Strong City

A Message from the “Sweet Jesus”

(The Wrath Of The Lamb)
Adapted from John 8:42-45 and Matthew 23:

If God were your Father, you would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; I didn’t come of myself, but He sent me. Why do you not understand my speech? Because you cannot hear my words. You do not want to hear my words, so you lied in your “End Of The World Cult” story about me. Because of this, you revealed that you are of your father the devil, and the desire of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of lies. And because I tell you the truth, you don’t believe me. You think like Satan thinks, and you desire to make of things what he desires to make of things.

The media and the lawyers, politicians and preachers sit in the seat of authority.  Everyone seems to believe them because of this. The good that they profess, go ahead and do; but do not do as they do: for they say, and do not.  For they bind heavy burdens for people through their lying wonders, taxes, interest rates and laws, grievous to be borne, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers. They profess to tell the truth in their movies and cult “documentaries” and that they* “do things differently, different mentality” and are not “unscrupulous people” like others are, but they lie, and the people love to have it that way.  But all their works they do to be seen of men: they expand upon their noble deeds, and enlarge the borders of their personal possessions, and love the uppermost rooms at banquets, and the chief seats in the churches, and greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Journalist, Reverend, or Mr. President. But be not called Leader: for one is your Leader, even Christ; and all you are brethren. And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. Neither be you called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ Who speaks in you. But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.

But woe unto you, media and lawyers, politicians and preachers, hypocrites! for you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for you do not go in yourselves, neither will you permit them that are entering to go in, for in your presentations (the cult movie, Web sites, interviews and publications) you turn the truth into a lie. Woe unto you, media and lawyers, politicians and preachers, hypocrites! for you devour the possessions of the people through heavy taxation, usury and debt, and for a lying pretense make long speeches of how good you are, and what you intend to do to benefit the people, but everything stays the same: therefore you shall receive the greater damnation. Woe unto you, media and lawyers, politicians and preachers, hypocrites! for you compass sea and land to make one convert to your way of thinking, and when he is made, you make him twofold more the child of hell than you are yourselves.

Woe unto you, media and lawyers, politicians and preachers, hypocrites! for you profess the good deed of paying taxes on everything you own, but have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith. You should do what is right, but not to leave the true issues of life undone. You blind guides, which strain at a gnat of Saddam's weapons of mass destruction, and swallow a camel of your own thousands of nuclear warheads. Woe unto you, media and lawyers, politicians and preachers, hypocrites! for you make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter with your fancy dress, and nice broad smiles, but within you are full of extortion and excess. You blind leaders of the people, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.

Woe unto you, media and lawyers, politicians and preachers, hypocrites! for you are like unto painted mausoleums, which indeed appear beautiful outwardly, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness. Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but within you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity. Woe unto you, media and lawyers, politicians and preachers, hypocrites! because you build the tombs of the founding fathers, putting their pictures on your money, and garnish the graves of the righteous, and say, "If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in speaking against righteous men." Therefore you are witnesses against your own selves, that you are the children of those who killed the prophets, Messiahs and true spiritual teachers. Fill you up then the measure of your fathers. You serpents, you generation of vipers, how can you escape the damnation of hell?

Therefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, Messiahs and wise men, and those who write concerning the truth: and some of them you shall kill and crucify in your churches; and some of them shall you scourge and defame in your courts, and persecute them from city to city in your media: that upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Martin Luther King, whom you slew in his efforts to end prejudice. Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.

O Washington D.C., America, and U.K., you who kill the prophets, and stone them which are sent unto you, how often would I have gathered your children together, even as a hen gathers her chickens under her wings, and you would not! Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. For I say unto you, you shall not see me henceforth, till you shall say, "This is God talking to us."

*The following is from an interview recording with Ben Anthony, The End of the World Cult movie maker:

Michael: I wanted to show you and Eddie something here on the internet, why we have been sensitive to how things are presented, and that it should be the whole thing. And it's because this is what comes, this is what people publish -- VICE Magazine. They interviewed me a few months ago, about the time you were calling, Eddie. So I haven't been careful with you because I'm having secrets, but because there's a way in which people that hate things like this, just really gross it out.

Ben: That is pretty strong stuff there, just the top line.

Michael: Yes. You wouldn't believe how things get grossed out. So when we talk about things, I try to place them in a very correct context.

Ben: Yes. I assume they didn't actually put the question in that way to you?

Michael: No.

Ben: So they've rewritten the questions?

Michael: Oh yes.

Eddie: "Is there a way we can turn things around? We're always doing it."

Ben: Yes. It makes life very difficult for us when unscrupulous people do stuff like this. Or, you know, your previous experience with news media has not been a good one, neither. And so it puts us in a position of having to reassure people the whole time and explain that we're not them, we do things differently, you know, different mentality. It's the American side.

Michael: Well, this is what I've dealt with a lot. This is what we're used to in this country. It's just totally mindless.

Eddie: It's shark tactics, isn't it?

Ben: Sorry about that, Michael.

Michael: No, that's alright. But now you know why I'm sensitive [to interviews with the media]. The magazines, and the pages, and the blogs want to make me out to be a molester, or a false christ, or any number of things. I have not molested anyone in this land. I have not required anything of anyone in this land. I have not forced anyone in this land to do anything, but this is what's posted. So I'm asking you, what do you want? What do you want your movie to be?

Ben: Well, we just want this movie to be an honest and open picture of life here, and what goes on, and yourself.

Michael: Okay, okay. [END]
