I thought this news was going to make me happy. So I’m watching the
videos that were put out showing exactly what he said. I see a lot of “Christians”
Amen-ing the videos. I would ask you to slowly consider not getting on this
bandwagon for several reasons.
First, the gentleman
with him in the video is Christopher Hudson, aka The Forerunner. He is a Seventh Day
Adventist cult leader who has penetrated many African American churches with
his Jay-z is a Freemason, Illuminati, part of the end time New World Order
nonsense. He talks often about end time prophecy and black helicopters. This
spirit has been the footprint of the Adventist since it’s origination. The world was predicted to end in 1844 with
the Second Coming of Christ, by William Miller, a New England Baptist itinerant
preacher. Miller's followers condemned all the churches of the day as apostate
and "Babylon," and warned Christians to come out of them. A great
many did, and the "adventist" movement was born and grew rapidly
(Melton, J. Gordon, Encyclopedia of American Religions, Vol. 2, pp. 21–22).
Christ did not
appear in 1844. After this "Great Disappointment," one "little
flock" still insisted the date of their original predictions had been
correct. They decided the event marked by 1844 was not the Second Coming, but
the entrance of Christ into the Holy of Holies in the Heavenly Sanctuary.
There, they said, He began the "Investigative Judgment." This
doctrine was received and endorsed by Ellen G. White (Ibid., p. 680).
Study their history
and you will see MANY repetitions of these doomsday prophecies that never come
to pass and then are explained away. Hudson is peddling “chicken little”
religion and is now exploiting Jones to do so (IMHO).
Secondly, we should
also be slow to consider why we need to parade celebrity “converts” around in
the media. Mostly it’s about promotion if we are going to be honest. These
ministers who use these new born celebrities exploit them often just like
Hollywood did. I know we claim it’s because of how many people they could
influence for the kingdom but we should be careful with that. It’s like telling
a Jr. High school student to forget about all the hurting kids and just pray
for the conversion of the quarter back. “If we can get him, it will impact the
whole school for Christ!” Where is this type of evangelism practiced or taught
in the Scriptures?
Lastly, if the show
is so defiled Mr. Jones and you feel so convicted, then why don’t you quit? Why
doesn’t your spiritual advisor suggest it? Would it have anything to do with you
won’t make $350k an episode anymore and you will be sued for millions? A lot of
people are truly suffering persecution around the world for their faith, that
shouldn’t be so hard.
Don’t tell a kid not
to smoke, with a cigarette hanging out your mouth.
