Elvis could be the Anti-christ

Not many people see this coming, but for me it's as plain as the nose on my face. Curiously enough I've heard It joked in a few places that Elvis was the antichrist, but I don't think it's a joke. Let me explain why. I grew up right next to Memphis. My mom also grew up here. My uncles went to school with him. As far as he goes personally, he didn't intend all that's gone down. The public idolized him so much that he was pretty much a puppet on a string and not in control. In the early days of my life I would hear about how much he was so idolized that he couldn't go anywhere in public without creating a huge turmoil, so for instance he would rent a whole theatre to watch a movie, or a whole empty store to shop himself. The public gave him the title"THE KING' which even he tried to rebuke. He would hear people say "There's the king"' and he would say "no man, Jesus is the king", but he was powerless to change what the public was to do with him. With all the money and fame and anything he wanted he was a miserable man, a preacher stated he told him just that. His touring and ego and drugs screwed him up. In the end he was into all kinds of screwy religions, taking sleeping pills to go to sleep, getting uppers to wake up, finally coming to a sad end on a bathroom floor.

What did he do to propel himself like a shooting star? He took old time Memphis Gospel, mixed it with rhythm and blues, paired it with his charisma and looks and style and it was like lighting a rocket. Strangely enough if you listen to alot of classic blues songs alot of them were made into rock songs, and the rock versions went a heck of alot further and made a whole lot more money. Its what the white people wanted. My mom said that at his first concerts, the yard people would find a bunch of panties lying around because the girls would scream so much that they would pee on themselves.

Well where do I get the idea that he's the antichrist?

First of all, if you do not believe the bible, don't waste your time reading this. You have to believe in God and the Bible for this to make any sense at all. Also, if you only listen to what other people tell you is in the Bible, instead of reading it for yourself and asking God for guidance, you will also not make much sense of this. In Revelations, it says the beast will "deceive the whole world". That's WHOLE world. Those who love God will not worship him, but will be deceived on who he is.

Also, This is what I read in the bible, and what I believe it means. Too many times I hear preachers and people say "This is what it means", instead of "This is what I think think this says and why". Only God himself knows what every sentence of the bible means exactly.  After 49 years of life and countless hours of reading the bible and seeing what has happened in society, and praying for God to show me what it all means, this is all MY beliefs.

Go back to Exodus in the Bible. To the scene where Moses was on the mountain getting the Commandments and the people ran amok. They had just been shown amazing signs and wonders, and were delivered from the Egyptians by God. After just 40 days, they thought Moses was gone and died on the Mountain, and made a calf to worship. Did you ever wonder why? Why did they make a calf to worship? Why did that make God so angry he almost exterminated them? A little study of Egyptian Deities sheds some light. In Egyptology, there is a God, called "apis". He was considered to be the "creator" in their pagan rites. Read this-     https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apis_(deity)

You will find that the false "creator" was a bull deity worshiped and venerated in Memphis, Egypt. The "apis bulls" were around at the time of the Exodus. They were reverting back to the religion they were just delivered from, and shown the true one, but as evil as they and we are, went back to it. We, as humans, are inclined to evil. Its our nature unless God himself changes us.

Now, thousands of years later, people venerate and at times worship "The King", and his shrine at "Graceland", in Memphis, Tennessee. They have no idea what they are doing. Its just a musical pioneer to them that started a "revolution". When you research him, you will read of his very confused and mixed up religious life. He went from Christian to Mystic, and considered himself a "master" or something. What is plain as day, is what changed in society after his impact- The entire world. Myself included.

      I look at Las Vegas, the most sinful place on earth, and wonder at the wedding chapels where you are not married by a minister, but Elvis. He has many Idols of himself there and around the entire world. FOR WHAT? For being the author of the music that changed the whole world, and gives rise to lyrics like "leave me alone don't want your promises no more, cause rock n roll is my religion and my God"-Ozzy, also to him lately "God is dead". Also AC/DC-"if your into evil you a friend of mine", "if goods on the left then I'm stickin to the right", and "won't take no prisoners, won't spare no lives, nobodys puttin up a fight, we got the power gonna take you to hell, were gonna get ya, satan'll get ya, Hells Bells".   Don't even get me started into black metal. I don't have the heart to type that crap.

You would think, with such a huge world change, that it would be in the bible somewhere. Not easy to find, since Martin Luther took the book of Wisdom out of the Bible, but look at Chapter 14 in the book of Wisdom, on the origins and evil of Idolatry, and the "sudden end" that would come from it.

 


12
For the source of wantonness is the devising of idols;

and their invention, a corruption of life.g

13For in the beginning they were not,

nor can they ever continue;h

14for from human emptiness they came into the world,

and therefore a sudden end is devised for them.

15* For a father, afflicted with untimely mourning,

made an image of the child so quickly taken from him,

And now honored as a god what once was dead

and handed down to his household mysteries and sacrifices.

