‘Burning Man Gathers Yearly, a referendum on Hedonism and Pride’
America was born into the bonfires of the turbulent frontier. The shores upon which the pilgrims landed were in themselves already taken. By which, we a more pompous and prosperous people did avail ourselves upon these elected lands. Lands that many over the years have sought to release from the grasp of this people. To wit native Indian lands. But this story is not about the injustices done to these peoples, howbeit, much has been done to affront them to the state of which they have been delivered.
This is about the people who today have inherited the lands upon which many of us own lands, houses, and businesses. It is a fact that in this nation, as in many other European nations that would have in past decades classified themselves as basic Christian-Judeo, are now in fact pure pagan. It should not surprise anyone to know this today. A quick survey of the channel 3, known as the Television Guide channel produces a display of lust, abundance, sex, power, enjoyment, and pushes the one watching to imbide in the display of hedonistic behavior. John Adams spoke on the quest for Man’s lust for Power. But the quote I want to release to you is one where he speaks of Democracy soon to degenerate into an anarchy where every many would do that which is right in his own eyes. In his writing he speaks of moral virtues, intellectual abilities, wealth, beauty, wit, science, and speaks a short phrase of ‘wanton pleasures.’
“[D]emocracy will soon degenerate into an anarchy, such an anarchy
that every man will do what is right in his own eyes and no man’s
life or property or reputation or liberty will be secure, and every
one of these will soon mould itself into a system of subordination
of all the moral virtues and intellectual abilities, all the powers
of wealth, beauty, wit and science, to the wanton pleasures, the
capricious will, and the execrable cruelty of one or a very few.”
– John Adams (An Essay on Man’s Lust for Power, 29 August 1763)

It is not an unknown problem for the people of early life in this nation. For be told truth, the American frontier was full of wanton pleasures. This was true in the first step of a foreign born person upon these shores to the current ones birthed today. America has known the vast array of such pleasures. It has grasp them and prospered. The trouble we have today is that as Americans, the embracing of such wanton and hedonistic pleasures is at its expanse throughout this land.
We seem to be and have followed the tastes of many peoples before us. Such a people was totally unable to tell the differences between what is good and what is wrong. No differences say they, for being motivated by their own carnal lusts, the behavior that was an affront to any society in the past, today is accepted. We have gone from a people that knew what promiscuity was to one saying it is okay. A society where churches used to walk in holiness, refrain from hedonistic behavior, and pursue godliness. Today, in most quarters, churches with the most educated seminarian trained Pastors follow unbridled lust and pursue it. We are a people that has no problem with idols, foreign gods, homosexuality, fornication, drinking, imbibing, and pursuing any and all pleasures. We are not troubled by witchcraft, black magic, Satanism, nor any related item to these quarters of trouble. In fact, once a year we dress our children up in such garb as to promote witchcraft, black magic, Satanism, hedonism, murder, horror, and every conceivable thing we can conjure up for fun and frolic. No doubt today, America is Pagan. Of course, she is not alone, many other nations are partnered with her in this.
Revelation 18:2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
We as a people have been ignorant of this as we blindly allow ourselves to follow what others have done before us. Need I mention Sodom, Gomorrah, Nineveh, Babylon, Rome, the Empire of Alexander the Great, and others who did as they please and went into history, but did not stand as a nation anymore. Revelation 18 mentions Babylon. A place that many have argued whether it is America or not. The issue is not whether she is or is not. The issue is the example of what happened to her for her iniquity. She was full of every foul spirit, unclean spirit, and demon there was. This was a nation, a land, a place where the influence to the other nations was tremendous. As the context above says “all nations have drunk the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her.” In this context also is a command to the people of God telling them to: “Come out of her my people that ye be not partakers of her sins and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven and God hath remembered her iniquities.” Let me say this again for emphasis, “God hath remembered her iniquities.” With this scripture let me insert one more, which says; “Psalms 9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God, and again in the same context verse 20 says; “Put them in fear, O LORD: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah.”
It is about at this juncture where people expect and professional journalists also desire to see proof. Proof for many would be a myriad of statistics and figures proving how many sexual laden, sin laden, lust filled, perverts we actually have. How many divorces, how many murders, thefts, adulteries, etc there are in comparison with other years. Americans are great, not just great, but fantastic at rationalizing everything there is affecting them. Today it is a right, open sex, no discrimination in marriage so from their view, homosexual partners can marry. It is a right in America, we have trouble even defining pornography. It is a right in America
the only law today is that is virtually no law against the hedonism we enjoy. We can save the whales, sharks, sea anomies, and even other nations, but we cannot stop abortion-the killing of innocent babies. We justify all we do, pass laws saying it is okay to do such things, and then blink at God saying “who are you to tell us what to do and what is right or wrong!” Well let me say that this attitude actually brought down Sodom and Gomorrah and many other nations. It is Pride, which goes before a fall. A haughty arrogant attitude that will not listen to any God, let alone the True and living God. Look at the next scripture which mentions that the sin first listed of Sodom was ‘Pride’ and not ‘sodomy’. Howbeit, sodomy was employed there as it was in Gomorrah, Israel, Rome, and in America today. Then comes the next sin of ‘fullness of bread’, then followed by ‘abundance of idleness.’ Stop right there and look at America [other nations as well: Canada, Great Britain, Denmark, i.e. Europe], who has enjoyed the greatest abundance and wealth creating whole markets for pleasures that came as a result of all that idleness. We are full [literally], abundant, proud, and have enjoyed a myriad of things to do during our idle hours.
Ezekiel 16:49 Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fullness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.
This describes a nation, a people, and a time period when hedonism, abundance of pagan behavior, and lawlessness have taken over. It is into this time period that the ‘Son of Perdition’ will come. For this man of ‘lawlessness’ will bring in its fullness the behavior that will be judged during the great tribulation. He will come during a world crisis, turbulent, and waiting for a Savior who will lift up the sensual and spiritual behavior of adultery before God almighty. It will be a time when the ‘light’ of this deceiver will illumine the world, blinding them in their sins and lusts. They will thus follow this destroyer into ‘perdition’ or destruction. America is on the forefront to fall headlong into the abyss of this deceiver and the coming end times of chaos. America will indeed accept and follow this deceiver as will all the nations. It is time, my people, saith my God, “Come out of her and be not partaker of her sins, nor receive of her plagues.”
James 5:5 Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter
2 Thessalonians 2:7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
