Look Up Fellowship "And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draws near." Luke 21:28

As crazy as it sounds, yes, PERHAPS embedded within and through this under-reported story there's a clear message for us that something the Bible clearly talks about happening during the end times is something that's a lot closer than we even think it is. Again, I caution "PERHAPS" although this is pretty strong evidence.

Unreal. That's the best word to describe these things nowadays. A Synchro-Pop connection with the McKinney affair I just wrote about earlier today? Yes, as absurd as it sounds, it would appear that way. Could it really be?

Obviously, regular readers (or those of you who have begun stopping by regularly for the past 2-3 weeks now) know that we've spent quite a bit of time looking at the end times concept called "The Black Awakening", which Russ Dizdar has devoted his entire ministry to.

In fact, Russ was recently on one of Steve Quayle's final shows last week (highly recommended if you haven't listened to it yet). They spent a great deal of time talking about how Christians should prepare for the coming flood of demonic influence upon the Earth.

I found this next set of small discoveries quite interesting when you consider that it directly ties in to this entire notion of demonically possessed and super-charged people wreaking havoc on a worldwide basis in the very near future during this Black Awakening.

How did I arrive at these "small discoveries" you ask? Well, just for fun I took something I picked up on in the Cynthia McKinney story I just wrote about, did a Google search for the name of the Greek vessel she was riding on before being intercepted by the Israeli Navy, and sure enough found a direct connection to ancient Greek and Roman Mythology -- again -- that seems to speak to the nearness of the fulfillment of end times prophecies. In this case, it seems to speak directly to this idea of a Black Awakening being imminent.

Check this out:

> The name of the Greek ship McKinney and her party were on was called the "Arion". Arion was a legendary "kitharode" (a "professional performer") in ancient Greece, a Dionysiac poet credited with inventing the "dithyramb", or "an ancient Greek hymn" sung to the god Dionysus and was also a term used as an epithet of the god.

> So, how unusual is it that the name of the ship McKinney was on when this latest incident happened has to do with a "professional performer" when I just concluded in that last piece that perhaps McKinney was orchestrating these run-ins with Israel to advance her Anti-Semitic agenda and contributing to this whole "hate Israel" meme?

> Remarkably, although notable for his musical inventions, Arion is chiefly remembered for the fantastic myth of his kidnapping by pirates and miraculous rescue by dolphins, a folktale motif and eerie parallel (just in the sense that she charged the Israelis had no right to stop the boat, arrest and detain them; akin to "kidnapping" in her eyes by what she sees as a navy that acts more like "pirates"?) to this real world event involving Cynthia McKinney and her party.

> In that mythological story, one of the dolphins who saved Arion's life and carried him to safety at the sanctuary of Poseidon at Cape Tainaron. An interesting note about Cape Tainaron is that there is a cave at the tip of Cape Matapan that Greek legends claim was the home of Hades, the "god of the dead". That's fitting.

> Remember all that business with the "sea snakes" and "sea serpents" that kept popping up all over about 2 weeks ago? Well, Arion is often depicted riding a SEA HORSE:



> According to Aristotle, the dithyramb was the origin of the Ancient Greek theatre, and one may recognize as a dithyramb the chorus invoking Dionysus in Euripides' The Bacchae. Now, where this made me think of the coming Black Awakening is when I read that Dionysus is the "god of wine", the inspirer of ritual madness and ecstasy.

> Almost all myths depicted Dionysus as having "foreign" origins: typical of the "god of the epiphany", or "the god that comes".

> To the Romans he was known as Bacchus and the frenzy he induces. He was also known as the Liberator, freeing one from one's normal self, by madness, ecstasy, or wine.

> Scholars have discussed Dionysus' relationship to the "cult of the souls" and his ability to preside over communication between the living and the dead.

> Dionysus is a god of mystery religious rites. His own rites, the Dionysian Mysteries, were the most secretive of all. The Dionysian Mysteries were a ritual which used intoxicants and other trance inducing techniques (sounds like DMT doesn't it?), such as dance and music, to remove inhibitions and artificial societal constraints, liberating the individual to return to a more natural and primal state.

> The Cult of Dionysus is strongly associated with satyrs, centaurs, and sileni, or those creatures we've often shown to be very similar to those the Bible says will be released from the Bottomless Pit one day soon. The characteristic symbols of this cult are the bull, the serpent, the ivy, and the wine.

> In their final phase the Mysteries apparently shifted from a primeval orientation to a transcendental, mystical one, with Dionysus altering his nature accordingly (much in the same way as happened in the cult of Shiva). Some see these Mysteries, with their resurrected god and secret knowledge about the afterlife, as the precursor of the Eleusinian Mysteries, Orphic Mysteries, and Gnosticism.

> The rites were based on a seasonal death-rebirth theme and on spirit possession. It also involved an escape from the socialized personality and ego either into an ecstatic, deified state or into a primal herd, often both. Dionysus in this sense was the "beast god" within, or as we moderns might conceive it, the unconscious mind.

Hmmm, I think that's a good place for us to stop so we can let this all sink in. What do we make of this? As always, how do we explain this? I always like to think that if this is an advance GPS ("God Protection System") to warn those of us who love Him, but who maybe don't spend as much time in His holy Word as we should, then maybe this is His way of saying our time is short and this is coming sooner than we think.

Obviously, that's always been pure speculation on my part but we can't ignore these cases when they occur because they're happening with greater frequency and intensity.

Daniel 12:4 anyone?
