, what they do, and where they're headed - and Jehovah/ Yahweh and Jesus Christ's one global, united, loyal, conscientious-objecting, Bible-OBEDIENT people who bear the name of Jehovah/ Yahweh upon them as his Witnesses, and who seek to have his name HONORED and his life-saving TRUTH made known throughout the earth??? There is a difference, is there not???

"At that time, those in fear of Jehovah [Yahweh] spoke with one another, each one with his companion, and Jehovah [Yahweh] kept paying attention and listening. And a book of remembrance began to be written up before him for those in fear of Jehovah [Yahweh] and for those thinking upon his name.

'And they will certainly become mine, Jehovah [Yahweh] of armies has said, 'at the day when I am producing a special property. And I will show compassion upon them, just as a man shows compassion upon his son who is serving him. And you people will again certainly see [the distinction] between a righteous one and a wicked one, between one serving God and one who has not served him.'" (Malachi 3:16-18)


P.S. I'll answer what Bob Dylan in that song would not: The Scriptures show that Judas Iscariot did NOT have "God on his side." (John 17:12; Matthew 23:15) Please remember that.

God's Name Should NOT be Sung While Promoting the United Nations!!!!!!!!!!!!!

During "Vertigo" shows, U2 made a place for scrolling down some of the beginning Articles of the Declaration of Human Rights. Seems all good - right? After all, a lot of the "Human Rights" shown were God-given freedoms that all people should have, without unjust oppression from others. In the show filmed for the Vertigo Tour DVD, as well as in at least one show I observed in person, U2 sang "Hallelujah" repeatedly during the scrolling of the UN's words.

"Hallelujah" means "Praise Jah/ Praise Jah, you people!"; "Jah" being a shortened form of Jehovah/ Yahweh.

God has his standards of human rights, and they are being violated, in many instances severely, everywhere on earth. No human institution has resolved these issues for everyone, everywhere; and neither is there true security of person for anyone in this world at this time.
So, while its nice to have certain stated righteous goals and standards to point to; people's God-given human rights are still being trampled on. Actual and consistent protection and upholding of them has NOT been accomplished by this or any other man-made ruling entity.

Like God's words teach, it is beyond human power to root out all of the forces of evil that lurk around and make bad trouble in this world. God's power and Rule are what is needed to get rid of what the underlying problems are - which are spiritual problems involving people's minds and hearts - their motivation for what they choose to do; and also the presence of wicked spirit beings in among mankind. Therefore, it is false for people to exalt a human institution as being that which can deliver only what the True God with his perfect righteousness, justice, love, wisdom, and power can.

The UN has not established lasting conditions of Human Rights for everyone, any much more than they have brought about changes in people's thinking to where they resolve to not go to war and fight each other anymore - even though Isaiah 2:4 has been chiseled in stone on a wall of their plaza. Clearly, the UN cannot effectively do God's job as global manager - but neither were they ever meant to.

Still, rather than looking to God rule and God's real heaven-based Kingdom being brought down to earth as the answer to mankind's multiple crtitical-level problems; many people would rather rest their hope in other people's "power" and ingenuity to make "everything" right. So, they continue to ignore God's instruction for their own good; and they keep misplacing their faith and efforts.

If U2 were to continue to scroll down towards the bottom of the Declaration of Human Rights, they would find something notably "darker" than the "Up, Up With People" beginning: Article 29, Section 3. That Section demands that the UN be held in highest authority - by all - over the affairs of men. In short, here it is demanding to be god to the world.

Now, whoever would want a global idol to be set up?

God Almighty's Adversary?

Of course.

He (Satan) would like people to give worship to anything other than the Creator, on God's own terms.