16Then, in the course of time, the impious practice gained strength and was observed as law,

and graven things were worshiped by royal decrees.i

17People who lived so far away that they could not honor him in his presence

copied the appearance of the distant king

And made a public image of him they wished to honor,

out of zeal to flatter the absent one as though present.

18And to promote this observance among those to whom it was strange,

the artisan’s ambition provided a stimulus.

19For he, perhaps in his determination to please the ruler,

labored over the likeness* to the best of his skill;j

20And the masses, drawn by the charm of the workmanship,

soon took as an object of worship the one who shortly before was honored as a human being.k

21And this became a snare for the world,

that people enslaved to either grief or tyranny

conferred the incommunicable Name on stones and wood.

22Then it was not enough for them to err in their knowledge of God;l

but even though they live in a great war resulting from ignorance,

they call such evils peace.m

23For while they practice either child sacrifices or occult mysteries,

or frenzied carousing in exotic rites,n

24They no longer respect either lives or purity of marriage;

but they either waylay and kill each other, or aggrieve each other by adultery.

25And all is confusion—blood and murder, theft and guile,o

corruption, faithlessness, turmoil, perjury,

26Disturbance of good people, neglect of gratitude,

besmirching of souls, unnatural lust,

disorder in marriage, adultery and shamelessness.

27For the worship of infamous idols

is the reason and source and extreme of all evil.p








Read it and weep. This explains why we are in the mess we are in. We worship the created more than the creator. We then musically brainwash ourselves into thinking that the wrong is right, and then blame God when it blows up in our face, and dont heed what scriptures like this plainly state. But for the rightious who repent their sinful nature, we rely on God, who will make things right. In the mean time, he has to look at a Shrine to Elvis in a JERUSALEM SUBURB, complete with a GOLD IDOL in front of it. You want to know how asleep the world is? Ultra Orthodox rabbis violently protest petty things like garages being open on the sabbath in Israel, but have no mass protest of this-

https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/elvis-american-diner

 Google Gold Statue of Elvis in Israel. There's lots of stories of the "shrine" to Elvis in Israel. One says "Elvis is still King in Israel".  Things haven't changed much in 2000 years. When they crucified Jesus , members of the sanhedrin complained to Pilate, "you should not have written, "The King of the Jews", but that he claimed to be King of the Jews". BUT SEEMINGLY HAVE NO PROBLEM TO A LIFESIZE GOLD STATUE OF ELVIS, AND SAY HE IS STILL KING IN ISRAEL.

You can't claim the translation is confusing. Any spiritual discernment plainly shows this black and white is what God said not to do. I bless Israel. I pray for it's conversion, but if they continue in their stubborn rebellion, like they have since Moses was on the mountain, God will wipe them out and save his remnant, and they will not be able to blame Iran, They will have themselves to blame. It's written in their law. And as sure as the son rose everything written in the Bible comes to pass. The writing is in the bible and on the wall. From the Torah-

24 All the nations will ask: “Why has the Lord done this to this land? Why this fierce, burning anger?”
25 And the answer will be: “It is because this people abandoned the covenant of the Lord, the God of their ancestors, the covenant he made with them when he brought them out of Egypt. 26 They went off and worshiped other gods and bowed down to them, gods they did not know, gods he had not given them. 27 Therefore the Lord’s anger burned against this land, so that he brought on it all the curses written in this book. 28 In furious anger and in great wrath the Lord uprooted them from their land and thrust them into another land, as it is now.”

29 The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may follow all the words of this law.


     And there it is. Not difficult to understand. What blows my mind is there are men who study the Torah for years on end, and do not understand this, or have said anything about it.. Its like Jesus said, they put their faith and lives in the Torah, and they will be Judged by it. Also, in Memphis, the Commercial Appeal ran a story about the Elvis Inn, and on the front page, on a Sunday, was in big bold letters "Israel honors "The King" " and next to that a picture of the huge Gold statue of him, and although there is a church on almost every corner in Memphis, there was not one word of complaint. When the Lord allows Israel's enemies to wipe it out, and the turmoil spreads to the whole world, we also, will have only ourselves to blame.


