No doubt as a believer, this town comes to our heart and mind. In fact there are believers from the Jewish, Muslim, and Christian faiths that all see this place as holy. All faiths claim it. But only one will succeed in having their LORD reign and rule from there. This would be of course, Jesus Christ, Yeshua Ha Massiach. This short article discusses Jerusalem. Much could be said, this article is not a complete course on the subject. It is just thoughts on this Famous town, one place where three top religions claim and the world looks on.

Bacchanalia: another word for Debauchery, A wild gathering involving excessive drinking and promiscuity. An orgiastic festival in ancient Greece in honor of Dionysus (= Bacchus)
When the Roman Empire would conquor a region, they would usually incorporate the better avenues of that society into Rome life. In the case of the Greeks, they would incorporate the food, literature, Gods, and language into the life of everyday Roman citizens. Today, even in America, we can trace certain things from the Roman culture. In this we find a myriad of Gods and traditions that have found their way to our land.

As 2009 gets closer, the daily account of bank foreclosures rise, businesses lay off workers, and the bailout seems to get higher. No matter what the nation of political ambitions seem to do, the trouble does not end. American life that has seen ease and prosperity which has been unequaled in the world as we know it, is coming to a bump in the road of hedonism.

Yes, the pleasure society that we all have seen and watched over the years as it seemed to enjoy it’s limitless time and money is now facing trouble. The whole irony of just how rich Americans are and how they seem to go through money like its nothing can be seen in the Madoff scandal. You know the Wall street power broker that is in the news for bilking 50 billion dollars from clients. It is said he still has 300 million left. Really? But even that amount is not enough to cover the massive losses he has occurred. Just think he was investigated some 7 years ago and was cleared. What happened? How can one person lose 50 billion? How can one person even need that much? As for my family and I, just a measly one million could set all my family including relatives up for life. Of course that would not be living as many do. But then, how can society look at this example of pure greed and get mad. After all he was just doing what many do legally on Wall street. Buy and sell. Did not the bankers lose it all as well? Did not the major banks in the World need bailout? Where did all their funds go? Yet in all this, the poor are still poor. The cold, the hungry, the oppressed in our society just look on and go without.