As more credit to Jehovah/ Yahweh, the words of his Bible long ago predicted that humans would set up such an idol against him - and that they would be motivated to do so by the same wicked being that originally encouraged mankind to rule themselves rather than to obey God-rule. (Revelation 13:2, 12-15; Genesis 3:1-5; Revelation 12:9)
However, it is Yahweh/ Jehovah/ Jah that absolutely should be held in Highest Authority over the affairs of men. As the Universal Sovereign, he has delivered his own decrees and standards to the world of mankind - for our hope, benefit, and continued life. Most people ignore them, and choose to subscribe to inferior, man-made (self-made), and Satan-inspired codes for living instead. (That is why our world is nearly ruined again.) Nevertheless, Yahweh/ Jehovah's own rules regarding worship of him; and his global people's right to carry out worship of him according to his commandments and purposes are rightly beyond the jurisdiction of mere fellow human beings. It also remains that Yahweh/ Jehovah is the Judge of the Earth, and will soon hold every last person accountable for whether they chose to obey HIS rule and respect HIS Universal Sovereignty above all or not. (2 Thessalonians 1:8)

In case of conflict between any law of men and God's laws, TRUE Christians "obey God as ruler rather than men." (Acts 5:29) They give their allegiance and trust for the salvation of humankind and themselves only to the Maker, Jehovah/ Yahweh, and his Son, Jesus Christ. Jesus is Jehovah/ Yahweh's appointed King of his heaven-based Kingdom, which soon will be extended by him to engulf the whole earth.

Not only will individual man-made kingdoms cease to exist (Daniel 2:44) , but any conglomerate of them set up to rival God over the rule of mankind will certainly cease to exist as well. (Revelation 16:13,14; 19:17-20) All (false) religious entities that indulge in popular spiritual adultery by giving support to a man-made rival to God Almighty, Jesus Christ, and the TRUE heaven-based Kingdom of God with its fully righteous rule will cease to exist even earlier - by sudden Divine intervention. The very ones they are spiritually adulterating themselves to politically are the ones who will destroy them - through the man-made idol-rival to God and his true rule that they (along with Satan's spirit) all set up and praised together as one. (Revelation 13:4,-6, 8, 11-17; 17:12,13, 15-18)

So is it right to sing "Hallelujah" towards the UN? Is it God? Will Jehovah/ Yahweh/ Jah bring about his Kingdom of God on earth through it and human rulers rather than a heaven-based Kingdom of God headed by his Son? Will the UN be able to bring TRUE, lasting "peace and security" to everyone, everywhere on earth?

No, no, no, and no. (That's pretty musical, isn't it.)

Who Put the Bono Under the Buddah?

I about bust. Let me explain...

Last October, I "slipped in under the wire" - I went and listened to Bono give a lecture at Penn State University, and then had dinner there. I wanted to hear one of these speeches first hand...I already knew, however, that what is going to save this world is far different than what most or maybe even all of the rest there were putting their hope in. I took notes...

Only one speaker in this secular setting made a "God" reference with snide inflection. I think the word was "dogma." Imagine a snide-slide of "dog-ma." He was speaking of how Bono presented the subject of "human rights" without "dog-ma." (Clue: For an ultimate example of man-made "dogma" , read Article 29, section 3.) That is also really, really ironic considering what came later...

The dinner and reception were in an archeological museum, with false god statues everywhere. (Not only did worship of some of these false gods involve their own sets of "dog-ma"; but some of these "gods" themselves LOOKED like dogs (or swine or cats, etc.)

I wandered off, and found a humble space of wall where the topic was "Yahweh." This is part of what the plaque had to say regarding worship of him - how it stood out as different:

"Ancient Near Eastern religions were polytheistic, recognizing and worshiping more than one diety. Biblical monotheism, the concept of a single god with a universal authority, STANDS OUT AS A UNIQUE DEVELOPMENT in ancient Israel."

Indeed - it is the same today. Those who insist on worshiping Yahweh/ Jehovah - as their single God, with universal authority - stand out as different.

The dinner was held in a round room, encircled by statues - old stone false god figures. "We ate the food, we drank the wine/ Everyone having a good time..." Except me, I wanted to talk about the end of the world. (Actually, I had a nice conversation with someone.)