   1-1-24

    That was written in its entirety and not changed since I published it 10 years ago. I wrote that because I have known that something about Elvis and Rock and Roll is not good. I've read it myself hundreds of times, and it makes me feel better about the fact that I said something about a glaring truth in society that almost no one seems to see. I've known it since the first time I went to a concert as a  kid, in I think 1976, to see KISS. I held all Rock musicians in hero esteem back then. It was all anybody listened to in my generation. But when I experienced the columns of fire, the songs about sex and destruction, and then saw a demon dressed creature spew blood out of his mouth pouring all over the stage, it scared me and I got a really bad feeling from my conscience, all the while the whole audience went wild.  At the time Elvis was still alive but in rough shape. The book "Elvis What Happened" came out, and everything that the public didn't know about him was brought out in the open. And I reflected then about how everyone idolized him as a hero who delivered them to a kind of "Liberty".  Then he died. I was a paperboy for the evening newspaper. I remember women waiting on their doorstep personally to get it, and they were all crying. From that time on, I've always known that something was really wrong with the spiritual consequences from rock and roll. And to this day, almost 50 years later, I can't believe no one believes me or sees this. It is so glaringly obvious to me that we as a society weren't perfect, but until the 50's as shown to me on old tv programs and history, didn't turn a blind eye to sin being celebrated and accepted as normal. And then, as prophesied in the book of Wisdom I quoted above, what happens when you glorify evil (As Rock and Roll does)  more than God was fulfilled-

 "20
And the masses, drawn by the charm of the workmanship,

soon took as an object of worship the one who shortly before was honored as a human being.

For while they practice either child sacrifices or occult mysteries,

or frenzied carousing in exotic rites,n

but they either waylay and kill each other, or aggrieve each other by adultery.

25And all is confusion—blood and murder, theft and guile,o

CAN'T ANYONE ON THIS PLANET SEE THAT THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED?


Everyone seems to be in dismay, in wondering how we can have so many mass shootings, murders, mass homelessness, lawlessness and all of this, and do not heed what this exactly states to the letter. It builds up my faith because that was written over 2000 years ago, and has been fulfilled right before my eyes. But it is also so painful to me to see so much suffering and confusion. Their are so many Fathers out there who leave their sons and go "find theirselves and what they want" And the horrible things that are unfolding before us are the result of being musically brainwashed into thinking that wrong is right, and good people are bad, and the one who loves God and Jesus is the Problem.  Im telling you right now, Idolatry and Godlessness is the problem, and loving God and his law and others is the solution. Its almost too late if its not already. 

      This has happened before. Over and over in the Bible in the books of Chronicles and Kings in the Bible, Israel turned from God and devoted themselves to Idolatry and Selfishness. God would send them prophets to warn them, and they would be wiped out or severely punished. Then they would turn back to God, and he would restore them.  So 2000 years later, here we are.  Gods law has become shredded by what is "popular" in society, just like it was then, and it was put in high gear by the modern day Pied Piper and Rock and Roll . Read the lyrics of the Rolling Stones, Metallica, RUSH, and all of the so called heros of Rock. And see the consequences before your eyes. We are heading to a brick wall. And I feel it more and more each day. That was written 10 years ago, and like it said, Israel cannot blame Iran from what they are going through now. If they were faithfully serving God and abiding in honest love for others and him, I do not think 10-7-23 would have happened .

       Nobody but God knows when, but he did tell us the signs of his coming and the Great Apostacy that would precede it. I'm praying its close. I don't want to live through the crash that is facing us. I'm praying for all who love God to be taken home soon, or given the strength and patient endurance to make it till the end.  Peace and love and strength to all who love God and everything that is good. Me

  4. I was born and raised here in Memphis. I was born in 1964. As a kid, I watched the country fracture from the Vietnam war and the counterculture movement. Seeing Elvis so idolized and what rock and roll seem to bring to society formed my viewpoint of him being an idol. As the years go by, I still think of the negative spiritual consequences he inspired through music, but I'm not so sure that he is THE antichrist. Reviewing history, and paralleling it with the bible, I think he was at least one of the horns on the beast. Other candidates who are possibilities are of course Hitler, Stalin, Nero, Napoleon, Mao, the Papal system, the US presidential system..... nobody knows exactly. Its a mystery. But I think the Antichrist maybe right here. The internet. This is exclusively made up of man. Invented at the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland (CERN) to store vast amounts of data from physics experiments aiming to define creation and what holds everything together. To me the modern tower of Babylon. It has some good in it, but like us, has a sin nature in it that can be seen in alot of Facebook post and all of the pornography poured onto the whole world. We will see. What I find comfort on now is that even though I am part of that very thing that I consider evil, my faith in God and his Son, and my attempts to Love others and serve others, and the joys I find in simple life by getting off of this manmade machine which controls the whole world, gives me grace, and peace. We will see in the end and understand, until then we are just guessing. Like looking through foggy binoculars. I so pray for and look forward to the day God defends is name and takes us home and everything is crystal clear. Peace and Love to all. Me

  5. I was watching FB videos and stumbled across one of Elvis in his 68 come back special. And just watching him, I knew something was off, something wicked. And I got to thinking, satan has an antichrist/beast ready at anytime. For he doesn't know when the second coming is, so he has to be ready. I think Hitler was one, and now starting to think Elvis was another. He epitomizes everything the antichrist could be. And look how much he changed the world through his music for the worse. The things rock and roll glorifies. I googled my thoughts to see if anyone else has thought this and stumbled across your blog. You're not the only one brother. Keep on keeping on. See you on the other side.
