Re: OT: Message #5 ... The Second of the Four Blood Moons ... October 8 (Tomorrow)

Hi S - I hope you have a great time at the America concert! Friday night, Michael Martin Murphey will be performing locally with the Southwest Symphony. I think I'll be in attendance. Nutty Larry the Cable Guy will be in town on Saturday for a show. I have a ticket that will be honored from his earlier canceled performance due to an injury while he was filming a movie in Canada. Then on Sunday, Murphey performs again but for free for 2 hours at what is called the Western Heritage Museum. I think I'll see him again. Not sure if he'll be performing with his band or just by himself. I hope the former. Again, have fun at the America concert.
Regarding which horse, I found the following on the net but not sure about its accuracy whichsoever:
"As infectious disease: Under this interpretation, the first horseman is called Pestilence, and is associated with infectious disease and plague. It appears at least as early as 1916, when it is mentioned in the Jewish Encyclopedia.[ The interpretation is common in popular culture references to the Four Horsemen.
The origin of the interpretation is unclear. Some translations of the Bible mention "plague" (e.g. the NIV) or "pestilence" (e.g. the RSV) in connection with the riders in the passage following the introduction of the fourth rider; cf. "They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine, plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth." (Revelation 6:7-8˄ NASB). However, it is a matter of debate as to whether this passage refers to the fourth rider, or to the four riders as a whole.
Vicente Blasco Ibáñez, in his 1916 novel The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (filmed in 1921 and in 1962), provides an early example of this interpretation, writing "The horseman on the white horse was clad in a showy and barbarous attire. [...] While his horse continued galloping, he was bending his bow in order to spread pestilence abroad. At his back swung the brass quiver filled with poisoned arrows, containing the germs of all diseases."

S - Thinking more about the plagues during the end times, I think it's probably during the tribulation that the horsemen appear as well as the pouring out of the bowls of wrath. Whichever the case, it will be the most horrific time in all of earth's history according to Scripture. But, as believers, we won't be here as you know, thanks be to God!
I found the following from my previous posting from this morning quite interesting. I'm speaking of the day the man died in Dallas with Ebola. At the time of my posting this morning, I didn't know the man had succumb to his illness. Here is a quote from my prior message:
"We have the first diagnosed case of the Ebola virus spreading exponentially, he [Mark Biltz] explained. He added that the first diagnosed case of Ebola in the United States has even been reported as occurring on the Feast of Trumpets...."
Interesting that the Ebola victim in Dallas died today which is on another one of God's feast days - the Feast of Tabernacles! Coincidence? Hmmm.
Concerning Michael Martin Murphey, yeah, I too really like his singing of "Geronimo's Cadillac." He always performs it live. I have actually seen him in concert more than I have seen America. He is a very humble and gracious man. I have met him a couple of times. One of the times was when he autographed my old mandolin. As he was doing so, he called over his son Ryan to check it out. Ryan is a mandolin player who was performing with his dad that night.
Back in '82, I wrote MMM a letter. He lives around the Taos, New Mexico area which is in northern NM. I don't remember exactly how I came to know his address, but I sent him a letter and he wrote back on May 5, 1982 to say:
"Dear Johnny,
Thank you for your warm letter. I am glad that my music interests you so. I am truly flattered that you think my album 'Michael Martin Murphey' is so lovely. Thank you again for your appreciation.
Sincerely,
Michael Murphey"
Interesting that he signed it without the "Martin" portion of his name, but that is how his letterhead/logo was also.
Here is one of my favorites of his played live - "Carolina In The Pines".

It would be really cool if I could learn how to spell MMM's last name, wouldn't it? Very interesting (not to mention sad) the timing of that man's death from ebola. No accident.
I like Michael Martin Murphey's (there I did it right) countenance. He has a light in his eyes that you'd have to be blind to not notice! It's Ryan, isn't it, who plays the killer sax - as well as other instruments? I saw a video of him playing with his dad at a very young age, and he stopped playing, walked over to his dad, whispered in his ear, "You did it wrong, Dad." Hysterical!
Yesterday I happened to listen to several of his songs. Does Bill Miller still play in his band? A number of years ago, he was the worship leader on a Hosanna! Integrity album, with a Native American sound to it. I should like MMM in concert with his supporting band, the best, I think, although he's got a great voice and plays very well. Enjoy!!!

