...'another Jesus' has to make the news! |
Acts 7:55 - But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,
The real Christ won't stand again until Revelation 19 - NOT Revelation 6
Following the evil communications today, we see Superman actually being
compared to Christ

'Man of Steel' filled with Jesus, Christianity referencesIt’s a bird. It’s a plane. No, it’s … Jesus?
When Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster created their iconic comic book hero Superman in 1938, their character wasn't just a representation of “Truth, Justice and the American Way,” but for many, a metaphor for Jewish immigrants in 1930s America. Created by two young Jewish men, Superman was an allusion to the Jewish faith and history, from his baby Moses-like origins to his golem-esque invincibility, to his outcast status and his ultimate struggle to assimilate in a new land.
But somewhere along his journey since 1938, Kal-El converted to Christianity, which is no more evident than in Zack Snyder’s current “Man of Steel.”
Snyder and his "Steel” co-creators Christopher Nolan and David S. Goyer have layered this latest incarnation with quite a few allusions to Jesus Christ. Here are a few:
- While there isn’t a miraculous birth per se, Kal-El’s (Henry Cavill) father Jor-El (Russell Crowe) claims that his son is the first “natural” birth in centuries. All children on Krypton are genetically engineered to a pre-determined purpose and thus artificially inseminated. Not Kal-El. Jor-El and his wife Lara had some legitimate baby making going on.
- One blaring symbol occurs during a climactic battle: Superman jumps from General Zod’s (Michael Shannon) ship and hovers in the sky with his arms out-stretched like the crucifix. Freeze-frame it and you can have your own Superman prayer card.
- Kal-El says he is 33, a not-too-subtle reference to the same age as Jesus Christ when he was crucified.
- The Passion of Superman. Kal-El is more than willing to sacrifice himself to save the people of Earth. Originally reluctant to reveal his identity and powers to the world, Supes decides to turn himself over to Zod to save humanity from annihilation.
- When things get tough, Clark Kent seeks advice from a priest. Visible in the background is a large painting of Jesus so you can see Supes and Christ side-by-side.
- Superman is a non-violent being. Even though people everywhere seem to want to beat up on Clark Kent, he never returns the favor, always opting to keep the peace.
- Jonathan Kent (Kevin Costner), Clark’s adoptive father, is somewhat like Jesus’ adoptive dad, Joseph. Both are tradesmen: Joseph a carpenter, Jonathan a farmer. Superman’s ship (or manger, if you will) is even kept in the Kent’s stable.
- And finally, don’t forget the Holy Trinity. Jor-El returns to Kal-El on Earth as a ghost, guiding his budding superhero son on his journey to salvation. Before Jor-El sends his son off to Earth baby Moses-style, he tells his wife that, like Jesus, “He’ll be a god to them.” With Superman’s seemingly invincible powers, he is.
To Us Today - NOW! verse 5:
But
watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist,
make full proof of thy ministry.
I see 'Christians' blabbing about their movies on facebook every day. These movies provide false gospel to the watchers, no matter who they are - but especially to their children.
As the Tribulation Time Approaches, People are Wresting the Scriptures,
More and More
And all because of the white horse in chapter 6, they then try to 'make
it all fit' with Revelation 19
II Peter 3:16 - As
also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are
some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable
wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
This is just amazing!
This is too simple! Just too simple to figure out.
Just read the Scriptures themselves - no commentaries, no 'other' books, etc.
Ok, we will!!!
Let's do a quick Book of Revelation review / preview.
People today are so interested in Revelation - they are
afraid - they know something is up.
The cults grab folks all over with Revelational wrong
dividing!!!
Revelation 6-19 is called Daniel's Seventieth Week in Daniel 9, the time of Jacob's trouble in Jeremiah 30:7 and the 'time of trouble' in Daniel 12:1. One can also see in Jeremiah 33:11 what will be missing during this time.
Israel will be persecuted / punished / chastised. These unparalleled, catastrophic events and cataclysmic judgments which are going to come upon this earth begin AFTER the rapture of the church. See Matthew 24!
The Book of Revelation takes us
through the Tribulation four times.
(against the teachings of DeHaan, Gaebelien, Pettingill,
Scofield, Larkin, Pember, etc. - did you notice any familiar names?
see, sometimes it IS important to see these names mentioned!)
The Book of Revelation gives four accounts of the Second
Coming of Christ
as does Matthew, Mark, Luke and John give four accounts
of the first coming of Christ.
Chapters 5-6 ... the seals
(7 is parenthetical)
Chapters 8-11 ... trumpets
(10 is parenthetical)
Chapters 12-14 ... activities of
the antichrist
Chapters 15-19 ... the seven
vials / the destruction of Babylon the Great / Christ's Second Coming
Keep in mind...
The Real Christ and the Great Imitator
John 17:3 or Isaiah
14:13,14

This white horse rider in Revelation 6:2 vs chapter 19:11-21
which one do you have?
Would to God ye could bear with me a little
in my folly:
and indeed bear with me.
For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy:
for I have espoused you to one husband,
that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.
But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent
beguiled Eve through his subtilty,
so your minds should be corrupted from
the simplicity that is in Christ.
For if he that cometh preacheth another
Jesus, whom we have not preached,
or if ye receive another spirit, which
ye have not received,
or another gospel, which ye have not accepted,
ye might well bear with him.
II Corinthians 11:1-4
They are preaching another Jesus these days...
more than ever and in more places than ever!
And people still don't see it!
O well!