After a lot of people had left, I went over to where Bono had been sitting. I couldn't believe my eyes. Unreal! These people actually had the man sit underneath a giant "Future buddah" statue! The buddah's hand was extended, so it would have been as if Bono was eating dinner beneath his palm, being "blessed" or something. (This is the same university that conferred an honorary Doctorate of Law degree on Bono. Now he's their undergraduate god?) I could have laid on my belly, pounded the floor and kicked my feet in laughter at how ridiculous this all was, but I kept decorum and left quietly. After all, tomorrow was another day.

FALSE EXCUSES (A Poem Containing SARCASM). A "Fly" - Style Screen. Re: Whomever it Fits

I WAS RAISED IN THAT...

I LEFT AT 12

I LEFT AT 15

I LEFT AT 20

IT WAS MY PARENT'S THING

SO "RESTRICTIVE"

I LEFT AT 12, 15, OR 20

SO I KNOW EVERYTHING

SO I KNOW EVERYTHING

SO I KNOW EVERYTHING

I NEVER MADE THE TRUTH MY OWN

OR REALLY STUDIED IT

OR APPRECIATED GOD'S WORDS

FOR WHAT THEY ARE

I FIND THEM RESTRICTIVE

AND DISCIPLINARY

OF MY DESIRES

SO THAT MEANS THEY MUST NOT BE TRUE

(SARCASM)

BECAUSE THEY DON'T SUPPORT

ME HAVING EVERYTHING I WANT

RIGHT? WRONG?

I WANT WHAT I WANT

LIKE A 2-YR. OLD

AND IF YOU WON'T SAY YES

ABOUT EVERYTHING I WANT,

GOD, FATHER,

RIGHT NOW

THEN I WILL THROW A FIT

AND TELL EVERYONE

THAT YOU ARE WRONG,

THAT THE WORDS YOU PURPOSELY DELIVERED

ARE FAULTY

AND SO PEOPLE

SHOULD JUST DO WHAT THEY WANT

WHAT THEY THINK IS BEST

JUST LIKE MOST EVERYONE

ALREADY DOES

AS THEY SUPPORT

THE KILLING OF EACH OTHER

WHILE SPEAKING OF LOVE AND PEACE

IN THIS DYING WORLD.

I KNOW EVERYTHING

I LEFT AT 12, 15, OR 20

STARTED MAKING EXCUSES AGAINST OBEYING GOD

WEAK EXCUSES MIXED WITH UNTRUE REASONS

TO COVER OVER THE FACT

THAT I REALLY LEFT

BECAUSE GOD'S WORDS KEPT SAYING "NO"

TO SELFISH, WRONG DESIRES

BUT I STILL WANTED THEM

MORE THAN I WANTED FRIENDSHIP WITH GOD

OR TO BE LOYAL TO HIM

SO I LEFT AT 12, 15, OR 20

YET I'LL TELL YOU I KNOW EVERYTHING

ALL THE TRUTH ABOUT WHAT ITS LIKE

TO HAVE A VIABLE RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD,

DOING HIS WILL,

EVEN THOUGH I CHOSE TO SERVE MY DESIRES

ABOVE FAITHFULLY SERVING HIM

WHEN IT CAME RIGHT DOWN TO IT

WHEN THE TESTS CAME UP

OF WHO OR WHAT I WOULD PUT FIRST

I CHOSE: "SELF."

SATAN SAID: "FANTASTIC."

THEN HE SAID, "WILL YOU LIE FOR ME TOO?"

I SAID: "HOW IS THIS - I LEFT GOD'S TRUTH AT 12, 15, OR 20.

I KNOW ALL ABOUT HIM AND HIS SO-CALLED TRUTH,

BECAUSE, IN MY OPINION,

I LIVED IT AND TESTED IT OUT ENOUGH.

GOD'S WORDS AREN'T REALLY TRUE .

THERE IS NO ONE TRUTH WE MUST OBEY.

WE CAN DO WHAT WE WANT

AND CLAIM NO ONE KNOWS THE TRUTH."

SATAN SAYS: "PERFECT, CHILD."
