"Caption Nation" back! No, not because I want something to be "popular" or to "tickle the senses", but because I know that the good Lord uses all sorts of things to draw people to Him.
Much like He used the Occultist Nostradamus to eventually bring me to the truth about Him and His Word after 9/11, perhaps He intends to use humor and a feature like this as a way of "speaking" to certain individuals and getting their attention.
Besides, I'm fond of saying that the problem with Christianity today is that it's more "style" than "substance". If this Caption Nation series makes me a hypocrite in the eyes of some then so be it! They're not spending a lot of time here then reading all the other "substance"-laden studies.
In any event, in these spiritually dark times it behooves those within the Body of Christ who are watching to also take a few moments every now and then to laugh a little bit and lighten our spirits in the midst of so much chaos and trepidation. After all, despite all the chaos and uncertainty in the world around us we can rest easy knowing that our Heavenly Father is still in COMPLETE CONTROL at all times -- always!
The idea is simple really. I figure that since we're now primarily a society that largely gets its news and information from headlines, bylines, sound bytes, news tickers, and tweets why not utilize that reality to our advantage, but in a Christian and Bible prophecy forum.
Here's how it works. Each week (most likely on Saturdays), I will post a photo that could very well be the "Photo of the Week", but I'll choose one that I think we could have some fun with by tying an end times prophecy related truth to it. Make no mistake, however, because just because some might take a "light-hearted" and "humorous" approach, the reality is that there will be TRUTH in any submissions that are made; truth about what's in our near future based on what the Bible has to say about such things.
For instance, here's this week's picture:
Ok, now it's your job to light up the Comments Section with your best CAPTION idea. Submit one, two, three, or four -- submit as many as you feel led to! I will always kick things off, but then it's up to you to give it your best shot. Try to keep it to a single sentence or two. We'll collect your thoughts for an entire week and then reveal the "winner" (what I determine is the best caption for that particular photo).
If yours is selected you will win an all expenses paid trip to...sorry. Actually, you won't win much of anything (I don't have anything to give you or send you at the moment!) except bragging rights and the pride of knowing yours was the best-of-the-best for that week. Perhaps one day when this blog becomes The Drudge Report of Bible Prophecy Websites then I can afford to have an actual "prize" or "SWAG" ("Stuff We All Get") to send to each winner.
Wanna see how it works? Here's last week's photo:
There were MANY creative submissions, but the winner of last week's "Caption Nation Contest" is Ron W's entry with:
Congratulations Ron! You're no stranger to these parts, and you just won the prestige and bragging rights for a week so be sure to flaunt it now with all your friends and family within your sphere of influence.
Honorable Mentions go to...
So, there you have it. Not too hard, right? I'm excited to see what many of you can come up with next because obviously we have some intelligent and creative people who stop by here regularly. Don't let me down!
Thanks for playing along.

After Jeff Radt's post on the bowls of wrath. Sinners were brought to their knees. Alleying themselves with others in what could be characterized as a new 'Pintecostal Movement.' I love puns. Call me a Pundamentalist.
God's Grace,
Ron

Once again man gets it wrong, it's supposed to be SEVEN heads and TEN horns!!
Rev 13:1 NIV - And the dragon stood on the shore of the sea. And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. He had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on his horns, and on each head a blasphemous name.
What a cute little beast!! Here beastie, beastie beastie!!
