The song "imagine" by John Lennon-who infamously was quoted as saying the beatles were more popular than Jesus Christ-is without a doubt the anthem of the new world. In analyzing the lyrics of the song, you can see that Lennon saw what today's world sees. "Imagine there's no heaven"...is the cry of the humanist who discredits God's sovereignty and justice. The same applies to "no hell below us". It is an ever increasing popular cry as the harvest continues to grow and humans become more and more enamored with creation and humanity itself. Lennon, in pleading for people to "live for today" was only looking to serve the hungry human appetite for a life apart from God, a life free of guilt as self-love at times becomes so rampant that it declares man god. But the very interesting "imagine there's no countries" is possible today as individual sovereignty of states is being pushed aside for the belief in a one world government. As obvious as Lennon's distaste for anything divine or unseen was, declaring that there's "nothing to live or die for" is a complex statement since it contradicts his overall message of "love". That the world is more unanimously seeking a pluralist, "tolerant" society in terms of creeds/religions, etc, is in direct line with Lennon's imagine. He is a secular prophet perhaps.
It seems that "peace" is the word of the century, if not the millennium. Humanity and all its dictates preach that 5 letter word as if it were indeed a reality waiting to happen. And it appears that everyone is pointing in one direction...
The cry "I hope some day you join us" is the cry of revolutions taking place throughout the world, as the new order of things begins to unfold more and more clearly. Without the use of unpopular terms, the need for deception increases as those less informed continue on their path of oblivion while the world CHANGES on its path to be "as one"...
See, Lennon, like all other humanists, failed to understand society's biggest problem. The world's biggest problem isn't poverty. The world's biggest problem isn't greed. It's not injustice. It's not war. It's not famine. It's not global warming. The world's biggest problem is the one it CAN'T solve nor will it EVER be able TO solve.
It is the only certainty in life, and by no coincidence is the exact opposite thereof.
The world's biggest problem is....
DEATH!
And only God can take care of that "problem". Only God overcame that problem. Imagine that...
Jesus Christ OWNS death. And so the dead bury their own.
COME LORD JESUS!