I'm HOME, KoG! So what'd ja do, what'd ja do, what'd ja do, do, do???
That young lady has a LOT of potential, vocally-speaking. She already shows signs, unfortunately, of becoming a spoiled little child superstar, and I hate to see that.
The song tackles a terrible epidemic that nobody labels "epidemic." God hates divorce, and I think one of the reasons is that it disinherits the children. Since my father's first wife divorced him (for another man) I have first-hand experience. He brought his woundedness into his relationship with my mother. My older siblings never really recovered. When he died, I got it all. However, he told them AND me what he wanted each one of them to get and I ended up giving them even more. But what they got was filtered through me first.
Secondly, we think that because the warm fuzzies are gone, that love must be gone. Love is a commitment, not a feeling. The commitment has to carry people through, when the feelings have waned or are gone altogether.
Thirdly, relationships - ANY - take work, and when things aren't going well, they take more work. God probably had a smart idea in keeping me single, because I'm a lazy thing when it comes to relationships! After so many years, I've got my own little world and I usually take great delight in it! I've gotten bored twice this year. There's always something to do, and I keep busy during my free time.
Fourthly, the people of God have done a pathetic job with counseling. We're great at dispensing psychology, but that doesn't cut it. The evidence is in the divorce rate amongst Christians. Hurting people need to hear from their Creator and that takes a lot of time on the part of the pastor, on his face before God on behalf of those he counsels. Precious few pastors understand that or are willing to put in the time. Best teaching I ever received on relationships - any relationship - was by a Kiwi named Tom Marshall. He was in YWAM and had pioneered Teen Challenge (David Wilkerson's program) in New Zealand. His book, "Right Relationships: How to Create them and How to Restore them," was our "textbook" when I took a biblical counseling school through YWAM.
He taught that in ANY relationship, there are 4 ingredients: love, trust, honor and understanding. Love endures, no matter what. Trust is very fragile and hard to regain. Our modern society is bereft of honor or respect. And we have a deep need to be understood by others.
The biggest negative of this past weekend was the total lack of relationship extended to me by the people who attended this benefit event. One dude walked by me like I wasn't there. Three inches closer and he would've mowed me down! Nobody, but nobody opened up to me, until this morning. I wanted to backhand the man sitting next to me during the concert Friday night. He literally sat there with his arms folded defiantly across his chest, as if to say, "I'm a married man, Lady, so keep your distance." Well I wasn't interested in flirting with the turkey, for pity's sake! I'd pick somebody I thought was better-looking than him, believe me! I left him and visited with a couple from Redding that I met in the parking lot. I spotted their California license plate, and they happened to be the couple I wanted to meet anyway! When I returned, he changed his physical stance and we actually had a little conversation! This morning at breakfast I got a man to open up to me. He was a retired construction worker and my father was a bulldozer operator. I understood the lingo. A younger man joined us. (I must say they both cussed a blue streak) but the older guy told the funniest stories about people putting their boats on their boat trailers!
Just a simple little conversation like that meant a lot to me and mellowed my opinion of the whole affair (America's outrageously good concert excepted)! Married people are generally pathetic at knowing how to reach out to single people, and I happen to get along quite well with most men. But I'll tell you, that couple from Redding didn't have any problems with me. We hit it off and hopefully we will be hearing from her at least on this website.

Good Morning KoG! Isn't it unfortunate that there are immature "children" running around in adult bodies? I won't post my personal email address here either. There are a few individuals I do not trust, based on their obnoxious posts AND I know of one other person besides myself who has also received phone calls and quick hang-ups! I have enough brains to check the AREA CODES, people!
But, never fear, I've been working on another angle! TeeHee. Have asked a mutual friend to give you my email address. However, circumstances have prevented that person from viewing that email OR sending it to you. I'll just have to be patient and wait.
Naw, I don't do the news. It's more, "Look at my pretty/handsome newscaster's face, everybody," than it is about the news. Considering that only 7% of the news media are Christians, there is an obvious bias there AND if you want to wallow in all the awful things going on... I prefer "growing God bigger" and reminding myself of how He's intervened in MY life and of what His Word says about things. And I'm a natural-born pessimist. But it's important for me to keep balance by searching for the good.
